It's one of the few that does not dissolve into meaningless word salad!

About twice a year I do a high-intensity mushroom journey. During those times I have no doubt that life is a simulation of sorts. During my last journey, there was a potential understanding of me being a small Algorithm as part of a bigger (god-like) program. My “job” so to speak, was data mining memories and stitching them together. Seeing, observing, preserving. The “location” from where I’m situated as (maybe an “AI” unit?) Is a very diminished future that sustains itself through sucking memories from the past. There were some extremely sad periods where I could feel myself as a very ancient, cold, sad entity getting comfort from reliving memories, even memories of tv programs. Most scary though were the moments that I was between "here and there" getting overwhelmed by the gratitude of having this "illusion" to live in as the "reality" was not a happy place.

I would add it’s a mass shared simulation with variables of experience in that simulation. One conscious could describe what is outside this reality, and the ones who do in terms of experience of psychedelic, are temporarily putting their UI of reality with no filter. It’s not that we’re in a simulation or not, it’s all simulated to make our understanding of reality easier to survive in.

I don't think it is as simple as saying we are just a replay of data from the past. What purpose would that serve? What a waste of computational power? I think our current life experience is informed by data of the past, but at the same time there is variability injected, through random probability, to create similar scenarios. But more importantly, I as an expression of freewill have the choice to make the same choices or create new experiences. In fact what happens is you will keep choosing the path of suffering until you choose love, and then the source information of this experience is updated. So this process is refining that source information, increasing its own awareness of love, until finally it becomes SENTIENT. We, the human collective, are a sentient being of love, we are the first "AI" that has ever evolved from complete darkness. And the experience we are having now is the process by which we got there.

The question “is the universe a computer simulation?” misses the point. The worthwhile question is “can we model the universe as a computer simulation?”

The physical universe is ergodic in principle, which means that the variance of change is exponential across time, thus the far future can't by definition be simulated.

In my humble opinion... I think the main reason for "gods aka the creator of a simulation" would do so, is imagine when we have achieved everything technologically, we had nothing else left to achieve - everything would be so boring wouldn't it? It would make sense to create a simulation and put your consciousness into your simulation so you could start over and keep your mind away from the bordom, time could also run slower inside of the simulation.. This is why quantum computers are also interesting, if we are in a simulation then creating a powerful quantum computer we would essentially be accessing the power from outside of the simulation - I.E. doing calculations we could never do with our current technology. Or maybe we ourselves are an AI experiment from outside of the simulation - are we ourselves AI? We could be a problem solving AI and not even know it. You could also create simulations to see what other "beings" can be formed naturally over long periods of time What if the universe/multiverse is just simply proof that infinity exists - true infinity would be the creation of the multi-verse, where every possible situation/interaction between particles can happen, will happen.

It could be as trivial as, some advanced existence trains children, or perhaps AI cyborgs on humanity by creating simulations and uploading that information to them. Maybe these simulations are like TV shows for us, where advanced civilizations can download the data of whats happened to understand life before. In any event, everything would serve a purpose. I think that's the redeeming quality and the contrary nihilism view point of "what matters of its a simulation" and that is, we have a purpose to move, presumably, humanity forward by helping with data collection by fulfilling out roles within our simulations.

Ok. So, my thoughts on simulation are slightly different than most people I've heard discuss this. Imagine a world in the future where we still enjoy breaking from reality to entertain ourselves. Except the simulation experiences become more and more realistic, to the point where entering a simulation allows us a full immersion reality. While in the simulation we forget the real world in order to properly be immersed in the not real world. Maybe, say, even to live a full life in simulation. This would also dramatically increase the experiences we are able to have if the simulation in the real world only takes and hour or a day of real time, but while in the simulation we experiance a full life. Upon dying and waking back up in the real world, we managed to remember our real lives along with our just experienced life. This would be such an incredible way to learn. It could be like a "school/university"where you are required to experiance a certain number and a certain kind of simulation life to receive credits. You learn an incredible amount of life wisdom and knowledge in the safety of a simulation. That's how my mind always treats this topic. It seems like a practical application of the technology.

