I was once a cacti collector. Had hundreds of specimens from all over the world. I was searching for a particular south american cactus and stopped in at a large commercial greenhouse to see what cacti they had. When I walked in, a young man who worked there, who apparently had Down's Syndrome or something similar, came up and motioned me to follow him. We wound our way to the very back of the huge facility where the cacti were and he excitedly pointed to a single specimen of the species I was searching for. I never told him what I was looking for nor could he speak clearly. Mind. Blown.
I went to a record and CD fair looking for Ace's 'How Long' with the brilliant Paul Carrack (he was singing lead vocals, not accompanying me to the record fair). This is a fairly obscure song - it only reached no.20 in the UK in 1974 and this was 16 or 17 years later. I walked up to the first table in this large hall, told the guy on the stand what I was looking for, and he said, 'I think I have it somewhere'. He had several hundred CDs stacked on his trestle tables, yet the first one I pulled out was the song I was looking for. When I went in, was half expecting to draw a blank and leave empty handed after spending perhaps an hour searching at the record fair. Instead I was in and out in under a minute, cd in hand. Whadayareckon, A guardian angel or a glitch in the matrix?
Physical reality is like a boot camp training course for souls but far more sci-fi and other worldly than even Steven King could imagine. Because the being putting you through this course and looking over you, is you yourself. A future self. If you don't have any spiritual or occult knowledge you will scoff at this and laugh. And if you do then you won't laugh but it will be a struggle to believe. Still there it is.
As if this situation is anything compared to the stuff that went down in history... Remember the Black Death for instance? Covid is child's play comared to that and countless other events in the past.
Tyler Elmer you give me hope my brain works tje same way there's a book on my shelf I swear it is called " cooking for an orchid" it's actually cooking for a crowd but my brain reads orchid all the time. I like the concept of an 8 sided onion with square melons in Japan (?) standardised veg is not that weird a thought quinces obviously have 5 sides (I can't think of any more veg matching the words for numbers like sept non pent quad bi Quin so quince is the only one I can think up u hAve started something here !!
I imagined the Onion having the 8 sides and came here to see what other people thought. However I think Snow is ahead of my time lol. I am not sure if I am brave enough to ask if he/she can elaborate.
Yes, but how do we know that our computer overlords know what med rare steak taste like? Maybe a med rare steak have the flavor of Tasty Wheats. But then what does Tasty Wheats really taste like? Maybe they taste like Nerds Rope and non dairy creamer and they got it all wrong.
Once me and my then boyfriend were chatting on phone.. I was drawing a flower on my text book and my bf was only semi awake while speaking to me . He said "whats up with the flower drawing" I was shocked.. we were 2000 km away there was absolutely no way he could have known that I am doodling a flower on my text book. So my voice naturally shot up as i said "what did you just say" that was enough to wake him up and he has no recollection of saying what he said
You were probably kinda tranced out and didn't realize you mentioned that you were going to or were actually drawing flowers and he was dozing off and responded to that information. You might have said something about a stem or petal or mentioned flower or something under your breath, and he's your bf he likely knows that you draw or doodle.
Best argument I've heard against simulation hypothesis: irrational numbers. If we ever find a termination to an irrational number, then statistically we probably live in a simulation. However, as long as irrational numbers continue to go on forever with no repeating pattern, on irrational number would consume an infinite amount of bits in the simulation programming. Thought that was a clever explanation I would never have come up with.
That would be assuming that the simulation is similar and has a structure of our human-made computers. If we were in a simulation, we might never reach the end of an irrational number because that would require us to calculate to a level more powerful than the simulation that we run on. We would need to make a computer that's bigger than the universe.
Or the simulation could take short cuts in order to minimize the computing power for this function to allocate its resources elsewhere. Perhaps if we could measure the rate of information processing at the same time we run an overwhelmingly intense calculation to see information (entropy) happen at a slower rate. If it did, we could confirm that we are within some sort of device that is limited to a finite amount of processing power. However this is unlikely a fruitful experiment because: The amount of processing power should be incomprehensibly astronomical as it is currently running special and quantum relativity from all observable angles simultaneously.
My best guess: quantum interaction is being simulated, or it is the fundamental truth of the universe, we just haven't found the way that it scales up to influence larger structures yet. In time we will; and then futuristic High School physics classes will laugh at their stupid ancestors for not comprehending "the basic concepts of reality". Sadly, this isn't much help since this ignores or doesn't answer why we are here. it just assumes the smallest interaction will scale up and create everything we have through random encounters based on the impossibly exact set-up of the singularity.
I'm about 20 videos in now and am super pumped to have found you! This one is just insane man🤯 Huge fan, I've been telling folks about you, thanks Joe you're killing it!
This was SO interesting! My friend Geneva and I experienced a glitch TOGETHER! Geneva was washing dishes and I had my little pup on top of the kitchen island counter putting a belly band (male doggie diaper) on the little fellow. Geneva and I were in typical conversation. Without warning the entire vision of my kitchen shook and blurred like video static. Suddenly my hands were holding nothing but air. Geneva didn’t perceive the blur. In her words, Bentley (with belly band) just vanished from the counter and appeared standing happily on the floor without the belly band! The belly band was found back in the closet where I kept them. I was ecstatic! I felt I was special to experience this unique oddity with a witness. I’ll never forget Geneva’s big eyes and blanched white face. She was terrified! When I suggested that we needed to research our shared experience, she said she never wanted to think or talk about it again. I was so disappointed! The same experience with 2 different reactions...
They were in the matrix when Neo was offered the pills, so they had no honest effect. The pills were an analogy Morpheus was using to gain consent. Neither "existed" since they were both code, created my Morpheus.
@@KaDaJxClonE Of course. And the red pill was code that they would use to find Neo's body in the power plant while the red one was just code that would erase his memory of the few days.
For years I kept visiting a place in my dreams. This was the backyard of a house which was built on the side of a hill. The back yard was slanted down the hill and ended with a stream running across it. This dream I repeated many times until one day I met a girl who I went to school with and I gave her a drive home. On reaching her home she told me about her unusual backyard which she proceeded to show me. It turned out that was the place I was visiting over the years. After this I never dreamed about this place again.
I had an out of body experience while I was conscious. I was at work, and my spirit jumped out of my body. I could see myself working. And then in an instant, I was back in my body. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced. It only happened once.
We'd likely screw it up and crash the simulation. What if some simulation hacker got in there and changed a constant like the force of gravity or something. That would be very bad for us.
The only reason I can’t believe I’m in a simulation is because I can’t understand why anyone would want to see me in my room eating Doritos and watching cat videos all day
We already play games like "The Sims" and "Second Life" where the characters do exactly that. Yeah it sounds crazy until you realize we're already doing it.
Wouldnt it be hilarious if the second someone found proof of the simulation hypothesis a giant message in the sky would appear that said :"Congratulations On Clearing The Game" and scientists all over the world would shout gg ez ;P
We would more like go to the next level where it gets harder. After a second thought maybe that's happening all the time but without messages in the sky.
The part where you said that things are only real once we look at it is scary to me. Most video games will only load things that you can see so you lag less. It corresponds to this a little and maybe one day, if we really are in a simulation, it will abruptly end because it can't "render" everything and just fails.
Youre not thinking out far enough. How long before a game will be able to save it's state in something, blockchain, and crash but repair itself? 15 years? maybe much sooner. As something within the system you wouldn't even know. You'd temporarily pause, and then continue knowing none the less.
Here's something that happened to me...here goes... I was watching a movie with my husband that I had already seen twice. I didn't realize it before deciding to watch it again, but while we were watching it, I kept waiting for a specific scene in the movie that I wanted him to see. We got through the entire thing with no sign of the scene PLUS the movie had a completely different ending then when I'd previously seen it. I didn't think anything of it at the time figuring maybe there was an alternate ending and they just played that version culminating in the scene that I'd looked for, being edited out to support the ending. To no avail, my husband and I looked everywhere on the internet, to find the answer. Nothing. The next day I wanted to talk to my friends about what I'd experienced and ask if they'd seen the movie, so I planned to say something when we met to have lunch. As I started to try to describe what had happened I found myself unable to remember the movie that this was all about!!! It was like I could feel the men memory still there but there was something blocking it or surrounding it in my brain and wouldn't let me gain access no matter how hard I tried. I called my husband to ask him what movie it was and he couldn't remember either!!! I thought, "there is no way in hell this is happening!! I'll just look on my browser history to check it out and it will be solved." It was then and there that I first started realizing that there is something strange going on. This was almost nine year's ago now. The day was July 22nd my friend Julie's bday we were out celebrating at the time. I still try to remember the movie and the scene it is that has somehow escaped my mind. Til this day there's been absolutely no sign that I'll ever recall it...but I know that I'm not a crazy person. * IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR TO ANYONE IN A WAY THAT A CERTAIN MOVIE HAS A MISSING SCENE THAT BEFORE WHEN YOU WATCHED IT WAS ALWAYS THERE AND AN ENDING DIFFERENT THAN U REMEMBER WITHOUT IT BEING A MOVIE WITH ALTERNATE ENDING LIKE THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT PLZ TELL ME WHAT MOVIE IT IS.*
