Rest assured you’re not the only one with such thoughts/questions. Here are my 2 cents... As you correctly state, most of us being engineers, we have to accept some facts, initial conditions and axioms for the system/life we’re living in and unfortunately work with these constraints. - Just accept that the universe around us exists. If it’s real, a simulation, a dream or whatever else suits you is irrelevant. - That’s the difficult part, some (most?) humans understand our place in the universe and how meaningless our existence is in the vast time scales of the cosmos. Try to live your life everyday. - We’re just like any other animal or complex machine or a PC. Eventually we’ll “break down” and will suffer or be unfortunate. Our habits, environment, genes, whatever other factor, affects this but at the end of the day we’ll all die. Try not to overthink it, try to keep your mind occupied with other (more relaxing/fun) activities, educate yourself so as to better understand the system you’re part of and spent some quality time with other humans, otherwise you might fall into one of the many mental medical conditions. Just keep tight, we’re all into this.