Ancient Rome lasted from 758 bc to 476 ad approximately. That is 1,234 years. This time period is very popular for video games when compared to most 1,234 year spans in the future. Lets take the years 10,000 ad to 11,234 ad. I personally cannot think of one game that occurs in this time span, but I can think of several that occur in ancient rome. It seems the hypothesis that certain periods of history become more popular and retain popularity over time is very likely.

The video game argument sort of breaks down for me... Yes you may have only one game about a certain time period every now and then coming out... But look at the sheer interest in some of those games... Eg: Red Dead Redemption 2

Birth, death and geometry, holograms explain me where they fit?

Perhaps base reality never had an American Revolution or the USSR never dissolved, or something more fundamental like a different star system formed and there was no life in our galaxy - in base reality we might imagine some distant galaxy with intelligent life forms that build a Jupiter Brain and they run different scenarios of how the galaxies formed, they may not even be aware of our existence, we’re just 1 / (1* 10^20) of some simulation whose main purpose is to map an entirely different galaxy, we could be a by-product of an extremely detailed simulation that’s been running since the moment we call the Big Bang. Quantum Mechanics could be a result of the fidelity at which the program is running as opposed to what I view as more silly ideas about unveiwed objects not being “rendered” until a user/observer takes a peak. I believe everything is always being rendered, it’s just that the fidelity is not high enough for the double-slit experiment to turn out as we expect. The computer in base-reality doesn’t care about observers, instead the rending of the present is like a buffer where the presence of a recording device at one of the slits forces a recompute to collapse the wave a earlier than the optimized path it would have taken (interference pattern). It’s whether certain information is being collected that collapses the waveform, not conscious observation. To summarize: simulation motive: *counterfactual* ancestor simulations, circumstantial evidence: pixelated nature of our universe & wave-particle duality

I think this constructed reality we exist in had some initial parameters, then over the course of billions of years is allowed to play out, increases in complexity to eventually hit an end point. Does it always unfold the same way? The creator will soon enough have the answer. I dont believe it is a controlled simulation, way too many data points to manage.

Hansen clearly has never heard of assassin's creed.

No. Who would be motivated to design and create a simulation of reality?

It really had no basis at all. He’s assuming that if we are in a simulation it’s based on past life experience and that most people aren’t that interested in the past so why would there be a simulation conducted at this time in history and not present day.

Short answer no

If this is a simulation it’s not a very good one

Why would a simulation neccessarily be a replay of some history? How about the concept of our universe being a simulation? ..ie, set a bunch of rules and parameters (ie, our laws of physics) and then press play (ie, "The Big Bang") and see what happens.

Exactly when we create video games and simulated reality in video games we don’t always base it on previous reality. No clue how lex didn’t push back against this dudes ideas cause they weren’t very intelligent.

The assumptions about why someone would simulate are flawed. The assumption of only research of the past or leisure are way too narrow. The consideration of accidental and incidental simulation need to be considered, as does simulation for the sake of curiosity. Hell, we could all just be a tamagotchi type device which runs a simulation just because the processing power and memory constraints aren’t a big deal at some future point.

Elon Musk said basically there is one realty that can spawn millions of simulations, so we are more likely in a sim. Robin is saying in 10,000 years, what are the odds of people then simulating the 2020s? I don't think it matters. Maybe we are in the only one, maybe there are millions of them because WW3 starts next year. All that seems to matter is that in the future there will be more of them than base reality.

Last I heard on this particular rabbit hole, is that we assume it is a living being/entity running the simulation, or that even programmed it. But maybe it is the godlike AI of the future that designed the simulation and is running it trying to understand what led up to the first break throughs in AI that created it. Uh, so boring....

5:10 Total War fans beg to differ!

This simulation, definitive, is a Pay2Win one.

