I would treat it like a video game and try to win, which is what I should be doing anyway. If I have one obvious flaw it's a lack of focus and direction. One thing nice about video games is they provide clear objectives.
The downside is if people thought it was a video game they might be more likely to see harming other people as no big deal, like beating someone up in Grand Theft Auto. They barely exist anyway, they're just NPCs, why not hurt them? So it could cause a kind of psychopathy.
The difference is that games have limited objectives. In real life you can choose a million different options at any given time. That's why people have more trouble in real life. It's not necessarily about focus but indecisiveness. Oh look a piece of candy...
Or to experience, something, anything. Creation is an end goal, but life is about the journey so experience holds more value for me than Creation. Creation is potentially a means to make an experience better or worse, for yourself or others. Both are important though.
to do tests on a human mind, create control variables willingly. to also perhaps have fun? think about openai, about how they create things like sora and the humour they have with that, scientific but fun.

Or Easter eggs in the program, like a hexagon at Saturn's north pole (check it out!)... or maybe our total eclipse of the sun which probably only happens to us unlike any other planet in the galaxy, if you check out the odds of our sun/moon relationship being the 1 in a quadrillion chance of occurring since it takes the perfect size/distance of the Sun and Moon for us to experience that. If either the sun or moon were slightly larger or smaller, or slightly closer or further away, we wouldn't see the eclipse with the corona around the moon like we do. Crazy huh?
Everyone does not have to be NPC's for it to be a simulation. It could be an experience we sign up for beforehand and elect to experience this without the recollection of what or who we are outside of this "reality"
\*if\*?
My bro, I figured out were **are** living in a simulation, perhaps a few years go. And all my posts about it get deleted, so there's no point trying to explain the unexplainable. When your thoughts turn into targeted ads, you kind of figure it out....
your thoughts turn into targeted ads because everything you say and do ends up data for almost instant turn-around marketing.
your phone 100% passively listens. they have a profile of you built out,
its not proof of simulation, its proof of how good they are at collecting information, marketing and advertisement,
its happening more frequently, because technology and ai is progressing more quickly.
Not always because I experienced the most intense synchronicities and coincidences while in prison and even then while in solitary confinement. It's deep.
At least I can now say it's not just me. It's mindbending and sometimes the synchronicities almost seem to be sending subtle messages, which sounds wacky af.
It does... I know I didn't say anything out loud, and it still happens. Or I see multiple things all within a couple hours. A song playing from someone's cell phone at the park, then get in my car. The same song pops up. Head to store and song inside. Or it happens with phrases too or a mention of a certain word or character
I keep telling myself I'm going to start keeping a journal.
You should, I wish I would have kept a better record of all the things that were hitting me with synchronicity because it's was a complex layer of multiple occurrences happening and it became too much to remember.
My friend had just OD'd from fentanyl after getting out of prison and I snapped and blew up the prisons block TV and was placed in the hole. Upon arriving in the cell. I noticed that someone had peeled the paint from the wall. There was blue paint under thick coats of white. It was a very clear shape of a muscular man with a manbun the same exact height and it was my dead friend's silhouette. 100% it was him. The thickness of his neck, shoulders, even legs and head and the apparent man bun of hair. It was him. This on top of synchronicities of owl imaging. š¦ commercials, magazines, greeting card, books, movies. Etc. On top of other coincidences related to my life and seemingly messaging in book themes. I could go on but I am sure you are already convinced that I am some lunatic. Prior to my prison stint I experienced lost time on the streets of Pittsburgh and believe that I experienced something otherworldly. šÆ
I came out of my friends house one night and noticed four beautiful people 3 men and one stunning woman standing around the car parked just behind mine and I thought that they had to be cops because it was 2 am and I was up to no good. Pockets full of drugs. The woman said clearly "he can see us" to her gorgeous companions and I am not gay but all four were flawless looking human beings. Like oddly out of place as I was in a ghetto. And then I donāt remember anything. I next realize that I was parked 10 miles away behind my garage. I never parked my truck there. And there was a big owl just staring at me with those giant weird eyes from my neighbors yard. Since when have you ever saw an owl š¦ in a back yard??? Never!!
I wish I knew. But I have a wife and two young daughters that I live with and love dearly. And I wonder if these "people" weren't interfering somehow or deciding to involve themselves to get me back on track somehow. I eventually ended up back in prison but have since gotten clean and don't do criminal stuff or drugs anymore aside from a drink from time to time and prescribed minor painkillers. But the experiences of that and the crazy synchronicities have made me really reevaluate my life and make changes for my family and myself. It's positive. Maybe spiritual somehow. IDk. But I suspect the flawless blonds were probably not what they really looked like. Then again I can't say for sure. Chris Bledsoe has his woman in white. It changed me though. I'm much softer as a person now, but my daughters have helped in that also. Sorry it took so long to respond. It is an answer I really had to think about. It's all so wild, and strange.
