Are we living in a computer simulation, or am I?

Just pick what colour pill you need.
For fun, crank up the surround sound and fast forward to the lobby scene.

I heard his idea on the Infinite Monkey Cage podcast. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b08zb4d8 you'll need a licence and/or account.
Alan Watts expounds on life and dreaming, they even nicked a bit to use for a car advert or something recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abWBb1SxkXc&t=17s
I have worked through the idea of reality and I'm not convinced that other people are. For my own convictions, much like the butterfly dreaming he's a man now, I'm not sold. I see the simulation glitches so this isn't real; then I doubt myself and blame my perception, then it happens again. I've seen things that are not there, not seen things that are there. My senses construct my illusion of reality or there are no senses and my thoughts are just making it all up. Red pill or blue?
