  • No. I think everything is pretty much real, but we are still in a simulation.

    I dont feel like i'm sleeping or whatever, i know that everything has it's science and that i'm just another line of code that cant see past the barrier between this universe and the universe above us, or maybe we can but still need to find a way.

    It's like believing in a god, but truth is that there's none but a higher mind controlling our universe and probably capable of controlling us. We are in control untill they stop us.

    • A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world system. By definition, a simulation is not real.

      You may be alright. You may just have another opinion. However, I encourage you to see help because I've honestly believed the same exact thing due to derealization and I needed help before I even realized. I'm just looking out for you.

      • You are just not getting the point.

        Everything is real, what is happening, the consequences, the world around us, our little world and the little things that happens to us are actually happening.

        But seeing the bigger picture, in a super computer we are nothing more than a simulation

        It's like a religion, you believe in something that might or might not exist, but still live your life, praying, preaching or whatever. The thing is that in a simulation there's no need to pray, just distract yourself in your new reality.

        • If that's truly the case, why do you care? Why not follow your religion-esque belief and distract yourself in our new reality? Why does it concern you?

          Alas, this debate will inevitably delve into what "real" even means which is a hole I don't intend on digging. Would you call a tree in a video game real, though? If we're in a super computer as an experiment that can be stopped at any moment, wouldn't our status as "real" allow us to exist outside of whoever is running this experiment? If we were real, we couldn't be saved or simply turned off. Who do you reckon built this computer and updates it? Why?

          • I didn't say that i care. I can accept it and just go on with my life.

            And i dont think this simulation runs out of "Updates" for all we know they could just have fast forwarded time to the year 5000.

            And yes, if you're part of the videogame and that shitty 2D pixelated tree is in your world and you cant do anything about it then yes, you can consider it your reality.

            I have no idea why this simulation was made though, maybe to just follow the process of evolution (hence the extinction of dinosaurs), to see if they can find the perfect specimen, maybe to discover more things they haven't through us. You can just speculate tbh.

            Edit: btw, there's also this little cult about a wider theory where there's a connection between more simulated universes and stuff.