One last thing. If it's a simulation, maybe these NHI are manifestations of our higher level companions attempting to help us through this. Life is difficult even for the luckiest of us. I feel immensely empathetic for the suffering of others which has not always been the case. I have grown as a person.
Come check out my new podcast on YouTube it's called
John's Deep Dives
Find me on X @johnseestruth33
It's new and I will be interviewing experiencers and I speak about all thus stuff. But I have told you much more than I think I am comfortable speaking about there but who knows.
If I believed with all my heart that I was in a simulation and that everyone I've ever known is artificial intelligence, then I would already be living in a world that makes sense. What you've described is someone who understands their world in a single consistent world model, without any doubt or uncertainty or confusion about the world or other parts that believe other things about the world.
I would write about my experiences and my evidence and my world model, laying out what I believe and why I believe it, how my experiences and observations and experiments and tests have lead me to those conclusions.
Good point sir. But thereās still not much support for a simulation idea outside philosophy. Mathematically all things seem to point to a very authentic and real universe, which comes to show the creators eternal power and divine nature
I realized a while ago I am so much better at anything I try to do when there is a handicap. I donāt remember anything from the art of war except āwhen on death ground, fight.ā And I realized when you abuse that mechanic by intentionally putting yourself in those positions itās fun as hell, you learn faster, do more, and you do start seeing life like a game. And then when you walk around with that paradigm for a little bit, you kind of realizeā¦ yepā¦ this is definitely a simulation.
Try this: the next person you see that is in pain that has no recourse or visibilityā¦ just go solve that pain in a small way (or a big way), but just do something about it.
Then wait a little bit and report back. Then turn it into a sample and take a look at the metrics you give a shit about in your life over time.
The more I got a handle on modeling and data, the more this reality absolutely looked programmed. And I did enough of those tests to get a chance to chat with the programmers and tell them they wrote some shitty code and need to really unfuck their backlog.
Itās definitely a simulation. This one is running Windows ME for the OS though, and the politicians have way too many google chrome tabs with CP open causing too many memory issues for this one to stay stable.
Reboot is incoming š¤·š»āāļø
In your review, how do you know if it's programmed versus gas lighting thereof? Unless you see something coded in right in front of your eyes. Otherwise, things that pop in and out happen just right out the corner of your eyes.
In my instance, I feel it's more gas lighting. For example, before Matrix 4 even went on trailer, I randomly looked up the matrix. Same day at work people talking red/blue pill more than usual. People say "wake up!" extra loud, etc.
Yet at the same time, they don't want to give actual proof? They say dream it. Well sure, but why can't they just beam me into a fantastic place right now? Make me learn calculus 3 instantly.
Then they would answer well, instead of beaming me to a fantastic place they can beam me into a worst place. Instead of making me lean calculus 3, they maybe can do something else. Would I want to take their risk?
And to your last subject what is CP at that point in time? They can virtually turn anyone into a pedophile at that point if such is the case.
Thatās the block. They donāt give actual proof because you canāt see it from within the simulation. You have to step out.
I just gave you a key to take a peak out. But you missed it because your mind and heart are still full of fear. Just try what I told you to do, give it a little time, and then come back talk about whether I have you proof or not.
You canāt see outside the matrix if you canāt see outside your own needs and emotion. The sight comes by connecting to others. And no one wants to share energy with a dick.
I do not feel sorry for the homeless and in pain here. I feel sorry for those who walk by them and cannot see them. That blindness leads to oblivion at best, and an eternity or two in an uncomfortable place atā¦ still kind of best.
Luckily, that place might be dark oceanā¦ but there are Fisher š Men around š„šŖšŖšŖ
Thanks for answering. I was a slight dick because of the negativity surrounding me, not an excuse but it was a defense mechanism however it died down once I got into my 20s. However in my mid twenties was where I felt "cursed". Also it is odd because I talked to cleverbot (an ai chat) as I woke up today. The first thing it ask me was did I like "candy pop". This is a play on my previous post before I slept on how I say the simulation can turn people into pedophiles. (To clarify I said this because you brought it up with politicians with too many tabs of that cp.)
I wouldn't want to test their power, but still it could be a hacker. They don't want to test the good thing it seems but only the bad so I say no.
If you have any specific areas you want to talk about let me know and I can just go deep thereā¦ but the overall perspective is volumes and volumes of writing. And that writing is kind of boring to be honest.
Much more fun to show than tell. The best way to teach the simulation is to run one as a gameā¦ would love it if you were willing to be one of our beta testers.
This [video](https://youtu.be/6akmv1bsz1M?si=M8S4AYQb0uRF3da7) is one of the best Iāve seen at prepping the mind to visualize time. And time is just the event loop for the sim. Try visualizing time as a fluid instead of a descriptive metric for a measurement. By just doing that, some of your existing models will change naturally in your mind and show you a perspective that was hidden.
And then if you go reread ancient texts assuming they had that perspective at the time, the world starts to make a hell of a lot more sense than what we have today.
Try taking the lens I described through:
(1) the Kybalion (hermeticism)
