  and honestly, even if it is a simulation, so what? do you have a way to get out? can you even exist outside of it? do you hurt or love any less knowing that? what are you supposed to do about it? give up? lay your simulation body on the simulation dirt and simulation die?

    Absurdism is your friend. If nothing matters in the long run, if all of existence is absurd, why not enjoy the here and now?

      yes, been a fan of Camus’s philosophy since i was 16ish

    If it’s a simulation someone must be running it. Maybe we could get their attention somehow.

    Praying obviously doesn’t work. Maybe if we all stripped naked and just kind of started getting it on in a giant juicy fuck pile that would get their attention.

    And they could make things suck less.

      That’s assuming the someone running the simulation is even aware we are here. For all we know, they’re just trying to model out the behavior of stars and black holes.

        That’s why we should get all up in each others’ holes

      If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing up mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.

      Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.

    Roll up a simulation joint and get simulation high

  Maybe it’s some higher dimensional grad student simulating something to get some plots to add to a poster his postdoc wants him to present at a small time conference somewhere. Our consciousness is just a side effect because he insisted in doing the coding in Haskell.

    That’s so many nested assumptions, lol:

    Assumption table

    1. Graduate student in academia
    2. Running a simulation for data
    3. For a conference
    4. Haskell

    The probability value of all four being true simultaneously approaches ≈0%

      Come on, it doesn’t work like this. You can disprove the funny theory only if you give us an even more ridiculous one in it’s stead.

      Most of it is empty. The trick is lazy evaluation.

        Yeah, it uses a simplified model unless you look too close. That’s how you get those funny quantum effects. Although, I have to say, great sativa, dude

      I mean, if it’s really a simulation, all of that would be… simulated.

        I know; I’m just fishing out counter-examples and counter-arguments. I’m in the rare cadre of participants who like to roam around on the interior of the sim
