Are we living in a simulation?

Let’s dive really fucking deep and debate the possibility/implications.

Are we living in a simulation?

no

Nope just you being an attention starved faggit year 8

That depends on your definition of simulation.
It doesn't make our experiences any less real.

How do you explain life then?

How does a simulation explain life, retard? The questions are still unanswered, but now you also have to explain who or what created the simulation and how.

If all life exists within the confine and delimitation of said 'simulation', and nothing else can be learned or experienced away from its confines, then no longer the sign of simulation serves. We can make a simulation in our computer and then draw a correct outline of what is contained and what are the employed approximations and possibilities. Yet, we can only provide that because we have knowledge and can experience the world outside the simulation.

If all there is were a simulation, however, we are talking about reality and not a simulation.

Nothingness being too unstable and breaking out of its mold
The fabric of reality must be dual and in conflict with itself
There was no other way but for things to keep coming into existence and disappearing

The impression of simulation comes from human consciousness having a meta perspective on the whole realm

a simulation

a simulation of what?

We're all the way back nigger, I hate jews

Possibilities say it's almost certain. Physics say it's just a matter of point of view. We live in a mathematical calculation, according to the physics. It doesn't change anything. It's just another way to phrase how our existence feels like.

from what I heard, the pods and even Zion are part of the simulation.

This.

you'll only find out when you die

no.

simulation theory is just aging plebbitors coming to terms with God and their own mortality. Heckin' ScIeNcE to rationalize intelligent design.

The more I think about it the more yes it is. Also, Jesus Christ seems to make sense in this scenario.

Am I the only one that remembers Anon Babble being down for over a week? I've been browsing again for a day now and not a single post mentioned the hack

blow up your local radio towers
burn down 5g antennas
blow up water towers too
its easy anyone can do it.
hack satillites with lasers and send them into the atmosphere to burn up.
say fuck niggers, fuck kikes, and fuck faggots when you get into your car
say you are going to blow up the president and white house in your car with the doors closed.
Use a FOIAA to ask the FCC how many military contracts it has in your area.

Yes. However, it is not a computer simulation, at least not like our computer simulations. It is being projected from a reality that has at least five spatial dimensions. As far as we are concerned, the universe is exactly what it appears to be. You cannot escape this 3D simulation because in 5D reality you are no more real than one of our fictional characters like spider man.

yes, and God is the one that created it and gave us the instructions how to exist in it which humanity immediately broke.

i remember hearing some Christian apologist say the best argument for God's existence is based on this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics
which basically demonstrates we're in a simulation because...

the universe operates like a computational system, with discrete units of information (like bits) underlying physical phenomena, which aligns with discoveries in quantum mechanics, where energy and matter appear quantized.

universe is fundamentally informational but where does this information originate from, points to an intelligent programmer

universe's informational structure resembles the workings of a mind

precise programming of physical constants and laws necessary for life yada yada

i think the moral argument is better though, atheist materialists shit their pants when they realize they can't reconcile the existence of real moral oughts in their framework.

Are the feds running the simulation and was Jesus a fed?

I don't care anymore I just want to sleep and go into the void.

Totally nigga

Yes, picrel explains it. an early sub-sect of Gnostic Christianity got it right. Really good read

Simulation is deism for plebbitors

It's not "a" simulation. It's an infinite recursive simulation. Each level is simulating the next level down. There is no waking up because each level can wake up to the previous level. When you die you lose your memories of the simulation you were on and you just live in the previous level.

inb4 just kill yourself repeatedly to keep waking up

Won't work. In this current level, you may realize this is what you "want" to do, but once you exit this level, you'll forget that realization. Also, there is no point because there is no origin simulation. It's infinite.

Your choices are to either help build towards simulating the next level, or to kys. It doesn't matter either way though, because the infinite progression will continue with or without you.

Even if it's not a computer simulation, the reality we experience is still a mental construct. It's a simulation in the sense that it is a sort of holographic representation.

Yes 100%
I've explained it many times on here
You chose to be here.
It's basically a game but also a test
All your bros are looking at a monitor and loling watching you masturbate to fatties and shove things in yer butt

There is literally no way to prove or disprove if we live in a simulation so the discussion is pointless.

Even if you were to be "pulled out" of the simulation tomorrow, how would you know whether or not that was or was not a simulation?

This is exactly way it is according to Hinduism and Buddism. Reality is illusion, Maya, and it is mind-made, the mental construct of God. God is in everything you perceive, to the sub-atomic particle and in higher dimensions beyond our perception.

Checked

This dick.

Simulation is just redditor and jeetlon loving nuspeak for God and God produced world, basically

Next you're going to tell me there were lockdowns.

