Engineering. 

I think in our simulated world, we are programmed with advanced decision tree logic, giving the appearance of free will but also feeling somewhat predetermined. 

 

Soft determinism.  I have a friend who would talk to you for hours about this subject.  I'll ask though... If it IS a simulation but we don't know doesn't it mean it isn't a simulation and is our reality.  Therefore the entire thought process is moot.  Unless someone offers you a red pill that is... :lol:

28. I've watch the Matrix maybe 5 times. I don't base my rationale on that movie, but I bet it's not to far off. The main question is, if we truly are a simulation, do we have a form outside the program, or is our consciousness downloaded. We could have volunteered or forced, who knows. 

 

Do you smoke weed?  Enjoy psychedelics? At one point in time I wondered what if the Matrix was sent to us as a warning and perhaps we all were living in the Matrix.  I was really really really high though :bag:

Question for those that have a hard time believing this. If we manage to create a conscious AI life form, who is to say a more superior civilization didn't create a conscious life form through quantum computing?

Not real weed.  It's simulated weed.

Why would we need to create conscious ai first?  Couldn't you believe that without us creating a conscious ai?  I hate to do this to you buddy but:

Further isn't religion based on the idea of some being creating all of this?  In Christianity the big bang is god saying let there be light.  Then man was made in his image, etc, etc...

That was a damn fine simulation! :lol:

Honestly nobody truly knows, maybe that's the plan, maybe it will be revealed, maybe the programmers will make updates. I believe in "glitches in the system" , speed of light being the maximum processing speed. If we do truly live in a simulated reality, that is kinda fun I suppose. Basically that would mean we have nearly unlimited potential in this reality, we are our own masters. Provided the program isn't designed to abruptly terminate. Maybe this is a self awareness developmental program, and once we have reached our true potentials we are allowed to exit the program after a few lifetimes. Maybe we signed up for this experiment to try and win this simulated game, or maybe we are eternal slaves, it's fun to think about. I think the mandela effect has something to do with glitches in the matrix.

We can believe in it without creating conscious AI, but doing it just proves if our civilization can create conscious AI and advanced quantum computers, what makes you think an advanced civilization that is class 3 couldn't harvest the energy of stars to power their advanced simulation programs.

I also think there are some of the outside civilization that created our simulated reality comes into our reality to play along, with hidden knowledge, etc. I honestly think it's one big game, and we might find out, we might not.

Still not physics...

"We" did... It's called: Tom's Bot.

 

It's just in the shop right now for an oil change and tire rotation.

Eventually we are going to create a VR where look, feel, sound is indistinguishable from our "immediate" surroundings. It will be a VR inside a VR.

That's well-described.

 

Again, I'M A PHYSICIST.  I know this stuff.  I'm published on the subject (quantum and statistical physics).  You are worse than ignorant on the subject.

Sorry, I'm going to follow Sylvester James Gates and Elon Musk on this one.

And THAT is why you're a !@#$ing idiot.  

 

Learn something about it instead of following others.

Following people who are actually accomplished and are leaders of their field is a start, I don't claim to know everything about physics, I've only taken the necessary things to get my degree, and I'm still learning advance physics on my own. However you shouldn't easily dismiss the marriage between ontology and theoretical physics in regards to multiverses or potentially simulated realities.

It might be correct for you, but it's not the flag of my memory. 

 

Can we dig deeper into why you are so certain that your memory is infallible?  I have never met anyone that won't admit that their memory may be faulty.

 

btw I talked to my buddy that is a philosophy professor.  He says you need to read Schopenhauer and that what you are discussing is philosophy not physics.  Physics would require physical evidence which you haven't supplied just personal anecdotes.  If you found a Berenstein Bears book for example or kit kat with a hyphen.

I enjoyed Caddyshack 2 when I was a kid. I can gladly admit now that I was an idiot.

I will admit I fail to remember things if I don't feel confident of that belief. All the ones I have stated I know with the fiber of my being they are how I remembered it. I understand the difference between philosophy and physics, but to understand the basics of physics you have to study ontology. There are physists who do believe that one day string theory or quantum mechanics will explain some metaphysical ideas. Sylvester James Gates is one of those people who are connecting physics with the metaphysics. Like I said, there are some of us who have such vivid memories, they are basically burned into our reality, it's why we all feel something isn't right.
