We live in a simulation

 Our world is real as can be and we don't live in a computer simulation, yet our society is simulated.

Adam Smith said that the butcher and baker, act in self interest, and provide you with food, and their behaviour is similar with altruism.

Machiavelli recommended to the rulers to act as they are good people.

Sales people act that they care and that they are glad to see you.

Chat bots act as their are human.

But does it really matter if the simulation is convincing ?

Do we care of the feeling of salesman if he is polite wit us and send us what we need?

Do we care about the sincerity of the politician if he behaves as he should ?

Do we care if our spouse doesn't love us anymore if the behaviour doesn't change ?

If we need a low resolution reality, simulation is enough.

Thinking is negative, acting is positive

 Our mind is 3 times more sensitive to bad things.

Look at the news. Read all the philosophers and all are doom and gloom

On the other hand, making something is positive, a sculpture, a painting, cleaning repairing have intrinsic positive value for our mind.

Business people who are first and foremost doers, are optimistic. Four out of five business fail, yet, they jump ahead and risk all.

To compensate negative thinking of the mind you must do something.

To avoid doing wrong things you must think first and be negative
