Why are people scared of simplicity?
>”oooh oooh everything is a simulation”
everything is an experience, it simply is.
>”oooh when you dreaaam”
You experience other worlds and create worlds, “paracosms”
I find that Gnosticism actually touches the truth but they do what any religious sect without common sense does and they make things to freaking vague, which tells me to an extent that Gnosticism is also “compromised”.
Dreams offer us a perspective into whatbhappens after we die, lucid dreams specifically.personally as of late my dreams have become more lucid but I fall into debauchery even though when I wake up I ask my self “why”. It seems I have yet to gain full control to prevent said debauchery.

But yes working in world building/ paracosm building before sleep seems to induce lucidity.

If you haven’t pieced it together yet some of you frequent/x/ posters may realizedI’m purple anon, as of late I’ve been hell bent trying to explain the concept of ideal worlds, heavens, paradises and due to a recent thread i wandered into I finally know the technical term…. “Paracosms”, we explore thwm and make them after death, if we cant develop lucidity I suspect we return here and fall for the traps in place here,
>?anons claim we’re stuck in a dream but fail to see what comes next is a even bigger dream where our mimd will be our greatest asset”.

I definitely see your point, but what separates laarping from people who did research and are just posting their views looking for genuine feedback to further expand said views?

Experience is genuine but still a dream, I guess it’d be like saying “everything that happened in the simulation/matrix is real, but it still happened in a simulation/matrix”.
>>
>>42025770
Dream states are indeed Bardo states, same as Death. And the world is like a dream. Great Bodhisattvas can conjure "Buddha-Lands," where they and those who follow them can live after they are done with life. The beginning of the Vimalakirti Sutra covers this. Also you should have a basic familiarity with the Diamond Sutra, I don't care what religion you are, and it is very short.

ok but can you tell me why i get an instant superorgasm when i sit on a toilet in a dream
>>
>>42025770
It's the opposite, namefag. This life is complex. Alternate theories are simple yet distant enough to be understandable.
>>
>>42025880
:v toilet dreams are always liminal and stressful for me I try to avoid them anon so I don’t know how to answer your question.

>>42025892
Nah, when things get complex you tend to spiral and lose cohesion, thats when you’re easy to manipulate. Cult’s always have complexity.

You can tell how retarded gnosticism from just glimpsing at the cast of characters they created for themselves: the monad, abraxas, the demiurge, the aeons, sophia, etc. It's the equivalent of marvel capeshit and that's without even diving into the dogshit explanations they have for their contradictory beliefs. This shit is like crack cocaine for neets and the reason why glowniggers push it so hard.

Saying an intelligence ordered and created reality is far less complex than saying reality, with all of its obvious complexity and self-imposed limits, has no rationale for existence.
This is basic logic.
>>
>>42030095
Have you considered we’re just reality experiencing itself?
>>
>>42025770
lol
>everything is a simulation
you nailed it
>>
>>42030233
You just defined one interpretation of simulation theory.
If we're a limitless, boundless entity experiencing itself then there is no logical reason for any natural laws or order to exist because something without limits or definitions and no capability to distinguish itself relative to anything else (because there is nothing else) would not impose arbitrary rules on its own experience.
Unless that being did in fact have a larger context with which to draw comparison with its own self-experience. E.g., a higher reality. That's a simulation.
>>
>>42025770
Paracosms isn't exactly a simple enough explanation of reality which is why it has been so difficult for you to explain.

Pretty hypocritical.
>>
>>42030388
I feel like people intuitively assume simulation has to imply "fake" on its face, when the difference between a simulation and a root reality is really just levels of abstraction. Everyone is already operating on a hallucinated simulation by default, intelligence immediately produces simulations of experienced higher level simulations, and it's probably just turtles all the way down forever.

I don't think it's intuitive it's learned. People hear the statements of people that are either viewing it as an ideology or don't understand it functionally instead of as a thought experiment or dialectic. Associating the concept of simulation theory with overtly banal limitations like imagining that whatever medium the universe operates in is a "computer" makes no sense purely form a logical standpoint. We call it simulation theory out of convenience, not as a description.
All you have to do to sustain the idea is entertain the notion that in a universe where the laws of physics were just slightly different you could easily create systems that model our own. Basically, that the laws of physics might vary in different dimensions. Which we obviously know they do; they change with time, intrinsic properties, scale, etc.

The dialectic is actually a very basic question that arose in both modern scientific inquiry and philosophy across thousands of years at least. It's telling that such a simple precept is used to compel people to think in ideological terms. Says a great deal about the way thinking is suppressed by groupthink in modern society.

:v I only swore once, surprised you vaguely remembered. I was gone for a while, months? A year? I discovered some concepts that are likely spiritually true somI came back and have been trying to help youn anons learn more about the nature of our reality. To be honest I’m still struggling to understand and it seems easier to understand what happens to us after we die then whats currently happening. I dunno man, maybe I should sleep?

Nah ,a typical cult is using very basic manipulation and brainwashing technique ,
like guilt tripping.
Guilt tripping is used by the Catholic church and vatican jeuits cultists.

Agreed with this.

Explain "simplicity."
Join 2 coordinates points in space. The "simple" solution is to just start drawing a line with arbitrary direction until you eventually find point B. The complex solution is to calculate the shortest path to point B. Yet, the 'complex' solution looks far simpler.
There is no such thing as complexity and simplicity; they are terms coined to describe the amount of time human beings spend to solve a specific problem. There is elegance and inelegance.

simplicity means the least effort required.
look at french revolution. they created this meticulous autonomous execution device call the guillotine when they could've done what we've been doing for millennia. simply just hang them.
if I tell you to buy shit at baker street and you don't know where that is what is the simple/complex solution? you can "simply" ask for directions and be told go right then left then right than straight then left...
or you can just look at a map
>>
>>42039544
>simplicity means the least effort required.
"Effort" is a relative term that means absolutely nothing. Lifting 200lbs is "effortless" for a bodybuilder but impossible for a child. Apply basic logic.
In the example you gave, the simple solution is to keep turning right at every junction until you reach your destination. You're really arguing that the simple solution involves using oral communication? What if you're in a foreign country and nobody speaks your tongue? Or a bad part of town? Now you need to adjust for a million potential variables to reach your solution. It is the most efficient and elegant solution to ask for directions but it's obviously not the simplest.

>>42039656
>keep turning right at every junction until you reach your destination
you were almost making sense until you wrote that
how would endlessly driving around a block get anyone anywhere that isn't on that block?
>>
>>42039744
It's not literal. It's called the "wall following" algorithm it's a classic problem in maze solving and computation. It's the simplest method to solve a basic maze; you iterate the maze by turning right until you reach a dead end or win, and then for each time you fail you iterate in 1 left turn for the very last right turn each time. Each time you fail you add a left turn to the end of the solution and repeat.
And it's extremely inefficient. But the very first gps sat navigation systems used basic algorithms like this to map routes. Nowadays these algorithms are quite complex. Hence why we used to have to query travel routes into a computer server and today we can do it on a watch.
This nuance is why I proposed the modeling of 2 points in coordinate space. It's the exact same problem as navigating a road network but with fewer variables; you abstract a single vector instead of roads. Obviously the most elegant solution is to export all of your computation somewhere else; asking the stranger of calculating your separation vector. But if you don't have that option the solution is extremely hard to derive without an algorithmic approach, which is inherently time consuming and inelegant.