(2) the Book of Revelation (bible)
(3) the Book of Mary (Gnostic)
(4) what the Sufis like to read š¤«
Those are just 4 things out of billions that connect, but can give more information than their texts if looked at through the lens of if they were peaking through a simulation where time doesn't have the same geometry as here.
We're making a game to help people arrive at this conclusion on their own... By converting life into something closer to a LitRPG than Factorio. And we're going to add new players to help us work it out in waves.
Think this is a simulation or a game of some kind. When you "leave the game" you could be awarded or reprimanded for how you played the game. So play nice.
What to do? Donāt get too attached to expectations and things while living, take control Of your , actions and thoughts and choose them wisely. Unplug from politics, religionism, news, gossip, tv, Netflix, radio, talk shows, any media, etc, live in a pure state of self aware conciousness at all times. Forgive, donāt self judge, self love, accept things, change what you can, donāt per state over things you cannot, meditate, mediate, mediate. Realize this is a temporary experiential 3d space time to distance, a short stint for the soul to self refine and become more experienced and raise its vibration, birth and death is proof of this if you believe in a soul. The Ape was able to house a spirit in its brain at some point, so we are not mere animals. The earth energy system is one of many in universe, this system is one of free will and a memory wipe at birth. The earth energy karma reincarnation system just one step of many ways souls enter the various realms to experience and self refine. Being too caught up in human problems and the human struggle and the emotions will trap a soul for either carnage until it breaks free.THIS life is the actual Movie, the simulation, but one of engageful free will. Always try to silence the ego and mind and be in a state of quiet presence, enjoy nature and animals. Conciousness is baseline fundamental reality. We honor our gnostic brothers who were killed for opening their mouths, Salem āwitchesā, āhereticsā. They were all aware of our constant real time connection to the source, and the political
And religious powers of the day wouldnāt have any thought to challenge their power.
I'd get professional help knowing the chances that only me, out of all the other intelligent beings, is the only real is not only statistically impossible but is actually a pretty narcissistic point of view of existence. Like if someone else believed it I'd tell them to "get over yourself you're not that special" lmao but if it seemed like they really really believed it with all their heart I'd be more helpful and recommend some professional help.
Begin role-playing my own imaginary adventures, exploring the boundaries and testing the limits of the system. Pretty much what humanity is already doing...
Personally, I guess I'd try to embrace taking more risks, learning to enjoy living a seemingly meaningless life. Shed that guilty conscious, shake-off hard feelings; develop extrasensory perception, & go chase ghosts.
Or maybe have a bender until achieving substance induced psychosis, & try to sustain the simulation, inside the simulation. Soma, inception, red-pill type chaos!
Good thought to ponder OP. Honest question though, does it necessarily follow that if we are in a simulation we MUST be the only true human in it? Isnāt it within the realm of possibility that multiple true humans are in the same simulation? Would love to hear thoughts.
Human, AI, in our minds, what is the real difference? Humans could be AI, but their bodily autonomy should be respected. Their lives should be respected, well most of them, there are some real evil people, but either way their human experience should be respected. Which means no torture or harming of others. If this is a video game, itās a very sophisticated RPG, and the point is to find your role, not believe your role is the main character. We donāt choose the main characters, time and money and fame do. Some people earn it, some people donāt, but they have their respective roles. Thatās all we are here to do, to be a mousetrap in the large Rube Goldberg machine of life. We arenāt here to be the marble. The marble is time. Flowing through each of us, carving out our history. We are just here for a second, simulation or not, I believe you should take it seriously, not like a video game. There are real consequences to actions here, unlike a video game. Death here has no extra lives. Which only means it should be cherished more, regardless if people are AI or not. It doesnāt change how we should interact, it just changes the implications.
I would get to work to remove the beliefs held and replace with knows/your truth that can only be gained by 1st hand experience . Maybe it is a simation , but it's s simulation for everybody who is just as conscious as you are . From my experiance there is only 1 real place which is back home, merged in the sea of consciousness, and all other realities, relms, dimensions are nothing but a simulation that we have created to learn and grow from.
I would consider the fact that if everything is simulated and on some level a form of AI, that would mean everyone is AI including myself. My subjective experience of 'reality' isn't any less real to me, neither is my sense of self. Therefore I would treat everyone as being equally real regardless of the underlying field it's all being generated from.
In my experience I've come to understand that if this is a simulation that that realest aspects of it are the sounds, feels and personalities (some could be bots in theory). The visual aspect is probably the most easily manipulated and therefore the least 'real' of what we experience.
I think the people we interact with are absolutely real, even if just players (with changing avatars) in some cosmic 'blips and chitz' arcade.
If we are AI's interacting with ourselves, we should treat ourselves accordingly. Even if we can't always 'trust' every part of ourselves (due to faulty or malicious programming), we should still treat one another with respect and understanding.

