I love listening to Kurzweil.
Too.
Ray Kurzweil is not nice, the guy is a retrograde human being that seeks to replace human utility because he has a poor image about himself, the guy dreams to be a god and control the universe under his own convenience, he wants to render humanity to extinction.
@@AcesHight Neither me nor Matthew Hynds said that he's nice. And IMHO, it's positive to transcend over our biological borders, as Kurzweil says.
@@max-dy3vs Bullcrap, as long that happens, we will be no different than an average machine at its peak, that would render our species to extinction, all scientists like him should get arrested and sentenced with the death penalty for their offenses against humanity.
@@AcesHight We'll be perfect machines and solve all our human problems. I see no problem with that. If we are machines, humanity won't matter anymore.
Excellent explanation!!
Watch "USS Callister" episode from Black Mirror, I really like that idea.
I agree, patterns are fundamental reality.
Nigol T. I disagree. They’re an abstraction of fundamental physical reality, of reality at the infinitesimal level.
Love Ray. Pure genius of our time.
So if the universe is a computer and we want to get out. Our main enemy is something like Kapresky and Norton.
Also the fact that we don't possess portable holodeck projectors like the EMH.
Logically, that would mean we ourselves are mere files. What file is able to escape its program? As Tron shows us, only a User can do so.
If this is a simulation, I must have pissed off the creator...
You are the creator.
@@ernestbuckley8671 touché!
Not a big fan of Kurzweil, but he makes an excellent point here.
Are these new or re posted?
Love Mr.Kurzweil ...
Turn up the volume please!
I'm heading off the the gym in about 45 minutes and I'm annoyed that my information has to hurt so much. : /
I recently broke my pattern of going to the gym just to prove I have free will
@Sic semper tyrannis boom
I want to Level-Up.
Next level is after death perhaps. Wait ✋ longest as possible to level up.
DONT WORRY RAY....YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER!!
This man reminds me of a philosophical version of Richard Feynman.
fractal universal plank length of plenum connection is the difference ? .. between an original thing from nature and a simulation
I am a poor schizophrenic and I frequently have ideas of Matrix, Truman show, solipsism etc.
No. I am the only one who does that.
If we're already in one Simulation, why bother constructing for ourselves yet another? (VR) Do we want to distance ourselves even further from the Reality outside the One we're in?
It's your choice if you want to, use VR, If you don't to, don't use it. Follow your bliss man.
what make life as it is? it's just the way that atoms are organized and passing energy to each other
Its interesting that he says that human beings are mainly information and that the body constantly changes his atoms and is a complete new body after a short time. It reminds me a bit of Buddhas teaching who says that we are nothing else but the sum of our accumulated karma-deeds. (And this Karma would correspond to information)
+ closer to truth can you please turn up the volume
All of earth's history could be a one second long simulation running on a jupiter brain computer.
Information is another word for "code".
What is the code we are made of?
Here's an interesting paper detailing some newly proposed experiments, which have the potential to demonstrate whether or not our material reality is actually a simulation. The team who wrote the peer reviewed paper includes physicists and mathematicians from NASA, JPL and Cal Tech. They're currently forming a 501c3 to raise funding for the experimental set-up. From the paper:
On rendering reality: It is now well understood in the emerging science of Uncertainty Quantification that low complexity computation must be performed with hierarchies of multi-fidelity models. It is also now well understood, in the domain of game development, that low computational complexity requires rendering/displaying content only when observed by a player. Recent games, such as No-Man’s Sky and Boundless, have shown that vast open universes (potentially including “over 18 quintillion planets with their own sets of flora and fauna”) are made feasible by creating content, only at the moment the corresponding information becomes available for observation by a player, through randomized generation techniques (such as procedural generation). Therefore, to minimize computational complexity in the simulation theory, the system performing the simulation would render reality only at the moment the corresponding information becomes available for observation by a conscious observer …
Hopefully the experiments will be undertaken relatively soon. On Testing the Simulation Theory: www.ijqf.org/wps/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/IJQF2017v3n3p2.pdf
Yeah but this assuming the limits of our computations apply to the limits of a being who's possibly in a different dimension that's responsible for creating our reality. It's like an NPC in skyrim finally figuring out that it's just an NPC. I feel like it simply goes beyond the comprehension of human ability.
I feel like I’m looking at the same person
Can humanity imagine something that cannot be real? Do our brain operations including memories, thought, creativity and others limit our imaginations to only things that can be real?
People need to research and think over the subtleties of simulation and virtual reality. I encourage checking out Tom Campbell's work and drawing your own inferences or conclusions. In a simulation hypothesis, your consciousness is part of, "inside", the simulation (which requires an insane amount of computational resources by the way); however the evidence seems to suggest that - at least some - aspect of your consciousness is non-local - outside of time and space. Thus, the virtual reality (VR) model better fits the data/evidence; YOU exist outside and are interacting with a VIRTUAL reality (which happens to be much more computationally resource effecient, too). Tom Campbell will be starting a crowd fund campaign for experiments to test the model's predictions. Science 101.
RodCornholio so what if it takes huge computational power, in the future the computer will be so advanced we can simulate a universe atom by atom and even with quantum principles
Yoda People are free to use resources as ineffeciently as possible. Theoretically, one could build a simulated universe with rope memory and vacuum tubes, I suppose. The evidence with THIS Universe is that it is not a simulation wherein consciousness is "inside" or that it is deterministic...probably because it is not an efficient use of resources. Excellent point.
