    The purpose is to observe our behavior and how we react to stimuli. And it’s not that it’s “correct”, it’s just that it requires no intervention. If it’s “real”, then it was started by an outside force and is being observed like a Petri dish amongst other simulations.

      Do “they” ever intervene or do you think its strictly regulated, like double-blind or whatever?

      Like do you think they actually do or can pick favorites (protagonists/main characters) or is it way more sterile?

        If it’s truly meant as a simulation, then intervening in any way would go against the purpose of the simulation.

        Just think about how we run our simulations. We give the computer parameters about the “real” world because we’re interested in the results. If our entire world is a simulation, amongst other simulations, then intervening would ruin the simulation.
