The more I think about the simulation hypotheses, and the more I learn - the more it seems plausible, even likely
lol I meant to post this on /his/ guess I'm getting banned now
itd be a more entertaining thread on /x/
its just creationism for atheists
>>24985414They gotta start somewhere. Can't blame them for reinventing the wheel
>>24985382Is the world that the simulation originates from also a simulation or no? If yes, where do you end the recursion? If no, what differentiates our world from theirs such that we can make the claim for one being a simulation and the other not being a simulation?
>>24985433Where is god? Where did he come from?
>>24985382the whole conversation is confusedsimulation hypothesis assumes some form of computational functionalism to even make sense at all, you don't get uncertainty about whether you're instantiated as a program or an organism otherwiseunder functionalism, there's no problem with your current observer-moment being instantiated in multiple different locationsyou are not one of these instantiations, you are the observer-moment (continuity is a more complicated issue outside the scope of this post)if the world's large enough (whether via normal physical size, MWI, tegmark shenanigans, whatever) you should expect to be in lots of places, some of which are simulations, some of which aren'tyou should probably optimize for the ones in base realities because they're likely to have more ability to impact futures (though this is the part i'm least certain about)
>>24985382>simulationJust say God. Jews in academia hate bringing up God anywhere because they're saturn worshipping trannies.
>>24985435He is eternal and unconditioned.
>>24985433>Is the world that the simulation originates from also a simulation or no? If yes, where do you end the recursion? If no, what differentiates our world from theirs such that we can make the claim for one being a simulation and the other not being a simulation?Yes, there can be recursively more simplistic universes. Maybe a simulation of a universe boots up here where the speed of light is reduced to the speed of a CPU cycle and the universe is 10% the size of the parent world. Maybe spatial dimensions are compressed, and Planck units reduced to uncertainty thresholds. Every nested universe trades complexity for computational efficiency. There wouldn't be infinite nested universes. Eventually complexity couldn't be reduced further.
>>24985475Doubt it
>>24985483I don't care that you're a left hand path atheist.
>>24985494Lol I'm not. I've sought out convincing arguments from apologists, just haven't found them. I'm poking at you because you're stating your position without justifying it and that's probably because you know you don't have convincing justification and you should work that out.
>>24985414best of both worlds
>>24985382I first heard this in middleschool. People bring this up thinking they are smart
>>24985483It's less doubtful than eternal recursion scienceslop tbqhfam

>>24986148why
simulation is only interesting as a backdrop for a fictional story but thinking about it past that is just a waste of time.its just new gen "determinism" and the answer to the question is the same: so what? you still need to gather resource to survive and your actions have reactions.
