A Theory...

Think for a moment about the world as it is from your perspective...

It is a first-person view.

It is one where you cannot look at your own face, or your own back.

The laws of physics and thermodynamics somehow always work, constantly, as long as we can tell.

We sometimes go into overload, and need to shut down for a while.

We can only think about so much at a time, and then we need to dream and let the unneeded data fly away.

We are only as good as our own generation, and eventually a new generation comes along that seems to be able to use all the new things that we created, even though we can't use them as well.

We are like computers. We are like characters in a video game. We sometimes die and reincarnate, like a respawning of a character. We have various skills and abilities that all improve in sudden breakthroughs, like a character levelling their skills. We have wonders as to what we're supposed to be doing, and when things seem serendipitously laid out for us, it's as if the level we're playing is designed well, or perhaps we're going in the right direction.

So here's the real theory...

We're just playing a game.

We're enjoying this simulated world, as immortal beings that inhabit creatures and experience things through their perspective. But these things actually are living bodies. an "artificial" intelligence inhabits their bodies if they are not hosts. But usually people are able to inhabit children and give them their personality. The problem is that we lose ourselves in this place, and need to discover who we are.

I can't give any advice on that. I can't say that this has any unique moral implications.

But I can say that I think we are really something greater, if not even the very artificial intelligence that inhabits all things, and which is given the illusion of individuality.

Just make sure you request more and more brain power and ease of life passage. I think that no matter what the situation, the squeakiest wheel gets the most oil.