RodCornholio well what if... the creator of this simulation that we live in, they have completely different laws of physics or even in a higher dimension hence creating a 3d universe with peanut law of physics is easy for them and doesnt even take high computing power. Its like playing a 1990's mario game on 2018's gaming desktop
Yoda Great speculation and conjecture. You've probably reached beyond the limits of what could be known; the limitations of science. Sadly, we are limited to the empirical cycle of: data - - > hypothesis - -> experiment/s - - > data - - > (eventually) theory/models. Since we are pretty stuck "in the ocean", looking out and around, it's extraordinarily challenging - if not impossible - to use the scientific process to discover what truly is going on outside this realm. For those with the time, training, and (probably) talent, using your own consciousnes to explore non-local realities may be the best way to gather a personalized, first-hand, understanding. You won't win Nobel Prizes or build warp drives, but you'll gain personal growth and satisfaction. Perhaps, that is enough.
My jaw is on the floor
Event TR-8 😆
How God created so many creatures millions of different types? It was brought one pair to earth?fish, animals, humans etc ? Is God himself material ?
There might be many universes, but there's only one Universal-- the infinite-eternal. Now, if we, finite beings, are sentient, how much more so the Universal Mind? Or is the infinite-eternal stupid?
Simulacron 3. Daniel F. Galouye. 1964. Plagiarism ?
We only understand and know what we know. There is much in the universe itself that we don't know. Yes a simulation where we did not know the difference would entirely be possible. Perhaps it explains why we can't see aliens considering the age of the universe. It challenges your entire belief system of what you think it possible. Rays explanation is as good as any.
He is a genius and I hope is is right in his future predictions as it happen with his past ones.
rInteresting ... Please re-master your volume louder and upload again. This clip plays too low when compared to other streaming media. Better Data ...
That's Stephen king in another simulation
Maybe our universe is created as a simulation and all we do is create energy for the 'being' that created our universe.
I see you watch Rick and Morty.
Loosh!
No, it's not a simulated reality.
haha u gotta love nerds ;)
The easy answer is ..... yes ........was there ever a doubt ?
+rhykko77 May i ask u what makes u so sure
+Shaashwath Raj I peaked behind the magician's curtain.
Just read vedic scriptures. It's all explained there and this gyu copies
YaNumbedEliteRay
Simulate deez nutz. HAH GOT EEM
Just no.
My relevant brain molecules left the room after the first twenty seconds of this.
İnformation = concsciousnes
Why does math give us so much power? When we harness the power of the sun to create bombs, predict the trajectories of celestial bodies or merely invent quantum computers that fit in our pants... are we gaming the system?
For the simulation theory to be valid, it's not necessary to simulate the whole universe, all that's necessary is to simulate *my* waking experience - everything else, everyone else is just a part of *my* simulation. Anyway, please call me Zaphod. ;)
FlyingPhilUK Then everyone else can assume the same due to having a similar brain to yourself and we’d get no where.
How people call him a genius is beyond me. Literally 99% of what he says was said 70 years ago by Asimov and others. He's just another rich guy obsessed with not dying. It's a tale as old as written history.
so it's like if Mario made a video game. wait, we're the Mario...
that means I can blame my problems on the thing controlling me 😄
Last.
If we were living in a simulation, how would you explain our consciousness residing in this simulated universe ?
Yes but do you really have freedom of choice? That is what is amazing about it you don't feel like you're on a script. Or just call it a movie. In a movie.
Idea is is the universe bang created many outcomes and this reality is just one of many "scripted" outcomes. And in this other reality you are not born, etc. So there isn't a missed chance to be born, either. Everybody is born, too.
There's anther Earth with a completely different set of people on it, etc.
And you're in a movie playback... but you don't realize it.
You think you had a choice because you look back to the past and think you had the choice to have done something differently. But go back and try to change the past. You can't. It's done.
What is time anyways? A duration... Inflation can be like the equivalent to pressing play on a tape.
Somebody far away can access our movie past. The future the same. Real but at the same time like a movie.
"This gut really needs M-E-N-T-A-L HELP!
Bernard Martinez you need to go back to 3rd grade and repeat it so you can spell and think properly. Fucking idiot
The we-are-a-simulation theory violates Occam's Razor, in the following way: Suppose the computer on which we are supposed to be simulated is "real," and therefore not part of our (simulated) universe. To understand that computer and its universe requires a whole additional set of physical laws. But at that point in our study of what is happening here, we are right back where we started, namely in what we usually call a real world.
In other words, in order to have a simulation the (junior high school?) simulating creatures and their computers must live in a "real" (not simulated) universe.
What have we gained in knowledge and insight? Nothing, as far as I can see.
i think occam's razor is just a way for people to assume their biases are correct
Occam's Razor is the principal that, given two or more equally convincing explanations for something that has happened, choose the one that is simpler.
Ralph
choose it for what?
A very good question. I guess one should choose the simpler explanation for the foundation of future actions, pending additional evidence.
It is not easy to find good examples of the application of Occam's Razor. This question -- are we simulations? -- is perfect for the job. Should we humans believe we exist in the real world -- about which much still remains to be elucidated -- or should we instead suppose we are being simulated by an unknown computer which exists in a different real world about which we know nothing at all?
The simulation hypothesis is just a quasi-God Hypothesis
- we don't understand the universe, therefore, let's suppose there is/are one or more super-intelligences that created our universe for us to live in....
- it just doesn't seem like a very scientific idea, with no actual evidence for it....
- and we don't have anyway of understanding how the real universe came into existence...
I don't see how it's any different from religion
Yeah a gay simulation!
I've heard many opinions on simulation theory and I have to say this was by far the most lazy.
Simulation????? Why not the land of Oz?? Maybe the Grimm fairy tale?? Everyone has a b*****hit story to peddle!!
