So many people have proposed we're simulated...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

Now why would such an extremely advanced civilization / collective
want to simulate us? Is this an unanswered question?

Certainly they have long since
- solved biology, live forever, down/up load their brains against trauma
- solved life and mobility throughout their universe
- lost and forgotten their prehistory
- etc

They could sim anything they want. So why sim us?

Because something happened to them, something very big, something
serious and existentially threatening. And now they're *desperately*
trying to learn about death, life, humanity, the individual... something
they lost but is still encoded in them just enough to let them think of
making the sim...
