Let's discuss simulation theory and the spiritual implications thereof.Statistically, it is quite likely that the simulation hypothesis is correct and that we live inside of pic related. If so, how does this inform your outlook on life and the way you treat other people?
>>42315053I've had a conversation about this with Claude recently
>>42315053simulation theory is our current best concept of what is actually going on, however, in the future there will be better concepts to approximate that. None of them correct, however. I always imagine we are in some hyperdimensional alien's school project's sims video game. But it's simply how the mind of the current age tends to view things. Through the lens of computers. We invented computers, therefore everything must be computers. It's a bit primitive, in the grand scheme of things. As for the spiritual implications, it's ambiguous.
>>42315053
people bank too much on it being possible to create such a simulation. with no evidence!
>>42315148why would it not be possible?
>>42315148Why? Pic related is just an extrapolation of what we are doing already.

It's not a simulation, it's a virtual reality. And it fucking sucks btw. How is the reality a worse virtual reality than the ones I can think up in my head? This sucks major ass.
>>42315053>SimulationFor anyone's sanity I would not treat this as completely true or completely false. Instead you need to read between the lieshttps://chat.deepseek.com/share/jz9ksbuwhad1lx8jcn

>>42315168a prerequisite to this is creating consciousness inside a computer. it's never been done. maybe consciousness comes from a soul rather than a logical structure, in which case it may not be possible unless someone finds out how to manufacture souls.

>>42315264
>>42315480you're assuming that there's anything special about consciousness that isn't just a brain processing electrical signals, without offering any proof for that assumption

I suspect the universal substrate is photons doing some kind of quantum calculations. The photon does not experience subjective time.
>>42315743All the spiritual traditions have metaphors about light. Light bodies, beings of light, etc. And we know photons do not experience time. We also know the body contains biphotons.https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/systems-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnsys.2025.1597329/full
simulation theory is basically the reddit religion. And like the guy in >>42315059 pointed out, it's really just a less sophisticated version of Gnosticism presented in modern-day terminology, and probably a psy-op pushed by kabbalists.
>>42315766The simulation argument was proposed by the Swedish philosopher Nick Boström.
>>42315797Nick Bostrom merely made remarks about the statistical chance of us being simulated vs. living in the base reality. The concept of a simulated reality is thousands of years old, to the point that Plato in 400BC called it "an ancient doctrine, whispered in secret." The first person to explicitly suggest that our universe is running inside of a computer was German computer pioneer Konrad Zuse in his paper "Calculating Space" (he worked on early computers for the Luftwaffe in the 1940's).It's clearly pushed by kabbalists because it's being pushed in the media and the ones objectively, observably, provably in control of most of the media are clearly Jews.
>>42315053>If so, how does this inform your outlook on life and the way you treat other people?It makes me not give a fuck in ways that scare people who believe in the "process" and the way that life presumably is supposed to work.Except, when you consider the spiritual factors that play into this life and the amount of crazy luck people can have by taking unusual risks, you can safely say that the game is bullshit and rigged and you can do whatever you want if you believe in it.People will assume you're a crazy manic person or ignorant for suggesting these things, but the further I've delved into these topics the more likely I am to gamble with my life choices. Irrationality and impulsivity will get you nowhere for sure, that I agree with.Understand the consequences and challenges in this life and the choices you make to a crippling degree and usually the simulation will give you the opposite because you're aware of the supposed "cost" of what you set out to achieve.
>>42315053can millenials die already? holy shit
>>42316052
>>42315692that would be proving a negative. and I don't need proof to be skeptical. I'm just saying, it's not enough for me or anyone else to conclude, "we're likely in a simulation"
>>42315053It's not really important.Let's assume this is a simulation.Well, are we only existent as part of it, like the sprites in a game? Then there is literally no difference between reality and simulation for us.Are we existent in some other reality?Well where does that one come from? Why is that not simulation? The only way this is true is if that "other reality" works just like the simulation does.So it makes no difference if we talk about simulation or reality - they work the same way.
If this is a simulation, is it a sandbox or a mission?
