Ontological consciousness is insurmountable. If an infinite or near infinite number of possibilities exist and are managed by reality, then there is inherently no point to anything, even if it was a simulation created with intent. And the fact that it's still running on, and on, and on, and on, and on to our perception is almost a form on ontological torture, as nothing is properly explained to us. How to properly create and run civilization is never shown to us. We exist in a perpetual state of endless warfare, poverty, and competition, and being run by literally the most vile simulants one could imagine. The paradox of power is that those who seek it are universally corrupt, either in the end or from the start. The human condition is the primary barrier to a truly utopian existence. If it becomes tangibly known that we are in fact, completely artificial beings that were made with no specific point or intention other than to exist and experience, all of our suffering is literally for nothing, there is no reward, no utopia waiting for us, and we have so far perpetually failed to build a utopia here as well, thus condemning our ontology to one which is inherently intertwined with what should be, needless suffering and ignorance. If there were actually a race of beings out there, either outside of the sim or inside of it, that had their shit together and already achieved a permanent utopia, where the fuck are they? It is always the burden on the more intelligent and civilized creature to protect and guide and teach the younger ones, why has no one taken the mantle, perhaps because there is none at all, or none who can, or otherwise there are but they refuse to intervene. Either way the end result is this planet being a shithole, the same shithole it was 5,000 years ago, 100,000 years ago, and 5,000 years from now and 100,000 years from now, it doesn't matter in a sim. Without an end game, an end evolution, all this suffering will have been for nothing.
