I was once a cacti collector. Had hundreds of specimens from all over the world. I was searching for a particular south american cactus and stopped in at a large commercial greenhouse to see what cacti they had. When I walked in, a young man who worked there, who apparently had Down's Syndrome or something similar, came up and motioned me to follow him. We wound our way to the very back of the huge facility where the cacti were and he excitedly pointed to a single specimen of the species I was searching for. I never told him what I was looking for nor could he speak clearly. Mind. Blown.

Whoever is running the simulation must’ve gotten bored around the end of 2019, now they’re just messing with us…

"If you can't tell the difference, does it matter?" Westworld

Whoever's playing me needs to seriously up their game!

This is exactly what the simulation would want me to believe

I'm okay with being a battery to a machine. Who ever wrote the code for the taste of medium-rare steak did a damn good job.

The only reason I can’t believe I’m in a simulation is because I can’t understand why anyone would want to see me in my room eating Doritos and watching cat videos all day

I had an out of body experience while I was conscious. I was at work, and my spirit jumped out of my body. I could see myself working. And then in an instant, I was back in my body. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced. It only happened once.

when i saw "octonion" i instantly thought 8 sided onion. tf is wrong w me

This was SO interesting! My friend Geneva and I experienced a glitch TOGETHER! Geneva was washing dishes and I had my little pup on top of the kitchen island counter putting a belly band (male doggie diaper) on the little fellow. Geneva and I were in typical conversation. Without warning the entire vision of my kitchen shook and blurred like video static. Suddenly my hands were holding nothing but air. Geneva didn’t perceive the blur. In her words, Bentley (with belly band) just vanished from the counter and appeared standing happily on the floor without the belly band! The belly band was found back in the closet where I kept them. I was ecstatic! I felt I was special to experience this unique oddity with a witness. I’ll never forget Geneva’s big eyes and blanched white face. She was terrified! When I suggested that we needed to research our shared experience, she said she never wanted to think or talk about it again. I was so disappointed! The same experience with 2 different reactions...

The programmer needs to program me a few million pounds in my bank. 😂

I'm about 20 videos in now and am super pumped to have found you! This one is just insane man🤯 Huge fan, I've been telling folks about you, thanks Joe you're killing it!

Once me and my then boyfriend were chatting on phone.. I was drawing a flower on my text book and my bf was only semi awake while speaking to me . He said "whats up with the flower drawing" I was shocked.. we were 2000 km away there was absolutely no way he could have known that I am doodling a flower on my text book. So my voice naturally shot up as i said "what did you just say" that was enough to wake him up and he has no recollection of saying what he said

Best argument I've heard against simulation hypothesis: irrational numbers. If we ever find a termination to an irrational number, then statistically we probably live in a simulation. However, as long as irrational numbers continue to go on forever with no repeating pattern, on irrational number would consume an infinite amount of bits in the simulation programming. Thought that was a clever explanation I would never have come up with.

Hope we are living in a simulation, that way I can see my life stats at the end, like GTA

The weirdest thing for me is that there is a shortest period of time where we can't measure anything shorter (plank time) and also a shortest length were nothing can be shorter (plank length). This could totally be the pixel size and refresh rate of our simulation.

For years I kept visiting a place in my dreams. This was the backyard of a house which was built on the side of a hill. The back yard was slanted down the hill and ended with a stream running across it. This dream I repeated many times until one day I met a girl who I went to school with and I gave her a drive home. On reaching her home she told me about her unusual backyard which she proceeded to show me. It turned out that was the place I was visiting over the years. After this I never dreamed about this place again.

So maybe my credit card debt is just a simulation and I don't really have to pay it back?

Could you please do a video on "Out of Place Artifacts" ?

I had plenty of paranormal experiences in my life. When I was in the 4th grade, i visited a high school with my uncle for cub scouts. I stepped outside and a UFO came down, looked at me in a 45 degree angle and hovered there for a while before disappearing before my friends came outside. I also tend to see things that I can’t explain like a face in a group of trees, things falling over by themselves, voices that can’t be explain, and seeing shadow people before something bad happens. I also don’t dream, but when I do those dreams show a depiction of reality in a different setting. All of which sounds crazy, I know but its been through out my life and I feel like there’s more then just us in this world. I believe that as humans we also tend to go through multi parallel universes that we are unaware of until we realize something has changed. Like knowing that you put a pen in a specific spot at a specific time and when you go back to get it, it isn’t there but in a different spot.

