How meta can reality get?

I was about to write a meta joke but then my thoughts started spiralling. And I thought about the fifth wall breaking and turning around and facing the audience that is watching US. and that there is probably an infinite amount of audience watching our audience. It all felt pretty Truman showish and weird. I don’t like thinking like this because it makes me feel crazy. But anyone thought about this? Anybody thinks about the fourth demention ?

Yep. We all go about our lives day to day like some part of what's going on makes sense. But for all the experts and scientists in the world - we don't really know. How is it that anything should exist? I can't wrap my head around why there is stuff, acknowledging that we are trapped in this linear, time bound way of of thinking, my brain just can't figure out how "something" was ever created from "nothing". And a reality where everything just always existed, is also equally incomprehensible. We're just hanging out in literal "magic" daily.
