It's amazing how so many believers in simulation theory think they are not religious.

[@WickedIndigo]

@@thepagecollectiveas far as I’m aware, most who believe in simulation theory don’t worship a deity, and they don’t follow a code of ethics that is hinged on reality being a simulation. By definition that means it’s not religious.

[@thepagecollective]

@@WickedIndigo A religion needs no code whatsoever, nor worship. It is merely the belief in an unnecessary, unprovable creator, for which there is no evidence what so ever, and has been demonstrated as impossible by rigorous scientific inquiry. That's simulation theory.

I love this dialogue and the talk about conscious way toward the end. You reach the virtual reality and on the other side you find it’s just life because there would be no difference in the end; and it’s just a process, a dance, it’s just a concept and the mind has created it so to transcend the evolution of the mind which is itself inside the simulation then nothing is not inside it or out because you have reached yet another concept. There’s a complexity that they reach and so many more questions when in the end it’s all just consciousness; an isness or awareness; because the irrelevancy of whether or not we are in it means there is nothing to understand because it’s just the mind, the ego (identification with thought that is needed in order to continue to survival) trying to one up the universe; I.e. have power over it and thus conquer death.

[@Tenly2009]

I’m not really a Joe Rogan fan - but this is the best discussion about the simulation argument I’ve seen. It’s like this conversation starts where the explanation of the simulation hypothesis ends.

[@mapledev]

I kinda wish Joe understood the explanation of Conway's Game of Life. It's a pretty interesting idea to relate to simulations. Basically, instead of designing the complex end result of the simulation and creating to that end result, like game developers do now with VR games (which fall extremely short of an experience that you forget isn't real, potentially like our current life experience might be), it's the idea that you could create a simulation from the bottom up instead; create tiny units that interact with eachother in such a way that they can, on their own, merge and evolve into bigger and more complex things, such as self-sustaining lifeforms. So the idea is that, as evolution is already an observable thing, it isn't so far fetched that a simulation exists where some sort of lifeforms made some elements/atoms (sorry my chemistry isn't good) and threw them in a pot which interacted and reacted with each other, so as to develop into bigger and more complex lifeforms struggling for existence. Only thing is that with this simulation idea, we are limited, because calculating what the end result will be like would be very hard, like the creation of self-sufficient AI. It also might mean that we wouldn't necessarily be able to be part of a simulation we make, using this method. Someone correct me if I'm off.

I disagree. Joe had on a lot of physicist, philosophers, biologists, psychologists, mathematicians, and computer scientists and he is fully aware of this simple concept.

To me he made that expression because he was trying very hard to show interest in the dull excited reaction Lex had, that every year-1 philosophy student learns: random simplicity creates complexity, randomly.

I've noticed this with other guests as well (JP is another good example) and I've started to incorporate that habit into my own conversations. I'm not sure if there is a scientific name for this "tactic" but it does feel like I can more quickly distill the greater idea-fog in my head, into something verbally coherent.

[@sethblue2092]

For deep thinkers it is uncomfortable to make long durations of eye contact, it seems wrong or rude, when it happens the thought "Oh shiyt, I hope they didn't notice me in there shuffling through their thoughts" haha but srsly fleeting eye contact makes some of the most understood conversations, If you're talking it allows a openness of emotions and words because the talker is not relying on how the listener physically reacts to the conviction of the topic, half a millisecond of eye contact and the talker knows the story hasn't been lost with them and now want to be the listener, the listener felt the effect of emotional energy released from words, and in that half millisecond of eye contact, the Torches a Story were traded

[@paradise_valley]

I know if I’m staring too long at someone without brief pauses in between or quick glances away, I can’t continue the conversation because I get nervous or uncomfortable. So I usually start and end my sentences looking my at the person but can’t hold eye contact in between that time constantly.

I had a mushroom trip where I went inside my mind unconcious and I saw infinity reaching the cusp of nothing. It told me that within nothing is all possibilities and that conciousness's job is to move towards infinite complexity to reach nothing again. It was as if everything was nothing, in equillibrium with itself.

If we’re in a simulation then time would run different outside the simulation vs inside the simulation. It’s entirely possible that when we die the entirety of the simulation is played out all at one time, so there’s no time lapse between death and the afterlife. That could also mean that in the time it takes for whoever runs the simulation to experience one second is the same amount of time for the entirety of our universe to be born and die.

[@NeinFeline]

Or that time isn't an issue outside of the simulation. Therefore you can experience "characters" throughout the timeline... Caveman to traversing solar systems 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rickysmith923]

@@NeinFeline if the simulation/universe is infinite then that’s necessarily occurring somewhere right now.

[@NeinFeline]

@@rickysmith923 sure... But that doesn't mean that time has to be a factor there.

[@rickysmith923]

@@NeinFeline Any measurement we have of time/simulations would disagree. Gravity in a simulation is relative (gravity affects time), so is any measurement (ie: sun positioning) too. If someone controls simulations/can change them they can change time. They could also edit consciousness, or erase data (changing our perception of time). In simulations now we have features that can speed through or rewind time. Why would a more complex simulation have less complex features? Why would beings in a simulation be smarter than the creator of said simulation? We have machines now that could go through millions of calculations in a second. Why wouldn’t a better computer be better equipped to run calculations instantaneously? Basically our calculations have already been ran on the machine, and the operators are reading the results of the data in their time. While we’re just the data being ran.

[@NeinFeline]

@@rickysmith923 so what if there's no gravity outside of the simulation... I agree with the last part but I would never assume what participants in the simulation would be capable of knowing more than those outside of it (through the guise that participants elect not to know)... With that premise, gravity being a variable in the simulation doesn't necessarily have to translate to origin... It could just be "hey, what if we couldn't simply fly everywhere like we can... Wouldn't that be funny?"

[@anthragestormrider2493]

I'm glad someone finally presented the idea to Joe, and highlighted this element in general, that a simulation need not be one where what we see around us was created with intention at the macroscopic scale, with individual people and events having been designed. As Lex describes, it is also very possible and perhaps even likely that it is a simulation at a more fundamental level, with the complexity we see emergent from base simplicity. The examples of The Matrix and of VR/Videogames have unfortunately overshadowed what would in essence be more advanced forms of simulations currently run in the areas of academia and science. A simulated universe that started much like our own is a different prospect entirely from what is popularized by the general public.

[@Yzjoshuwave]

So glad Lex went toward the Conway’s Game of Life approach. I’ve been meaning to make it back to his conversations with Stephen Wolfram. I still think we’re in some fairly deep binds with this approach as well though, as far as the selection of rule sets is concerned. If there’s a selector - Lex’s 13 year old kid designer - we may need to ask about the simulation status and rule sets in the dimension of reality outside this simulation. Are Transcendental designers emergent? Is it a nested simulation? Is there any reason, then, to think there isn’t an infinite regress of transcendent sheathes of simulation? Yeah, metaphysics can go fairly batshit along these lines. It’s not something that can be rationally discarded and it’s irrational to think the Universe is void of metaphysical conditions. Its enough to make anyone who wants an inordinate amount of certainty wriggle around uncomfortably. Many scientists be soiling their lab frocks.

[@KomradeKlonopin]

That's a kinda silly way to counter the argument, like saying if this is a simulation what about other humans? Most simulations interesting enough to create won't have one single type of character.