One of the first really good science ranters I've seen on KZfaq...

I'm a 14 yearold autistic kid and for my entire life I have had a lot of trouble with social cues but lately I've been finding patterns. in what seems like utter chaos my brain will extend the situation to all of the possible endings by using what I know about the person's social patterns like what they will respond sarcastically to. my adhd speeds up the process by hyper focusing on patterns and alot of those patterns line up with how I decided the conversation would go it's like the people around me are all coded to have certain responses and sometimes I feel like my brain is hardwired to carryout certain commands

Here's something that happened to me...here goes... I was watching a movie with my husband that I had already seen twice. I didn't realize it before deciding to watch it again, but while we were watching it, I kept waiting for a specific scene in the movie that I wanted him to see. We got through the entire thing with no sign of the scene PLUS the movie had a completely different ending then when I'd previously seen it. I didn't think anything of it at the time figuring maybe there was an alternate ending and they just played that version culminating in the scene that I'd looked for, being edited out to support the ending. To no avail, my husband and I looked everywhere on the internet, to find the answer. Nothing. The next day I wanted to talk to my friends about what I'd experienced and ask if they'd seen the movie, so I planned to say something when we met to have lunch. As I started to try to describe what had happened I found myself unable to remember the movie that this was all about!!! It was like I could feel the men memory still there but there was something blocking it or surrounding it in my brain and wouldn't let me gain access no matter how hard I tried. I called my husband to ask him what movie it was and he couldn't remember either!!! I thought, "there is no way in hell this is happening!! I'll just look on my browser history to check it out and it will be solved." It was then and there that I first started realizing that there is something strange going on. This was almost nine year's ago now. The day was July 22nd my friend Julie's bday we were out celebrating at the time. I still try to remember the movie and the scene it is that has somehow escaped my mind. Til this day there's been absolutely no sign that I'll ever recall it...but I know that I'm not a crazy person. * IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR TO ANYONE IN A WAY THAT A CERTAIN MOVIE HAS A MISSING SCENE THAT BEFORE WHEN YOU WATCHED IT WAS ALWAYS THERE AND AN ENDING DIFFERENT THAN U REMEMBER WITHOUT IT BEING A MOVIE WITH ALTERNATE ENDING LIKE THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT PLZ TELL ME WHAT MOVIE IT IS.*

Wouldnt it be hilarious if the second someone found proof of the simulation hypothesis a giant message in the sky would appear that said :"Congratulations On Clearing The Game" and scientists all over the world would shout gg ez ;P

"I'll take both pills! *You got anymore??* *_What's in your pockets?"_*

“They’re becoming self-aware”

I am rarely caught of guard with a hearty laugh like when I watch your videos! Thanks for the knowledge and for the laughs...both needed more than ever :) Viewer from Egypt

I always wondered what would happen if Neo was a pill head and took both pills at once

Ahh here for my daily dose of an existential crisis! FEELS GREAT!

This has always been one of my favorite new science theories! Great job on the channel and this vid.

this is my favorite episode of yours! such a mind-bender.