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 ya know I thought about that possibility to believe it or not...but it seems impossible. It's so crazy how things work in life. They say is "beauty" that's in the eyes of the beholder...I say that it's "Reality"
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 Exactlty what I was thinking. Most likely. I don't think we live in a simulation but a huge multi dimensional universe and being there are so many alternate realities of our own going on at the same time. So what I'm getting at is one of the other dimensions interjects itself into ours from time to time or vice versa. Since I've been getting in to eastern religion and ways to raise your consciousness. I've had so many odd experiences like people on here are explaining that simply can't be coincidence. Especially since I started Lucid dreaming. Exploring my overall consciousness has really been a trip. Like I only experienced the few times I used psychedelics but now I feel more in control of it without drugs.
@Mar M Well to start its havin a bit of foreshadowing ability of certain events. Like when my mother-and-passed away I dreamt a few nights before almost exactly how it happened and what caused. Same with my old 5th grade teacher I couldn't stop thinking about him one day for some reason then he passed the next day. Next just small things like saying something someone was thinking or saying right before they speak it. Lastly I had a Lucid dream about having a son instead of the daughter I have almost like it was an alternate reality I was being shown. Pretty wild...huh? There were other dreams I just should of wrote them down since I cant remember them now lol
It wasn't the butterfly effect was it? That had 2 different endings for no apparent reason. In one ending he ends up as a foetus and kills himself in the womb, and the other he sees the girl he loves on the street, who isn't aware who he is and he has to walk away without meeting her.
I don't know about glitches in a proverbial matrix but I have witnessed a very disturbing event. When I was 19 a friend of mine and I were at a bar unwinding after work. We left a bar (we were underage but my friend's aunt owns the bar), and on our way home the car quits. The transmission was on it's way out for a while at that point, so we weren't surprised. We are in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but woods on this country road for as far as we could tell. We start walking. The only reason we aren't bummed out or pissed off was because we were dedicated stoners at the time and had a readily available stash on us. So we walk for hours until an van pulls up to us. A guy offers us a ride to his destination and the use of a phone when we get there. We agree and ride to this farm manor where the locals were having a party. There were like 40 or 50 people here and having a gold ole country time. We popped some cold ones and just shot the shit all night and even forgot to make our call for a ride. We both end up passing out. When we woke up, we were in a field. Not 30 feet away was the manor house but it was decrepit. I mean like not been lived in or worked on in decades decrepit. My friend is freaking out like dude I had the weirdest dream about that house. It could not have been his dream unless I suddenly had become telepathic in my sleep and read his mind. I was there too. All the stuff he was talking about matched my memories of the party. We remembered doing the sane stuff. So we walk around the place, determined to find some rational answer. Not only did we fail miserably, but the rabbit hole got deeper. We found a graveyard out back and some of the names of the people we had been introduced to at the party was on the headstones. We also found a memorial thing which told the story of an infuriated man who, angry that his wife had left him for another man, had driven to a party at that house and shot the ex wife, her new man, and many of the friends and family before killing himself. We flip out. Eventually we get to another house and the old lady there told us more of the story while we waited for a ride we called for using her phone. She was a little girl when it had happened almost 70 years prior. She described the people we met in detail. A guy with a limp, a woman who couldn't talk much because of a disease she had had, a guy who told jokes to make a sailor blush, and more. And she described the shooter. The description was a perfect match to the guy who had given us a ride to the party in the first place. I do not much believe in ooga booga stuff and I am not saying this experience is any one thing or another. But we both distinctly experienced it and neither of us can explain it. Before anyone chocks the whole thing up to very good weed, he had long depleted our supply and sobered up in the long miserable walk before the guy pulled up in the van. I really really really wish the answer were something as simple and normal as that.
@sic semper tyrannus - yes but what kind of attitude, most gammers have in their videogames with their worlds? even in a strategy or civilization simulator? are they moral and saint people? or are they brutal evil destructive gods? Are you moral inside a game with those virtual npc's? I guess that what i'm trying to say is that from the point of view of whomever made the simulation (if this is a simulation) we might just be npc's. toys with whom he/she/it can do whatever he/she/it pleases that included torturing them or subjecting them to a natural disaster... sadly...
sic semper tyrannus, well, pain, death, sacrifice, and suffering is the base of all ancient religions. Without those conditions no one could ever experience love. If everything was just joy and pleasure no one would give a fuck about anyone, probably not even themselves. In terms of Judeo-Christian religions that's why anything involving joy and pleasure without the counterpart correlates with Satan. Anything involving pain and suffering also relates to Satan. It's only when both occur, pain and joy, that you can relate them to what's "good", aka day-night, Sun-Moon, Adam-Eve, Alpha-Omega, beginning-end, etc.
I had plenty of paranormal experiences in my life. When I was in the 4th grade, i visited a high school with my uncle for cub scouts. I stepped outside and a UFO came down, looked at me in a 45 degree angle and hovered there for a while before disappearing before my friends came outside. I also tend to see things that I can’t explain like a face in a group of trees, things falling over by themselves, voices that can’t be explain, and seeing shadow people before something bad happens. I also don’t dream, but when I do those dreams show a depiction of reality in a different setting. All of which sounds crazy, I know but its been through out my life and I feel like there’s more then just us in this world. I believe that as humans we also tend to go through multi parallel universes that we are unaware of until we realize something has changed. Like knowing that you put a pen in a specific spot at a specific time and when you go back to get it, it isn’t there but in a different spot.
I constantly experience things like your pen story. All. The. Time. Thankfully, I've had witnesses to it enough that I no longer feel like a lunatic. Only one out of body experience, but people and electronics, especially computers and lights, do NOT like me much. I've had multiple lights just explode above me, after being on and working fine for some time, cash registers, cc readers, and video games quite often have to be reset when it's my turn to go, and an outrageous number of computer errors have impacted my life, like one page of a digital file will be missing on the other end, but is always part of the original file, and emails will vanish into thin air when I try to find them to use info in them, and will return to my inbox or saved location about an hour after the need has passed. Oh, and this is a really odd one, but when I go through the body scanners in airports, my lady bits set it over every single time. never had any piercings or tattoos or anything like that, and of course I'm not doing anything that would cause me to be searched on purpose, but here we are. I have to make jokes because it's too weird a thing to understand. lol No one has to convince me that there are glitches, I am a walking, talking glitch in real life, and it sucks. If I ever figure out how to use my powers, I'm going to fix the world, but sadly, no instruction manual yet.
It's crazy you mentioned some of the dreams. I had this happen one time. I had a dream about my ex-wife cheating on me. I had seen this guy one time in a crowded restraunt that she worked at and just had this overwhelming feeling that he was a threat somehow. Never seen or met him before and he wasn't even her customer so I couldn't explain it. Then a couple weeks later she introduced him at a bar and I just knew I didn't like him at all for no good reason at all. Then after a week or 2 I had a dream that I caught her with him at another bar. Now this is the really crazy part. In my dream they were in a bar I had never been in before but the layout was somehow familiar and it was named a bar that we normally went to. Then I woke up and noticed she had been off work for over 2 hours and still hadn't made it home. So I called her job and they told me she left with a co worker and went to the bar that I knew the name of in my dream. Well this kinda freaked me out so I went to that bar to see if she was there but it was closed for the night. On my way back home I took a different route and saw this new bar that had just reopened and her friends car was there so I walked in and this place was exactly like the one in my dream all the way to the placement of the restrooms the people that were there everything. Her and this guy I dreamt about were even at the same pool table that I saw in the dream. She kept telling me I was overreacting she couldn't understand why it had bothered me so much but after a week she ended up leaving me and went to a different state with the same guy. I don't know. Maybe by my reaction I actually willed things into reality but never could shake how strange the whole thing was
I was walking into a town with my ex and suddenly I had this awful feeling about his new girlfriend. I told him about it and he wanted to know more but it was really fleeting; so all I could say was it was a really bad feeling but it had gone now and I had no idea. Anyway he married her and ended up drinking himself to death in his early forties. I wondered about the bad vibe a lot after he died.
Exactly! Every time I spend a tremendous amount of time inventing something, and then reveal it to someone else, they usually inform me where I can already buy it. Disappointing. Someone is tapping into my future brain from way back when.
I'm a 14 yearold autistic kid and for my entire life I have had a lot of trouble with social cues but lately I've been finding patterns. in what seems like utter chaos my brain will extend the situation to all of the possible endings by using what I know about the person's social patterns like what they will respond sarcastically to. my adhd speeds up the process by hyper focusing on patterns and alot of those patterns line up with how I decided the conversation would go it's like the people around me are all coded to have certain responses and sometimes I feel like my brain is hardwired to carryout certain commands
