in the wild west people stole horses. one time a horse was stolen from the gang who stole them in turn from a train,
when the gang went to deliver the horses they had no horses to sell to the townspeople
to whom did the townspeople turn?

your views
i am the greatest
musician of all time
ask me anything
what is a note?
Those are your view. only one consciousness in the simulation. wego! |

work for food like mushrooms and methylenedioxypyrovalerone. otherwise why work?
if no need to eat no need to work! easy peasy.

[quite]Kurzweil talks about the general evolution of information systems, not humans.[/quote]
hahaha its the same thing. the simulators gain more and more power and the contrails grow longer and we grow smarter and smarter. soon the jetstream will turn and the day of december will be opon us!
dank, i am thinking of starting my own karmic bank. do you have any advice for new businesspeople in this field? do you fear competition? have you yet stared at your hands by the beautiful lake of methylenedioxypyrovalerone and portabello?

One could argue that Nefario has stolen glbse. [/quote]

[quote[Honestly, I'm not sure what idea you're trying to express. Our reality is very disillusioned from the truth, but it can still be found.[//quote]
the simulators can see us but we can't see them. there is no truth, only the phony facade that surrounds us. go one day to a crystal clear lake and run for a mile after drowing yourself in tequila, methylenedioxypyrovalerone, and mushrooms. sit by the water and stare at your hands. now you know the truth.

where there is no truth or true spiritual contact with reality.
There is some. if you mean an electronically simulated illusion of collective consciousness, sure, but it is a phony granfalloon designed to keep us placated and compliant within the bounds of traditional thinking. there just trying to keep us unaware of the truth all around us. |

consciousness is an illusion as is so called "reality". we are a part of a grand simulation and don't even know it. The formal version of the argument requires some probability theory, but the underlying idea can be grasped without mathematics. It starts with the assumption that future civilizations will have enough computing power and programming skills to be able to create what I call “ancestor simulations”. These would be detailed simulations of the simulators’ predecessors—detailed enough for the simulated minds to be conscious and have the same kinds of experiences we have. Think of an ancestor simulation as a very realistic virtual reality environment, but one where the brains inhabiting the world are themselves part of the simulation.
The simulation argument makes no assumption about how long it will take to develop this capacity. Some futurologists think it will happen within the next 50 years. But even if it takes 10 million years, it makes no difference to the argument.
Let me state what the conclusion of the argument is. The conclusion is that at least one of the following three propositions must be true:
1. Almost all civilizations at our level of development become extinct before becoming technologically mature.
2. The fraction of technologically mature civilizations that are interested in creating ancestor simulations is almost zero.
3. You are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.
How do we reach this conclusion? Suppose first that the first proposition is false. Then a significant fraction of civilizations at our level of development eventually become technologically mature. Suppose, too, that the second proposition is false. Then a significant fraction of these civilizations run ancestor simulations. Therefore, if both one and two are false, there will be simulated minds like ours.
If we work out the numbers, we find that there would be vastly many more simulated minds than nonsimulated minds. We assume that technologically mature civilizations would have access to enormous amounts of computing power.
So enormous, in fact, that by devoting even a tiny fraction to ancestor simulations, they would be able to implement billions of simulations, each containing as many people as have ever existed. In other words, almost all minds like yours would be simulated. Therefore, by a very weak principle of indifference, you would have to assume that you are probably one of these simulated minds rather than one of the ones that are not simulated. (New Scientist, 2006) even so a form of reincarnation may exist. i recall too distinct lives at least. i don't recall anything specific about the previous simulations, only impressions. one was a joker with a hard childhood and the other with the generous soul of an artist. the views expressed here are interesting, i may consider investing here in the future. If we're a simulation, what's not to say the level above us is not a simulation as well? And so on. You run into a regression problem of the infinite nature! -Zoey its very likely the simulation is multi layered, the universe is infinitely large and infinitely small to our eyes it stretches out like a spectrum in every direction because we are lost in a simulated middle where there is no truth or true spiritual contact with reality. |

best show ever    My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is an animated series based on Hasbro's popular My Little Pony franchise. The show premiered on October 10, 2010 on Hasbro's The Hub channel, and has finished its second season. This incarnation of the franchise is referred to as the fourth generation, or G4, of My Little Pony. The show was developed for television by Lauren Faust, who is known for her work on two of Cartoon Network's popular and critically-acclaimed franchises, The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
The series stars a unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle, a student of Princess Celestia, the ruler of the magical land of Equestria. The princess gives Twilight the task of learning about friendship and sends her and her assistant, a young dragon named Spike, to Ponyville. There, they meets some interesting ponies, including tomboyish Rainbow Dash, glamorous Rarity, hard-working Applejack, timid Fluttershy, and hyperactive Pinkie Pie. Together, they go on adventures, solve various problems, and learn about the magic of friendship. The series has garnered a cult following, whose members are often called bronies. http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_MagicLocal Thread Rules: No NSFW content or any content of a sexually suggestive nature, no cosplay images. |
