Every two weeks or so, some scientific journal publishes a new article that implies our reality might just be a computer simulation or a game on some galactic laptop.
Increasingly, those articles coincide with the latest news of some politician getting caught performing soft porn during a theater production of "Beetlejuice," or an article about the nuclear threat from Russia, now bolstered by an alliance with North Korea. Meanwhile, humans seem to be "mutilating" the tree of life, according to some scientists, while climate change is threatening extinction.