I don't know about glitches in a proverbial matrix but I have witnessed a very disturbing event. When I was 19 a friend of mine and I were at a bar unwinding after work. We left a bar (we were underage but my friend's aunt owns the bar), and on our way home the car quits. The transmission was on it's way out for a while at that point, so we weren't surprised. We are in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but woods on this country road for as far as we could tell. We start walking. The only reason we aren't bummed out or pissed off was because we were dedicated stoners at the time and had a readily available stash on us. So we walk for hours until an van pulls up to us. A guy offers us a ride to his destination and the use of a phone when we get there. We agree and ride to this farm manor where the locals were having a party. There were like 40 or 50 people here and having a gold ole country time. We popped some cold ones and just shot the shit all night and even forgot to make our call for a ride. We both end up passing out. When we woke up, we were in a field. Not 30 feet away was the manor house but it was decrepit. I mean like not been lived in or worked on in decades decrepit. My friend is freaking out like dude I had the weirdest dream about that house. It could not have been his dream unless I suddenly had become telepathic in my sleep and read his mind. I was there too. All the stuff he was talking about matched my memories of the party. We remembered doing the sane stuff. So we walk around the place, determined to find some rational answer. Not only did we fail miserably, but the rabbit hole got deeper. We found a graveyard out back and some of the names of the people we had been introduced to at the party was on the headstones. We also found a memorial thing which told the story of an infuriated man who, angry that his wife had left him for another man, had driven to a party at that house and shot the ex wife, her new man, and many of the friends and family before killing himself. We flip out. Eventually we get to another house and the old lady there told us more of the story while we waited for a ride we called for using her phone. She was a little girl when it had happened almost 70 years prior. She described the people we met in detail. A guy with a limp, a woman who couldn't talk much because of a disease she had had, a guy who told jokes to make a sailor blush, and more. And she described the shooter. The description was a perfect match to the guy who had given us a ride to the party in the first place. I do not much believe in ooga booga stuff and I am not saying this experience is any one thing or another. But we both distinctly experienced it and neither of us can explain it. Before anyone chocks the whole thing up to very good weed, he had long depleted our supply and sobered up in the long miserable walk before the guy pulled up in the van. I really really really wish the answer were something as simple and normal as that.

It's crazy you mentioned some of the dreams. I had this happen one time. I had a dream about my ex-wife cheating on me. I had seen this guy one time in a crowded restraunt that she worked at and just had this overwhelming feeling that he was a threat somehow. Never seen or met him before and he wasn't even her customer so I couldn't explain it. Then a couple weeks later she introduced him at a bar and I just knew I didn't like him at all for no good reason at all. Then after a week or 2 I had a dream that I caught her with him at another bar. Now this is the really crazy part. In my dream they were in a bar I had never been in before but the layout was somehow familiar and it was named a bar that we normally went to. Then I woke up and noticed she had been off work for over 2 hours and still hadn't made it home. So I called her job and they told me she left with a co worker and went to the bar that I knew the name of in my dream. Well this kinda freaked me out so I went to that bar to see if she was there but it was closed for the night. On my way back home I took a different route and saw this new bar that had just reopened and her friends car was there so I walked in and this place was exactly like the one in my dream all the way to the placement of the restrooms the people that were there everything. Her and this guy I dreamt about were even at the same pool table that I saw in the dream. She kept telling me I was overreacting she couldn't understand why it had bothered me so much but after a week she ended up leaving me and went to a different state with the same guy. I don't know. Maybe by my reaction I actually willed things into reality but never could shake how strange the whole thing was

Talking of 'glitches in the Matrix'... Some years ago, when I lived in an old (18th Century) house in London, which was originally part of a grand estate from which the main house had long since been demolished, I experienced an inexplicable event which, to this day, I'm at a loss to explain. The house often felt strange and unnerving, even during the day. I had an electric hand mixer in a cupboard, in the kitchen, which would have originally been situated in an old wash-house which was used as the estate laundry. The mixer was fairly new and had performed flawlessly since I purchased it. One day I took the mixer out of the cupboard, where it had been since its previous unremarkable use. When I attempted to insert the removable whisk attachments into their sockets on the base of the device only one would fit as the second one couldn't be inserted without fouling the first. I tried swapping the attachments, putting both in either place and rotating both of them multiple times without success. Eventually, I concluded that the only way to remedy the situation was to dismantle the mixer and inspect the mechanism. I am an engineer, so am familiar with such simple mechanisms and the types of material used in their manufacture. On removing the cover of the mixer it was evident that there was nothing broken or damaged that would explain the fault. I soon concluded that the only way to fix the problem was to remove a metal plate holding the two nylon rotating gears (into which the attachments were inserted) in place and rotate one of them to enable the whisk attachments to line up once more. I inspected the two nylon gears carefully and there were no signs of either of them having skipped in the slightest. The metal spindle of the motor, which had been machined into a driving worm gear was, similarly, entirely intact. The backlash of the gears was minimal and with the metal retaining bracket in place there was no conceivable way either of the nylon gears could have moved independently without significant damage, which was not the case. From that day onward the mixer has worked flawlessly, as it did before this incident, and I am at a loss to explain how it happened.

