It seems that there are some billionaires who feel that we are living in a computer simulation. They feel that we are not living in the real world and that we are all being controlled one way or another. There was news that popped out in the year 2016 wherein billionaires were trying to fund their escape from this matrix.
We have no way of knowing how true this actually is. There are some people who believe this and are trying to look more into it. Only time will tell if we are actually being controlled. Some scientists are still working on it if in case we are actually in a computer simulation.
