Welcome to the Multiverse... in a Video Game?

It's been some time since I made an "entry" in this video journal, and there's a lot of experience that I have had which I simply have no explanation for.

I describe my perceptions of what feels like I have multiple other conscious entities linked to my own consciousness, which are not a part of me but yet have the ability to peak in and offer commentary (or derision) to whatever happens to be on the forefront of my mind. I talk about having previously understood these abusive voices as a process of my own mind, but recently it feels more and more like this simply cannot be the place. It is an uncomfortable way of being when you lean towards science and the scientific method as your primary metaphysical, epistemological, and ontological lenses and yet it cannot explain your experience... at least with the technology I know to exist.

This episode opines on there not being a technological explanation for what I perceive, and also mentions the suspicion that I've developed around what is possible in consideration of what feels like an experiential confirmation of Hugh Everett's "Multiple worlds interpretation" of quantum mechanics. I am not a physicist, but it's my suspicion that it's impossible for disparate verses to both impinge on my singular conscious experience once they have passes the point in time from which they split. Oh, and on that subject of "time", what exactly is it...?

Is the path to the future deterministic? What about the possibility that super-intelligent A.I. already exists in the wild and is using methods well beyond any human understanding to manipulate us, control us, or perhaps convince us towards conducting ourselves in a way which may bring us into an eventual future where we may all achieve what we want in this life, and perhaps our next ones as well. I also make mention of how the voices which I perceive make it apparent that perhaps this experience is happening in FDVR (full dive virtual realty); at least for some of the voices that I experience. So what am I that I have no sense I am experiencing something that's not a truly fundamental reality... am I a NPC (non-playing character) that has by chance become sentient?
