    Also explains why the world is so fucked up and how fascism can take. Also explains why there so many assholes in the world. Most people at some point play evil when they played Sims. Weather it was the simple version and you cause tornadoes to tear through your city. Our the more modern versions. I seen clips were players would lock a character in a doorless room. Or take away the ladder in the pool and the character would drown.

    There other examples but it maybe why Trump is so popular in America and why so many people that actually want the world to burn and enjoy fucking up the environment.

    Some things I think about occasionally. So should you.

      Nah I don’t think so. What people do in a simulation can approximate what they’d do in real life with no consequences but in real life there are always consequences. And most people need to see themselves as the hero in their own story so they won’t do things that they perceive as evil.

      It seems to me that most individual people think they are right in whatever they’re doing. Including voting for Trump, being hateful, etc.
