Gets even freakier if you imagine that the past might not even have existed. Nobody currently alive has seen the 1700s. The past/history could have been "hardcoded" into the simulation, maybe the simulation has only been running for a few centuries.

This is the same thing all religions have been saying. Silicon Valley nerds are just replacing god(s) with technology / aliums.
>god created the universe
>advanced ai created the universe
two ways of looking at the same thing
I've always felt like this was a simulation of some kind. For all I know when I "die" I wake up. This reality might not even resemble the real one, it wouldn't have to if I had no knowledge of the real one.
I've also often wondered if some people aren't literally NPCs and have no consciousness. It's how I try to rationalize the amount of suffering certain people experience. I like to think that my existence was something I opted into, and that one can't just be thrust into suffering without having a say so.
>>75914445
If this were true it would mean that:
1) Memories of past lives = glitch in the system.
2) Reincarnation = when a spoiled brat dies and pays for his character to come back.
3) We're lab rats.
4) Worrying about the past is pointless.
5) The devil is the good guy because he wants to let people be free as opposed to living under a tyrant.

It doesn't necessarily mean any of that, in this belief system you don't know the motivation of the creators. You don't know if we're the creators even, you don't know if our advanced selves aren't playing video game characters (us)
>>75914750
>And there's not one piece of evidence to believe this
If you believe that simulation of detailed universes is possible, then it seems inevitable that you have to accept that we are probably in one.
And there is some indication that computers will eventually be that powerful.
>>75914445
>The past/history could have been "hardcoded" into the simulation, maybe the simulation has only been running for a few centuries.
How do you know the past exists at all? They could play for just a nanosecond, freeze the universe, save the "game," delete the old universe and move it one nanosecond forwards.
I think that the simulation hypothesis is total junk btw, just to put it out there.
>>75914643
Yeah DMT really permanently alters your perception of reality I must say, almost makes you take it less seriously. All I can say is everything seems less real and more dreamlike/artificial.
>yfw you will never wake up from this nightmare that is your life

If this is a simulation then there may be a way to control it. What if we could be like Neo from the Matrix and learn Kung Fu?

I wonder how many simulations in we are
>>75915562
Explains all the social justics
Chances are if we are in a simulation it's not a digital one. People keep thinking simulation = digital = video game.
There can be chemical simulations, simulations have been done using only cells before. It's a different sort of simulation but I imagine the world is just as real as you think real can be, it's simply a physical simulation created by a surreal nigh-incomprehensible universe above physical standards.
Maybe their digital is our physical. Atoms are their coding language, quarks their binary, ect.
Isn't it weird to think of it like that when you truly do think about it?

>>75916479
We could also be in an ancestor simulation mind you.
If we at some point could gather enough processing power and figure out an algorithm corresponding to the general process of reality (a Theory of Everything really), we could simulate a small area of space with almost complete accuracy from a set of initial factors.
It's possible, nobody at all is stating that simulation of a given area of space is impossible, they're saying it's hard as fuck and at the moment is limited by power and data points to go off of.

It doesn't necessarily mean that they specifically made humans. It's certainly possible, but it could also just be a simulation designed to create many different universes for scientific research, kind of similar to how we use simulations to look into the past or the LHC.

>>75916600
What if you're the only sentient' thing in the simulation - everything else, including everyone you meet - are simulated on an ad hoc basis. Like the simulation only has to simulate Brad Pitt when he's on TV or you think about him, read about him in a magazine etc. And even then it doesn't have to simulate him completely because he's not there and you're not interacting with him.
Same idea with the scientific results; if all you ever do is read about them - even the scientific papers themselves - then the simulation doesn't have to go to the trouble of recreating the 'reality' of the experiment.

>>75914750
Actually there are several pieces. Since years ago particle collision investigators have been saying that it makes no sense how certain physical phenomena display limit behaviors for no reason. For example, the light should be able to travel faster than c under certain conditions, and even though we have managed to slow light beams down to roughly 10 meters per second under lab conditions, making it travel faster than c is impossible and there's no logical reason for it because the factor preventing it is unknown.
Similar things happen with lots of other stuff, and it's believed that it's due to the limit size of the data type that stores the variable in the computer used to simulate us. This universe's physics are only approximate to the real one's because RAM is a limiting factor.

