Living by an instruction manual is per definition "living". "just live your fucking life" means nothing and is what all NPCs think they are doing, but in reality are not.

And I don’t think that tradition or whatever is equatable to hedonism, it’s at least a more constructive lifestyle. I’m just saying that the only reason they mean anything to someone is because those words are loaded with positive connotations that make someone “feel good” when read. That rousing sense of importance or meaning you get when you read something about the eternal honor of man or the duty of the father, that’s just dopamine squirting in your head, and that’s only happening in the first place because you or someone else habituated you to react that way.

Can I ask you something? In your SimMap,jpg there are a number of models and one that sticks out to be is "One Observer Moment" and I had a question about that. So when you are playing a video game, The game is only "Live Time" Rendering what's exactly on the screen, but nothing else in the Simulation of that Game and its Environment is ever being rendered except for the present "Scene". So for example, if you are Grand Theft Auto, the other side of Town doesnt exist and isnt rendered until your character gets there to that spot (And when he does, moment to moment, the last scene/moment no longer needs to be rendered and therefore no longer exists). Is this what is being referred to here? Because I have a Hunch thats whats going on in Our Sim, we are just being rendered reality with whatever is seen and heard in front and around us to save on processing. And in deep sleep, nothing is rendered at all allowing a refresh/reset for the render upon "waking up"
