Simulation theory rebuttal:
The issue with the modern world and how we are made “productive” is the ways to make people feel “at home” create instant familiarity with peers for team cohesion has been designated by systems for human capital management. These systems, or in this data rich age, specific algorithms that pull data points on individuals data footprints for what has been designated to bridge peers for team cohesion. So, in a vast landscape the way to create teams utilising data to create ideal working environments has been ongoing for some time now. But as with many modern systems, any ethical baseline to the utilisation of data is yet to be established. And data is always from fixed points in time, unless reiteratively calibrated with accuracy. Data footprints are always past events, past aspects of a human being. However, that does not matter for controlling or utilizing human capital or the evolution of a person or society- it only matters for how productive a person can be.
I digress.
How does this relate to simulation theory, well the fact there are now scores of people who believe our earth and world to be a simulation itself, is a concern.

Either there is a detachment from nature or the earth occurring from numerous reasons, or maybe too many people’s productivity is being determined by a monotony in human capital management software. One can then look at Oracle corp, with an employee base of only 160,000 and a CEO with a net worth of 100+ billion. A system created through data mining humans with skills that can be used for particular clients and storing that data in a cloud based server, time capsuled in effect.
How these systems in play then perpetuate into something that creates a huge disparity between wealth, and how do such systems exacerbate the powerplays between economic ranks?
What confirmation biases are enforced through the points of familiarity chosen to build teams? Who has the power to determine how humans can be maximized as human capital and also whether the ways they are maximized for productivity is something that will evolve the human consciousness or in effect stunt it through echo chambers of human experience mirrored in a way to keep them stuck in a cycle of doing not being.
When we factor in the algorithms used in HR and data collation to the extent of voice capture of key words, images that can be used as points of familiarity, trauma. The types of cesspools that can be created in the corporate empires of the world. The traits that can be pulled from people for better or worse. And the fact the data is cloud based.
Then there are the numerous people who spend so long building simulations of real world events on their computers only to enter the real world itself with an potential for inherent confirmation bias of what they experience through how they are managed because their skills dictate them to be human capital of a particular expertise, that a particular corporation may want to continue to capitalize on.
So what is the solution?
When we have millions of people without access to electricity, and the disparity of human experience becoming ever so fragmented, yet the data we all upload to feel like we are worthy of a stage, have a voice, some attention in the digital realm.
And all that data is stored with energy reserves that could cater to basic human services. We wonder what the direction of the world may be, how the human experience may continue to fragment into something less unified, more so than it already is.
We can look to Texas to review their morals and how it has impacted the world of tech and the “intelligence” made from mass data sets. HPE data centres and Oracle both reside there. We can look at cultural morals of say white south african males with mining the earth deep in their bones their cultural shift of hunting and mining has been seeing the ore of human intelligence and finding ways to capture that and metaphysically mine that in a form of modern day slavery.
How those of all cultural heritage have their own history of how they enslave others, the Americas in its entirety for instance.
Which resulted in the madness of a culture obsessed with freedom of action without morality in mind to counter it. Resulting in the corporate empires we see today. With texans, french and sth africans at the top due to their inherent slaver morals.
How do we create equality in access to freedom of choice through adequate baselines of the human experience when so much of the digital realm now functions for artificial money making and how communism has only been linked to economic growth as a means for equity instead of environmental health so all beings may have freedom to live from the land itself.
So we can start to catalogue the systems of the world that maintain order, the systems of the world that distract and the systems of the world that only financially benefit the few while reaping the earth with no sustainability in sight.
We can see the ports with ongoing power through climate change such as Hambantoto and the shipping routes that will ultimately have to change.
The many data centers of the world and their environmental footprint and what they maintain will also come into question.