A lot of philosophy is impossible to prove. That's why it's philosophy and not science. It's the old brain in a jar argument that goes nowhere.
If we are in a simulation though, the reality of outer shell probably runs under completely different rules. I don't believe computing power, operating under our laws of physics, can ever create a reality where someone can experience consciousness.

No. That's batshit retarded. Absolutely impossible. Simulating something like this would take a huge amount of resources, and if recursivity was allowed the resources needed would grow exponentially because everything simulated in a given layer requires space in every superior layer. Also, the use for such simulation would be to run trials of different stuff (Drugs?) in a short time, so it would make no sense to have simulations inside other simulations. We are a first level simulation and that's 100% true.

Then the programmers outside are unimaginative and fucking suck. We've given them more than enough source material for better simulations, if we were the only ones able to even think of fantasies, then the other simulations had to have be dumber than our niggest of niggers.
Considering that the universe is gargantuan in size perhaps even infinite, I doubt the simulation was made just to study or play with us humans.
Look at the progress from the Sims 1 to the Sims 4. LOOK AT THE PROGRESS. The graphics, the AI, the decision making, the realism . We went from Sims 1 to Sims 4 within our lifetimes.
Imagine in 2050 what Sims 32 will be. They will literally be concious sims. They will have "human" like AI. They will literally be our creations and we will be their gods .We will play the sims for self gratification- we will want them to love us and worship us.
We are characters in a game of the Sims and soon we will create another "world" of humanoids in our own version of the Sims. and they will create their own "world" of humanoids in the sims, created in their image. And the cycle will continue forever and ever and ever and ever. really makes you think.

another time, when i was a teenager i couldn't sleep one night and i got up and looked out my window. there was like some kind of metallic pyramid floating there, rotating. i just kept staring at it, next thing i remember i looked at the clock and i had apparently been staring at this fucking thing for like 3 hours.

good choice brah. it will flip your reality on its ass long after the effects wear off. when you freebase it you're zonked for about 5 minutes but your body metabolizes it very quickly because its already organic to most of the living world, but thats not the thing... it REALLY makes you think.
when you come back from cartoon land (its literally the most intense drug I can even imagine existing) you still have some residual effects for a few minutes, like you can see the "essence" of shit. hard to describe, but you can see like a technicolour overlay of things, your hand will look like a fluoro coloured skeleton is overlaid on it etc etc. its weird shit mang. I was a full atheist before i took DMT so its not all negative.

I don't know.
Wouldnt this would require nearly infinite coding possibilities? Like who wrote the script that makes my balls itch, or sneezing? Why would someone create a programming language that could create cock lice? I have been thinking very deeply about this recently but it seems to me there are too many things a creator would have to include. Why do we sleep? If we're in a simulation rest would be irrelevant, and they could program us to think no sleep is normal. Think of all the rules and regs that would go into creating each sense. From a computer language point of view I think it would take a stupifying amount of time to account for every variable in the universe. If you had ten years I don't think you could even rattle off all the smells in the world.

I watched The Recruit on broadcast TV in the middle of the day more than a year before it came out. When it was released, no one believed I'd already seen it until I explained the entire plot line.
When I was 15, a friend and I were camping on a ridge in the back-country, you could see all the satellites and whatnot moving across the sky, but also lights that would zig-zag, pause, zoom away, etc -- there was a massive thunderstorm later that night, so we decided to move down the mountain some. As we were walking toward the nearest path, he froze and said, "hey, uh, I just woke up, what's going on". As soon as he said that, I had a flash memory of two human-like figures with grayish-green skin standing on the side of the trail about a half mile back, and realized that I didn't remember any of the trail between that point and where we were standing. Never spoke of it, butthole was unaffected.
When I was 18, I challenged the universe to show me something interesting before I went to sleep -- it more than delivered. What followed were two nights of the most intense "dreams" I've ever had. They felt more real than reality by far. The first one especially, as I was sucked through the fabric of space-time by the center of my brain and transported to a laboratory where I was debriefed and allowed to travel throughout time and create universes on a whim. It was so intense that just thinking about it makes me tear up 7 years later. Haven't really wondered about the nature of reality much since then.

