RE: Are we living in a simulated reality?
Everything is logic (don't confuse it with logical) logic penetrates the impenetrable. However logic is not bound to just human counsiousness. Even non-living things follows certain logic. We humans if anything we just decode the intelligence, logic is not man made it's far beyond us.
Universe doesn't follow just 1 logic at any specific time it follows it all in the form of superposition, layers, states, and much more. Human mind on the other hand perceive things in certain way. We kind of follow the things we already know and we ignore the things we never had an understanding before. We can't comprehend something that we have never seen before. That's where other dimensions lies, that's where other portals open. That's why we don't understand anything. No we are not living in a simulated world but our current world is so close to simulation that our mind is mixing both into 1 and if some would argue that "you don't know shit world might be simulation of higher levels in which the figment of matter was created by higher intelligence" well then he might be correct but then tell what do you call reality?
If you accept that there is a God in this world of course he was always there since the beginning of eternity and the relms where he exists you call it reality and call everything else as simulation then you're just getting fooled by your own mind.
We are not living in simulated world, that's a fact.
Your comment makes a lot of sense. I don't quite understand how you say that the universe doesn't follow one logic. Are you saying that there is more than one logic? As I understand, superposition is not a form of logic. It is a technique employed so we can understand how a system or thing works. You use a known and replace a variable with that known to try and see what happens differently. In a nut shell, we have elements that we have already studied and we understand how their 'logic'. We interpose these with elements we don't know their 'logic' and see what changes. By studying the change, we strive to understand the logic behind the change. I can't see there being 'multiple' logic my opinion is there is only one logic that applies to all. We are charge to understand how that logic applies to different things.
I am not a believer in the theory that we live in the 'matrix' but I am sympathetic to there being a God. Perhaps you are correct that I am living in a delusion but given my circumstances that is the best I can surmise using my logic.
How do you understand superposition as superposition and not not as gravity? Cos superposition has its own logic and gravity has its own, I was about that logic, it's hard to explain. When I said there are more than one logic, I meant something like when it comes to light. Light shows both particle as well as wave property. I have a weird way of understanding my surroundings, a rather dumb way you can call it. Everything is not one, it might be once but we are moving further from that state. There is something microscopic, something that might be figured out using quantum physics but we are not that advanced in that field just yet. As far as I know only ancient Hindus got anywhere near to it they called it something like "sukshma vigyana" or something like that.
There's a theory that says entire universe is full of something called aether (or ether) I say the entire universe is full of logic that penetrates everything and each "element" comes with its own subset set of logic. For example let's say iron has certain properties and all those properties combined in a set makes iron, iron and all those properties (know and unknown) combinedly makes a sense out of the "intelligence" that iron contains that "sense" about iron is logic of iron, In the same way we have a logic of copper, etc etc. Universe interacts in the form of logic (or however you call it, I call it logic, maybe I need to expand my vocabulary?)
See what is know and what is unknown it is all contained with in the universe since day 1. Iron is iron from day one it can't decide to be let's say gold someday, everything is not one. I also believe that iron atoms are different than gold atoms or copper atoms, etc, they're not all the same. If they were the same now a days people can extract electrons and they can remove or insert them into other elements to make desired elements. It's all science right? That's not possible in reality ask all those scientists who tried to do that and failed. There is things much much smaller than sub atomic particles and we just call them energies. I would also like to say all energies are not the same there's something even more deeper .
Now, when it comes to calling world a simulation, it's just simply an error of our understanding on the world. We are too deep in computers now a days that's why we are seeing everything in terms of computers and when we start seeing things through one filter we start to confuse ourselves. Now I'm not saying all this to you on personal basis. I'm speaking in general as a lot of people been talking this way lately. Moon is a hologram and other such stuff, trying to deny the obvious.
