RE: (IJCH) My Favorite "Introduction to Simulation Theory" Video (A Butt-Load of Mind-Bending Concepts packed into 23 minutes!)
Have not watched the video yet, but it's on the top of my list that's for
certain. I thought I'd share back with you my favorite video with resp-
ects to simulation theory. Enjoy!
Okay, going to watch your video right now!
Thanks! Will watch your recommendation now!
Namaste, Jaichai
Also it is just bogus, delusional, reductive and simply inaccurate.
Maybe we are asking wrong questions like "where does a circle begin?". When our questions are shaped by delusion, we may knock ourselves on gems and curse them and move on. You can't eat a diamond. But it is worth more than the food. If you are too concerned about lesser and less elegant things, the wisdom may simply fly over the head.
What if emergence is a process rather than an event. think about a mirage. It's not an event. It is a process. It's like the two sides of a see saw or a balance. Side A doesn't necessarily cause the Side B. Hence: Dependent Origination.
That reminds me of Asimov's stories of man creating the ultimate computer, which creates man 2.0 - greatly extending man's life.
After countless millennia, man eventually dies.
More epochs pass and one by one, the planets, stars, and galaxies die too.
Max entropy occurs and the universe as we know it is all gone. Only the void and the computer (containing all of mankind's history and memories) remains.
Lonely, the computer almost powers down.
BUT after an eternity of pondering alone, the computer decides to do this instead:
Using all of the accumulated knowledge and self-learning from billions of years online, the computer says...
"Let there be light."
...And there was light.
Great to see you.
Namaste, my friend.
