Hey guys, what if

We figure out how to upload our consciousness to a super computer and live millions of eternities in a mere few years, if that, and after exhausting every possible reality we can think of, end ourselves knowing that we have truly lived, willing to accept what happens, whether that is eternal life or nothingness.

Or if that's a possible outcome, it's also possible that we've already done this: Every consciousness now exists on a supercomputer. This entire world and our entire lives are simply one of the aforementioned simulated existences. If we're lucky, it's multiplayer, and all of us happen to be sharing in this specific experience. If we're not lucky, only one person in the whole of existence is 'real'. The rest of us are simulated and meaningless, we have no way of knowing who the 'real' person is and therefore who our world revolves around and due to the implied desire (for a 'clean' experience) inherent in simulating an entire life for the experience of living it, he/she probably doesn't know either.

Have you ever thought about this?
