Katy Perry thinks the world is a video game.
The pop superstar studied simulation theory, which proposes that all of existence is a simulated reality like a computer simulation, an idea that is explored in the sci-fi film series “The Matrix.”
Katy, 37, said: “I have some weird thoughts that I have. I’m into simulation theory, I’m into NPCs. Like my brother is a big gamer and he loves Crypto and he was watching the X Games of video games, and it was literally video gamers on their computers with their fancy chairs playing FIFA football, and there was a stadium full of people watching these people play, it was their avatars Isn’t that what’s happening with us? Isn’t someone potentially playing with us?” And we’re looking to play another game. So the metaverse is the next dimension of our reality? I do not know.
“NPC stands for non-player character, people who don’t actively participate in life. I think that might be a sociopathic way of explaining it, but on a more esoteric spiritual level, it’s people who miss of consciousness.
“I mean, we’re all just stars bound to a body.
“And I don’t even smoke weed! I’m not even allowed to smoke. I know it feels like I’m micro-dosing now. It’s pretty intense trying to process this information. “
Katy was raised as a Pentecostal Christian by her pastor parents, but now she does not believe in organized religion, and in addition to her interest in simulation theory, she has also adopted some of her fiancé Orlando’s Buddhist beliefs. Bloom.
The ‘Roar’ singer – who has two-year-old daughter Daisy Dove with the British actor – told the ‘SmartLess’ podcast: “I was brought up in a very Christian home, but they call it Born Again Christians it’s very emotional and new wave it’s not like catholic it’s more radical christian I grew up listening to gospel music and christian music and there’s a whole world of Christian music out there that has its own kind of Grammys, that’s all.
“I don’t believe the way I was raised. Organized religion isn’t necessarily for me, I’m a great seeker. Orlando is a devout Buddhist and he chants every morning most of the time. So I’m a bit more of his philosophy or Buddhist philosophy. In fact, I’m just a researcher of it all. From mysticism to mathematics to geometry and physics, a lot of science. I’m sure there’s will finally have something.