My uncle had a recurring dream of this shadowy figure that crawled through his window and stared at him at the end of his bed when he was a young teenager. He would wake up terrified in a mad sweat and the man was gone. This happened every night for months. My grandparents eventually called a priest in to cast out evil spirits and bless the home. The dream still continued. Finally one night before bed my uncle drew a portrait of the man in as best detail as he could, he's a very good artist, to see if anyone would recognize him. He went to bed after drawing it that night and fell into the most peaceful sleep. He woke up for the first time in months without having that dream. After he got out of bed he went to his desk to get the portrait to show my grandparents and the drawing was gone. Since then he's never had that dream again. Not really about the simulation theory, just a interesting story that gives me goose bumps everytime I think of it. Was this just his mind messing with him or was there a ghost type figure who needed to be validated in some way. If it was his mind playing tricks where did the portrait go? This world is filled with so many unknowns that nearly everything and anything could be possible.

The part where you said that things are only real once we look at it is scary to me. Most video games will only load things that you can see so you lag less. It corresponds to this a little and maybe one day, if we really are in a simulation, it will abruptly end because it can't "render" everything and just fails.

If we are living in a computer simulation does that mean we could hack the universe?

Normally I watch kurzgesagt for my dose of existential crisis. But Joe does well in in a pinch.

The editing of this particular video is very, very good.

My unexplained situation would be each time I learn or hear something I'm not aware of, it starts popping up in new movies and in my personal life

Nice work Joe. It is so difficult to touch this topic and bring something useful or stay grounded in our reality as you do it. On both, I feel you nailed it. As someone who fell so deeply into their own head that the world around me began to be indistinguishable from images created on a screen (for a year or two), I find this to be a very grounding take on the topic. Thank you.

I had a boyfriend once. Thought he was the one. We broke up. Flash forward 18 years. I had a pool table but moved and didn't have room for it. For some reason, I held onto the balls. Had a friend with a two year old who would always throw them out into my yard. We would always go and collect them but three of the balls were never found, we assumed they had made it to the creek and been washed away. Moving on... I found my long lost beau after 18 years apart. We got back together. When we moved in together, he had some random pool balls. When I asked about them, he told me while doing yardwork at an old house, he found them burried in the yard. He kept digging but there were only the three. He wasn't sure why, but he hung onto them. They were the three I was missing. Making them, together, a compete set.

I have reoccurring dreams/ waking hallucinations, as soon as I wake up I see inter dimensional beings see that I’m awake and run thru the wall, ceiling or floor. Wish I didn’t have this

I am not saying I completely believe that we are living in a computer simulated world but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true

I've been having dejavu ever since I was a kid. It usually happens just before, during or after something really bad has happened. And it isn't just dejavu, it's a memory that I've dreamed the situation before. I have really vivid dreams, and then maybe years later I have an accident, I get punched, i crash my bike, I faint in public etc and then a sudden memory of the dream comes rushing back. I've been having one for the last few years that kinds feels like the aftermath of being run over by a car and being really messed up. And honestly I think about it now every time I cross the road.

Sometimes I dream of buildings and places I've never seen before, and then some time later, I see them in movies or while browsing Google maps. I don't think this is anything more than coincidence, given the number of people on the planet and the number of buildings, the odds of this coincidence happening aren't really that small (Joe did another video on how even the rarest coincidences would happen to thousands of people).

heres something scary: if we are in a simulation to observe the past of humanity, will our gods destroy us right before we create our own simulation to avoid creating an infinite loop? are all of us going to be erased 30 years in the future because we 'catch up' with the people operating our universe?

Ok here goes, when I'm drifting off the sleep in my mind's eye I can see lots and lots of little screens floating past my vision (in my mind's eye) and when I concentrate one one of thoes screens I can bring it into focus and it shows a scene of something going on. Like I'm watching the world through someone else's eyes. Often showing things and places I've never seen or experienced. I've talked to few people about this and once I described a street that an American friend used to live on. Down to the corner shop and what colour the houses were. I was obviously a bit freaked out when she told me that. Or another time I saw a moment at a place I worked at, a couple months later the same scenario actually happened. Dunno if it's evidence of the simulation hypothesis, but it's a cool thing to go to sleep wondering what part of the world I'll see that night.

You need more subs, your videos are solid!

this is such a good channel man. so glad i found it

Great explanation! Also: love the WOW shout out

If you think we are in a simulation Then think other dimensions are servers running different simulations. And the speed of light is the speed of rendering a lot of things make a lot more sense.

