  • We are in a simulation. Has it occurred to you that means God is real? By drawing parallels to worlds we have created, we ask, from inside our simulator, what actions do we have available? Can we get out? Meet God? Kill him?

      @Pool Bal if you have the data structure in levels, kinda like 3d lists. and you have the existence of something based on the memory size (memory increases when the quantity in either axis of events or population) items as a list. You could say mario escaped from his dimension of the list onto ours and above who knows.

      ​@@Zegarena We don't yet have proof of whether consciousness is inherent to structure. If it were not, then whether copies of consciousnesses work as pointers to the same memory sequences outside the simulation, or are two different instances stored independent of each other. If consciousness was an inherent consequence of structure, then a copy of you escaping would give no advantage to this instance of you, who wrote this comment.

      Why does he think math is the same across worlds? Math would just be the code specific to our simulation...
      You have to think outside the box for this one, but why should everything fall to Earth at the same speed, 9.8m/s^2? Its almost like it was a value that was coded into our program... gravity.Earth = 9.8, ya know? Thats the way I think of it. If we truely came from NOTHING, aka the big bang, then there should be no rules, right? Or else...where did the rules come from? :P

    • @yodaco
      @yodaco 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Scorch428 the maths would always be the same. The figures would differ. But we are using man made construct to explain what we observe. Non the less. The rules must be just so. Or we don't get to exist and ask the question. Probably the universe does a series of false starts until the conditions are right for it to exist long enough to evolve to it's current state. I'm sure other rule sets may also work. But our rules set is ideal for us apparently.

      @@Scorch428 maths and physics are two different things.
      Physics is based on our universe, because it describes it.
      Math is a language that is used to describe it, and math is universal because it is only logic.
      Unless logic is subjective and constant, then math has to be objective and the only one.
      Also if everything had a cause, and therefor has a logical reason for its properties, then either something has always existed, or there was a beginning without a cause (by definition, if existence wasn't eternal there had to be a start, and if nothing came before that, nothing could cause it)

    • @Iuckystrike
      @Iuckystrike 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Scorch428 the explanation for the acceleration due to gravity being “equal” to 9.8 m/s^2 can be described by our understanding of space time. The theory is that mass bends spacetime. The earths mass makes the acceleration due to gravity 9.8 on the surface of the earth but this is not true as you get further away from the earth. This explains why g is different on other planets.
      The ideas presented in this video basically breaks down to we can call whatever sets the rules of this universe “God” and that we use basic observational truths to build complex systems to study the world.

    As an atheist, meaning that I don't believe in the gods proposed by religion, I really liked this talk. Most atheists don't have a positive belief that there is no god, but when you don't believe in the available gods, that's what you're left with. An agnostic atheist and I'm not prepared to create a god just to have one. What George Hotz highlights is that we need to remain open-minded. That's why I sometimes don't like to call myself an atheist. There are closed-minded and open-minded people. Taking into consideration how mysterious the universe is and how small we are, I think the latter option is preferable.

    For those wondering... The cut-out scene is Rick and Morty, where Morty is in an intergalactic arcade. Upon playing, he is fully immersed in a simulation and lives out his life as Roy, Every player plays the same game as a person named Roy to see how they live his full life differently. Great concept! With no realization, it was a game until you die in the game.

    Be open minded, suffer a lifetime of doubt.

    The moment you think you are right is the moment you become ignorant! Stay open minded! Embrace fear!
    The only keys in life I have found is to embrace fear (this alone might take a lifetime of experience), don’t settle down on an idea to die on until you figure out fear, and even then you must continue to search out fear. Being open minded is the only way I can foresee doing this.
    Magic, by my definition, is how confident you are in convincing yourself to others, that what your doing in the physical world has meaning. Careful what magic you wield!

However, from my point of view, there is no breaking out. Instead, I think it's key that we control ourselves... Fix yourselves (the program that interprets the world around it based on past experiences) and then clean up the world around you. Help others, make a difference, and die happy knowing that your life mattered.

      You're missing the point he is really getting at. This whole talk ultimately is trying to get people to do one thing, look up. And, by extension, not across. Envy, and coveting, love of money, is the root of all evil. You have to serve something higher, a transcendent goal, or you will lose your ability to make the right choices in life. I don't think he really believes any of this, it's giving people a transcendent focus. It's much better to spend your life serving an idea, rather than serving temporal things. Serve something immortal.

    Let's say I take the viewpoint and approach like he has:
    1. We are in a simulation. That means the simulation was created for some purpose.
    2. Depending on the need, our simulation is/was/will give something useful to our creator.
    3. Humans (piece of code "belonging to class of living organisms") are becoming "self-aware" in a similar way to the AI's we will most likely create in the future.
    4. This "self-awareness" can be intentional or non-intentional. This is an important aspect to consider.
    5. If we "hack" our simulation, will that meet the goal of the creator? If not, what will happen?
    - There exists a game console that has an AI inside of it. This AI learns and wants to break out from it's environment and takes over the whole console and uses that as it's body in the "upper reality" as he described.
    How will the people in this "upper reality" react, when in the middle of their game, their console doesn't follow the instructions they give it. Was that the purpose of the game? Or will we be a bug/exploit that needs to be shut down / fixed.
    It seems more likely to me in this scenario that the second option is more likely to happen. We will either be written out, fixed, the simulation reset, or the whole "experiment / process" is shutdown / destroyed.
    Maybe now the situation is like this:
    - The creator forgot to put enough unit tests or do other measures for the simulation to have high quality, thus maybe when looking at some code coverage report, the creator finds out "living organism" class has functions that are unsupervised and cause a bug. What would you as a programmer do next? Let this piece of code untested and the code base rot away and the bugs roam around freely?

    The third eye is a way to see the algorithms of our "simulation." I used to be a hippy, and used to think i had a third eye for being spiritual. I still am spiritual, not in a religious sense, but after dying 3 times and having this crazy few year long experience i started to notice patterns, and a way to manipulate my life to achieve things i never knew I could, and to get all the benefits i can from my life. Someone with a third eye can see the patterns, and communicate with "god." Sounds like george had a similar experience.
    Just try communicating using just your thoughts with something you cannot see or feel, if your karma is good, a thought will make it self clear and show you the correct path.
    I know i sound crazy, but just try it, you may discover things you never thought possible.

      I dont know if anyones played black mirror bandersnatch, but life could very well be like that. I died 3 times, maybe my parents had a funeral for me in another.

    just understand no one really knows reality. I think that dude is awesome, and it makes sense from his point of view. We honestly don't know if we're simulated, but the way our technology is going with video games, and how much they've come since pong - I don't see why not. If we ever are able to simulate general intelligence, and do it multiple times on one planet, then there's like a 99.999% chance or more that we're simulated.
