>mfw for all we know our consciousness could be a result of refracting light off of what once was earth, as we all travel a light wave carrying our visible being through space as earth was destroyed billions of years ago and none of us would ever know it because we're all just a memory
>life isn't short
>life ended milenia ago
This nigga high ass hell
>>29366120
that kind of makes sense, famm
but wouldn't that mean you die when you go into a dark cave?
>>29366120
An "image" of our planet travelling through space like a reflection would be just that- an image.
It would be impossible for a consciousness to exist inside it for a simple reason- this image would not contain a copy of your brain chemistry and synapses- only an image of your head and face. That's some Plato shit right here- reflections do not posses the property of being
But decent trip, I r8 4/10

Modern philosophy all boils down to
>Duuude, what if we don't exist and like, we're unable to tell?
Well I can't tell why should I give a fuck?
>>29366120
We live in a computer simulation that is running on some advanced civililaztion's quantum computers.
>>29366314
Because you can't really tell whether or not you should give a fuck, obviously
nigga what the fuk?
>>29366367
I really doubt we would have qualia if that was the case
Programmed beings can only do what they're programmed to
And you can't really program imagination

>you can't really tell whether or not you should give a fuck, obviously
wrong. you are inclined to give a fuck. I mean we "give a fuck" about board games, video games or TV shows even though we know these aren't "real". We give a fuck about a lot of shit that is to some degree an illusion.
If your life was a computer game you would still want to achieve a high score. That's just the nature of human action- it is a purpose in itself not dependent on its environment.
The only thing you shouldn't give a fuck about is whether the Matrix was a documentary or whether this world is sitting on top of a giant tortoise. Unless, like OP, you want some dank trips

this is so fucking retarded i'm going to post it on /sci/

Why not /lit/? I'm sure those faggots would have a long philosophical circle-jerk about it
>>29366449
Why couldn't you? Once you can program artificial intelligence, you can do anything. In fact, we already have computer programs that are modeling insects and their behaviors, they're almost early AIs. How can you be sure youre not a program? Could that insect realize he's not real?
>>29366498
Don't tell me what to do and how I think bitchboi
>>29366498
>wrong. you are inclined to give a fuck
Doesn't mean you should, and that's up to judgment values. Don't make up my judgment values for me.
>>29366565
the psuedoscience will trigger /sci/ autists, watch
>>29366572
It's funny that if we're AIs, we make our own AIs inside a computer program. How deep is the rabbits hole? One day our own AIs will make their own AIs in their simulated world. And similarly, what if the computer we're running on is just a simulated computer on the computer of a civilization a level behind?
>>29366639
what if it creates a closed loop where the "first layer" of reality is a simulation inside the "deepest layer"
shit would be cray

God's got some issues it needs to work out, doesn't it?
Shit.
I hope they're not always like this.

What's with this board and Tumblr tier individualism?
I mean I'd expect individualism out of people with self-respect, but when I get it from people who obviously don't have any it's just weird.
>>29366120
Literally copied from some shitpost on /sci/
who gives a shit if we don't exist right now and already did, we're experiencing shit and are concious, that's what matters
>>29366314
>Well I can't tell why should I give a fuck?
That's logical positivism, which is modern philosophy in the grand scheme of things
>>29367135
/r9k/ hivemind shill pls go
I know what you're up to
trying to turn us against our nature
pfffft
not falling for it this time bubs
>>29366120
>we're the universe experiencing itself
Your last moment before death will appear to last infinitely long to your point of view, because after your brain stops perceiving new things you will not experience the progression of time.
>>29368146
Oh man I'm so afraid of this
I don't really know how time dilation and the experience of time is mediated, but I assume it's neurological and that brain damage (such as when dying) could totally throw it out of whack in random and disastrous ways.

Existentialism is babbys first philosophy.
