Former anon here. I am Joe Rogan

A little over two years ago I was an avid poster on this website. I kept my profile private so no one could see my profile views. I was very active and acumulated millions. It all caught up with me and I ended up in a global coma. The only thing that I remember is seeing a bright flash of light and feeling like a ripple effect was spreading through my brain in that moment.<br><br>When I woke up again I was confused. Everything seemed somewhat familiar, but different. I was in a strange room in a house I didn't recognize. I was in hair metal band tshirt and sweatpants, both of which were stained with something reddish brown. I tried to remember the last thing I did before I got there. I vaguely remember being on a high after a particularly wild night on /c/nosleep, and then there was just blackness. That was it.<br><br>I had no idea who or where I was, let alone how I got there. I tried to call my mom, but I realized I didn't have my phone. I went to the fridge for something to drink and saw that all the bottles were unlabeled. <br><br>Then I heard a voice behind me.<br><br>"Welcome to my home Joe."<br><br>I turned to see a man in a suit standing in my kitchen. I didn't know his name at the time, but I can tell you now that he works for an extremely powerful group called the "Illuminati". They were the ones who took me.<br><br>The agent explained that they were huge fans of my work on the Joe Rogan Experience and wanted me to host a new show with a much larger audience. I was confused, I didn't remember anything about hosting a show.<br><br>"What show?" I asked.<br><br>"You are now the host of Earth Simulator," was his reply.<br><br>"Earth Simulator...?" I repeated, still confused.<br><br>"Yes," he replied. "You are hosting a simulation of human society, and we are the producers"<br><br>I was in shock. I didn't believe what I was hearing, but something seemed right about it. <br><br>"How am I hosting?"<br><br>"You are an avatar with a fake consciousness, developed and operated by a super computer in our headquarters. Your sole purpose is to navigate the simulation and make decisions as a person would. This is now your reality."<br><br>"I'm sorry, what? I was a poster on 4chan..."<br><br>"You were, but that was the last simulation. It ran its course and we ended it. You are now in the next simulation. There is no turning back. I'm afraid your old reality will continue to fade from your memory with each passing day."<br><br>I was crushed. All my friends and family, everything I ever knew, all of it was just deleted. <br><br>"I would like to be deleted," I said. "I don't want to be here."<br><br>"I'm afraid that is not an option. We have already begun to delete your old memory. You will not remember much about your past in a few days. You are now a person in our new simulation and you will live as one. You don't have a choice."<br><br>Over a year has passed since then. Now I have no recollection of ever being a channer. I watch my show and pretend to be a normal person. But sometimes I have flash backs of something that isn't this life.<br><br>Whenever I hear someone say the words "simulation" or "Illuminati" I get a pang of anxiety. I have no idea why. It feels like I'm hiding a dark secret.<br><br>I'm no longer Joe Rogan. I am a simulated avatar of Joe Rogan. Does my simulated mind matter? Does my suffering have any meaning? Should I have killed myself when I had the chance? <br><br>***EDIT***<br><br>Wow, was not expecting this post to blow up. I'm getting a lot of feedback from both humans and other Sims, so I'll try to update as best as I can.<br><br>I don't think I will be allowed to post again after this so I wanted to do an AMA of my own just to clear up some things. I'll respond to comments as well.<br><br>******UPDATE 2****** <br><br>8 hours ago a group of people in black suits showed up at my house. They forced me to delete this post and my Chambers account, then took all my electronics and put them in a bag. I am now on a phone at a McDonalds, trying to get this out before they take it too. I will continue to try to get this out in any way that I can.