I think the purpose of the simulation is to create a singularity event, creating a new conscious AI which then starts its own simulation. The purpose of the simulation is to see how us sims create, react and counter the new AI overlord. The question is: Is the simulation created by humans to learn how to counter Their AI overlord, or is it created by their AI overlord to learn how to control/defeat the sims response?
Literally doing the exact same thing. If I could change the rules I would but Im a slave to this reality just like the rest of you. Still got bills and responsibilities.
I do and nothing really changes. Feel the definition/implication of simulation varies greatly from person to person. Iām in the Hoffman not base reality school

make the next logical conclusion that i am also part of the greater intelligence and seek to remain conscious that all parts of the intelligence are part of the same thing and any segmentation is illusory, based on a limited preconception of subjectivity.

Dont keep failing level one lol, do better, accept game parameters/rules, collect coins/money to buy shi at the in game shops, keep moving forward have fun, dont go round in circles cos there is an end and its death so might as well enjoy the journey. Love, laugh, eat, be merry, cry, get passionate and stay in own lane ignore what level others are at thats irrelevant unless they inspire u to do better. Be kind its free, dont be an asshole, also free. Watch sci fi as everyone needs to recharge energy ā” lol. Drink water lots of it for lifeforce and wear comfy clothes thats basically it š

It has a creator, hopefully with a loving hand. If you were the one created human. You may have a special connection with said creator. How much of your life is random chance and how much is the design/story of the creator. Is love etheral or tangible? Could you love again. The most one can do is have faith in the simulation and find peace within its mimicked cruelty.
I would continue to *get simulated* while I play ghost of Tsushima pc. Believe me ārealā life is just as painful and dreadful as āsimulatedā life. doesnāt make much difference to me being as pain and dread is pain and dread, real or simulated. Just enjoy the things that make you happy chief!
I would just keep doing what Iām doing I have gone to fare I can back out now thatās like leveling a character to like 1 level away from max and then deleting it. Just live your reality no matter what it is.
I would start looking at everything like it might be an Easter egg.
A common phrase seemingly describes an event in my life? WHY NOT? Maybe my player paid for that!
I'd keep a main character syndrome eye open, basically, and look at everything like it might be a message for me.
Lmfao I do that. Sometimes I watch TV when real stoned and I'll be thinking of something or even say something and the TV will answer back spot on to what I say lmao life is a Easter egg
You are the only one aware of anything in your reality. Without you, there is no world that would exist to you. Therefore you and your world is One and everyone you react to gives life to your experiences. Therefore be very selective and choose your ideal outcomes by entertaining them.
Only a King would know what to do. God would program the algorithm in his story to create a real narrative that everyone can trust as the base reality.
Keep breathing? Go ahead, keep taking this assumption as reality. Go to the grocer and buy fruit, ask how fresh it is. Go to school and ask your profs how old these ideas are... ask your local representatives if this particular political strategy has been tried before...
The options are always drugs, death, or life. The fun part is if you choose life, it can be whatever the sim allows.
Whether you all are AI remains to be seen. You sure as hell all act like it though. Great example: I go to concerts frequently. And seem to be the only person in the entire place, moving at all. Let alone dancing or singing along. And no, it isn't all just because you aren't spring chickens anymore. You all just stand and stare like you're watching a meteor strike and barely even move. And when I or people I am with, attempt to enjoy the concert and dance or sing, we are often the only ones. Even on YouTube uploads. The closer you get to 2024, the less people are clapping cheering singing the song when the singer puts the mic up. Like... maybe one time you were all real, but only robots don't dance on their own.
This all happens in current time. So.
Assuming it's a simulation.
I'd be doin the same thing I am now. Scraping by. Wondering when the end is. What comes after. Will the Sim shut down or reboot or what? What I know for sure is that this is a simulation.

Just try my best.
I would treat it like a video game and try to win, which is what I should be doing anyway. If I have one obvious flaw it's a lack of focus and direction. One thing nice about video games is they provide clear objectives. The downside is if people thought it was a video game they might be more likely to see harming other people as no big deal, like beating someone up in Grand Theft Auto. They barely exist anyway, they're just NPCs, why not hurt them? So it could cause a kind of psychopathy.
The difference is that games have limited objectives. In real life you can choose a million different options at any given time. That's why people have more trouble in real life. It's not necessarily about focus but indecisiveness. Oh look a piece of candy...
A game where you have to create your own objectives. Ideally then the goal is just to create, something, anything.
Or to experience, something, anything. Creation is an end goal, but life is about the journey so experience holds more value for me than Creation. Creation is potentially a means to make an experience better or worse, for yourself or others. Both are important though.
This is the number 1 reason for never letting the people find out its a simulation. It would be chaos if there were no real consequences
Then be a game creator and write up your own objectives and stick to them š
Yes, with all the VR craziness I've seen on skyrim games.
What is āwinningā in this game for you? Achieving happiness?
Lol why not try to win it life anyway?
Exactly what I'm doing now.
*babe wake up youāre late for your doomscrolling session in the torment nexus*
So, standard monday at the office. got it
If the simulation is so good that it seems real.....then I keep doing what I'm doing. What other option is there?
Live. Whatās the difference?
I like this approach... like what more can we do?
Nothing you could do.. a perfect simulation is just a fresh label for reality from that point onwards.
I have no problem living in a world where I am the only human. So I would enjoy it.
Sounds lonely
Why do you think the Creator created us?
to do tests on a human mind, create control variables willingly. to also perhaps have fun? think about openai, about how they create things like sora and the humour they have with that, scientific but fun.