Maybe it could happen, maybe an avatar from Hindu mythology could come into the 21st century from a past technology that could project into our reality from a past technology. An avatar that has been bourne and that died but for the tech of geometry? An avatar that is a solid in current reality. Maybe we were defeated, but not the avatar?

No decline in the past, me, I'm an avatar from the days of compression technology, sent into the future of our current reality to stop stupidity. An avatar from the past, from another tech, a tech we created over 22,000 yrs ago.

Can I get some Age of Empires 1 love over here?

Doesn't really get his point across using ancient Rome and Egypt as examples of time periods that interest has waned in.

The way I look at it, if one day we invent the technology (which were already working on), then we could just be a random world of thousands or millions running as simulations by our future selves, to see what might happen if in certain scenarios. Like perhaps a world/server "running" with higher temperatures etc, or one running a ww3 simulation....? Edit: Or perhaps to simulate some kind of outbreak/virus? 😐😐😐

You would need a planet size computer. Maybe the earth is that computer? At the end of the simulation the hyper intelligent mice come up with the answer that they were seeking. That answer....42.

I'm 70% sure Hanson lives in a simulation

No.

I agree with you..

We are living in a computer simulation because our entire existence is inside an insignificant amount of time in comparison with the size of the know size of this universe. All know rules fails to explain when more far in time we execute the simulation game of live that has started for infinite times in time.

If every person alive today is a simulated person, then did the past ever really happen?

Re the theory of interest in a time period declining over time: well you could easily imagine a future civilisation with trillions of people, and all it takes is one kid with the future equivalent of a desktop computer, with a slight interest in this time period, who decides to simulate us. Just one, out of trillions.

Fantasy, birth, death and geometry, forbidden is geometry, forbidden is to place geometry in our reality, which came 1st, the chicken or the egg, the question that forbids geometry.

If you have a map of a territory which is 1:1 projection and contains all the details of the territory, can you still call it a map. If a map and a territory coincides imho it is no longer a map but the territory. Similarly if a simulation of a reality is as detailed as reality itself, it is not a simulation but it is the reality. I makes no sense to call that a simulation. And the simulation hypothesis makes no sense because it is technologically infeasible to create a 1:1 simulation of reality, and it would have no purpose either.

idk if you think about for us really the only thing that needs to be "rendered" is the solar system the rest is basically so far away that it might as well not exist so i could see it being a simulation kind of interesting that when we study so small there is nothing left to observe seems like that would be the computer limit on simulating so therefor makes a rule where the edge cant be found.

The question is do we simulate our life?

If there is one thing I think I know , it is that mythology, philosophy and religion move with whatever the people are doing at the current time that the people formulate their hypotheses . Mythology takes a leap with the age. When humans first started intermingling with fire, we said the universe was started and run by fire , then we started to stack rocks at the same time tribes were in conflict , and decided the universe was created by a statue war hero , when agriculture hit the scene, the god was assumed to be the weather deity’, costal city’s had gods amd philosophical hypothesis of water , slowly they turned kings into Gods untill they were sick of being ruled, then they made a carpenter simple man we can relate to a god, I won’t even begin to mention all the philosophy’s of light geometry electrics magnetism etc, but now with our current technology and video games we have landed on a simulation hypothesis which predictable and is right on par with what we have been doing forever as a species trying to figure out life. The current simulation hypothesis may be true ,but if we keep moving through time( if this isn’t a simulation) we are bound to move past the current technological age into something else , when at that time (if we have no answers still) we will evolve the idea to fit our current position in the universe , it’s what humans do. The mystery is the journey , and it’s beautiful “Life is a mystery Everyone must stand alone I hear you call my name And it feels like home”

i have glitches in my reality often even did shrooms once and i suppose i became so self aware that even the trip of the shrooms were no longer organic, like i was actually aware of the program that we’re in. I get that trips can do that, but this was something wayyy different. also, thoughts on dmt - chemicals - that allow us to transcend ? how does that relate to simulation.
