    Can show you the secrets of the universe using a DMT Pen and…

    Anyone else get “Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade megaphone, using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone.” vibes.

    If what we perceive as reality is a simulation the purpose is quite clear, to observe the behavior of overconfident idiots unfettered by the mediating tendencies of a too reasonable reality.

    Even if we were in a simulation, we only exist inside of it and knowledge of whether or not we are “real” doesn’t actually change our interaction with the time and space inside our universe.

      The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
      From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don’t, their claim is meaningless useless.

        Just because they can’t find exploits in a simulation sophisticated enough to run a seemingly infinite universe doesn’t mean there’s no simulation.