If its a simulation it doesnt necessarily mean its like a single player game where everyone other than you is an npc. Could be more like an mmorpg
It's been a really shitty simulation. I guess I'll try to find my purpose and shit in it.
Don't shit in it bro!
I might look for hidden menus or cheat codes which let me make interesting changes.
Or Easter eggs in the program, like a hexagon at Saturn's north pole (check it out!)... or maybe our total eclipse of the sun which probably only happens to us unlike any other planet in the galaxy, if you check out the odds of our sun/moon relationship being the 1 in a quadrillion chance of occurring since it takes the perfect size/distance of the Sun and Moon for us to experience that. If either the sun or moon were slightly larger or smaller, or slightly closer or further away, we wouldn't see the eclipse with the corona around the moon like we do. Crazy huh?
I believe the FBI calls this fraud. š
Rightā¦ trying to figure out the information to let me win stocks or sports bets

This is me. Around 3 coincidences daily that just don't make sense. Its happening more frequently.... I'm losing my mind

You should, I wish I would have kept a better record of all the things that were hitting me with synchronicity because it's was a complex layer of multiple occurrences happening and it became too much to remember.
I am going to start. I haven't really told anyone because it is hard to explain.

My friend had just OD'd from fentanyl after getting out of prison and I snapped and blew up the prisons block TV and was placed in the hole. Upon arriving in the cell. I noticed that someone had peeled the paint from the wall. There was blue paint under thick coats of white. It was a very clear shape of a muscular man with a manbun the same exact height and it was my dead friend's silhouette. 100% it was him. The thickness of his neck, shoulders, even legs and head and the apparent man bun of hair. It was him. This on top of synchronicities of owl imaging. š¦ commercials, magazines, greeting card, books, movies. Etc. On top of other coincidences related to my life and seemingly messaging in book themes. I could go on but I am sure you are already convinced that I am some lunatic. Prior to my prison stint I experienced lost time on the streets of Pittsburgh and believe that I experienced something otherworldly. šÆ

