1. You have a conscious ego. It’s not like some other person is controlling your character, so you are sentient 2. This implies that even if this is a simulation, your consciousness in the simulation would be a product of something outside that simulation. The obvious example is the person outside the matrix plugged into the matrix 3. And just like the matrix movie, there is a decent chance that decisions made in the simulation affect the source outside the simulation in some way, so in that regard they do matter If it’s all a simulation, and once it ends you are assigned a score based on your decisions, and that score somehow mattered for all eternity and couldn’t be changed, then the simulation would be like an allegory to the life before afterlife | |||

Plus, these experiments have been replicated many times, and their results are consistent with one of the many theories of quantum mechanics. These experiments challenge our understanding, they do not require us to posit the existence of a simulated reality. We haven't discovered any evidence of the existence of the creators of our supposed simulation also suggests that we are not living in a simulated reality. If we were in a simulation, we might expect to find some evidence of the creators, but so far we have not found any such evidence. Yes, Elizondo. Your God is fake and I in fact am your God. NOW EAT THE HORSE PASTE! | |||

You're both kinda right, we're at a point in quantum mechanics where the questions we're asking can't be tested with our current tech, and most likely won't be able to be tested for the foreseeable future. like tryin to figure out what a spell does, without logging into EQ. that's one of the reasons i didn't pursue a career in physics, there's really not alot that we can do right now, and most of those people don't make much $$, aaand the professional sciences are super clicky based on who-you-know like hollywood. I always feel like if i go real in depth with stuff I just end up coming off as a preachy know-it-all and that turns people off, makes me look like a douche etc. i just can't deny the feeling ive had my entire life that the reality i see through my eyes is but a small fraction of the total picture. Like, i know this just the same as i know my hair is black. | |||

1. We are being controlled by some consciousness outside the simulation, in which case our decisions in the simulation would still have meaning 2. We are just AI robot programs within a simulation that can learn, which is pretty much the intelligent design of the Big Bang theory anyway, just a computer version. In which case if it wasn’t God creating us as a test for the afterlife, and instead some other higher intelligence making us like ants in an ant farm to observe, then to what end? Any intelligence smart enough to create programmable AI robot programs in a simulation would already be smart enough to know the outcome, and what all our decision possibilities could be. So again, why would such an intelligence bother when the outcome is pre-determined, just skip to that | |||

I don't even pretend to fully understand most of this simulation theory stuff, but that one is very entertaining to me. Quote:
