its more probable than any of these religions

>>722932536
Yes, it is better than religion. Its all makes sense to a modern human in tune with technology. The archaic concept of religion is fading fast

>>722931285
I've had the same thought thinking what it would be like to perfect virtual reality to the point of not being able to distinguish it from our own reality.

>>722931285
I think you watched The Matrix one time too many.

>>722933989
This is precisely the truth. And when your brain has its receptors full of psychoactive drugs , you can see it more and more clearer. Not even just hallucinogens, most drugs.

If our dimension truelynis similar to that of a simulation, are you unsatisfied with reality to the point that you think would it be worth redpilling yourself? What do you think the consequences of that would be?

>>722934059
Nothing to do with the matrix. This isnt a fictional blockbuster movie. This is observational logic .

>>722934226
Ahh, so THAT'S what it is. You watched The Matrix while high. Figures.

>>722934309
>observational "logic" on Scientology levels of "MUH BIGGER TRUTH! IT'S OUT THERE!"
Calm the fuck down, Mulder.

>>722934307
I'm happy with it. I'd say I will just keep seeking not even go full blown truth. Just journey on with my own focused inteterests.

>>722933989
>perfect virtual reality
>implying you even need that

You haven't taken Philosophy ever, have you?

>>722934448
How the fuck do you think newton and Einstein found out what they did . With almost nothing.. You can do it from within . You're an idi

>>722934609
>implying Newton and Einstein said "DUDE IT'S OBVIOUS. YOU JUST HAVE TO GET REALLY FUCKING HIGH, YOU'LL SEE!"
Adding delusions of grandeur to the list...

>>722934535
Actually I have taken several philosophy classes including existentialism. I'm not implying that our reality is like virtual reality, but just that thought of ticking our minds into thinking a reality that we create is real. Think about when we dream, in a sense we actively create simulations in our heads and believe we are a part of them however chaotic and unrealistic they may be.

>>722934771
>>722934771
Its not just about being high. You don't have to be high. Today its about being aware that artificial intelligence , virtual reality and processing power is getting to the point to create a close to perfect simulation. Obviously going take a long time to reach absolute. Maybe that is the concept of the singularity . for all we know all black holes may be individual simulations running. So take it or leave it

>>722935113

>Perfect simulation
>Perfect
Uh huh.

>>722935441
Perfect in the context of - perfect in relation to our own simulation we are in. A replica of ours. Make sense?

When humans get to the point that they can trick conscienceness into believing that a man-made simulation is reality, then ops theory will be very plausible especially as humanity progresses further into understansing quantum mechanics and the nature of our own reality. Just remember humanity has a tendency of using whatever the current modern technology is at the time in order to make complex relationships to things we do not yet understand in order to better grasp the idea

>>722935546

Sure, but why would we want to replicate this simulation? That would be the definition of insanity.

>>722935633
If its not what I said. Are there any other wholistic reasonable ideas that you think we are. Think about this, I'm communicating with you, I don't know who or where the fuck you are. For all I know, you are just an AI . I can't prove it from my observations. Or alternatively, I can feel as if I'm communicating with an aspect of myself. Your mind is my mind.

>>722935838
To see if we can do it. Eg science. I feel its the highest achievement to conquer. What is above it? World peace? Ending hunger? Hot chick with a dick? Lol No . this is it. There also may be some monetary gain for entertainment when we reach that time. They may be voyeuristic sick fucks. We don't know yet

>>722931285
This is why college students are fucking retards. No teacher just sits you down and says "your wrong, stop it." You turds get a titty shoved in your mouth everytime you start to cry. Taking 2 years of philosophy....or was it, 2 CLASSES on philosophy and people have to talk you out of believing we are all plugged into a usb2.0 wi-fi Starbucks. Like you have figured it all out...and it's based on a movie...that you didn't have any part of.

>>722936345

No, what would be above that is to create another successful simulation, one that is different than this one.

>>722935839
I agreed with your intuition as I have had the same initiation myself. I used the perfected virtual reality relation to help better understand it.

