“Is the fact that I don’t even like coffee written into my program? And my hangover yesterday, when I became a tequila sponge, was that simulated too? If a program can feel desire, can love, and can be hurt, what are the algorithms for desire, love, and pain? Am I programmed to be angry when I realize I’m a program? Do I have free will, despite all this? Is everything planned, programmed, and inevitable? What dose of chaos is included in the simulation? Is there even any chaos? Is there no way of proving that, actually no, phew, we’re not in a simulation?”
