Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Scientologists, Mormons, Muslims and Atheists, it’s time to look at the evidence. Either pantheism is real or we're all in a computer simulation.

>You are constructing your own reality through your brain. You do not see reality as it is because you are a byproduct of evolution. It does not favor reality, it favors survival.

This is a fact.

>The consciousness you experience is a collaboration of processes that were guided into existence by laws of the universe. Electromagnetism, gravity, and the strength in nuclear forces are some of the laws humanity has been able to identify.

This is a fact.

>The universe is as much of you as you are it; you are merely processes of atoms tethered to the laws of the universe and mirroring what you perceive in a subtle way.

This is a fact.

You possess this illusion of being a free willed individual, but in true reality you wouldn't have a sense of self or understanding without your environment’s influence. This has been observed with people who suffer in extreme neglect and lack any kind of language. They're just walking zombies. You are a walking chemical reaction that reacts to stimuli and acts accordingly at a base level. You are formed completely through outside forces, there is no real “you”. There is only the universe and "you" are not in control of a single aspect of anything that happens.

I could argue the same. Don't try to actually observe what I wrote, just call me insane. These aren't even my ideas, they've been around forever.

The "reason" things happen are beyond me, as I dont intricately understand every single law that the universe holds.
But just as sodium and water create a chemical reaction that will always happen (within the confines of this universe) every law will always follow the same "rules" and can be calculated out. Everything that will happen in the future has already been written out, no matter how you try to change it. you are a reaction. Just as everything is.

Science and mathematics are tools we can use to help bring us to the real answers. We've proven this to ourselves. We can't know for sure though but we're on a path to something.

What is the reason for things happening? Laws. We have four of them at the current moment. Electromagnetism, gravity, and weak and strong nuclear forces. What's behind that though. Why do these laws exist?

I really don't claim to know the answer. It was bait. However the idea that everything is interconnected is something that is striking to me. Perhaps the universe is a leaving breathing entity itself or perhaps it was designed as a simulation. The fact that everything is already mapped out is fascinating. Nasa can send out something by calculating gravity which is a constant. The idea that we're in a simulation could be inferred by our own technology today. Think of how fast computers games have advanced... What if we made a game with a theorized quantum computer?

First of all, there's no correlation with seeing reality and evolution.

Second, there's no "byproducts" of evolution. The phrase is completely meaningless.

Third, we are who we are not because of evolution. Evolution is just a biological process/tool that (usually) selects the genes that are most present in both parents. Which means that we are who we are because of out enviroment and the procreational choices of our ancestors.
After all, when you make a wooden table, you don't say it is what it is because of the byproduct of your hammer, do you?

It's a fun thought, although I wonder why anyone would bother simulating an entire universe just for us. Seems to me we're at best the byproduct of another simulation.

I recently had a similar story idea, where humanity evolves and reaches the fringes of our universe, only to realize that we're a simulation. Basically the events leading up to the singularity from the viewpoint of the program.
Meanwhile the civilization simulating us, is on a lower technological level than we are, but managed to start a simulation of a universe, ours.

Ok, just to go easy here. infrared light. We don't see it. We didn't have a need to. We know it's there. If you want more explanation just ask.

We can consider ourselves to be the byproduct in this specific time.

I can say the isolation stimulated mine.
Dealing with horrible things at a young age sent me spiraling into a permanent existential crisis which eventually led to many of the ideas I hold today. Drugs led me into my FINAL observation upon the creation of existance.
I do not know if we are in a simulation or not, as I cant be sure.
But I do see it as a possibility, a neverending one in which a universe creates a simulation inside a simulation and on forever.
But I generally dont stick to that idea. I can tell you all about the creation and how that went down, existance and the sort, but how WE got here and the rules that this universe abides by.. I cannot help with.

That's what I'm saying, for the universe to be a simulation of us, there is too much stuff irrelevant to us.

I shall try. But if you dont understand, you dont understand. As ive mentioned earlier, with some people it doesnt "click".
we live in a logical universe run by reactions. Something has to happen for something else to.
for a house to exist a builder must build it.
When water and sodium combine, a chemical reaction takes place.
Laws are in place that cant be changed.
Light hits the photoreceptors which gets eventually sent to the brain making the brain "see" something. Thats a reaction.
All your "conciousness" is, is many MANY reactions going on at the same time. And as I said, this universe follows laws. Things will always react the same. YOU are nothing more than reactions.

If there is truly no free will than why bother worrying about things? Why bother doing anything at all? Shouldn't everything just happen without me trying or not trying? I call bullshit. There is free will because I can choose A or B.
>>
>>688300399
Your choice of A or B has been decided already. What WILL happen is set in stone. Your "choice" is an illusion.
See anon, I dont worry about things. As much as this human form allows anyway. the best reason I can give you for why I do things is "because".
Everything will keep happening without you trying. Go ahead and die, your atoms will form something new. Without you ever having a choice in it. The stars do not care if you burn. They just exist, burning a beautiful reaction through and through.

The future is written in stone. What WILL happen in the future is 100% already going to happen. Lets say youre going to go through door b, and I tell you that you have no free will. So you take door a to smite me. In reality you "changing your mind" and going through door a was already set in stone. It was going to happen as soon as I said those words. Your "choice" was an illusion.

You can basically say there is no free will because the chemicals in our brain are made of molecules are made of atoms and so fourth, that after all obey the laws of physics.
Also, our perception is bound to us as an individual.

>It does not favor reality, it favors survival.
Evolution doesnt favor anything, it's not an intelligent operator, it's merely a process.
And lets say we accept what you're trying to convey, how would not favoring reality improve survival?
Wouldnt perceiving, knowing and understanding that a real tiger is really in front of you (i.e. reality) be the most favorable?
It's a complex question. How the brain perceives 'reality' and how close it is to 'real reality' (if you even accept such questions) is still up for debate.

>consciousness
>there is no real “you”
Qualia my friend. Please do explain :)

>illusion of being a free willed individual
Even if what you're saying is true. For all intents and purposes (since we dont have a God computer) we do not know what we will choose until we have chosen it.
Therefore the problem of free will is still a problem.
Determinism doesnt really provide any answers.

>>688291634
Another fact is:

You have no proof yesterday existed (your memories could have come into existence just now), you have no proof your computer exists, you have no proof anything outside of your perceptions exist.
However, there are truths that we cannot prove. That doesn't mean they aren't true.