And from my perspective, touché. Maybe all consciencess is essentially connected to the point where your mind is my mind. If we both born in the same body under the same exact circumstances and experiences in life we might as well be the same person. But our perspectives are likely very different because that isn't the case, so in a sense that keeps our consciences separate to a certain extent.

I'm a graphic designer. Self taught. I run a business. Get fucked

>>722936421
The interesting part is that the movie is actually made because of this theory which dates about a couple of decades in the past, the fact that you are to stupid to figure out that there was a theory before the film proves that you are a fucking dipshit. Not the same anon but I am sure he would have replied to you the same way.

>>722931285
>This reality we all share is a simulation via quantum computation.
Uhm, this is not something we don't know already.

Question : what are ghosts ? and what happens after we die in this simulated world? We all know so many stories about nde's. Also, what's and how's real world ?

>>722936558
I see the ability to program "empty space" then whatever parameters they want. This lends to the multiverse theory also. It all points to the same conclusion. Its all top tier quantum computation

>>722936421
Yep, how dare people try and think freely and share theories about the objective truth of our own reality. You should get over yourself lol

You mean the movie was based on something that someone wrote years ago?!! Ohhhh mah gawd thanks for clearing that up. I had no clue. Wow. This is groundbreaking. Can't believe it. They don't credit the story at the end of the matrix either? Oh wait....THEY DID?!

There's 1 in a billion chance that we are not living in a simulated reality.

let's face it, we have no idea what is going on and we won't until long after both of us are dead. we're not in the matrix, there is no god. we don't know what is going on and there is no point in trying to figure out what is happening. we just need to be the best people we can be and try to make this world better for the people who come after us

Intuitionally in tune. Eg ppl on phones all day. Etc

This thread is a fucking joke. Some atheist beta cuck watched the matrix while high and wholeheartedly believes we are in a simulation.

Just looking for attention or purpose there OP?

>>722937660
Not OP, but many physicists think the same : that we live in a simulated reality, we have many studies to back this up, even from 1970's

Its purpose . and its not about being high

>>722937784
Of past dead people? Or just people that live in another reality, perhaps simulation and are free to alternate between them?

>>722934448
All you have is mockery and name calling. Not real persuasive. There are scientists irl positing theories that the entire universe and what we perceive to be "real" is nothing more than a computer simulation.
What have you got at stake here that you stand to lose? Or are you just mad this isn't another Andy Sixx or trap thread?

>>722937856
"It's not about being high" well you didn't dispute my claim, so I'm gonna go ahead and confirm you're a beta cuck

I'd like to think that we are all living in our own realities and any truth about the beyond or philosophy or really anything at all is true. They are right when they say "It's all in your head".

>>722937620

As I said, you are retarded

People that just try and get into fights on the Internet do so because they have nothing better to spend their time on and appreciate the attention regardless of the negativity. Don't take it personally.

>>722938335
Agreed, while our stream of consciencess may essentially be connected, our perceptions of our own realities are still limited to our unique experiences that shape our perspectives and make us "us". Perception is reality.

Exactly.

You, are a reliable guy

>>722936421
got a better explanation for the double slit experiment? Also no one is plugged into anything, the entirety of our reality is probably contained within a galaxy size (or bigger) quantum computer (the term computer is broader than your Dell laptop that you use to browse /b/ and jerk off to "pics you shouldn't share" threads)

>>722938832
I mean there might be an objective based reality even if it's one we can't fully comprehend ourselves, and maybe the only way to grasp that full picture would be by bringing all perspectives together to paint a complete picture. But who knows kek

>>722933754
It is literally no different from religion. It is just religion without the allegory

>>722939099
>double slit experiment
Yes, we haven't accounted that particles turn into waves while unobserved. We have found a new layer of physics. It does not automatically mean we are God's Tomagotchi, but merely that the universe is governed by rules different from those we thought we knew.

>>722938721
>>722938742
Exactly.

>>722938832
This. Your perception relies on your senses which are more often than not unique to a species.

This guy gets it

>>722939099
The observervation creates the rendering. When a particle is not observed. For an optimal system, I believe it to be an in built processing or power saving function as such. I think I'm not wrong here :)

so are you arguing for or against simulation theory?

