I'm finally ok with the Fact that we live in a computer simulation

[seohug]

That idea was sold to the Matrix movie, made a lot of money and people got tired of it. If we were in a simulated program, the system would have crashed zillions of years ago and I wouldn't be here to type this. Thanks God!

the question is...how do they know that these are what cheesy poofs really tasted like? for all we know, cheesy poofs could taste like what cheetos tasted like, or even generic cheese balls.

 

[medicalhumor]

ok probably easily answerable ... BUT, if we are in a computer simulation where are all the glitches?

see the following thread http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/149368-merica-fuck-yeah.html

> There really is No difference from being a simulated person to being a real person - at least none that we can detect.

If we can't detect it why discuss it?

I know many people who are really just "simulated" people...the NPCs in my life.

So, who knows any good cheats?

Our life is more of a movie than a game. The most important thing to ask yourself is are you a person or are you God?

Are you a changeful, impermanent object or are you an eternal Absolut?

The answer might seem that you are a person.... UNTIL you combine these two a few times:

shrooms and LSD

+

The Tibetan Book of the Dead

= W1N

So, who knows any good cheats?

Yeah, don't believe any crap your mind tells you. Works like a charm.

 

[productionhead]

How are we able to know there is absolute truth though?

Anyone have the hex code edit for infinite lives? thanks!

Mind fucked for at least 2-3 days on this.

In the infinite universe there would be an universe where infinite / multiverses don't exist, negating infinite universes in the first place.

Depends on how you view an infinite universe. If you mean parallel universes that we can't see then that's possible. There is another view of an infinite universe where our current universe goes on forever and ever, in that case, it is mathematically improbable for sequence of events to not happen more than once.

For example, if you had a computer program that infinitely printed out random characters. Given enough time, even long sequences of 256 bytes, 1024 bytes, etc, will be repeated eventually. Another example would be MD5 hash collisions, or any one-way hash collision.

At first it really bothered me that we are all living in a computer simulation. But it's been about a year since I accepted this as fact and I'm ok with it. There really is No difference from being a simulated person to being a real person - at least none that we can detect.

The main points that swayed me to this conviction are the following:
* Universal Mind: it's a concept that I've believed in for decades... there's a HD at work here.
* The world is pixelated: so are computer displays.
* Quantum Mechanics: for example; The collapse of the wave function. And Yes PJ I know there is considerable math (that is beyond me) that May explain this particular phenomenon; however it is only a piece to the puzzle.
* All human sensory input is converted into electrical signals that are interpreted by our brains. Very similar to my laptop running programs from code. 0's and 1's if you will.
* Bostrom's Paper: Are You Living in a Simulation?

Here are a couple of vids that also swayed me a Bit:

* Is Schrodinger's cat proof we're living in a computer simulation? - YouTube

* Are We Just Simulations? Through The Wormhole: Episode 1 ~ Is There a Creator? - YouTube

fwiw I think that if you are aware of this fact you are in a better position to control the outcome of many future events in your life.

We are a simulation within a simulation.

I guess we are a giant quantum computer simulating our future in every possible way. We don't have physics fully worked out yet so anything is possible right now. You guys should keep an eye on what CERN come up with. They may vindicate it!

One time, when we were tripping on shrooms, a couple friends and I discussed the possibility that the purpose of our entire existence was to solve an equation on some 5 year old girl's math homework.

It gave a whole new meaning to "the answer to life, the universe, and everything = 42".

When I was a kid, I used to imagine everyone in the world was a robot and I was the only human. I have no idea why.

Me too. Not exactly robots though, I saw them more like organic holograms.