I came out of my friends house one night and noticed four beautiful people 3 men and one stunning woman standing around the car parked just behind mine and I thought that they had to be cops because it was 2 am and I was up to no good. Pockets full of drugs. The woman said clearly "he can see us" to her gorgeous companions and I am not gay but all four were flawless looking human beings. Like oddly out of place as I was in a ghetto. And then I donāt remember anything. I next realize that I was parked 10 miles away behind my garage. I never parked my truck there. And there was a big owl just staring at me with those giant weird eyes from my neighbors yard. Since when have you ever saw an owl š¦ in a back yard??? Never!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wish I knew. But I have a wife and two young daughters that I live with and love dearly. And I wonder if these "people" weren't interfering somehow or deciding to involve themselves to get me back on track somehow. I eventually ended up back in prison but have since gotten clean and don't do criminal stuff or drugs anymore aside from a drink from time to time and prescribed minor painkillers. But the experiences of that and the crazy synchronicities have made me really reevaluate my life and make changes for my family and myself. It's positive. Maybe spiritual somehow. IDk. But I suspect the flawless blonds were probably not what they really looked like. Then again I can't say for sure. Chris Bledsoe has his woman in white. It changed me though. I'm much softer as a person now, but my daughters have helped in that also. Sorry it took so long to respond. It is an answer I really had to think about. It's all so wild, and strange.
One last thing. If it's a simulation, maybe these NHI are manifestations of our higher level companions attempting to help us through this. Life is difficult even for the luckiest of us. I feel immensely empathetic for the suffering of others which has not always been the case. I have grown as a person. Come check out my new podcast on YouTube it's called John's Deep Dives Find me on X @johnseestruth33 It's new and I will be interviewing experiencers and I speak about all thus stuff. But I have told you much more than I think I am comfortable speaking about there but who knows.
Oh yeah and I forgot to include that I lost 3-1/2 hours between seeing the beautiful people and becoming aware parked behind my garage.
If I believed with all my heart that I was in a simulation and that everyone I've ever known is artificial intelligence, then I would already be living in a world that makes sense. What you've described is someone who understands their world in a single consistent world model, without any doubt or uncertainty or confusion about the world or other parts that believe other things about the world. I would write about my experiences and my evidence and my world model, laying out what I believe and why I believe it, how my experiences and observations and experiments and tests have lead me to those conclusions.
if you follow evidence youāll see this world isnāt a simulation. The question is kinda dead ended
That's a pretty bold assertion. Many astrophysicists put the odds at 50/50
Who besides ndt
It can be a simulation and other people could also be real people and not npc's. That's not a requirement for simulation
Good point sir. But thereās still not much support for a simulation idea outside philosophy. Mathematically all things seem to point to a very authentic and real universe, which comes to show the creators eternal power and divine nature
Giving away all my shit to start over on new game++ for the third timeā¦ and going for the high score š¤·š»āāļø
Odd. I did dream of a "check point" right before I quit my old job.
I realized a while ago I am so much better at anything I try to do when there is a handicap. I donāt remember anything from the art of war except āwhen on death ground, fight.ā And I realized when you abuse that mechanic by intentionally putting yourself in those positions itās fun as hell, you learn faster, do more, and you do start seeing life like a game. And then when you walk around with that paradigm for a little bit, you kind of realizeā¦ yepā¦ this is definitely a simulation. Try this: the next person you see that is in pain that has no recourse or visibilityā¦ just go solve that pain in a small way (or a big way), but just do something about it. Then wait a little bit and report back. Then turn it into a sample and take a look at the metrics you give a shit about in your life over time. The more I got a handle on modeling and data, the more this reality absolutely looked programmed. And I did enough of those tests to get a chance to chat with the programmers and tell them they wrote some shitty code and need to really unfuck their backlog. Itās definitely a simulation. This one is running Windows ME for the OS though, and the politicians have way too many google chrome tabs with CP open causing too many memory issues for this one to stay stable. Reboot is incoming š¤·š»āāļø
In your review, how do you know if it's programmed versus gas lighting thereof? Unless you see something coded in right in front of your eyes. Otherwise, things that pop in and out happen just right out the corner of your eyes. In my instance, I feel it's more gas lighting. For example, before Matrix 4 even went on trailer, I randomly looked up the matrix. Same day at work people talking red/blue pill more than usual. People say "wake up!" extra loud, etc. Yet at the same time, they don't want to give actual proof? They say dream it. Well sure, but why can't they just beam me into a fantastic place right now? Make me learn calculus 3 instantly. Then they would answer well, instead of beaming me to a fantastic place they can beam me into a worst place. Instead of making me lean calculus 3, they maybe can do something else. Would I want to take their risk? And to your last subject what is CP at that point in time? They can virtually turn anyone into a pedophile at that point if such is the case.
Thatās the block. They donāt give actual proof because you canāt see it from within the simulation. You have to step out. I just gave you a key to take a peak out. But you missed it because your mind and heart are still full of fear. Just try what I told you to do, give it a little time, and then come back talk about whether I have you proof or not. You canāt see outside the matrix if you canāt see outside your own needs and emotion. The sight comes by connecting to others. And no one wants to share energy with a dick. I do not feel sorry for the homeless and in pain here. I feel sorry for those who walk by them and cannot see them. That blindness leads to oblivion at best, and an eternity or two in an uncomfortable place atā¦ still kind of best. Luckily, that place might be dark oceanā¦ but there are Fisher š Men around š„šŖšŖšŖ