Flip this then. The refresh rate of the universe. Its worked out by dividing the two Planck numbers of Planck space and planck time. It equates to be the speed of light. Get the fuck out.

>>722939786
There is no grand simulation. You are the disposable wetware.

>>722939786
Rendering being a solid state. Look I'm just starting to get into this. I'm not gospel. Compare it to,,,if a tree falls and no one is around does it make sound. Have fun

>>722931285
What r the odds our simulation also has the means by which we can run simulations?
Why would the simulators put simulating in our universe too?
You just assume its simulation because a concept you are capable of understanding.
In reality the real truth will likely be a concept beyond our ability to comprehend.

The difference between humans and other entities of consciousness is we seem to be the only ones that have the capability for self-awareness. I might be wrong on that though

>>722939939
the whole point of the experiment demonstrates that observation affects shared objective reality - the printout is different based solely on whether or not data was recorded. It makes sense to me that perhaps this is some kind of optimization at an ultra low level that doesn't affect day to day physics, but is being detected by these very precise experiments. The idea that base reality has rendering optimizations ... the fuck are you smoking?

>>722931285
You can barely type, chill

>>722940304
I doubt it. Octopi, cetaceans, most birds, higher mammals and primates recognize themselves in a mirror.

We're the only ones aware of where we are, and the only species to delve into existentialism.

>>722940407
Base reality doesn't, but the brain that processes that image does.

just a reminder that sometimes it's better not to obsess over and overthink these kinds of things or you can lose touch with the very reality you are trying to comprehend.

>>722940407
Explain an alternative

>>722941027
It helps to understand what's happening here. Instead of religion. Its not like flat earth theory. This is a useful tool and I have yet to find anything to directly disprove this. That generally happens when the idea is true.

I think it's crazy that when you look up at the stars at night to realize that most of those stars are no longer there while there are many stars that now exist whose light have yet to reach us. If we had a magic telescope that could zoom in infinitely and then instantaneously teleported it light years away from us and pointed it at the earth, we literally could see back into the past and observe things like dinosaurs or the creation of our planet even.

>>722941648
Yo, you got the right idea. I like your mind

>>722941647
Just because you can't disprove something doesn't make it true or untrue. You can't disprove God but that isn't to say God does or doesn't exist. Even with the higher dimensional quantum simulation theory, you could make the arguement that someone turned it on.

>>722940076
Why does it have to be a concept beyond comprehension.

>>722941882
There's more material leaning toward it rather than against it. Eg. Maximum speed, which is light. The quantum computer which is newish, planck length which is akin to a pixel. It goes on and on

Only one thing makes me believe otherwise - thee existence of /b/.

>>72294188
Further , someone did turn it on. The big bang. A universe like us created it. And booted it up. It goes on forever. Whi knows how many cycles trace back to the initial program or singukarity ..God?But the initial first programmer just leads to the same old question - who created god

Op is a tin foil hat wearing dumb fuck, nuff said

>>722942301
True, there really isn't a way to answer that unless the first programmer in the cycle programmed themself, or the first programmer didn't need to program themself because they always existed as an infinite being

>>722942973
Then its. ... Why is there something rather than nothing . The eternal something has been in my thoughts also. It feels as if there has been something always. Lol just thought about the never ending story movie .

I guess it is marginally better to believe in a possible but unknowable explanation based in scientific principles than it is to believe an unknowable explanation without any logic applied, mostly adhered to due to cultural bias.

"...god is a number we can not count..." -Marylin Manson.

The idiocy of this is that we assume a physical device much like what we have devised is needed to make such a simulation. I would argue that the whole of existence is based on collective conscious creation of our universe and the foundation it runs on is the true universe that exists, not this one we experience. Like the brain vs the mind, you can't determine hardware from the experience of its output.

>>722945212

Exactly! Everything has to fit the model of what we know! How else do we ever have new discoveries and inventions? How do we ever improve as a species other than sticking to what we know?

>>722945961
I think it is because we have the properties available in our fabric that is able to simulate a universe with the properties that created it . and so on. It doesn't get any more complex. That is the singularity potentially . the peak of information and knowledge possible. I think we will find out at that time the missing link when we proceed to simulate our own.
