If what we perceive as reality is a simulation the purpose is quite clear, to observe the behavior of overconfident idiots unfettered by the mediating tendencies of a too reasonable reality.
Maybe it’s some higher dimensional grad student simulating something to get some plots to add to a poster his postdoc wants him to present at a small time conference somewhere. Our consciousness is just a side effect because he insisted in doing the coding in Haskell.
Yeah, it uses a simplified model unless you look too close. That's how you get those funny quantum effects. Although, I have to say, great sativa, dude
and honestly, even if it is a simulation, so what? do you have a way to get out? can you even exist outside of it? do you hurt or love any less knowing that? what are you supposed to do about it? give up? lay your simulation body on the simulation dirt and simulation die?
none of it really matters does it, especially because you can't know if it's possible to leave/exist outside. as far as you know this life is still the only thing that is certain
If it's a simulation someone must be running it. Maybe we could get their attention somehow.
Praying obviously doesn't work. Maybe if we all stripped naked and just kind of started getting it on in a giant juicy fuck pile that would get their attention.
That's assuming the someone running the simulation is even aware we are here. For all we know, they're just trying to model out the behavior of stars and black holes.
If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing un-mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.
Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.
If anyone was curious the reason for "cheese" is to turn black tar heroin into a snortable powder. It's not really well known because people who buy tar smoke it or inject it and if you wanted to snort heroin you would just buy powder form, but powder used to be hard to find on the west coast until fentanyl became big.
Even if we were in a simulation, we only exist inside of it and knowledge of whether or not we are "real" doesn't actually change our interaction with the time and space inside our universe.
The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don't, their claim is meaningless useless.
Theory is that the human (and maybe other) brain creates a simulation of the world experienced through the senses and that 'you' interact with that. Everybody has their own simulation, no code to speak of. Drugs can 'hack' it by messing with the simulation and perception.
Crazy people were spreading stupid shit like this on youtube for decades but I would really like to know why Vice thinks this is newsworthy now. Did the society became so stupid that being an idiot influences is now a valid profession?

Well, a friend of mine took acid with a TV in the room, and it enabled him to see what was behind the signal, between the scanlines, on the other side of the picture. He then saw the message that held the secret to unlocking the truth of the universe.

I remember being taught something that resembles the idea, you wrote, when I took a course on cognition during my PhD. Memory is probably the most fascinating aspect of cognition to me, TBH.
Hmm if I say that if you add magic mushrooms to the mix you can change the simulation to your advantage, will you follow me? I could use the extra cash.
Here, you want a mind fuck? I'll let you have it for free:
Bell's Theorem: The universe is not locally real (either the speed of light is violable or properties of things do not exist until observed). Light simultaneously takes all paths, and so does everything else if given the right conditions. We just perceive "Location" as a property things have because of probability and the fact that all of the other potential locations have probability functions that average out to zero (not a quantum physicist, so probably not using quite the right terms there). "Everything" literally is "Everywhere, All At Once". The world that we perceive is nothing more or less than a vast ocean of waves within overlapping fields. The interference between the waves, the troughs and crests, are the objects we perceive. Nothing is truly as you see it, even yourself. Also, the force of gravity doesn't exist. Time just passes slower near massive objects.
That's the best I can do for ya. First hit's free.
I don't see how these facts of physics say anything about our reality being simulated? Or even contradicting if we really exist etc? I mean they can get your imagination going sure but being able to verify the human experience is the penultimate arbiter
