I'm not trying to start a religion discussion but
What if there is a god of some sort, and he is actually a director and we are like a show for a bunch of aliens somewhere? Some scientists say there are multiple universes where there a probably different you's. Just like in Marvel, you have various spider-man. They all have some common similarities in their lives. Maybe IRL, what happens to your variants are the opposite of what you are doing.. maybe all the things you have dreamed about yourself to be is just you having an unknown psychic moment where you are actually visioning what your variant is doing.
Like, when you are jacking off imagining sex with a hot girl, you are actually psychically linking yourself to your variant who is banging a real attractive female. So stop jacking off. Even though you are probably the ugly version of your variant, just knwo there is an horrid version of the woman he is with too who is in the same universe you are, find her and give them aliens a reason to watch you.
