https://fridaythe13th.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Kimble
Harrison_Ford was born in 1942, on July 13, but it wasn't on a Friday. He eventually played Dr._Richard_Kimble in The_Fugitive_(1993_film). David_Janssen starred as Dr. Richard Kimble in The_Fugitive_(1963_TV_series). He died on February 13 in 1980, but it wasn't on a Friday.
Jason_Goes_to_Hell:_The_Final_Friday was released in 1993 on August-13, a Friday of course.

At the end of the day, or near the end of one's life, several people just never have paid that much attention to synchronicity or the cosmic simulation concept.
https://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/comments/q79dth/simulation_theory_is_a_useless_perhaps_even/
Of course whether reality is limited to a universe, or something like a multiverse, that's just too much data to be accurately be interpolated in a simulation. Exploring the nature of reality isn't just a thought experiment. It's about trying to decipher an immense puzzle, enigma and mystery.
https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/exf6m2/never_forget_you_are_here Even a simulation of this galaxy has too many unkowns and variables.
However, it's so much easier to create various Earth based simulations, but that in of itself still might not provide definitive proof of a cosmic simulation.

"The button is revealed to be a panic button: the man—Sergeant Mike Ferris—is actually in an isolation booth being observed by a group of uniformed servicemen. He has been undergoing tests to determine his fitness as an astronaut and whether he can handle a prolonged trip to the Moon alone; the town was a hallucination caused by sensory deprivation. He had been in the booth for over 484 hours.
The officiating general warns Ferris that while his basic needs will be provided for in space travel, he will not have companionship: "next time [he will] really be alone". As Ferris is carried from the hangar on a stretcher, he looks into the sky and tells the Moon, "don't go away up there" and, "we'll be up there in a little while". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Is_Everybody?Plot So, it was all just a hallucination.

Simulation Theory Revealed | The Shocking New Physics of Reality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VovnnzsXVGc "Dr. Rizwan Virk (MIT professor, video game pioneer, and bestselling author of The Simulation Hypothesis) joins Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown to explore whether we’re living inside a computer simulation and why this idea may be the most important breakthrough of our time. From bridging ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum physics, to explaining life’s glitches, suffering, and precognitive dreams, Dr. Virk unpacks why simulation theory could radically change the way we see reality."

The Westworld echo chamber mindset of some people who only like season one

https://www.reddit.com/r/westworld/comments/1k7wn86/dr_ford_a_glimpse_of_who_they_could_be/

WW really should have had season_5.
