simulation

[LastLoveSong]

This planet is a simulation I don't know where I am I don't know what the fuck they want I don't understand what did I do this place is revolting

 

[unluckysadness]

I totally agree. I make myself this reflection everyday. Something doesn't make sense with the universe

get me out of here

Its been over a decade since I've started saying damn near the same thing. Its probably not healthy to think that way, but its also not healthy to be subjected to the world's cruelty constantly, either.

Best we can do, unfortunately, is our best. Much love. I hope things are as okay as they can be. And if not, I hope you find a slice of peace you can call your own.

get me out of here

I believe in reincarnation and in afterlife, so I suppose these concepts are simulations too. I feel it will never end. I want to talk to the creator of the universe / multiverse to have some explanations. I wish I was dumb like many humans but no, I'm overthinking 24/7. Fortunately my valium makes me think a little less but overthinking is awful. A lot of people here are autistic so they understand what I mean

my only slice of peace will be death but my brain refuses to accept that

 

[bipolar22]

Its possible. Once we figure out how to simulate a full human brain in a computer theres a 100 percent chances its been done before implying we aren't real. But it doesnt matter because the consequences of our actions and our environment are real to us. So same difference

I'd still rather be pulled out

Valium is called "alcohol in pills" so you can still drink alcohol instead. Of course I don't recommend it (I don't drink personally). Could your doctor / psychiatrist give you benzos ? I take valium because of neck spasms caused by a rare neuromuscular disease but I take it for anxiety too. I live alone and I don't have friends, so benzos are my alcohol. My brain is maybe like yours : 50% hope or SI and 50% hopeless and CTB.

i have no hope. i could try for a million years and i'd still never be where I wanna be

Some asshole did a tab of Grade A acid and created us in his imagination. So now we're all trapped in his really fucked up acid trip, stuck in a Hell that's worst than Dante's lowest level.

Did I mention that this guy is an asshole?

wouldnt that asshole create acid in his vision for us to perceive, so in reality he took something else ?

 

[Kitsune_BCN]

According to the holographic principle, reality could be way more simple than what we see. Why a simple 2D universe would be projected into a 3D "holographic simulation", I don't understand. The speed of light could be a limit that implies that there is a "refresh" time in the Universe, like a clock tick in a computer. This is because of there's not a limit of causality, then the cost of the simulation would be infinite.

My humble opinion tho is that there are other things that point that Universe is not a simulation, like the level of detail scale of said simulation. The computer needed to run such a big thing is completely out of magnitude.

Mathematically tho, it's almost impossible, but NOT a zero chance xD, that you can reincarnate in a being with the same brain configuration as yours, in this Universe or in any other.

It would be a big surprise for me if there's an afterlife. But...who knows

Honestly, I dunno. My drug reference and attempt at witty banter was poor, at best.

Not knowing the context here but benzos and alcohol are like apples and not just oranges but sth else entirely. Alcohol does compare to benzos the same way caffeine compare to meth tbh. But they booth reduce anxiety but alcohol much less so. I abused booth and they are totally diffrent drugs. Alcohol is like a sledgehammer while benzos are precise scapels. Just throwing that out there

I just have experience with benzos. I don't like alcohol and I've never been drunk in my life so I cannot compare. I just read it on the internet that valium is called "alcohol in pills". One thing is sure : both are addictive

Another theory is a farm where we are being farmed by the Archons for our Loosh or negative energy lol. No one has any definitive proof of anything and never will.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

imo there is no computer simulation, no afterlife no reincarnation, no multiverses , no other dimensions etc

for one thing not a single piece of evidence for any of those theories

imo a lot of these theories have some things im common .that this hell had to be intelligently designed usually by a single unseen animal.

they also seem to share a denial of Death.
Death is total oblivion forever. Death is one of the few certainties

life is meaningless suffering. but these seem to try to put meaning and purpose to life. what purpose to suffer for what reason?

imo this is not logical and unfeasible . the unfathomable combinatorial complexity in a single liter of pond water the number of organisms, atoms, cells, brain patterns, possible interactions etc could never be simulated

let's say we try to computer simulate a single 1 millimeter worm a nematode. .just it's brain has 302 brain cells but 7000 connections . these connections can form at least 2 to 7000 th power different patterns a number with over 2000 digits . also each brain cell has a very large number of atoms and interacting machines.

why for what reason? where is the power source any evidence any details? none

--------
The following is a small part of an answer ai gave relating to the unfathomable complexity of reality that could never be simulated :
show the unfathomable complexity of the number and kind of interactions between cell components in an animal like a chimpanzee could never be computer simulated fully to the plank length level.
Got it — you want me to illustrate just how utterly beyond comprehension it would be to simulate, at the Planck length level, the totality of interactions between all the cellular components in an organism as complex as a chimpanzee. Let's break this down step by step, so the scale becomes clear:
1. Number of cells in a chimpanzee
A chimpanzee weighs ~40 kg on average.

