No.

Just wake up and look at the reality. This is real life that we're living in and there's no simulation that's happening or we're inside a computer game.

As much as others want to get into that image to avoid the current bad situation of their lives, thinking that this all is just an illusion.

But sorry to tell you, this is real life.

sounds like jean baudrillard

I think about this a lot, I think what if we are what does it mean... it means nothing..

and I go round and round thinking about it then I realise from our perspective it really doesn't matter, we feel we experience and we die and its over, whether that was part of something natural or simulated at the level we're at really doesn't matter.

You could say that it would be better if we were part of some computer simulation because at the end of it hopefully, the people in the tier above will learn something from the experiment.

Unless as is in Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy they accidentally turn off the experiment 5 mins before completion in order to build a freeway!

no.

who would design a simulation that includes irrational numbers (pi etc)? the goal of creating an artificial reality would certainly include the ability to have absolutely accurate measurements and values for everything. easier from a computational point of view as why waste computing power unnecessarily.

cant have rounding errors in the universe. its, well, untidy, as well as being inconvenient.

Maybe the goal is to see how we would deal with such things, Pi is not only irrational its transcendental, but it's properties are beautiful. Pi and e could be eastereggs for us to find!

someone wrote a book about a message embedded into pi after some ridiculous amount of digits, had plans for some machine or something. carl sagan maybe?

the ultimate easter egg for sure.

I just had a quick google search, Carl Sagan, Contact I'm gonna check that out for sure!

Thanks

there was the book and a movie based on it. the books far far better of course so read it before seeing the movie, which was mediocre at best.

The Audible version is narrated by Jodie Foster, who I believe was in the film, I don't know if this will be gimmicky. By the looks of things the book is quite short, so I think I will get it on kindle.

No we are not, there is no such thing as something like The Matrix. We are human beings living a life, it is what it is. Admittedly it’s a crappy life atm due to Corona Virus & we are controlled by our governments to an extent but reality is what we see in front of our eyes.

Well, I would say our physical bodies are not the real Us but that doesn't mean we are in a computer simulation. The real Us is our Spirits while the physical bodies are controlled by the Spirits.
I know "someone" who went up in heaven/sky last year(not in physical body)  and saw alot of humans  in something like cages (spiritual cages) while their physical bodies are on earth. The physical bodies on earth are like walking corpses because the spirits are caged already.
   So, our world is much more than a simulation. It's very real and sophisticated... Created by an extremely Superior CREATOR with limitless Powers and abilities.

Its incredibly hard to comprehend, especially if you dont have a grasp of probability or if you have strong beliefs.

Personaly base reality or not we may as well enjoy the ride.

Don't believe the so-called rumors on the Internet. They seem to be very reasonable, but no one can change the fact that: we live in a virtual world is a scam of the century. This is a fact that cannot be changed.
There is also a saying that a person really wakes up when he is dead. He is not the dead person, and he doesn't know that the dead person can't wake up and tell us! Therefore, this statement is not valid.

Probably, yes and no! Did you came across the Interview of Elon Musk about Aliens and Simulation recently? :D

Well, he gave the best ever answer for that question so you can view that completely to get the idea.

In fact, there are many sci-fi movie storylines that are related to the virtual world. What we mean is that we think that the existence of reality is just a virtual reality.
This kind of storyline can make people feel a little "doubt about life", but it is not impossible to think about it carefully. So how to judge whether we are living in a virtual world?

No we are living not, we are living in a free world. If you don'tv believe in free will try and change your habits. For example, you don't like to eat fish, order fish next time for dinner. Life is crazy and real.

A computer program could be made in which we could have what we perceive as free will.

Look at things like Alpha Zero, that thing figured out how to play Chess and Go!

Computers are amazing.

If nothing else its at least good fun to think about.

Our world contains a lot of hidden complexity. For example, we can calculate the properties of protons according to basic laws, but these calculation formulas are extremely complicated. It is really a bad strategy to build a simulated world with such difficult-to-calculate components.

well i sure hope the next simulation im in has ECC memory cuz my memory is shot.

