More depressing is what happens if you do realize you're living in a simulation... You can't escape it unless the creator has the means to convert a sim to something real. You're just some shitty fake bits in a snowglobe.
- ok_dad 3y agoWhat’s the real difference between what we think now, and if we knew for a fact we lived on a computer? Still feels real to me. I guess I would just go on with my life, what else could I do?
- PlunderBunny 3y agoExactly. To some people, it’s an excuse to act in an immoral or amoral way - those people seem to me to be the “sounds smart at first but aren’t really” type.
- fzeroracer 3y agoThis is one of the reasons why I hate the whole simulation argument. It doesn't make a bit or byte of difference if it's true or not. If in theory you could escape or 'abuse' the simulation there's no way for us to divine the intent that it is in fact an exploit or something intended by whatever is running the simulation. It's a thought terminator. It's a way to seem smart while not being smart at all.
- donkeybeer 3y agoIts the "god made it" argument, to which the next question should be "who made god?" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_the_creator_of_God https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_the_creator_of_Go...
- coldtea 3y agoYou're not a creature from the upper level, so the simulation is your reality. So by going outside of it, if it was possible, you wouldn't be escaping into your reality (that was hidden from you), but to your creators reality. So that would be less like escaping and more like going to heaven or something...
