[@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.

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.

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.

[@rickysmith923]

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 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?"

(Maybe?) Something really interesting i noticed, particularly with Lex; He DOESN'T look eye to eye for a lot of his thought process. 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.

The simulation hypothesis can’t be proven or disproven (with current science, anyway). That’s why sim is not an hypothesis, but an interpretation: the Simulation Interpretation (SI). We can interpret / explain the known facts of physics, and existence, assuming SI, and it makes a lot of sense. Someday there may be actual "proof" but let's ignore that controversy. There are many aspects of reality that totally baffle modern physicists.

The Simulation - a description 😁 Holographic Universe model - a "universe projected," rising symmetrically out of the substrate, as an ADS/CFT Duality. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ3TdXukbducjpo Data that results from interactions taking place at the level of "the standard model" are inevitably gathered and stored (uploaded, if you will) to supermassive black holes; smeared across it's surface; like 2D pixels portraying 3D view - pixels as voxels. Same as you paint a 3D forest across upon a 2D canvas; the 3D information is there, the template is 2 dimensional. Like a sentence. A sentence can be written 2D, left to right, a linear function. But the information conveyed may grow, from off the page. Sentences build ideas. Ideas move people, and the world changes. So, ideas in a sentence take new form when applied into 3D space. Information is never lost. As with energy, it cannot be destroyed. It only changes shape. You, your consciousness, exists at the level of the substrate. Simultaneously, it is projected into 3D "standard model" space; as a quantum duality. Therefore consciousness bridges the gap, somehow, that mocks Max Planck and Sir Isaac Newton's disagreement. Everything you experience, here, a reflection of that. The light, the energy you are, then dissipating about this "standard model," up and thru the stars. It's just data. You, your signature upon this dynamic, just data, like everything else. .. and compelled by gravity, follow the timeline long enough, it all will end in the same place. Everything you do, and will experience, all that you are, were, and is, inevitably imprinted, on the surface of a collapsed star; smeared across the event horizon (as data) upon a supermassive black hole - for God to review, and from which he can/will choose to reanimate you later.

Just take a look at this map of human metabolic pathways for perspective. Simply trying to figure out how we process food to energy and other shit is barely approachable by human intellect: www.metabolic-pathway.com/fullMap.html I think that even if we were to find the "simple rules" underlying our universe, it wouldn't help us that much in figuring out "surface level" systems that emerge from the rules. It would surely give us more many tools to research and simulate different systems, but the scale is so vast that we can't approach everything from quantum level up because it gets too complex even for computers, never mind our brains.
