My contribution to the idea that we lived in a simulation

2•Gardinengleiter•2h ago
Especially Elon Musk brought the idea of a simulation that we all live in to the table again and again. And people throw themselves at it, are excited, share their opinion. And I want to chime in. I also want to share my opinion about the idea that we live in a simulation.

Now what I contribute to that is this. We live in a simulation and somebody sees us or something sees us. There's an awareness of us, what we are doing. So all the atoms are just an imagination that we have. All the interactions, the fact that there's a Milky Way, that there are stars billions of light years away or other galaxies, that it's all fake and that we just see that because that's what the simulation creates.

Then those people that control us, that see us being in a simulation, are also subject to that. They themselves could be viewed by others. They could be in a simulation. There could be a recursive simulation. So regardless how many times you do a recursion, one constant is that there's no beginning and no end. There's constant change. And even if dying, for instance, meant that you woke up in the next higher dimension, which is unlikely because then before birth, you would have been in this other dimension to begin with and remember it. So you are in this higher dimension, then you are born, then you go into this lower dimension that is being observed and when you die, you go up in the higher dimension, which is unlikely.

But then this game would repeat itself even on the higher level. So regardless how many levels you go, you will always end up being in a surrounding that changes, that is subject to death and birth of everything. So picture that for a moment. Regardless how deep you go, you will always face both sides. And not really sides, but demonstrations of change that is never ending.

It doesn't matter what the idea or narrative or hypothesis is. How do you test the hypothesis.

Make your post relate to my post. Your statement currently does not.
