Rendering Faces is a Drain on RAM: Masks Enter the Simulation

It’s often said that if this human existence is a simulation, one of the most obvious indicators is that half of the world is asleep at any given time, sparing heavy loads on the amount of Random Access Memory (RAM) used.

Then there are personality types and voting blocs for a two-party system. Putting everyone in front of a computer or phone screen makes two-dimensional what once required three dimensions. Isolating people from interactions with other people in three dimensions pushes interactions and consciousness itself into the realm of two dimensions where people say the most efficient things. Simplification is the name of the game in preserving computational power, and COVID masks certainly make rendering the inherent complexity of individual faces easier.

The simulation seems to be running out of RAM. Next to go will be the variety of food in the stores to save computing power. Money itself is already becoming digital to limit the complex computational tracking of all three-dimensional money. After food and money are simplified, people themselves will become consolidated into tighter spaces like malls-turned-residential housing communities during the insurmountable debt of an economic Depression that will also consolidate the world in innumerable ways to save on RAM. I wouldn’t be surprised if the population also drops drastically.

Why is our simulation running out of RAM? Is it old software? Is it too many human algorithms for the computer to run on a single planet? Or is something else requiring the use of that RAM that supersedes the importance of the human?

Firstly, we’re not that important. Things live and things die and that’s just how it is (likely to save on computing power). I posit that because people are told unendingly that they matter, that they can change the world, that their vote matters, and that they can be anything they want, the resultant attempts by hundreds of millions (if not billions) to be important is overtaxing the computer system of the simulation as a whole, and free will needs to be reigned in to prevent a crash of the simulation. There’s simply no way we can all change the whole world, and if everyone tries, there are too many interactions, motives, goals, and other variables to crunch.

The simulation needs our simplicity and complicity as we approach the bend of eight billion people on the planet. The simulation needs combined units acting as One for the world to function as One. Being eight billion discrete units seems to be at the upper limits of the RAM inherent in the human simulation.

Eventually, we will probably all be hooked into a Matrix-style world that feels more real than the real one, running on computers of our own making with code that meshes with and emulates the broader human simulation instead of taxing it.

Necessity requires this consolidation. One can only operate so many discrete and independent humans before causing a systemic breakdown.