Could this not be explained by AI, giving AI a set of basic instructions to generate a universe, and the way the AI interprets and execute those laws turn out far more complicated than "necessary"?

An Uncreated CREATOR created everything. And HE is a Perfect BEING  that can't be quantified in terms of perfection, size, intelligence, powers, etc.
HE is the source of everything good like  life, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, etc. I wouldn't trust any so called knowledge if it doesn't come directly from the SOURCE.

 

Everything is one. I'm God. I have many eyes, and for an interesting experience I look through microscopes with my countless number of eyes. When I look in this way, each of my eyes is felt as a separate individual, going through its own experience. We are here - these eyes. When we stop looking through a microscope (when we leave this life) - we understand who we really are.

This material world in which we find ourselves is simply an artificially created simulator, a matrix that is needed for our development. Nothing happens here that we don't need. There are certain rules here that are needed for our development. This material world is simply a matrix for cultivating our best qualities (kindness, wisdom, responsibility, conscience, etc.). We come into this series of reincarnations from the most elementary particles, then we move into minerals, then into plants, then into animals, then into people. And we are leaving this series of reincarnations already as intelligent spiritual beings (because before that we didn't have all the qualities that we acquired here).

In short, each of us has their own goals specifically at the level of development at which each of us is. But if to generalize, then we just need to conscientiously fulfill our duties (for example, you feel that you need to do it in a certain way, because it will be right, then you need to do it, overcome laziness in yourself, etc. so you will cultivate the necessary qualities).

So much conspiracy theory to look at actually with regards to what we've gotten into. They are just however theory though. We as part of the simulation could be possible as to how and why God created us. There is no evidence of what life could be after death and if it's just darkness after it then everything is nonsense. If we are in a simulation then there will be a result after it.

There is also a story that we are also in simulation regarding BTC in an attempt to control people so they created BTC and soon CBDC who will take our data. I've only read these on Facebook pages that web3 is the next platform where we can be controlled even the access to the net. Its just stories.

Are we in a simulation?

Yes.

This universe is merely the attempt to solve 1 valid block hash in a unfathomably large blockchain.

Interesting facts: the speed of light is the current block height and Pi is a representation of the current merkle root.

When this block is solved the universe as we know it will end.  ;)

Well, kind of. What we see is a simulation of what our eyes understand and send towards our brain as electrical impulses so we can picture it io our brains and give those images meaning.

If we were in something like the Matrix, do you really think it would be that difficult to do? I mean, getting hooked up to a machine that sends electrical impulses to our heads instead of our eyes.

If sufficient money was destined to its discovery, I'm 99% sure it could be created.

i read an artikle today, that the chances are 50%-50%...

NDGT made a video this week talking about how he firmly believed we are, but how his beliefs are moveing towards we are not, I dont think it matters eitherway.

We think, therefore we are

And that is what All of us must be finding and not those nonsense answers above, Imagine you are in simulation and you don't know how to escape ?

While I agree with you that computer programs are super effective these days and can easily bear a human, we would need a huge system to simulate the whole world history. Free will might be not true and we all just follow an algorithm. But why get up in the morning then? What if we all decide on one day this year where we are going to remain in bed? The whole world would stop for one single day, it would be chaos and mayhem but controlled by us. I really hope we are not in a simulation.

Freewill really exist. You are free to choose between Good or Evil but will get rewarded for choosing either side. Choosing Good attracts Blessings while choosing evil attracts curses. The CREATOR of our World alone defines what is Good and what is evil.  If you do things that violate HIS Commandments - you do evil, If do things according to HIS commandments - you do good.

The Commandments:
1. Love the CREATOR (GOD) of Heaven and Earth.
2. Love People.

If you obey these two commandments, you please the CREATOR, If you please the CREATOR, you get blessed.

Yes, we are all in the simulation, and you - just a set of bytes in it.

It's the thought that keeps me going