That's completely normal. Of course people follow certain patterns. And we are practically computers; our conscious is just creating explanations for us as to why we did what we did, so that we can make sense of what happens. There's not really such a thing as conscious free will. We just think we really wanted to do what we did.
Had this experience too and wonder if it's not more explainable as a processing error. Definitely gives me chills when it happens. Like when I was ten I had a dream I was sitting on playground talking to my friend and then weeks later exact scene plays out even my focus on this plant and then as my friend was starting to speak I almost panicked trying to tell her what she was going to say and that I'd seen it. That one somehow is the most memorable for me though I still have them time to time.
Dreams coming true. You bet. Studying for physics exam term 1. Dream of a physics problem. Term 1paper. Dream question staring me in face. Coincidence perhaps. Term 2 dream of physics problem. Says to myself. Will look this problem up. To lazy to do so. However once again problem stares me in the face in the exam. Yes passed physics
heres something scary: if we are in a simulation to observe the past of humanity, will our gods destroy us right before we create our own simulation to avoid creating an infinite loop? are all of us going to be erased 30 years in the future because we 'catch up' with the people operating our universe?
@@harperg5890 they’re just referring to the creators of the simulation... I think joe even used the term... I don’t think it’s meant very seriously... just kind of what they kinda could be considered... make sense?
The weirdest thing for me is that there is a shortest period of time where we can't measure anything shorter (plank time) and also a shortest length were nothing can be shorter (plank length). This could totally be the pixel size and refresh rate of our simulation.
@@aygwm It ain't. The speed of light is affected by the stuff it's travelling through as well as by gravitational fields. Besides that, light has no mass and everything without mass behaves pretty much the same way.
@@lonestarr1490 yes, but speed of light in a vacuum is a specific speed. I was asking why it is that arbitrary speed instead of faster or slower. We may never know.
Talking of 'glitches in the Matrix'... Some years ago, when I lived in an old (18th Century) house in London, which was originally part of a grand estate from which the main house had long since been demolished, I experienced an inexplicable event which, to this day, I'm at a loss to explain. The house often felt strange and unnerving, even during the day. I had an electric hand mixer in a cupboard, in the kitchen, which would have originally been situated in an old wash-house which was used as the estate laundry. The mixer was fairly new and had performed flawlessly since I purchased it. One day I took the mixer out of the cupboard, where it had been since its previous unremarkable use. When I attempted to insert the removable whisk attachments into their sockets on the base of the device only one would fit as the second one couldn't be inserted without fouling the first. I tried swapping the attachments, putting both in either place and rotating both of them multiple times without success. Eventually, I concluded that the only way to remedy the situation was to dismantle the mixer and inspect the mechanism. I am an engineer, so am familiar with such simple mechanisms and the types of material used in their manufacture. On removing the cover of the mixer it was evident that there was nothing broken or damaged that would explain the fault. I soon concluded that the only way to fix the problem was to remove a metal plate holding the two nylon rotating gears (into which the attachments were inserted) in place and rotate one of them to enable the whisk attachments to line up once more. I inspected the two nylon gears carefully and there were no signs of either of them having skipped in the slightest. The metal spindle of the motor, which had been machined into a driving worm gear was, similarly, entirely intact. The backlash of the gears was minimal and with the metal retaining bracket in place there was no conceivable way either of the nylon gears could have moved independently without significant damage, which was not the case. From that day onward the mixer has worked flawlessly, as it did before this incident, and I am at a loss to explain how it happened.
I have reoccurring dreams/ waking hallucinations, as soon as I wake up I see inter dimensional beings see that I’m awake and run thru the wall, ceiling or floor. Wish I didn’t have this
Ok here goes, when I'm drifting off the sleep in my mind's eye I can see lots and lots of little screens floating past my vision (in my mind's eye) and when I concentrate one one of thoes screens I can bring it into focus and it shows a scene of something going on. Like I'm watching the world through someone else's eyes. Often showing things and places I've never seen or experienced. I've talked to few people about this and once I described a street that an American friend used to live on. Down to the corner shop and what colour the houses were. I was obviously a bit freaked out when she told me that. Or another time I saw a moment at a place I worked at, a couple months later the same scenario actually happened. Dunno if it's evidence of the simulation hypothesis, but it's a cool thing to go to sleep wondering what part of the world I'll see that night.
If you think we are in a simulation Then think other dimensions are servers running different simulations. And the speed of light is the speed of rendering a lot of things make a lot more sense.
I've been having dejavu ever since I was a kid. It usually happens just before, during or after something really bad has happened. And it isn't just dejavu, it's a memory that I've dreamed the situation before. I have really vivid dreams, and then maybe years later I have an accident, I get punched, i crash my bike, I faint in public etc and then a sudden memory of the dream comes rushing back. I've been having one for the last few years that kinds feels like the aftermath of being run over by a car and being really messed up. And honestly I think about it now every time I cross the road.
Geez! I'm so glad you posted this as I thought it was just me. But in my case, it always occurred before something bad happened. It got so bad, I always pray for protection the moment it happens. There has to be something to this that's on a higher level.
Deja vu has been pretty surreal for me sometimes. Being in an exact situation I had thought about days or months, maybe years prior, happen, then BAM I remember I had a thought of my current situation in the past. Or as if I had just remembered the present as a memory. Very odd feeling, has happened a handful of times
Yes when I was a kid. Me & a group of friends had a motor scooter that we were taking it in turns riding in a grave yard. I was waiting with others, when I sat down on the edge of a grave stone. I closed my eyes & as I did I my freind was on my right. I had my eyes closed & saw him move from right to left & it was night time. When I opened my eyes, I expected him to be still on my right but he was now on my left. This freaked me out as my eyes were closed. Then I got a feeling that something was going to happen. So I started to go. My freind said what's up I said don't know but somethings wrong. Then we all except some who were laughing at me started to run then we heard & saw the lights of the local parks patrol bikes coming in the distance. Then I knew what the feeling was. We would have been caught if stayed.. it was like I'd dreamed it before. 👍✌❤👊
@@yourinnerlawyer4035 the first one is definitely worth a watch. the sequels get a lot of flack but to be honest I still enjoy them. did you end up watching it?
one time when I was 12 I was up at 3am alone at my computer and I was trying to take a photo of my desktop image with my mom's point and shoot camera, It was a photo of the Matrix movie poster with Harry potter characters heads photoshopped over their heads, and when I took a few photos of it trying to get a good image and then I took one more and I looked at the image on the camera review screen and all of the heads and faces(and only the heads) on the image were covered in what I can only describe as green plasma or goopy looking stuff, it scared my so much I instantly deleted the image and ran into my bedroom... I never stayed up late again for a long time.... And the thing has also happened to me where one time I had a dream about a having a specific conversation with my friend while standing in a specific place and then I woke up for the day and vividly remembered the dream and what my friend had said to me in the dream, then that afternoon I happened to be talking to that friend and she started saying word for word what I had dreamt in my dream, also the scene in my dream was exactly the same.... It actually really shocked me and I was kind of weirded out for the rest of the day...
I would say that you taking the photo was a false awakening. You thought you were awake but you actually still asleep in your bed. They feel really real.
weo1weo1weo1 almost everybody experiences the dream thing, my best friend used to use it to cheat on tests, and I once changed something that I said, everybody looked at me weird when I did like they had expected me to say something else
Sometimes I dream of buildings and places I've never seen before, and then some time later, I see them in movies or while browsing Google maps. I don't think this is anything more than coincidence, given the number of people on the planet and the number of buildings, the odds of this coincidence happening aren't really that small (Joe did another video on how even the rarest coincidences would happen to thousands of people).
My uncle had a recurring dream of this shadowy figure that crawled through his window and stared at him at the end of his bed when he was a young teenager. He would wake up terrified in a mad sweat and the man was gone. This happened every night for months. My grandparents eventually called a priest in to cast out evil spirits and bless the home. The dream still continued. Finally one night before bed my uncle drew a portrait of the man in as best detail as he could, he's a very good artist, to see if anyone would recognize him. He went to bed after drawing it that night and fell into the most peaceful sleep. He woke up for the first time in months without having that dream. After he got out of bed he went to his desk to get the portrait to show my grandparents and the drawing was gone. Since then he's never had that dream again. Not really about the simulation theory, just a interesting story that gives me goose bumps everytime I think of it. Was this just his mind messing with him or was there a ghost type figure who needed to be validated in some way. If it was his mind playing tricks where did the portrait go? This world is filled with so many unknowns that nearly everything and anything could be possible.
Actually Joe .....Thanx to you I have solved "The Quantum Code" supposedly an ECC code or Algorythym. Well....It actually is an actual ....dig this....a readback of dissipation of the information generated by our "Granted Quantum Variance". which is a fancy name for "Free Will" !!

