I also support the being the only player in it bit. But more in the sense that we're each our own pocket universe and the universe creates probabilities for everyone outside of you. The people of course would genuinely exist in their own dimensions, and when you interact with them it would affect their home dimensions. It's a lot to type and would really make no sense unless broken down. I'd be better at talking ab it. But in short I do believe people are real but not real at the same time.

I think I get it, Idealism, right? We all live in our mental bubble, but these mental bubbles can interact with other mental bubbles, is that what you mean? I mean scientifically it's already true that you've only ever perceived the data that your brain interprets from your senses. Idealism goes even further than that and states that there's only the data stream without the physical world (And there is no brain either).

These" theories" are indeed fascinating but we have to be honest with ourselves, they're also unfalsifiable.

Yeah, the mental bubble idea fits perfect. I feel like a brain is necessary for my beliefs system tho, like, I think each of us is just basically AI running around as self contained computer systems, living life and helping the system find what is and isn't beneficial for a future society. And based on what we do in life the system will just drop us into another simulation that lends to either mending dangerous or hindering behaviors or advance us into a more advanced simulation where we advance further into the future. Basically "traveling back or forward through time to tame and cull certain flawed behaviors.

More or less we are in a permanent state of either moving forward or backwards based on our life choices.
