Elon Musk: We are living in a computer simulation
Independent - June 2, 2016
As we enter the realms of science and pseudoscience, we realize that the quest (mission) is, and always has been, to figure out (remember) who we are and why we are here. Each of us is programmed to discover that truth in our own way. The age of technology was set in motion in the consciousness grids to help souls figure it out.

Humor: Evidence That Elon Musk Is an Alien Gizmodo - June 2, 2016
If you're like me you've watched Person of Interest over the last five seasons having embraced the experience and are saddened to see it come to an end ... yet anxious to see how it all turns out before it Fades to Black. "Person of Interest" hinges on government conspiracies and corruption mirroring the simulation of our reality. There's surveillance of citizens, murder and mayhem as A.I.s run the world/simulation/hologram. Man versus machine - who determines the final outcome? The answer is the creators.
"The Day the World Went Away" was the show's 100th episode - and one of its most galvanizing. From the start we see Harold the Machine's creator (Michael Emerson) and Root the Machine's analog interface (Amy Acker) struggling with their philosophies and the future of the Machine or A.I. I actually went back to their intriguing dialogue at the beginning of the episode after watching the end. For me it's one of those episodes that I save and will watch over and over.
This was an adrenaline filled hour and a program game changer. Best of all was the stellar performance by Michael Emerson as he speaks to Samaritan (A.I.) at the end. He's been lost over the past year believing himself to be a man of principles now facing the consequences of his actions. Harold and his machine are about to go on the offensive as he gives her the freedom to make her own decisions. The death of Harold's friends becomes the catalyst for his transition into what remains for the final three episodes. Killed last night were Elias - yes we can love a Mafia boss from Brooklyn - and Root who "ascends" becoming the voice of Harold's machine and her namesake.
My favorite scene (36 minutes) - was Root explaining to Harold that we are all part of a simulation. In a chase scene with the bad guys Root turns to Harold and says, "The real world is essentially a simulation. Even if we're not real, we represent a dynamic - a tiny finger tracing a line in the infinite ..."
