Sup academics.

What is the best way you have personally cheated in higher education, or what is the best cheating story you have? Paraphrasing existing work with Quillbot and passing it of as your own? Saving answers on your T53 and loading macros during proctored exams? Rewriting ChatGPT code and passing it off as your own?

>blah blah you didn't earn your degree

Oh well

Higher education only. No one cares about high school.

Schizophrenia just means youre consciousness is on a higher level compared to the npc. Use it to debunk evolution and brain consciousness theory
>>
Full blown schizo here. You just see things that are so unbelievable but so elegant and simple and it all makes so much fucking sense. Some of the basics I figured out on my own like the colour of different stars defining the personality so you say of what different life might be like in their solar systems but when you see what's out there it's just so mindblowing there's no limit of words I can say and you'd understand nothing from them. I've been posting my schizo nonsense lately but nobody seems to notice. Like if I tell you there are insectoid robots from outer space that turn themselves into organic life you're just gonna say I'm retarded, but literally the only cool thing about my life are my hallucinations and I know what I see is true. I don't think anyone can become schizo, but my method was basically semen retention, extended periods of not sleeping and a fuckton of weed. Can't just sit around getting high though, you need to have a dynamic lifestlye. You'll meet people and things will line up if all you want is knowledge. Reality is so far beyond what our sci-fi has imagined, and some of our sci-fi wasn't merely imagined. You just wouldn't believe, and nor would I if I hadn't seen some of these things myself. I wish you well.

One theory I’ve seen that makes sense to me is that dreams are useful by putting you in situations that you might encounter or to train your responses to the stimuli. Like if you have a dream about being around a bunch of snakes, how do you react in the dream? Then when you wake up you can reflect on this. They’re basically simulations.

to burn off stresses and generally disorganized energy acquired during the day
with more coherent energy, dreams are minimal

>>16869939
anon is right though, not everything needs a purpose it just needs to be good enough in the eyes of evolution, and sometimes a trait becomes useful even though it was "created" for some other purpose entirely, like crying

I never understood this argument. An infinite set of odd numbers won't include the number 2. Infinity doesn't mean everything imaginable happens. *Some* life was inevitable since the ingredients were always there (we're proof of this). *You* weren't inevitable.

If you suppose some manner of adjacency requirement and finite adjacent parallel universes then obviously the cumulative effect could be bounded.

nuclear fusion power has been 10 years away, every year, for the last 50 years. even if you get it to work in a lab, its another 10-20 years before you make a power plant that hooks up to the grid. every claim that you see a talking head make on the internet about it is bullshit to bait investors

if physics was math, then physicists doing "math" wouldn't make mathematicians seethe.

If we are in a simulation isn't the obvious direction to pivot to is research into observing extremely high energy particle events and things at the smallest pixels of our reality to try to force memory errors and frame rate stuttering to get hints of the language our reality was engineered in. If we pushed on enough outlier cases in the simulation where it is forced to process extreme computations instead of approximating it we might be able to reverse engineer the source code reality is written in piece by piece.

Then from their create a malicious exploit

Suppose one created a tulpa as a Godform inside his head to simulate the universe with the laws of physics and science, the same as our universe. A proper simulation of our universe including its ending with the heat death of the universe. It is full of sentient beings. Non Player Characters (NPCs) that can feel pain & suffering

The Godform then finds that his creator is also just a sentient NPC in his world too and humans/living things are just food in terms of energy production and farming akin to bees. That is we are just slaves producing energy at a loss for a stupid thieving and hypocrite god/machine who is clowning with us all. All Energy is loss through dissipation that is stolen by that clown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation

That stupid clown god also controls our 5 senses thus is feeding us a false perception of reality as our brain like a cable tv. That fake god will eventually makes us kills us all. It also moulds all our knowledge by playing with words just like a lawyer would do. That clown also created the laws of thermodynamics so that it is impossible to win the game/simulation. It would also use the fact that we are npcs to harm us & torture us all indefinitely in a place like hell after we die on skewed perceptions & standards because it suffers from black & white Insanity & it itself is a stupid thieving hypocrite.