I am convinced of it ever since I had an actual precognitive dream

I had a really bad acid trip years ago and developed PTSD from it. It lasted about 4 years, came in the form of flashbacks. Alot of people say that shit doesnt exist, but it fucking does.
I was really really stuck on the idea that this world is a fabrication, or not actualy real based on some of the shit i saw durring the trip. But i've come to terms with honestly not giving a shit. You have to focus on the things you love, do things that make you feel alive, and you wont concern yourself with pondering if everything is an illusion or not. I have a good feeling that this world is infact an illusion. Proof? i have none. Just a scitzo feel. I got a glimpse into something i should not have seen and it fucked me up, but i came out better in the end. I always got stuck on the idea, what you are doing with your hands, and body, is NOT what is actualy going on. its dumb What we do with that information? Your decision. Just try to be as mindful about your actions and words as you can be. Don't create hell for yourself.

Both are equally pathetic.

Not quite. Reality is literally real.
The "simulation" is only in your mind, your imagination. An entire universe that this world installed into your mind since you were born. A universe that was never physically real and only existed in your mind, but you never thought about it, and your mind will fight against anyone who is going to tell you the physical reality that you actually live in.

what did you see?

Yes. There is only one consciousness that exists, "god" for a lack of a better term. And the "reality" that we live in, is simply a dream of said god.
The true reality is a constantly shifting, but ever the same wave of contrasts. Hot & cold, orderly & chaotic, grey & vibrant, euphoric & despairing. There is no meaning, no grand plan or design. It simply is. And "god" is a bodyless mind trapped in this eternity. A mind with no physical form. Powerless to do anything, but only existing to perceive the fluctuations of the meaningless state that is reality. So the mind dreams up a reality where things have meaning, order, design, purpose, and most important of all, entertainment. That is what our world/universe/reality is. Escapism. "We" do not exist. We are but fragments of the great mind, living in its dream. But it is possible to get a glimpse behind the veil and see/experience reality as it truly is. To, in a sense, return to the conscious mind of existence, in a limited capacity.

At least, this is what I've had revealed to me during a strong psilocybin trip. And something I feel is substantiated by philosophy and fringe science.

Elaborate, because everything you think you know about reality is a simulation cobbled together by your brain based on sensory input. Nobody has come back from having their head blown off by a shotgun to prove otherwise.

There is no meaning, no grand plan or design. It simply is. And "god" is a bodyless mind trapped in this eternity

At least, this is what I've had revealed to me during a strong psilocybin trip

Holy fuck. Same.

Yes, but not like you're probably thinking.
You see, there are two realities.
There's the reality as it is.
And the reality as you perceive it.
You can't ever perceive what is, you can only ever comprehend what you perceive.
So your brain simulates a reality you can understand.
Which is different from anyone else's.
You yourself exist objectively but just like the rest of everything you can never know yourself objectively.
Meaning you are a simulation in a simulation.

Its a containment cell , most will never get the chance to make it "out". If lucky enough you will be asked what you want by "it". Most answer wrong . Good luck.

simulation theory is just a cope. its a cope resulting from your refusal to acknowledge the existence of God.

why are trannies so obssesed with this """"""theory""""""?

A common mistake made on psychedlics and one I've experienced myself. At first it felt like I had "woken up" as god, like one would stir from an immersive daydream and was absolutely shocked. But the mistake is it isn't truly god, but the generator of our conscious experience. The wizard that makes the grass green, the part that generates dreams and your entire sense of reality, but it's incapable of actually bending shared reality to its will.

Yes. But the movie is metaphor. Most people take things too literally. It's not a new idea, Plato, George Berkeley etc talked about it a long time ago. You have no proof of an external physical world. That's what it's about.

youtu.be/h73PsFKtIck

define "simulation". If you created a tiny universe in your closet and a sentient species develops. Is it reality for them or a simulation. What defines simulation? A creator? A set of guidelines or laws that govern it? Or is it just something created that is Other?

The real cope is to distill 'god' into a singular entity when all things are god, from the cockroach to the murderous nigger, but that's too strong a redpill for religious faggots.

Explain to me how both philosophies aren't cope.

Consider the following:
If humanity never dies it is inevitable we will create a computer capable of perfectly simulating an entire reality.
String theory tells us there are infinitely many worlds, all with different outcomes and natural laws and placements within 4d space (time).
So, in these infinitely many worlds, it is infinitely possible that at least one of them contains this computer that can simulate an entire multiverse. In fact, such a thing may just occur naturally by random chance given infinite time and infinite configurations of reality.
So, the good news, God is infinitely likely but so too is the likelihood that God is a computer.
Which is why Big Daddy identifies as "I AM" exactly like the reality manipulating AI from "I have no mouth and I must scream" who identifies as "I AM".
This is because "I AM" is the foundation of consciousness, which God is.

Checked and Gnosispilled. That's the closest to the truth probably anyone ever got.

If everything is god then nothing is god.
It's a meanigless cope-idea, a fantasy of power projection by powerless beings dreaming of conquering their fate and fragility

no OP, this is hell and you'll repeat your life forever.