Re. Deja vu, we have this ability, called intuition, which can be developed, that can give us non-linear knowledge. Gregg Braden’s Missing Links series provides quantum evidence of this.

Take some strong mushrooms . You soon learn reality is totally overlaid by alternative perceptions . The really really weird thing is that your mushroom tripping buddy , is in on the same trip ; no communication necessary.
Took mushrooms years ago, understood things I've never even debated before. I couldn't tell you the meaning of existence, but I know why dogs take forever to find a spot to pee, which is nice.
I can't really explain it. I was on a trip with some buddies in college in some remote area in Texas. Walking to some small river area where we were meeting a bunch of their local friends. Before we got there, my buddy and I went up into the trees quick to take a leak. Where I would usually just whip it out in the first place out of sight, I found myself going around from spot to spot until I knew It was right. Oddly enough, my friend apparently did the same thing. Neither of us could explain why and just laughed about it. Damn, I miss those days...
When I was younger I fell through a table. I was spinning around in my living room (idk why I was bored ig) and I got dizzy and fell towards the coffee table. I closed my eyes bc I saw my head getting closer to the center of the table and I knew I was going to hit my head. Except I didn’t. My head hit the carpet and when I opened my eyes I was completely underneath the table, like I fell through it.
I was walking alone one night and I looked up at an airplane and saw a box around it. I said out loud to myself that's been photo shopped, and I laughed, but that's what I saw.
The simulation theory also makes me think of free will. It's possible the choices we make every single day were never our own decisions. Here's an example. Say I decided I wanted a cup of coffee. If something influenced me to want coffee, like in a game of the Sims, I would believe it was my decision to want coffee but the reality is that it was never my decision.
This could be true....if we find all causes and effects....for a given event...then it seems it really was never our choice....for eg...IAM typing this...cos ur comment triggered...this...and before....I watched this video....so....for our choices to be made there is something which leads to whatever choice we make...reply me if u want to talk more thanks..
"If something influenced me to want coffee" Yes, the last cup of coffee, and before that, another cup of coffee. The place to look for your decision process is the very first cup of coffee EVER in your life, or first cigarette, first Red Bull, first anything with addictive properties.
@@murilokleine It does and it doesn't; depending on what you or anyone thinks it is. You can define it in a way that it doesn't exist in the real world, sort of like the square root of a negative number. Generally speaking that definition is useless and stupid; "free will" ought to mean something in the real world. As you can see, some people use a particular definition as an excuse for taking no personal responsibility in their lives.
@@thomasmaughan4798 Both the presence or the absence of idea of free will can lead to nihilism, I don't think it makes it less or more real, though. Make it about life or death, is the choice a product of free will or is it a consequence of the path your life has taken? Isn't responsibility the same as caring to the point of taking action? Can one choose what to care about? Do we choose to stop or start caring? It all seems to be about what interests people -- not necessarily in a good or in a bad way -- and what gets them going or not, meaning, it's not about free will at all, it's about who we are.
Not going to lie, I’m jelly of the original Creator’s of whatever level of simulation we are currently in... Unless of course our future descendant’s reality is so hellish that they initiated these sims in a way to attempt an escape from their own nightmarish reality... In which case I’ll go ahead and forget this video entirely and go back to my less than mediocre existence with a sudden and profound appreciation for it.
I had a boyfriend once. Thought he was the one. We broke up. Flash forward 18 years. I had a pool table but moved and didn't have room for it. For some reason, I held onto the balls. Had a friend with a two year old who would always throw them out into my yard. We would always go and collect them but three of the balls were never found, we assumed they had made it to the creek and been washed away. Moving on... I found my long lost beau after 18 years apart. We got back together. When we moved in together, he had some random pool balls. When I asked about them, he told me while doing yardwork at an old house, he found them burried in the yard. He kept digging but there were only the three. He wasn't sure why, but he hung onto them. They were the three I was missing. Making them, together, a compete set.
We are currently arguing over the number of balls. He says it was four. There is no telling them apart so we'll just go with three. I'm usually right. 😜
How about the fact that you cannot remember a memory as a date, unless there is something to nail the memory, an event that everyone agrees happened at that time. If you alone remember something without tell tails - your brain will invent things to fill your memory in for you to feel comfortable. Think of those times when you were sure something happened and your friends corrected you.
One way the simulation theory is more realistic than religion is it times up a lot of loose ends compared to religion. 1. A virus in the simulation could have caused disease and make practically the entire universe a black inhabitable death of destruction 2. The creator doesn't communicate with us directly because it would be similar to a gamer talking directly to the characters in gta5. Its not possible. 3. Atoms and molecules. Right now, humans create pixels when making video games and TVs. Lately, more and more pixels are in the same spot making it harder for us to see the pixels and making the screen clearer. What if atoms and molecules are the creators pixels? Bring on the hate
Shark Wave A disease doesn't have to be the result of a glitch. Imagine developing your own computer game or writing a book. If you didn't want a disease in the story, there would be none. Instead, consider that the developers of our simulated universe actually want there to be a death plague?
Justin Rhoades 1. That could explain the 'god myth'. 2. If you had an ant farm, you wouldn't really care what your ants were feeling. Or if you did, it would only be out of mild curiosity .
I wrote a short story (published on Amazon) that was inspired by a paranormal experience I had when I was little. I was about seven or eight, when I woke up one morning with the strong feeling it was my first day of life. I could remember the day before, my family, my name, how to talk, and everything I knew before, so I certainly didn’t act like a newborn. And yet, for about an hour after waking up that day, it really felt like I was brand new. A glitch in the matrix?
Consciousness creates matter. We are all, both living and dead, merely points of energy suspended in a vast void. Not unlike the night sky that is but a weak imitation of our true being. Time, as we in the physical state know it, is an illusion that allows us to experience things like pain and suffering and loss as well as joy and ecstasy. It allows us to learn and grow from those experiences while in the dream like state we call life on Earth. When we die it is like an awakening. People you know are there. They're glad to have you back, excited to hear all about it and help you to process everything and prepare for your next foray. Meanwhile time is experienced differently in this "after life" state. All events exists simultaneously and can be accessed at will. Of course existing in such a reality requires a much broader consciousness than one is normally capable of here on Earth. Its difficult to describe but try to imagine every single moment in time frozen AND layered on top of one another and the way to access each layer is to shift ones "perspective" so to speak. For example, imagine a man. Now imagine him as a new born and watch as he ages into frailty and eventually death. Now imagine each moment of his aging layered like pages in a book and compressed into a single person. And that's not to say your life is written down in a big book somewhere and predestination controls everything. Everyone has free wail it's just that every possible choice is also layered into the pages of that book with probability factor playing a big part of what potential realities will rise to the top of the book. And yes, the layers are infinite. If you're a fan of Rick and Morty you will be surprised to know how accurate in principal many aspects of the show are. Together, this vast number of souls that encompasses infinite universes combines to form the mind of God or that which is called "All That Is". Because remember, consciousness IS all there is, really.
Consciousness creates matter and other reality? But then how is that I can fall asleep, stop being conscious, AND STILL wake up in the morning and exist again? After (according to your theory) existence has stopped?
@@rodschmidt8952 think of it as teleportation, you on the other side has all the memories from the previous you but can be argued that its not the same you, this another person with your memories. the same philosophy can be applied to sleeping.
I think the best way to figure out if we're in a simulation is to try to determine what kind of simulation we would be in: Ancestral/Educational, Recreational, or Experimental.