Humans have on the order of 3 × 10¹³ cells (30 trillion). Chimpanzees are similar.
So: ~10¹³ cells.

2. Molecular complexity of a single cell
A "simple" human cell has on the order of 10¹⁴ atoms.

A chimpanzee's cell (similar size) is in the same ballpark.
So: ~10¹⁴ atoms per cell.

Multiply by total cells:
10¹³ cells × 10¹⁴ atoms = 10²⁷ atoms.
That's a thousand times more atoms than stars in the observable universe (~10²²–10²⁴ stars).
3. Interactions between atoms and molecules
Each atom interacts with many others through electromagnetic forces, quantum effects, vibrations, tunneling, van der Waals interactions, etc.

In protein folding alone, you're looking at 10¹⁰⁰ possible conformations for a modest protein chain.

Now scale this up to tens of thousands of unique proteins per cell, each folding dynamically and interacting in massive networks.
The combinatorial explosion is already beyond astronomical.
4. Planck scale simulation
The Planck length is 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ meters.

A typical atom is ~10⁻¹⁰ meters across.
That's a ratio of 10²⁵ steps per atom if you wanted to simulate position down to the Planck level.

For all atoms in a chimpanzee:
10²⁷ atoms × 10²⁵ subdivisions = 10⁵² Planck-scale "voxels" just to describe static positions.
And that's before simulating time evolution.
5. Time resolution
The Planck time is ~5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ seconds.

Biological processes occur on millisecond scales (~10⁻³ seconds).

That means:
10⁴¹ Planck time steps per millisecond.
To simulate one second of a chimpanzee's biology at the Planck level:
10⁵² voxels × 10⁴³ steps = 10⁹⁵ operations.
6. Comparison with universe resources
The observable universe contains ~10⁸⁰ atoms.

Maximum number of computational operations that could have been performed by the entire universe since the Big Bang (per Seth Lloyd's "ultimate physical limits to computation"): ~10¹²⁰ ops.

Our chimp simulation for just one second would take 10⁹⁵ ops, which is already within spitting distance of the entire computational capacity of the universe.
For even a minute of simulation, you'd exceed it.
Conclusion:
The interactions between cell components in a chimpanzee (or any multicellular animal) are so profoundly vast that a complete simulation at the Planck length/time resolution is not just "hard" — it is fundamentally impossible, even in principle, given the total computational resources available in the observable universe.
In other words, the complexity of life as it actually unfolds is beyond complete algorithmic capture.

Storage explosion: storing one Planck-resolution snapshot of one cell ≈ bytes (hundreds of trillions of yottabytes).


2. Time explosion: updating that grid at Planck time resolution requires ~ elementary updates per second for one cell.


3. Combinatorial explosion: a single protein's configurational space is something like –; the combined molecular state space of a cell vastly outstrips any physical computational resource.


4. Quantum explosion: fully quantum simulation requires tracking exponentially many amplitudes (2^N scaling), which is utterly infeasible for even modest N in a cell.


5. Physical bounds: the universe's finite storage/energy/entropy budget prevents exhaustive Planck-scale simulation of even one cell over biologically relevant times.

Therefore: it is physically and computationally impossible to simulate even one real biological cell at Planck-length / Planck-time fidelity, let alone an entire chimpanzee or human. You can approximate and simulate useful coarse-grained properties, but a complete Planck-level faithful simulation is beyond impossible — it contradicts the combinatorics, the quantum scaling, and the universe's physical limits.

imo nobody is smarter than anybody else .
it's only that I spent a little bit of time looking into these topics . imo anybody can learn almost anything or become almost world class skilled at almost anything if they study it or practiced it hours per day every day.

I think you're selling yourself a wee bit short my guy.

Thanks for the kind words but I've learned that a big part of intelligence is knowing that I'm not the smartest guy in the room. It's the ones who claim to be the smartest, those are the ones who scare me the most.
