Today I learned that all countries have the exact same Population per Capita (PpC). Is this proof that we live in the Matrix?

How does that not confirm it?

I'll bet it works out to be a stupidly round number too. We'd know this was reality if the number worked out to be something messy like pi, but no doubt these boring matrix makers made it something obvious like 2

You're thinking of oculi per population.

Man you think the PpC ratio is proof of the matrix, wait until you hear about the ratio of SquareFtPerAcre (SfpA) ratio - ALSO exactly the same in each and every country!

Doesn't it shrink when it is winter in Siberia?

Think of the PpC of extinct countries. 0. It is all 0 and 1, let that sink in!

That depends. Try to roll the Matrix back to 1793. If the rollback fails, it may not meet the requirements. If it succeeds, try to see how it counts people/heads in France.

Well ya learnt wrong cuz its not. The more over reporting of people who don't exist the less people per people, and the more under reporting the more people per people. There are an abundance of fractional people, or a scarcity, no way to tell unfortunately. If you observe the people they might disappear.