UFO's are observations that are unidentified flying (Objects seen up; seen while flying)objects, hence the term UFO. Just means objects are yet unidentified. When they are identified, then we'll know. Until then, smh.
you should do one on the most wierd coincidences. I heard of one where i guy was on holiday in, i think it was south Africa. Anyway... he was passing a pay phone when it started ringing. His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to answer it. Only to find it was his neighbour from back in the UK who had the wrong number.

Tbh at this point in my life, id just take the blue pill....as was said in the matrix..ignorance is bliss. Also after watching the vid, blue pill, definitely blue pill....too much mind fuckery. Cool theory tho..
Amazing video! And you didn't even mention the double slit experiment that,in my opinion, corroborates with the biocentrism idea. Also, the speed of light that is (in theory) the maximum speed that any particle can reach is the maximum speed of processing the simulation information. Interesting ideas but i still don't biy it.
I can't help but think that when you are trying really hard to find something, you'll eventually find it. Kind of like looking at clouds and seeing the shape of something familiar.
Emme I think the point was that it's not impossible to prove, so there's a chance we will find an answer. Since it's a possibility and it's currently being explored hopefully we'll find out soon! :-)
I was once a cacti collector. Had hundreds of specimens from all over the world. I was searching for a particular south american cactus and stopped in at a large commercial greenhouse to see what cacti they had. When I walked in, a young man who worked there, who apparently had Down's Syndrome or something similar, came up and motioned me to follow him. We wound our way to the very back of the huge facility where the cacti were and he excitedly pointed to a single specimen of the species I was searching for. I never told him what I was looking for nor could he speak clearly. Mind. Blown.
Duude. I’d love to know what went through his mind.

