I don’t think that we’re in a simulation, but I do find myself occasionally entertaining the idea of it.
I think it would be kinda funny, because I have seen so much ridiculous shit in my life, that the idea that all those ridiculous things were simulated inside a computer or that maybe an external player did those things that I witnessed, is just too weird and funny at the same time lol.
Also, I play Civilizations VI and I occasionally wonder ‘What if those settlers / soldiers / units / whatever are actually conscious. What if those lines of code actually think that they’re alive?’. In that case, they are in a simulation. The same could apply to other life simulators, such as the Sims 4.
Idk, what does Lemmy think about it?
Exactly. It literally makes no difference if we are or not. So why waste brainpower thinking about it?
Fun
That’s exactly what some agent of the simulation would say.
Unless this is a prison and the only way out is to die here.
Well we all die eventually. I’m happy to serve a longer sentence and find out a bit later.