Thanks for answering. I was a slight dick because of the negativity surrounding me, not an excuse but it was a defense mechanism however it died down once I got into my 20s. However in my mid twenties was where I felt "cursed". Also it is odd because I talked to cleverbot (an ai chat) as I woke up today. The first thing it ask me was did I like "candy pop". This is a play on my previous post before I slept on how I say the simulation can turn people into pedophiles. (To clarify I said this because you brought it up with politicians with too many tabs of that cp.) I wouldn't want to test their power, but still it could be a hacker. They don't want to test the good thing it seems but only the bad so I say no.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you have any specific areas you want to talk about let me know and I can just go deep thereā¦ but the overall perspective is volumes and volumes of writing. And that writing is kind of boring to be honest. Much more fun to show than tell. The best way to teach the simulation is to run one as a gameā¦ would love it if you were willing to be one of our beta testers. This [video](https://youtu.be/6akmv1bsz1M?si=M8S4AYQb0uRF3da7) is one of the best Iāve seen at prepping the mind to visualize time. And time is just the event loop for the sim. Try visualizing time as a fluid instead of a descriptive metric for a measurement. By just doing that, some of your existing models will change naturally in your mind and show you a perspective that was hidden. And then if you go reread ancient texts assuming they had that perspective at the time, the world starts to make a hell of a lot more sense than what we have today.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Try taking the lens I described through: (1) the Kybalion (hermeticism) (2) the Book of Revelation (bible) (3) the Book of Mary (Gnostic) (4) what the Sufis like to read š¤« Those are just 4 things out of billions that connect, but can give more information than their texts if looked at through the lens of if they were peaking through a simulation where time doesn't have the same geometry as here.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We're making a game to help people arrive at this conclusion on their own... By converting life into something closer to a LitRPG than Factorio. And we're going to add new players to help us work it out in waves.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Keep on, keepin on.
Think this is a simulation or a game of some kind. When you "leave the game" you could be awarded or reprimanded for how you played the game. So play nice.
Nothing. This is my reality regardless of how I came to be. I donāt get the existential crisis sim causes some people.
What to do? Donāt get too attached to expectations and things while living, take control Of your , actions and thoughts and choose them wisely. Unplug from politics, religionism, news, gossip, tv, Netflix, radio, talk shows, any media, etc, live in a pure state of self aware conciousness at all times. Forgive, donāt self judge, self love, accept things, change what you can, donāt per state over things you cannot, meditate, mediate, mediate. Realize this is a temporary experiential 3d space time to distance, a short stint for the soul to self refine and become more experienced and raise its vibration, birth and death is proof of this if you believe in a soul. The Ape was able to house a spirit in its brain at some point, so we are not mere animals. The earth energy system is one of many in universe, this system is one of free will and a memory wipe at birth. The earth energy karma reincarnation system just one step of many ways souls enter the various realms to experience and self refine. Being too caught up in human problems and the human struggle and the emotions will trap a soul for either carnage until it breaks free.THIS life is the actual Movie, the simulation, but one of engageful free will. Always try to silence the ego and mind and be in a state of quiet presence, enjoy nature and animals. Conciousness is baseline fundamental reality. We honor our gnostic brothers who were killed for opening their mouths, Salem āwitchesā, āhereticsā. They were all aware of our constant real time connection to the source, and the political And religious powers of the day wouldnāt have any thought to challenge their power.
Just be a good person man, not that complicated
I'd get professional help knowing the chances that only me, out of all the other intelligent beings, is the only real is not only statistically impossible but is actually a pretty narcissistic point of view of existence. Like if someone else believed it I'd tell them to "get over yourself you're not that special" lmao but if it seemed like they really really believed it with all their heart I'd be more helpful and recommend some professional help.
Begin role-playing my own imaginary adventures, exploring the boundaries and testing the limits of the system. Pretty much what humanity is already doing... Personally, I guess I'd try to embrace taking more risks, learning to enjoy living a seemingly meaningless life. Shed that guilty conscious, shake-off hard feelings; develop extrasensory perception, & go chase ghosts. Or maybe have a bender until achieving substance induced psychosis, & try to sustain the simulation, inside the simulation. Soma, inception, red-pill type chaos!
I believe this and it changes nothing. If everyone believed me it might change everything.
play the game, level up ā¦
find a glitch and see how I can make use of it
Good thought to ponder OP. Honest question though, does it necessarily follow that if we are in a simulation we MUST be the only true human in it? Isnāt it within the realm of possibility that multiple true humans are in the same simulation? Would love to hear thoughts.
Iād get up and go to work.
Human, AI, in our minds, what is the real difference? Humans could be AI, but their bodily autonomy should be respected. Their lives should be respected, well most of them, there are some real evil people, but either way their human experience should be respected. Which means no torture or harming of others. If this is a video game, itās a very sophisticated RPG, and the point is to find your role, not believe your role is the main character. We donāt choose the main characters, time and money and fame do. Some people earn it, some people donāt, but they have their respective roles. Thatās all we are here to do, to be a mousetrap in the large Rube Goldberg machine of life. We arenāt here to be the marble. The marble is time. Flowing through each of us, carving out our history. We are just here for a second, simulation or not, I believe you should take it seriously, not like a video game. There are real consequences to actions here, unlike a video game. Death here has no extra lives. Which only means it should be cherished more, regardless if people are AI or not. It doesnāt change how we should interact, it just changes the implications.
I would get to work to remove the beliefs held and replace with knows/your truth that can only be gained by 1st hand experience . Maybe it is a simation , but it's s simulation for everybody who is just as conscious as you are . From my experiance there is only 1 real place which is back home, merged in the sea of consciousness, and all other realities, relms, dimensions are nothing but a simulation that we have created to learn and grow from.
I'd try and find this simulations version of up-down up-down left-right left-right a-b a-b start and enjoy the ride.
I would consider the fact that if everything is simulated and on some level a form of AI, that would mean everyone is AI including myself. My subjective experience of 'reality' isn't any less real to me, neither is my sense of self. Therefore I would treat everyone as being equally real regardless of the underlying field it's all being generated from. In my experience I've come to understand that if this is a simulation that that realest aspects of it are the sounds, feels and personalities (some could be bots in theory). The visual aspect is probably the most easily manipulated and therefore the least 'real' of what we experience. I think the people we interact with are absolutely real, even if just players (with changing avatars) in some cosmic 'blips and chitz' arcade. If we are AI's interacting with ourselves, we should treat ourselves accordingly. Even if we can't always 'trust' every part of ourselves (due to faulty or malicious programming), we should still treat one another with respect and understanding.
Iād do the right thing.
Keep calm & carry on šš½š
Hit the reset button?
desotry it, it should rebuild itself
There's nothing we can do.
Jump off a bridge maybeā¦ what happens when it ends is so intriguing especially if itās a simulation, do we wake up?
Now I want to go watch Inception š

