is everything we experience just a complex illusion? are we alljust blips and blobs of data in a really big space computer? consider the evidence:

short answer: no. slightly longer answer: the idea is completely un-testable and sufficiently similar to religious thinking that for all practical purposes No.

he seriously just starts making up terminology without defining it and uses it to justify arguments down the road like what mathematician in his right mind would do such a thing

okay, so get this i went out to my shop and started swinging a crowbar at a bunch of cardboard boxes, and when i hit them they exploded with a big puff of dust and like some little bugs and spiders and stuff started crawling out. and when i went to look for the bugs i couldn't find any? hmm... where else do you find a bunch of pointless empty boxes that emit a cloud of dust and bugs that disappear when you stop looking at them?

it is far more likely that your brain is a simulation and all of the sensory input is fake than the entire universe being simulated. the rest of us aren't even here, we're all fake and you're a piece of software that thinks it's a yosposter.

In July 2010, LessWrong contributor Roko posted a thought experiment to the site in which an otherwise benevolent future AI system retroactively tortures anyone who did not work to bring the system into existence. This idea came to be known as "Roko's basilisk," based on Roko's idea that merely hearing about the idea would give the hypothetical AI system stronger incentives to employ blackmail. Yudkowsky deleted Roko's posts on the topic, calling it "stupid" and "dangerous" and claiming that it had caused nightmares for some site users.

if someone wanted to subjugate us the simulation would be instanced and everything would be occluded. no way they're putting people in here together

i wish i was in a flight sim instead of this stupid ground-based bullshit look at me, pumping my legs up and down against hard surfaces like rocks and cement. it's loving dumb. "oh duhhh let me just push myself off of the earth" gently caress that poo poo. why don't i just propel myself because there's a rocket strapped to my rear?

pretty sure you could be describe a black hole Mathematically it's just that we don't know what happens in one it would probably require new math but thats/ the beauty of Meath

I wanna say the math breaks when you hit the center like it becomes infinite although I guess that's describing it in a way
