What if we're living inside a computer simulation?

That doesn't change a thing if we do

We could be.
Maybe there's only me and I made u up.

Doesn't really change anything.

then i'd like to be garbage collected

Then you were put there for a reason and no matter how you live your life you are fulfilling the purpose that was given to you. Congrats OP, for the first time ever you life has value to it.

TFW our overlords outsourced our world to robotic India.

The argument is this:
If it's actually possible for us to simulate a universe, then eventually something would occur in the simulation that would cause another universe to be simulated within it. Since there would be more than one simulated universe then we're more likely to be in a simulation than in the top layer.
Simulation theory makes a lot of assumptions so it's not really a theory, it's just something interesting to think about.

infinite layers

>we might just be characters in The Sims 30000

Stay away from pools only escapable by ladder

>>61311303
But would there be enough processing power inside of this simulated universe to sustain another universe simulated within itself?

>>61311181

hopefully it is gnu/linux.

if its only a simulation loli rape and murder is not real right?

good to know

>>61311094

It makes sense. All the previous religions were overwritten in expansions by newer ones. Dinosaurs? Never existed. The fossils were just put in the ground as artifacts.

>>61311303
Depends on what you mean by 'simulate'. Would it not be possible for a 4D being too easily develop a 3D universe like our own. Our reality could be the creation of some youth's science project.

Quantum binary

>>61311351
No, since this involves infinite recursion, it would require infinite computational power.
However, if we assume the universe is infinite, this allows for infinite computational power and hence it may be possible.

Well not if you cleverly design physical laws such that any precisely simulated universe can only run at most half as fast as its parent.

A simple bug in the matrix. But because it doesn't apply to the masses, we needn't worry about them.

I mean you don't actually remember becoming conscious and coming into this world. The only proof that you have that says you were born in this world is your family and maybe a video if someone recorded it. How do you know that you actually exist in this world and its not an environment created by your own brain and we are all projections of your subconscious. what if you are a supercomputer that's day dreaming right now and you created all of this to keep up the stimuli while your human operator went home for the day but to you it seems like 80-100 years. When he comes back tomorrow to wake you up you will forget.

Everything is made so you think you've won but you're still under control.
There is NO way to know if you live inside some kind of simulation.

lets say we are, what difference does it make? I mean c'mon most if not all cheats have to be loaded at startup, though it being a simulation would explain certain things as being glitches

Don't forget that "computer simulation" is a metaphor.

There is more evidence for this being a simulation than there is for it not being one.

>>61311502
Generating half as much data each iteration implies that your new universe is half the size each time.
Not to mention that it will fail to work if the recirsove simulation gets tied to causality somehow (e.g. someone makes a decision dependent on what happens in the simulation, or the simulation is a "subroutine" and somone needs data from that subroutine in order to use it elsewhere)
