Gets even freakier if you imagine that the past might not even have existed. Nobody currently alive has seen the 1700s. The past/history could have been "hardcoded" into the simulation, maybe the simulation has only been running for a few centuries.
Man, I wished the guy who created me had spent a little more time on character creation.
Brandon King
I did DMT once and I thought exactly this

And there's not one piece of evidence to believe this, you're all just neckbeards who play video games too much.

Elon musk gets high and figures out the same shit I do, but I get called a stoner and "psychologically retarded".
They're just words man, signposts to the truth man.
All hail the prime cpu.

well he says there is a 1 in a billion chance we AREN'T sinumlation so he does have that religious fervor thing going on
Jonathan Brown

This is the same thing all religions have been saying. Silicon Valley nerds are just replacing god(s) with technology / aliums.
>god created the universe >advanced ai created the universe
two ways of looking at the same thing
Bentley Thomas
I've always felt like this was a simulation of some kind. For all I know when I "die" I wake up. This reality might not even resemble the real one, it wouldn't have to if I had no knowledge of the real one.
I've also often wondered if some people aren't literally NPCs and have no consciousness. It's how I try to rationalize the amount of suffering certain people experience. I like to think that my existence was something I opted into, and that one can't just be thrust into suffering without having a say so.
Jace Perez
If this were true it would mean that:
1) Memories of past lives = glitch in the system.
2) Reincarnation = when a spoiled brat dies and pays for his character to come back.
3) We're lab rats.
4) Worrying about the past is pointless.
5) The devil is the good guy because he wants to let people be free as opposed to living under a tyrant.
Agree, there's no evidence for it.

Cooper Thomas
It doesn't necessarily mean any of that, in this belief system you don't know the motivation of the creators. You don't know if we're the creators even, you don't know if our advanced selves aren't playing video game characters (us)
Jacob Evans
>And there's not one piece of evidence to believe this
If you believe that simulation of detailed universes is possible, then it seems inevitable that you have to accept that we are probably in one.
And there is some indication that computers will eventually be that powerful.
Cameron Green
>The past/history could have been "hardcoded" into the simulation, maybe the simulation has only been running for a few centuries. How do you know the past exists at all? They could play for just a nanosecond, freeze the universe, save the "game," delete the old universe and move it one nanosecond forwards.
I think that the simulation hypothesis is total junk btw, just to put it out there.
Levi Cruz
Yeah DMT really permanently alters your perception of reality I must say, almost makes you take it less seriously. All I can say is everything seems less real and more dreamlike/artificial.
Angel Howard

If this is a simulation then there may be a way to control it. What if we could be like Neo from the Matrix and learn Kung Fu?
Tyler Anderson
Can we get an admin here to ban CURRENT_YEAR420? He's ruining the server for everyone else.
Evan Rogers
god can just mean creator
Xavier Moore
Just to throw some more cold water on the idea, we already know of things in the real world that cannot be simulated by a computer program.
>Agree, there's no evidence for it. Statistics. There's 1 real world and almost countless real-life videgames in it. So our chances to be in a game are astronomically high.
Robert Ross
oy vey are we really having this thread again like come on man stop being so unoriginal.

This is the type of shit I would think about on mushrooms and then cry.
>if a simulation is possible and most civilizations get to the point where they can run a simulation, it is almost certain that we are in a simulation >if a simulation is possible but no civilization can run one, this is a candidate for a great filter >if a simulation is not possible, that's that
Man, if reality really is a simulation, I'm going to hit myself once I wake up for turning on fucking Hardcore mode. (Schizoid Personality Disorder ahoy cunts)

Those two ideas do not correlate.
Tyler Williams
Now count in the development of processors.
Grayson Campbell
If this really is a simulation then I have to wonder why I would choose to play a game about being good at video games and nothing else.
Jason Young
But does the simulation have to simulate those or does it only have to simulate that article for you to read?
Wyatt Rivera
Has/pol/ ever experienced a glitch in the matrix?
I remember when the gorilla killing became news and I saw the kid was white clearly. Come back to/pol/ and the kid was black.
Of course general Bernstein/ bernstain
Oliver James
This is also what Scott Adams believes. I mean, there's really no way to fully dispute the possibility. I wonder how many simulations in we are
Lincoln Barnes
Explains all the social justics
Justin Cox
Chances are if we are in a simulation it's not a digital one. People keep thinking simulation = digital = video game. There can be chemical simulations, simulations have been done using only cells before. It's a different sort of simulation but I imagine the world is just as real as you think real can be, it's simply a physical simulation created by a surreal nigh-incomprehensible universe above physical standards.
Maybe their digital is our physical. Atoms are their coding language, quarks their binary, ect. Isn't it weird to think of it like that when you truly do think about it?
Ian Stewart
Why am I on lives = 1? Fuck this hardmode.
Blake Campbell
Simulation theory already retreating into God of the Gaps territory?
William Ward
>I wake up
sorry, friend, were all NPCs here. when the game turns off were gone.
If we're all certain we can create human-like AI some day, then it's pretty obvious somebody did it already. That could be us. WOOOOOAHHH
Jace James
Did you steal this from me cunt?
Ian Lewis
We could also be in an ancestor simulation mind you.
If we at some point could gather enough processing power and figure out an algorithm corresponding to the general process of reality (a Theory of Everything really), we could simulate a small area of space with almost complete accuracy from a set of initial factors.
It's possible, nobody at all is stating that simulation of a given area of space is impossible, they're saying it's hard as fuck and at the moment is limited by power and data points to go off of.
That theory is literally impossible to prove.
Charles Thomas
>tfw you're that one NPC that always gives quests but the rewards are shitty because you're too poor to give out anything worth a damn.
Henry Perry
The sky is blue because it reflects from the ocean.
Juan Flores
Well they have some shitty developers
Cameron Smith
It doesn't necessarily mean that they specifically made humans. It's certainly possible, but it could also just be a simulation designed to create many different universes for scientific research, kind of similar to how we use simulations to look into the past or the LHC.
Joshua Cooper
>That theory is literally impossible to prove. Just like the topic of the thread.
Wyatt Cox
Did you ever think that in the future we invent time travel and plant the seeds of life on earth billions of years ago? It's a closed loop.
Jason Wilson
What if you're the only sentient' thing in the simulation - everything else, including everyone you meet - are simulated on an ad hoc basis. Like the simulation only has to simulate Brad Pitt when he's on TV or you think about him, read about him in a magazine etc. And even then it doesn't have to simulate him completely because he's not there and you're not interacting with him.
Same idea with the scientific results; if all you ever do is read about them - even the scientific papers themselves - then the simulation doesn't have to go to the trouble of recreating the 'reality' of the experiment.

Nope. He is wrong. Otherwise I would have leveled up to god mode by now.

Isaiah Russell
South America moved. I lived the same day twice when I was younger. My parents read the first two harry potter books to me and my brother every night, the day they were going to read the last chapter of the second book I was getting hardcore deja vu all day. (without knowing what it was because I was just a kid) When they started reading the chapter I said they already read it to me last night and they told me I was wrong, so I told them exactly what was going to happen pretty much word for word. They thought I had just read it before bed and I couldn't have desert for a week for ruining it for my brother

If they exist before the concept of time, they just simply are. They don't come from anywhere, they don't go anywhere, they exist outside of time.
Like the old descriptions of gods. We are linear mortals with a beginning middle and end; there is no reason to assume that this is the norm just because it's our norm.

Give us magic, fantastical impossibilities and eldritch horrors to deal with, not fat whiny cunts that think they can change classes when they really cant.