Deja vu has been pretty surreal for me sometimes. Being in an exact situation I had thought about days or months, maybe years prior, happen, then BAM I remember I had a thought of my current situation in the past. Or as if I had just remembered the present as a memory. Very odd feeling, has happened a handful of times

Some really great information. I have been looking into this as just having the information and it is blowing me away. This was the first time I heard of James Gates and him finding computer code in string theory/ Thanks Joe. Just subscribed

... And when you die, a big sign comes up saying "Game Over!"

Yes when I was a kid. Me & a group of friends had a motor scooter that we were taking it in turns riding in a grave yard. I was waiting with others, when I sat down on the edge of a grave stone. I closed my eyes & as I did I my freind was on my right. I had my eyes closed & saw him move from right to left & it was night time. When I opened my eyes, I expected him to be still on my right but he was now on my left. This freaked me out as my eyes were closed. Then I got a feeling that something was going to happen. So I started to go. My freind said what's up I said don't know but somethings wrong. Then we all except some who were laughing at me started to run then we heard & saw the lights of the local parks patrol bikes coming in the distance. Then I knew what the feeling was. We would have been caught if stayed.. it was like I'd dreamed it before. 👍✌❤👊

one time when I was 12 I was up at 3am alone at my computer and I was trying to take a photo of my desktop image with my mom's point and shoot camera, It was a photo of the Matrix movie poster with Harry potter characters heads photoshopped over their heads, and when I took a few photos of it trying to get a good image and then I took one more and I looked at the image on the camera review screen and all of the heads and faces(and only the heads) on the image were covered in what I can only describe as green plasma or goopy looking stuff, it scared my so much I instantly deleted the image and ran into my bedroom... I never stayed up late again for a long time.... And the thing has also happened to me where one time I had a dream about a having a specific conversation with my friend while standing in a specific place and then I woke up for the day and vividly remembered the dream and what my friend had said to me in the dream, then that afternoon I happened to be talking to that friend and she started saying word for word what I had dreamt in my dream, also the scene in my dream was exactly the same.... It actually really shocked me and I was kind of weirded out for the rest of the day...

If this is a simulation, why did I pick the shitest avatar?!

I think this is the best KZfaq video I have ever seen. Philosophy and science all mashed together.

I Consistently have dreams that come true. But not big dreams like little scenes out of my day

When Joe tried to abbreviate the Blocklinearselfdualerrorcorrectingcode...he almost coughed up the red pill 🤭

Love your channel

Very deep. Awesome!

Smart guy, I like smart people, subbed.

It's just EAs newest project, the sims 5.

I already believed that we were living in a simulation, you just reinforced my beliefs… Mind. Blown. Thanks.

As a lifelong gamer it hasn't escaped me that the laws of physics, speed of light etc. would be a good way of keeping us within a desired environment. Similar to the way in which game developers place obstacles in the way, preventing the player from exploring beyond the immediate game environment. Alternate realities could therefore be nothing more than multiple variations of the same simulation. Lets face it. 100 people can play the same game but each play in their own way and slightly different from everyone else.

You should have gone all out for that opening sequence and gotten yourself some prince-nez sunglasses and a leather trenchcoat.

Actually Joe .....Thanx to you I have solved "The Quantum Code" supposedly an ECC code or Algorythym. Well....It actually is an actual ....dig this....a readback of dissipation of the information generated by our "Granted Quantum Variance". which is a fancy name for "Free Will" !! And...this is all a "Function of Entropy". Word!! thank you soooo much , bro.

“BLSDECC” man when that came out of your mouth I dropped my phone in laughter!!!

Love your sense of humor

Re. Deja vu, we have this ability, called intuition, which can be developed, that can give us non-linear knowledge. Gregg Braden’s Missing Links series provides quantum evidence of this.

"Wow, it's taking FOREVER for these Sims to get out of the maze..."

I was walking alone one night and I looked up at an airplane and saw a box around it. I said out loud to myself that's been photo shopped, and I laughed, but that's what I saw.

