    I've been watching videos about us being in a simulation for days and keep thinking about it. Then it reaches to a point where i find that there's no point for me to be obsess about whether or not my life's a simulation because the moment i fall asleep and start dreaming,then wake up to realize I'm in the same body and life every day, i just know that i won't be able to escape from it. So what if it's a simulation? It still can't deny the fact that I'm still trapped inside a body being simulated. We're pretty much doing what we can and only capable of with this small body of ours. Where we yearn for miracles don't exist unless we try to make one out of it. .. or so, that's what i thought.

      I think the point is liberation. It's the idea that religions like hinduism, and Buddhism preach. Our souls are trapped inside this world. We think we are the body, the senses or the mind, but we are only and only the soul. And unless we liberate our soul, we keep coming back to this simulation. Liberation is ultimate goal. So we are not stuck or powerless. We have a choice.

    I recently went on holiday and stayed in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Never been there before. On the first morning i made myself some tea, and as i stepped outside on the balcony to look at the huge Pine trees, i instantly felt a dark presence around me, the strongest Deja vu i had ever felt.
    Everything that happened over the next couple of minutes, i had already lived. I had stayed in that exact cabin, my partner was sitting opposite me with the same background behind him. I knew 100% i had already lived through the scene. either from a dream or a simulation of some kind. What i do recall was the feeling of someone or something hovering over me, and a dark shadow around me. And then it was gone in an instant.

    This is a fun idea to explore. But it is impossible to falsify. It suffers from the self-reference paradox. (This sign is false.) This is to say that any test being made could be part of the simulation. A test to determine if a test is part of the simulation could also be part of the simulation, ad infinitum. But they are still worth pursuing for the new discoveries that could be made!

      One thing is for sure, if the simulation is real, then the creators should be game designers as there are virtually zero bugs in the 100 thousand years the simulation has been running (figure of human history).

    Strong hints that we live in video games or the matrix or simulation
    1. Everythings on nature are based on math, algorithm and constant. Striking intention so it can be run on some kind of computer device
    2. Everythings on fundamental level are quantized, other means of digitized. Striking intention so it can be run on specific kind of computer device, which is digital computer
    3. It has distinct smallest unit of measures, not indefinately smaller. Similar to pixel in digital computer.
    4. It has efficient rendering technique. Which is only render things when it being observed by the player. Once player is not observing, it going back to code and algorithm without need to be materialized
    5. It has universal 'server tick' to synchronize everything and to avoid inconsistency around the simulated world. which is speed of light.
    6. Since space and time are the output of algorithm, Anything unrelated to wolrd rendering algorithm, are not bound with space and time and can communicate instantly since it run outside the rendering algorithm. Such as quantum entanglement
    7. Since almost everything is centered around the player, and almost everything is being rendered as per the player pbservation, not only future, but also any past time event is still on a form of code, and being rendered once the player is observing it. Thus, quantum delayed choice was happened
    8. When the player dies, it could goes to spectator mode. Since the player viewport is not necessarily hard coded to the rendered body.
    9. The player could go to different realm or mini games during sleep
    10. There are millions of account and eyewitness, testimoning about them being experiencing some kind of glitches in the matrix
    11. There are literal source code of higher level programming language, written and stored in every living things. That when compiled and run, it will create chemical nano machine that run autonomously based on previously written code.
    12. Religious text that literally said "surely, this worldy life is just a game play, and the hereafter is better for the piety, dont they think it?"

    The thing that blew my mind when I read about this is that it may be impossible to simulate a reality, but if it IS possible then we are certainly in a simulation ourselves. This is because if it is possible, given enough time some civilization in our reality most certainly WILL get to simulate one. Their simulated reality, given enough time will simulate one of their own and so on. Given this, we would most certainly not be the ORIGINAL reality, it would be most logical that we are being simulated by a civilization who are themselves being simulated by another and so on.

      Look it up, memories are like electric neurons/ impulses, so basically Mandela effect is false memory, so if you get brain damage etc, the impulses/neurons may be damaged and your memory might change or you might lose your memory. So it messes up your memory by that.

      Clearly, the purpose of the simulation is to see what happens. To learn something. If this is a simulation, it started with the big bang, or probably even before that. The reason is probably to learn how the universe works, find a way to predict how the universe ends.. so they can stop it from ending.

      @@98Zai Exactly, but if you were able to create life in a simulation, with no evidence of other life around them and not knowing themselves where they practically came from (hence a simulation of ourselves), would you give them clues through their surroundings? Or would you let them be able to even think about it (and leaving there a risk to your simulation to possibly "crush" as soon as they find out)?