I went to a record and CD fair looking for Ace's 'How Long' with the brilliant Paul Carrack (he was singing lead vocals, not accompanying me to the record fair).
This is a fairly obscure song - it only reached no.20 in the UK in 1974 and this was 16 or 17 years later.
I walked up to the first table in this large hall, told the guy on the stand what I was looking for, and he said, 'I think I have it somewhere'. He had several hundred CDs stacked on his trestle tables, yet the first one I pulled out was the song I was looking for.
When I went in, was half expecting to draw a blank and leave empty handed after spending perhaps an hour searching at the record fair. Instead I was in and out in under a minute, cd in hand.

Physical reality is like a boot camp training course for souls but far more sci-fi and other worldly than even Steven King could imagine. Because the being putting you through this course and looking over you, is you yourself. A future self. If you don't have any spiritual or occult knowledge you will scoff at this and laugh. And if you do then you won't laugh but it will be a struggle to believe. Still there it is.

Once me and my then boyfriend were chatting on phone.. I was drawing a flower on my text book and my bf was only semi awake while speaking to me . He said "whats up with the flower drawing" I was shocked.. we were 2000 km away there was absolutely no way he could have known that I am doodling a flower on my text book. So my voice naturally shot up as i said "what did you just say" that was enough to wake him up and he has no recollection of saying what he said

You were probably kinda tranced out and didn't realize you mentioned that you were going to or were actually drawing flowers and he was dozing off and responded to that information. You might have said something about a stem or petal or mentioned flower or something under your breath, and he's your bf he likely knows that you draw or doodle.