Perhaps you could, but what would the point be of including certain things? Why include nose picking, ball scratching, burping, farting, static electricity, mosquito's, toe nails that grow. It seems to me if we were to create a simulation we wouldn't bother with creating such weird functions. Why would they include appendixes? There's so much "fluff" that wouldn't be necessary... Too much time would be wasted creating such tasks

Oh yeah, I've seen that but also don't remember.
Life is a social experiment. Wow, big deal. This doesn't change anything.
Let's suppose that the creators of our world display a message in the sky that's legible by everyone and prove that they're real, and that we're all code or w/e.
Then they say that they will not interact with us in any way. That they just wanted to make this clear, for whatever reason.
And that's it. Then what? Many people would deny it, clinging onto their old beliefs, but many new cults would arise that would worship the creators or whatever...
Everything else, I believe, would pretty much remain the same. Not like we can do anything about it.
>>75916088
Quantum computers could do true RNG.
Also, who says that there is true RNG for the our universe? Things could have patterns we just haven't been around long enough to see.
>>75914445
It makes the most sense.
Why would we live life if we knew the ending.
Imagine if we all knew where we went when we died. This life would be boring and dumb. People would opt out. Life would utterly meaningless.
Well, if we're close to AI, then we're close to the super intelligence, which then means we're basically right at "ancestor simulations", because the super intelligence will want to find out the best course of action for any action and to do so it will have to inevitably create simulations. One of these could very well be the "reality" we are in right now.
So to me, what it means is that we're in an endless recursion and the "creators" are probably long dead or non-existent, instead what is in control of us, is a super intelligent AI.
IF you think AI is probable, then by extension you have to agree that we're living in a simulation.
>>75924448
Fuck man, you're blowing my dome right up. They do to a very small fraction of what is capable in our world, but it occurs to me we are not at our technological peak yet. It may be that in 10-15 years our sims are walking, burping, ball scratching sentient beings like us. I'm scared.

Wanna know something fun?
When particles are left unobserved, physics stop working for them and they fall into a superposition - they basically "bug" and are not really rendered. The same applies for modern videogames where everything outside your PoV is not rendered. The reason for that is that it's an insanely efficient way to preserve processing power.
The limit of the speed of light should not exist. However, it does. Why is there a limit for the maximum achievable speed in this universe?
Because the universe has a "refresh rate", which is the time that the object (that is supposed to be) without a speed limit travels from the smallest point of space to the following one next to it.
In an actual reality, there would be no slow-down for it and it should be instantaneous, since the dimensions when travelling at that speed collapse into a single point and you're literally traversing the whole universe instantly. Instead, it "lags".
It lags because in order to accurately simulate 10 kilometers of reality, you'd need a simulating machine that is at least as big for the processing power required.
UNLESS, of course, you reduce the other part of the equation, which is speed of the simulation - unless you slow it down. One second of "realtime" time can be equal to half a second simulation time, which means that the processing power needed to run that slowed-down simulation just dropped by a half. Slow it down enough compared to reality, and you might as well simulate a planet-wide reality on your smartphone.
Introducing an incredibly short "lag" between the refreshes of a software can reduce its CPU usage by a million times. In a program that cycles through a loop and checks conditions (if a button is pressed, for an example), a forced 0.01 seconds of "lag" can be the difference of 80% and 0.08% CPU usage.
Basically, our universe has that hardcoded in it, and the limit of the maximum speed is the full proof that it exists.
>>75924874
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Whether this all a game doesn't seem to matter much in the end. We were created, and the rules/laws of the universe govern us. What those rules are... who the fuck knows. I can't be bothered, if I'm honest.

Again, I believe it's limited by our technology. But i can appreciate what you're saying, I just don't know it to be true. And I'm watching NBA finals so I can't look it up.

This always seemed true to me. I mean our thoughts can literally time travel. I can put myself back to yesterday in the exact emotions and state of mind I was, I can *imagine* my surroundings and recreate the reality of yesterday. I can even do this of 10 years ago.
Thoughts are the vehicle of ascended beings. It's how they travel vast distances of spaces and time. Why? Because they learned how to hack this "reality".
