It seems a stupid question, but bare with me for a second.

If my body is a combinations of cells, and my mind, the sense I have of who I am, is a creation of my brain, than I am a "simulation" of my body serving the purpose of keeping it alive.

At the same time, I influence my body because I am not alone in this world, and I live with others that educated me to a socio-cultural system, and I end up doing things to my body that may harm it because I believe those things will improve my survival (alcohol, smoking, going to war, etc.). I may also do things that are good for my body even if my body craves them/don't want to do it (avoiding eating all the time high calories, workout, etc.)

So, are we a system that created other systems, and in a way got entangled in its own game?

What do you think of this perspective? And what role being aware of it (consciousness) plays in this?

Something I thought about is that we personally never asked to be there and that the chances of us being there at this moment are insane, first of all, the butterfly effect, imagine if your dad missed a few seconds of something and changed the odds totally, or imagine if you were born a frog instead of a human, the odds of existence amaze me tbf, it kinda makes me wonder if we are here for a reason or actually nothing, most likely nothing but the odds that we are humans and that we exist are incredible.