Best argument I've heard against simulation hypothesis: irrational numbers. If we ever find a termination to an irrational number, then statistically we probably live in a simulation. However, as long as irrational numbers continue to go on forever with no repeating pattern, on irrational number would consume an infinite amount of bits in the simulation programming. Thought that was a clever explanation I would never have come up with.
That would be assuming that the simulation is similar and has a structure of our human-made computers. If we were in a simulation, we might never reach the end of an irrational number because that would require us to calculate to a level more powerful than the simulation that we run on. We would need to make a computer that's bigger than the universe.
Or the simulation could take short cuts in order to minimize the computing power for this function to allocate its resources elsewhere. Perhaps if we could measure the rate of information processing at the same time we run an overwhelmingly intense calculation to see information (entropy) happen at a slower rate. If it did, we could confirm that we are within some sort of device that is limited to a finite amount of processing power.
However this is unlikely a fruitful experiment because: The amount of processing power should be incomprehensibly astronomical as it is currently running special and quantum relativity from all observable angles simultaneously.
My best guess: quantum interaction is being simulated, or it is the fundamental truth of the universe, we just haven't found the way that it scales up to influence larger structures yet. In time we will; and then futuristic High School physics classes will laugh at their stupid ancestors for not comprehending "the basic concepts of reality".
Sadly, this isn't much help since this ignores or doesn't answer why we are here. it just assumes the smallest interaction will scale up and create everything we have through random encounters based on the impossibly exact set-up of the singularity.
Any simulation advanced enough to create this universe would have no problem regenerating numbers well beyond what anyone could ever calculate.
@@DaleSteel No need for that a simulation can have anything seem possible or impossible or both. ie all our math could be faked by a simulation.

This was SO interesting! My friend Geneva and I experienced a glitch TOGETHER! Geneva was washing dishes and I had my little pup on top of the kitchen island counter putting a belly band (male doggie diaper) on the little fellow. Geneva and I were in typical conversation. Without warning the entire vision of my kitchen shook and blurred like video static. Suddenly my hands were holding nothing but air. Geneva didn’t perceive the blur. In her words, Bentley (with belly band) just vanished from the counter and appeared standing happily on the floor without the belly band! The belly band was found back in the closet where I kept them. I was ecstatic! I felt I was special to experience this unique oddity with a witness. I’ll never forget Geneva’s big eyes and blanched white face. She was terrified! When I suggested that we needed to research our shared experience, she said she never wanted to think or talk about it again. I was so disappointed! The same experience with 2 different reactions...

For years I kept visiting a place in my dreams. This was the backyard of a house which was built on the side of a hill. The back yard was slanted down the hill and ended with a stream running across it. This dream I repeated many times until one day I met a girl who I went to school with and I gave her a drive home. On reaching her home she told me about her unusual backyard which she proceeded to show me. It turned out that was the place I was visiting over the years. After this I never dreamed about this place again.

The part where you said that things are only real once we look at it is scary to me. Most video games will only load things that you can see so you lag less. It corresponds to this a little and maybe one day, if we really are in a simulation, it will abruptly end because it can't "render" everything and just fails.
Youre not thinking out far enough. How long before a game will be able to save it's state in something, blockchain, and crash but repair itself? 15 years? maybe much sooner. As something within the system you wouldn't even know. You'd temporarily pause, and then continue knowing none the less.

Here's something that happened to me...here goes...
I was watching a movie with my husband that I had already seen twice. I didn't realize it before deciding to watch it again, but while we were watching it, I kept waiting for a specific scene in the movie that I wanted him to see. We got through the entire thing with no sign of the scene PLUS the movie had a completely different ending then when I'd previously seen it. I didn't think anything of it at the time figuring maybe there was an alternate ending and they just played that version culminating in the scene that I'd looked for, being edited out to support the ending. To no avail, my husband and I looked everywhere on the internet, to find the answer. Nothing. The next day I wanted to talk to my friends about what I'd experienced and ask if they'd seen the movie, so I planned to say something when we met to have lunch. As I started to try to describe what had happened I found myself unable to remember the movie that this was all about!!! It was like I could feel the men memory still there but there was something blocking it or surrounding it in my brain and wouldn't let me gain access no matter how hard I tried. I called my husband to ask him what movie it was and he couldn't remember either!!! I thought, "there is no way in hell this is happening!! I'll just look on my browser history to check it out and it will be solved." It was then and there that I first started realizing that there is something strange going on. This was almost nine year's ago now. The day was July 22nd my friend Julie's bday we were out celebrating at the time. I still try to remember the movie and the scene it is that has somehow escaped my mind. Til this day there's been absolutely no sign that I'll ever recall it...but I know that I'm not a crazy person.