The last thing said in the video is something that I have is a thought that I've kept to myself and that is set within me. However I wouldn't just consider it a thought but something felt emanating like for my heart chakra or at least mine. I think that says something I think we can sense the difference and this is the first time I ever heard someone else say it out loud

The simulation theory also makes me think of free will. It's possible the choices we make every single day were never our own decisions. Here's an example. Say I decided I wanted a cup of coffee. If something influenced me to want coffee, like in a game of the Sims, I would believe it was my decision to want coffee but the reality is that it was never my decision.

Not going to lie, I’m jelly of the original Creator’s of whatever level of simulation we are currently in... Unless of course our future descendant’s reality is so hellish that they initiated these sims in a way to attempt an escape from their own nightmarish reality... In which case I’ll go ahead and forget this video entirely and go back to my less than mediocre existence with a sudden and profound appreciation for it.

Thanks for a great video. Simulation or not; it's still an interesting video. Hope your time-line is as exciting as mine. Congratulations ... welcome to the next level !!! 😎😎😎

I came here after seeing the Why Files talk about this. Joe thanks for making more sense.

I just watched the matrix 2 hours ago and this was just recommended to me 😳

When I was younger I fell through a table. I was spinning around in my living room (idk why I was bored ig) and I got dizzy and fell towards the coffee table. I closed my eyes bc I saw my head getting closer to the center of the table and I knew I was going to hit my head. Except I didn’t. My head hit the carpet and when I opened my eyes I was completely underneath the table, like I fell through it.

Love u vids man

you should do one on the most wierd coincidences. I heard of one where i guy was on holiday in, i think it was south Africa. Anyway... he was passing a pay phone when it started ringing. His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to answer it. Only to find it was his neighbour from back in the UK who had the wrong number.

We always try to relate the unexplainable to our knowledge. Hence attributing the universe to a computer code.

so god is some underpaid computer programmer.. great : /

Love this! Red pill every time

Thank you for a wonderful channel. Thank you for a wondrful channel.

man that last theory.. that is exactly what I've thought and I realized during my psychotic break, that we are created by more advanced humans and they propably too and so on, I can't imagine science really partially backs that up.. and I've realized all psychotic symptoms aren't u being insane but they are a way to see what's beyond the percieved reality.

Actual Reality - Perceived Reality - Desired Reality, Einstein Space - Quantum Space. Ok, I got it. Man, this is some really good smoke. Oh, wait, it was all a dream, just a dream. Whatever, we imagine, the answer will be something that we were unable to imagine.

I wrote a short story (published on Amazon) that was inspired by a paranormal experience I had when I was little. I was about seven or eight, when I woke up one morning with the strong feeling it was my first day of life. I could remember the day before, my family, my name, how to talk, and everything I knew before, so I certainly didn’t act like a newborn. And yet, for about an hour after waking up that day, it really felt like I was brand new. A glitch in the matrix?

love how you adjusted the white balance to match the overall green hue of the first matrix movie, kudos

Take some strong mushrooms . You soon learn reality is totally overlaid by alternative perceptions . The really really weird thing is that your mushroom tripping buddy , is in on the same trip ; no communication necessary.

Amazing video! And you didn't even mention the double slit experiment that,in my opinion, corroborates with the biocentrism idea. Also, the speed of light that is (in theory) the maximum speed that any particle can reach is the maximum speed of processing the simulation information. Interesting ideas but i still don't biy it.

8:50 Was not expecting a John Green reference, cool!

I think the best way to figure out if we're in a simulation is to try to determine what kind of simulation we would be in: Ancestral/Educational, Recreational, or Experimental.

The person controlling our simulation went AFK November 2016.

There's this big house nearby with two huge oaks beside it. When I was like 10, I went outside at night, stood a good 20 meters in front of it and saw the full moon behind the house, spanning from one oak to the other, bigger than the house itsself. Normally it would of couse only be as big as the chimney. It was like a visual glitch, like the "moon radius" variable had one 0 too many. I still distinctly remember the image and telling my parents about it the next morning, especially when looking at the house today. Sadly I was really scared and went back inside immediately, also phones didn't have cameras back then, so I am left with only the memory.

I had a massive deja vu experience in high school. I met this girl I'd never known and went back to her house and yet I knew her house. I was able to describe rooms before I entered them with uncanny detail. She was utterly amazed. Later when I went home and told my mother about the experience, she informed me that her mother had been a good friend when I was very little and I had indeed been in the house when I was very young.
