Maybe this is just a program and in order for me to "win" the game I have to fix the world?? Nah... It seems like the deeper I think about it, the deeper it gets and the more factors are involved. Hell, I can't prove that I'm conscious. I can't prove that I'm anything more than a computer program, except to myself.

Maybe we can't even prove we exist to ourselves. As I mentioned before I think it's very possible that we can't prove what it means "to exist", it's something beyond what we are capable of perceiving.
