Listen while you workout, cook, or commute.
Do we live in a simulation? You hear Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about reality being an information field of zeros and ones. About whether we’re in base level reality or just another layer in an infinite stack.
But the more interesting question isn’t whether it’s a simulation. It’s what kind of simulation.
Two Types of Simulation
The technological version says reality is a data experiment. Some higher reality created ours to run models, test outcomes, extract information. We’re just cogs in their machine learning process.
The consciousness version says something different. In this model, reality is a probability wave. Your consciousness moves through potential realities, collapsing possibilities into experience based on what you believe and feel.
The first version puts you at the mercy of some external programmer. The second puts you in the driver’s seat.
The Entropy Reduction Engine
Physicist Tom Campbell spent decades studying consciousness. His conclusion: if this is a simulation, it’s designed to reduce entropy.
Entropy is chaos. Breakdown. Things falling apart.
When you’re aligned with love and truth, things come together. Relationships form. Ideas connect. Energy flows where it needs to go.
When you’re aligned with destruction (even just self-destruction), everything starts breaking down. Health deteriorates. Connections erode. The system literally starts to lag.
If reality is a consciousness simulation, it’s programmed to reward entropy reduction. Nodes in the network that reduce chaos get elevated. Those that create chaos eventually get removed.
Why Love Wins
This explains something that otherwise sounds like wishful thinking: why being aligned with love actually works.
It’s not magic. It’s efficiency. Love creates connection. Connection creates coherence. Coherence allows information to process faster.
The people who live longest aren’t necessarily the healthiest eaters. Studies of centenarians keep finding the same thing: community, purpose, service. These are entropy reducers.
The simulation rewards them with more time because they’re making the system run better.
The System Administrator
In this model, what people call intuition, higher self, or even angels is just the system administrator of the consciousness simulation.
Its job is to raise the whole system’s frequency. The higher the frequency, the better it processes information.
When you get quiet enough to receive, you’re basically downloading optimization instructions. What action would reduce entropy most effectively? What’s the next step that creates more coherence?
Joseph in the Bible went from a well to slavery to prison to second-in-command of Egypt. At every stop, he just asked: what’s the most aligned thing I can do here? And he kept getting called up.
The Quest Box
Think of it like a video game. A quest pops up. You can accept it or ignore it.
That business idea you had? Quest. That nudge to reach out to someone? Quest. That knowing about what you should do next that you keep pushing away? Quest.
The simulation needs people to walk these paths. If you don’t, someone else will. The idea gets handed to the next person until someone says yes.
This is why you sometimes see your exact idea show up in the world six months after you dismissed it. The quest didn’t disappear. You just declined it.
This is the lens the Bible is meant to be read through.

Playing the Game
Whether or not we’re in a simulation, the framework is useful.
Ask yourself: is what I’m doing creating entropy or reducing it? Am I building or destroying? Am I creating more chaos or more coherence?
Reality seems to have a preference. You can fight it and watch everything break down. Or you can align with it and watch things start to work.
Maybe we’re in a simulation. Maybe we’re not. Either way, entropy reduction seems to be the winning strategy.