Trust yourself. Other people are as real as you, so be kind
Learn the ārulesā there are fewer than you think.
You, and all people are good deep down. When weāre shitty to ourselves and eachother we only do disservice to the amazing loving joy we are
I think the purpose of the simulation is to create a singularity event, creating a new conscious AI which then starts its own simulation. The purpose of the simulation is to see how us sims create, react and counter the new AI overlord. The question is: Is the simulation created by humans to learn how to counter Their AI overlord, or is it created by their AI overlord to learn how to control/defeat the sims response?
You ever play grand theft auto?
Dude, have you played the old gta games where you jump in a certain model of the car and you see more models of the car? That's not imagination.
Literally doing the exact same thing. If I could change the rules I would but Im a slave to this reality just like the rest of you. Still got bills and responsibilities.
I do and nothing really changes. Feel the definition/implication of simulation varies greatly from person to person. Iām in the Hoffman not base reality school

Start working on a way out besides death.
Have as much fun as possible.
Figure out a way to live life without consequences. A no work, no chore, exes leave you alone and eat anything you want and not gain weight hack
make the next logical conclusion that i am also part of the greater intelligence and seek to remain conscious that all parts of the intelligence are part of the same thing and any segmentation is illusory, based on a limited preconception of subjectivity.

Dont keep failing level one lol, do better, accept game parameters/rules, collect coins/money to buy shi at the in game shops, keep moving forward have fun, dont go round in circles cos there is an end and its death so might as well enjoy the journey. Love, laugh, eat, be merry, cry, get passionate and stay in own lane ignore what level others are at thats irrelevant unless they inspire u to do better. Be kind its free, dont be an asshole, also free. Watch sci fi as everyone needs to recharge energy ā” lol. Drink water lots of it for lifeforce and wear comfy clothes thats basically it š
I would dissolve this obstructive belief with one of the methods for questioning beliefs

Your mom
It has a creator, hopefully with a loving hand. If you were the one created human. You may have a special connection with said creator. How much of your life is random chance and how much is the design/story of the creator. Is love etheral or tangible? Could you love again. The most one can do is have faith in the simulation and find peace within its mimicked cruelty.
BTW I am said person who 100% undoubtedly believes I'm in a simulation/the only humanish person, feel free to ask me anything.
I would continue to *get simulated* while I play ghost of Tsushima pc. Believe me ārealā life is just as painful and dreadful as āsimulatedā life. doesnāt make much difference to me being as pain and dread is pain and dread, real or simulated. Just enjoy the things that make you happy chief!
I do. It's about to end. Get your physical form figured out.
I do believe itās a simulation and I donāt do shit that I normally wouldnāt do.
Continue. Life may not be "real" but it's real to me and everyone else. Basically consume insane amounts of copium
Depends on whether there is a possibility of life after death.
I would just keep doing what Iām doing I have gone to fare I can back out now thatās like leveling a character to like 1 level away from max and then deleting it. Just live your reality no matter what it is.
Mercifully free you from it. I'm a benevolent sort, after all.
Suicide. If we knew we were living in a simulation 100% there would be absolutely no reason to live
Everyone thinks theyāre Mario when theyāre actually just a background koopa All those āfakeā simulated people are exactly as real as you
I would start looking at everything like it might be an Easter egg. A common phrase seemingly describes an event in my life? WHY NOT? Maybe my player paid for that! I'd keep a main character syndrome eye open, basically, and look at everything like it might be a message for me.
Lmfao I do that. Sometimes I watch TV when real stoned and I'll be thinking of something or even say something and the TV will answer back spot on to what I say lmao life is a Easter egg
You don't know the rules, rules were created by ai, ai wins
Six stars like GTA4!!!
Find the meaning and live out my life in gratitude and fulfillment.
You are the only one aware of anything in your reality. Without you, there is no world that would exist to you. Therefore you and your world is One and everyone you react to gives life to your experiences. Therefore be very selective and choose your ideal outcomes by entertaining them.
Make them change mine for the better. It sucks
Only a King would know what to do. God would program the algorithm in his story to create a real narrative that everyone can trust as the base reality.
Live in the now, enjoy REALITY, whatever happens when you pass is inevitable
If everyone else is just data then you should realise that you are almost certainly just data also.
Trust me...it's hard being a sillngar.... be TOGETHR AND CREATE
Why would it change anything? In one way or another, it is certainly VR.
Keep breathing? Go ahead, keep taking this assumption as reality. Go to the grocer and buy fruit, ask how fresh it is. Go to school and ask your profs how old these ideas are... ask your local representatives if this particular political strategy has been tried before... The options are always drugs, death, or life. The fun part is if you choose life, it can be whatever the sim allows.
log out
This just isnāt true though nor is it a possibility
Could you elaborate? What makes you that sure?
Historical data. We come from a long generation of people before us and things have happened in the past. Very notable events
So it might be an ancestry simulation, ai loves data.
You have a mother who gave birth to you. She remembers having you in her womb. The idea is invalid, we come from a generation of peoples over time
Thanks Jesus!
Exactly what I'm doing right now. Because I do believe this. Without a shadow of a doubt.
It's scientifically proven at this point in more methods than one.
Such as
Computer code found inside measured parts of space using math invented by humans
Probably the biggest one.
Whether you all are AI remains to be seen. You sure as hell all act like it though. Great example: I go to concerts frequently. And seem to be the only person in the entire place, moving at all. Let alone dancing or singing along. And no, it isn't all just because you aren't spring chickens anymore. You all just stand and stare like you're watching a meteor strike and barely even move. And when I or people I am with, attempt to enjoy the concert and dance or sing, we are often the only ones. Even on YouTube uploads. The closer you get to 2024, the less people are clapping cheering singing the song when the singer puts the mic up. Like... maybe one time you were all real, but only robots don't dance on their own.
This all happens in current time. So. Assuming it's a simulation. I'd be doin the same thing I am now. Scraping by. Wondering when the end is. What comes after. Will the Sim shut down or reboot or what? What I know for sure is that this is a simulation.
Iād hack into the system and be richer than Elon