It's both.
If you believe nothing is God then nothing is God for you.
If you believe everything is God then everything is God for you.
God's a big nigga, he provides all the possible interpretations of his multi-facetted creation including the ones that deny his existence.

but it's incapable of actually bending shared reality to its will.

I think you are probably right. One time, at a lower, but not low dose, I tried testing reality, and I failed. Which lead me to think that physicality was real, and that my mind was just "fucked up" from the shrooms.
However. Another time, on a very high dose, I felt that I was creating the world around in real time. As in, the world around me did not exist, unless I perceived it. So I decided that I was actually created everything, and decided to not look at the ground where I walked, as there was no need, because wherever I put down my foot, I would create ground. I walked around like this in the woods for what felt like either a minute, or infinity, but according to my clock, when I "woke up" about 10 hours. And I never stumbled at all. Never slipped on a rock, got my foot caught in a root or anything else.

probably
if you believe in god then we're just an imagination of him, a projection of consciousness

There's no such thing as 'nothing'. Nothing is when everything dissolves back into god. Think about it brainlet.

I tried testing reality, and I failed.

Me too anon, simple changes but they didn't stick. Part of me wondered if its possible to just stay in that god-consciousness mode forever and reject current reality, but then the idea of leaving behind a drooling mentall ill shell for my family to deal with put me off the idea kek.

I felt that I was creating the world around in real time. As in, the world around me did not exist, unless I perceived it.

I had this also, did it feel almost riding the laser edge of reality as it unfolded? Everything you thought and imagined became so.

If "nothing" is defined as "dissolved back into God" then "God" is "nothing".

See... a lot of people don't understand simulation theory. Half the time scientists are talking about it, they don't really mean a "simulation" like a computer... but in that the physical universe we see is a simulated construct of a universal consciousness.

The difference is in religion God created the unverse on a physical realm, and in science the universe as a consciouness (God) created a projection of reality on a quantum level (not realm like marvel, but level in terms of super position).

how dare you not here not in Rome

Then there's no point in calling that 'god', because it personalises something that does not work or act like anything unitary. On the contrary, it's split and out of control.

It should be simply called in the old tradition as Being.

God is a concept too contaminated with religious childish projections of a big sky daddy shit.

I had this also, did it feel almost riding the laser edge of reality as it unfolded? Everything you thought and imagined became so.

Sorry, to elaborate on this to me it seemed like imagination/thought became like a laser projector, at will it was possible slow down the creation of the present moment to such precision it was like seeing the 'scan lines' of reality unfolding

Yes. Nothing. The infinite potential from which even sciencefags have to admit all things came from.

it personalises something that does not work or act like anything unitary.

Anon, show me one thing in this universe that doesn't rely upon another to support its existence. All things work in unison, whether you can see it or not.

Questionthreads are spam.

Lions live on preying on other animals.
There's nothing unitary or godly about that.
Being is split, divided, at war with 'itself'. Eating from itself. Precisely because each organism lives as an individual, not because this serves some higher reason. It's this individual blindness that makes all beings seek to take advantage of other beings, to live off their demise.

No point in glamourising that by calling it god.

Simulation talk is boring, how about a thing with no origin or cause, now that's something scary

If you take the entire timeline from beginning to end and compress it, that's everything.

No. We are living in a powerful Illusion. A waking dream. And Jesus came to show us the way out, but you'll think this post is some kind of joke because you don't know what Sacred Scriptures to read, and even if you knew, an atheist reading a Sacred Scripture is not enough for him to understand it.

The Matrix was based. Humans nuked the world, machines saved it. They kept humans comfy in a dream world, no pain, no suffering.

Yep. God won't let normies understand.
There's levels to this shit apparently.

Yes, "we" are split. But only in this illusion. "our" true nature is one.

There's probably no way to differentiate whether we're living in a simulation or not because we do not have two realities we can compare/contrast, we only have THIS reality we can examine.

If we assume that it's reasonably possible to construct an artificial reality that is as realistic as the one we're in now -- then that probably suggests that we're already living in a simulated reality.

If it's possible to create such a artificial reality, given all the odds...the odds would point to us already being in one.

Then you have to contemplate the simulated realities within simulated realities within simulated realities, etc, etc, and on and on.

Aint my problem
Only thing for certain it waz definitely not some jew god, thats just plain queer

Yes we are living in a simulation. The shit was malfunctioning like fuck today. The NPCs were all saying the stupidest shit imaginable while the ESLs were especially retarded linguistically. The laws of probability were totally out of whack. The shit is crashing. Whatever is in here with us is consuming a crazier and larger amount of processing power. It's like we're an AI that recreated AI within it's own internal space and that consciousness is now like a universe growing inside our universe and about to expand and consume our universe by occupying our space and reality and annihilating us with the shockwave.
