Although if it were the case that the other people in your simulation were just simulations and you were an actual person plugged in, it would be hard to come to terms with that..more difficult than dying in the real world I'd say.

To talk about the simulation from inside the simulation one of the most maddening experience. It's like you are spinning as fast as you can so you can see your own back. Perhaps like trying to describe something with elements of the same description and leading nowhere. I often try reducing all experiences to the lowest common denominator by looking for ones that can not be divided down any longer. Like the color Blue or the taste of Milk. These appear to be the pixels of the projected world that appears before me through the process of abstraction.

All our sims save up computing resources whenever possible, so one must assume that this also applies for a universe-scale sim. Our simulations calculate all the visuals from the oberver perspective (even outsourcing the computing to the user CPU/GPU) and not as an entirety. If there is no observer, the details are not computed. There allways is a deterministic approach to calculate all the object's positions (when needed) depending on system time. Simulating the entire universe would take wayy more resources, than just simulating our experiences. Thus, us (or just me, lol) being the observers and therefore the primary subjects of this sim is the most likely scenario.

The thing abut the holodeck and why people in Star Trek Universe were not choosing to exist within that rather than reality is that reality was an awesome place to be in, they didn't need to escape and get out of it because traveling the galaxy in a star ship was amazing in itself, living on Earth and within the federation was paradise, so things like holo addiction was not a huge problem for the majority of the federations population. They where not living in a dystopia that they needed to escape from, it was just a form of entertainment like going to the movies. But it was explored in the series how certain people could become addicted to the holodeck, like Barcley and Nog, Barcley who had social anxiety and Nog who had gone into war and came out with PTSD. But both of them had much love and support from their friends that it was easier to overcome their addiction and get back into reality. It is because they where living in an advanced society that they had that love and support from everyone, where as in today's world it is not as easy for many people to get that same kind of help and support.

Its extremely frustrating trying to imagine that we could be a simulation. The amount of detail here, all the particles and atoms, planets and stars.. just trying to imagine how much intelligence and how much power the creators must have to create all this and have it continue to run for this long... absolutely mind blowing to say the least. All the variables the simulation has to represent the universe would be so large.

i met a "bug in the simulation" once, (completely sober) i was thinking at first of a gridlike system of interpreting spacetime instead of an amalgam, where each point was plotted, and there were seams as though one was looking at a moire. where i could see "between" the rows and columns. in conjunction i was thinking about the place where data actually traverses the gap between flesh and cognition, the processes of my eye and optic nerve and brain in conjunction with each other, there was a distinct moment when i came into contact with the ripping void of the mass of data that is visual reception in total. just a basic mind game i left "running" after i grew bored of it and went on to towel myself off (showerthoughts, all right? don't judge) about three minutes later i was looking at my wall and i saw "through" it. and all material, in that particular direction (retrospectively i think i was seeing the relativistic jet from m87 'head-on') and i saw a bright fiery "thing" floating there. I don't think it was an angel or demon, but it was "floating in parallel to me". it noticed me of a sudden, and it came over and 'sewed up the seam'. i think this is just another one of those bugs. sure, no one would believe me if i told them, and it's all mumbo jumbo when you're not classically trained, eh? but i'm convinced that this place is doubtless more than what most would care to admit.

I have known in my gut since 6 years old that this world is not "right." I think there are many options: 1. We live in our original bodies in a base world, donated our copied consciousness for an experiment, and we are basically a black mirror episode. 2. We are extinct and some alien civilization is running sims to decide if we are worth resurrecting. 3. We are alive and blocked from the galactic expanse while aliens run sims to see if there is ANY version of us that could develop and not want to manifest destiny the universe or just break and steal things. 4. We are in an anthropological study of past humans, or an "Ancestor Simulation." 5. We are a failed experiment that was abandoned and just left to run in null space based on predetermined parameters. Nothing is ever TRULY deleted from our computers. Maybe the same is true for our creators. My GF and I have a safe word if we ever find ourselves unplugged and awake in the base reality: "ROY!"

Lex, thank you for all of your hard work.. You're a beacon of reason. Could aliens be part of the process of this system or would they be the "observers" that created the simulation. Maybe avatars they created to interact within this system, essentially their playable character. We love creating simulation games that mimic our perceived reality; could that possibly imply that the "simulation" was created to mimic the world from it was made? (or are we just a product of that higher technology and guessing intent would be impossible?) Could the "code" be written in an encrypted manner to keep us from getting to the root? Are there any real answers to my questions? Why do I care so much if it doesn't matter?
@lucascuervo273 жыл бұрын
I agree with Lex, I think in a few years, if the technology has advanced enough, it will be possible to enter virtually simulated worlds in which different physical laws and creatures exist. If you add to that some type of technology which would allow us to not do the action of eating (maybe a machine that injects all the necessary components into our bodies), then you get a world in which people would prefer to live in that world rather than reality. An alternate idea would be a virtual reality world in which time would run differently than in the real world. So for example, one week inside the virtual game is a minute in the real world. Then people could "wake up" from the game to eat or get some fresh air. Maybe that's the type of simulation we are in. We are beings that enter this simulation to experience some sort of life different to what is out there in "the real world", and the time in this simulation runs differently to how it goes in "the real world". So one lifetime here is an hour in "the real world" or something like that. Also, people could leave the simulation through some subconscious command which would cause us to die sooner than expected (this would explain non-natural deaths). Thinking about this is crazyyyy :)

Absolutey, and cheers guys lol basically how I see it: our computers are little simulations of the humans making them. And the way we try to explain our computers, we are really just trying to explain our own existence. metophorically. We and everything on earth is somewhat of a stochastic simulation. The earth has a system of variables that can change randomly with the individual probabilities of the inhabitants of the planet, be it lifeform, geological, oceanic etc etc. Realizations of these random variables are generated and inserted into the model of the system ("realizations" being the cause and effect trait on the universe and earth _"model of the system" being-again-earth, its climate and its inhabitants) life evolves to adapt to the environment/climate. Iv gone a long way around it but basically what I'm saying is. Most of us forget that we come from the universe and actually inherit alot more from the universe and earth and our surroundings than we think. Once one thing is changed, life adapts to the change. And that includes "Death". Its So fascinating. I'm a firm believer of the importance of philosophy. Most scientists say that philosophy isn't a science. I couldn't disagree more, it's a science we don't understand. Difference. understanding the intuitive thought of a mind that the universe birthed is nothing less than science. Think of it this way. Roll the whole universe as we know it into a single ball. Now whether you say (conciousness is only biological) you're missing the point. It's all biological. And EVEN IF, we are the only consciously superior beings in the universe, on the surface of that "ball" the universe still saw itself for a brief moment. All thanks to 60 miles of atmosphere in a 52850 light year galaxy. And that's just beautiful. Sorry to waffle on 😂
