THE TRUTH
The human race was wiped out in 532 BC by a mass extinction event.
In a galaxy far far away, an alien species was curious to see what would happen had the human race survived. So, on one of their super computers, they set up a virtual Earth. That's right - you, me, everyone, is a virtual human. We all interact with each other and we interact with our perfectly programmed virtual environment. All of our senses are virtual, programmed down to the very last detail.
Some of you will take that as bad news. I don't know why. Does it really matter whether you are physical or virtual? Had you not have learned of all of this, you would have gone on with your (virtual) life, none the wiser.
But there is definite bad news. The aliens have firmly concluded that we are unsustainably consuming our virtual Earth, and because it has been going on for so long, that the supposed survival instinct in humans is clearly flawed. Personally, I thought they would have learned that long ago from past observation of Easter Island.
Anyhow, we are now considered by the aliens to be a 'dead end' species. The super computer that hosts virtual Earth can be put to a more productive use. The only thing that is stopping the 'plug being pulled' right now is an alien concern. The extremely high rate at which we are consuming our virtual Earth suggests to the aliens that we virtual humans know that our Earth is virtual and thus can be easily recreated. This is a major concern for the aliens, because such knowledge could only have been gained if we virtual humans had hacked through the virtual layer into the physical host - an extremely serious security breach.
So, how do I know all this? Never underestimate the ability of a professional hacker (or a compulsive liar).
