short answer, no. Long answer: i think the simulation theory is more of a philosophical lens than an actual explanation of reality. Its an interesting thought experiment, that maybe some higher intelligence coded our universe, but there’s zero tangible evidence.…
Imagine the designer setting all those physical constants we know in science. Randomness of the numbers indicate perhaps all of this came into existence through endless random iteration over billions of years. Or maybe there is a grand designer, really.

An orthodox christian nominally. But deep down an agnostic. I was doing my own research the past few months and i'd say i never even scratched the surface of it. For the time being im an agnostic, in the future, i will go to one end, definitely.
The thing is, as you study deeper and ask questions, in a way religion has more room for doubt than faith. The very act of believing in something unseen means doubt will always sit beside it.

Like i can raise hundreds of questions from logic point of view that renders most things in religion just look less persuasive/genuine.

The following is my honest take, ik it is going to offend a lot of you but it is what it is.
the biggest issue i have with religion and most religious teachings is the arrogance built into them. Everyone believes their version is the truth, while looking down on everyone else. Like are we even being honest? 90% of people didn’t choose their religion, they just inherited it from their parents or from where they were born, and yet they walk around acting like divine gatekeepers of truth.
isnt religion supposed to be about morality, virtue and compassion? isnt the heart what really matters? but instead you hear things like, “if you don’t believe in jesus or muhammad or krishna you’ll burn forever.” really? so a kind, honest, selfless person who spent their life helping others deserves eternal fire because they didnt repeat the right name? how does that even make sense?
if a god exists, and he is just, why would he care more about your label than your heart? why would he condemn a good person who doubts what he can’t see, while rewarding someone who follows blindly out of fear? Thats not holiness, thats tyranny pretending to be faith.
the truth is, morality dont need a religion. You dont need a book or a temple to be good, you just need empathy. if youre humble, compassionate and fair, you already got what religion was supposed to teach.
and honestly, if there is a God who would punish someone for thinking freely and living right, just because they didnt believe in him, then that God ain’t worth following. Any real god would value sincerity over obedience, understanding over fear, and goodness over dogma.

I'm going to read these two books before this year ends and write a good review.
I have been planning to read them like since forever, and its time

In science, progress often comes from standing on the shoulders of giants, but sometimes it comes from tripping them.

What is theory of every thing?
The theory of everything (TOE) is a hypothetical single, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all physical aspects of the universe. It is sometimes referred to as the ultimate theory of the universe. As of yet, there is no accepted TOE, but string theory and the related M-theory have been considered by some to be the closest contenders, as they attempt to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity.
What will happen if we one day formulate it?
If a Theory of Everything is successfully formulated, it would allow scientists to explain and understand the behavior of all types of matter and energy and the interactions between them. It could also provide a unifying denoscription of the universe that encompasses all physical laws, from the laws of motion to the forces of nature. In short, it could revolutionize our understanding of the physical world.

Some years ago, the standard model was the closest we have ever been to TOE but later physicists found limitations. And over the years GUT (grand unified theory), string theory, M-theory, loop quantum gravity were formulated and they are the candidates to TOE.

I thought most of you knew what i look like (from my pfp) Should I do face reveal?
This is the most recent pic i could get (i dont like pics that much :))
Was 2 years ago tho

100 pages in and bro, I signed up for a whale hunt, not a philosophy class. Ishmaels out here pondering the soul while im still learning rope names. Queequeg might actually be the chillest dude alive. If they dont find this whale soon, i might😁

The multiverse theory is one of the most intriguing and exciting theory ever. If it is true that there are infinite number of universes, then statistically speaking there are infinite number of "you" in existence.
Imagine meeting your doppelganger from another universe🤯

That is according to level I and level II multiverse theory. The many world interpretation in QM also predicts the same way (though we have found a lot of limitations in it)
Some multiverse proposals have completely different physics constants or dimensions where life (or matter itself) cant exist.
In those universes, "you" could never arise.

Be an Entrepreneur
Book: Human Edge in the AI Age by Nitin Seth
The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create.
— Leonard I. Sweet, author and theologian
Entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful expressions of the Human Edge. At its core, it’s about imagination, initiative and impact. It’s the ability to see possibilities where others see problems, to take risks and shape new realities. As we step into the AI age, entrepreneurship is no longer just for startup founders or business elites—it is a mindset and skill set that every individual needs.
The AI age is not just disrupting jobs; it is reshaping the very idea of what a career looks like. Many traditional roles are disappearing, but in their place lies the rise of something exciting—the Age of Entrepreneurs.