I don't think we live in a simulation but a huge multi dimensional universe and being there are so many alternate realities of our own going on at the same time. So what I'm getting at is one of the other dimensions interjects itself into ours from time to time or vice versa. Since I've been getting in to eastern religion and ways to raise your consciousness. I've had so many odd experiences like people on here are explaining that simply can't be coincidence. Especially since I started Lucid dreaming. Exploring my overall consciousness has really been a trip. Like I only experienced the few times I used psychedelics but now I feel more in control of it without drugs.
@Mar M Well to start its havin a bit of foreshadowing ability of certain events. Like when my mother-and-passed away I dreamt a few nights before almost exactly how it happened and what caused. Same with my old 5th grade teacher I couldn't stop thinking about him one day for some reason then he passed the next day. Next just small things like saying something someone was thinking or saying right before they speak it. Lastly I had a Lucid dream about having a son instead of the daughter I have almost like it was an alternate reality I was being shown. Pretty wild...huh? There were other dreams I just should of wrote them down since I cant remember them now lol
It wasn't the butterfly effect was it? That had 2 different endings for no apparent reason. In one ending he ends up as a foetus and kills himself in the womb, and the other he sees the girl he loves on the street, who isn't aware who he is and he has to walk away without meeting her.
I don't know about glitches in a proverbial matrix but I have witnessed a very disturbing event. When I was 19 a friend of mine and I were at a bar unwinding after work. We left a bar (we were underage but my friend's aunt owns the bar), and on our way home the car quits. The transmission was on it's way out for a while at that point, so we weren't surprised. We are in the middle of nowhere. There was nothing but woods on this country road for as far as we could tell. We start walking. The only reason we aren't bummed out or pissed off was because we were dedicated stoners at the time and had a readily available stash on us. So we walk for hours until an van pulls up to us. A guy offers us a ride to his destination and the use of a phone when we get there. We agree and ride to this farm manor where the locals were having a party. There were like 40 or 50 people here and having a gold ole country time. We popped some cold ones and just shot the shit all night and even forgot to make our call for a ride. We both end up passing out. When we woke up, we were in a field. Not 30 feet away was the manor house but it was decrepit. I mean like not been lived in or worked on in decades decrepit. My friend is freaking out like dude I had the weirdest dream about that house. It could not have been his dream unless I suddenly had become telepathic in my sleep and read his mind. I was there too. All the stuff he was talking about matched my memories of the party. We remembered doing the sane stuff. So we walk around the place, determined to find some rational answer. Not only did we fail miserably, but the rabbit hole got deeper. We found a graveyard out back and some of the names of the people we had been introduced to at the party was on the headstones. We also found a memorial thing which told the story of an infuriated man who, angry that his wife had left him for another man, had driven to a party at that house and shot the ex wife, her new man, and many of the friends and family before killing himself. We flip out. Eventually we get to another house and the old lady there told us more of the story while we waited for a ride we called for using her phone. She was a little girl when it had happened almost 70 years prior. She described the people we met in detail. A guy with a limp, a woman who couldn't talk much because of a disease she had had, a guy who told jokes to make a sailor blush, and more. And she described the shooter. The description was a perfect match to the guy who had given us a ride to the party in the first place. I do not much believe in ooga booga stuff and I am not saying this experience is any one thing or another. But we both distinctly experienced it and neither of us can explain it. Before anyone chocks the whole thing up to very good weed, he had long depleted our supply and sobered up in the long miserable walk before the guy pulled up in the van. I really really really wish the answer were something as simple and normal as that.
Your story could make up up for a really entertaining movie. I really enjoyed reading it.

@sic semper tyrannus - yes but what kind of attitude, most gammers have in their videogames with their worlds? even in a strategy or civilization simulator? are they moral and saint people? or are they brutal evil destructive gods? Are you moral inside a game with those virtual npc's?
I guess that what i'm trying to say is that from the point of view of whomever made the simulation (if this is a simulation) we might just be npc's. toys with whom he/she/it can do whatever he/she/it pleases that included torturing them or subjecting them to a natural disaster... sadly...
AtMark nope. they would know we have feelings. would you mistreat a npc knowing that it can feel pain and suffer?
sic semper tyrannus, well, pain, death, sacrifice, and suffering is the base of all ancient religions. Without those conditions no one could ever experience love. If everything was just joy and pleasure no one would give a fuck about anyone, probably not even themselves. In terms of Judeo-Christian religions that's why anything involving joy and pleasure without the counterpart correlates with Satan. Anything involving pain and suffering also relates to Satan. It's only when both occur, pain and joy, that you can relate them to what's "good", aka day-night, Sun-Moon, Adam-Eve, Alpha-Omega, beginning-end, etc.
I had plenty of paranormal experiences in my life. When I was in the 4th grade, i visited a high school with my uncle for cub scouts. I stepped outside and a UFO came down, looked at me in a 45 degree angle and hovered there for a while before disappearing before my friends came outside. I also tend to see things that I can’t explain like a face in a group of trees, things falling over by themselves, voices that can’t be explain, and seeing shadow people before something bad happens. I also don’t dream, but when I do those dreams show a depiction of reality in a different setting. All of which sounds crazy, I know but its been through out my life and I feel like there’s more then just us in this world. I believe that as humans we also tend to go through multi parallel universes that we are unaware of until we realize something has changed. Like knowing that you put a pen in a specific spot at a specific time and when you go back to get it, it isn’t there but in a different spot.
Excellent point about the p en.
I constantly experience things like your pen story. All. The. Time. Thankfully, I've had witnesses to it enough that I no longer feel like a lunatic. Only one out of body experience, but people and electronics, especially computers and lights, do NOT like me much. I've had multiple lights just explode above me, after being on and working fine for some time, cash registers, cc readers, and video games quite often have to be reset when it's my turn to go, and an outrageous number of computer errors have impacted my life, like one page of a digital file will be missing on the other end, but is always part of the original file, and emails will vanish into thin air when I try to find them to use info in them, and will return to my inbox or saved location about an hour after the need has passed. Oh, and this is a really odd one, but when I go through the body scanners in airports, my lady bits set it over every single time. never had any piercings or tattoos or anything like that, and of course I'm not doing anything that would cause me to be searched on purpose, but here we are. I have to make jokes because it's too weird a thing to understand. lol No one has to convince me that there are glitches, I am a walking, talking glitch in real life, and it sucks. If I ever figure out how to use my powers, I'm going to fix the world, but sadly, no instruction manual yet.
It's crazy you mentioned some of the dreams. I had this happen one time. I had a dream about my ex-wife cheating on me. I had seen this guy one time in a crowded restraunt that she worked at and just had this overwhelming feeling that he was a threat somehow. Never seen or met him before and he wasn't even her customer so I couldn't explain it. Then a couple weeks later she introduced him at a bar and I just knew I didn't like him at all for no good reason at all. Then after a week or 2 I had a dream that I caught her with him at another bar. Now this is the really crazy part. In my dream they were in a bar I had never been in before but the layout was somehow familiar and it was named a bar that we normally went to. Then I woke up and noticed she had been off work for over 2 hours and still hadn't made it home. So I called her job and they told me she left with a co worker and went to the bar that I knew the name of in my dream. Well this kinda freaked me out so I went to that bar to see if she was there but it was closed for the night. On my way back home I took a different route and saw this new bar that had just reopened and her friends car was there so I walked in and this place was exactly like the one in my dream all the way to the placement of the restrooms the people that were there everything. Her and this guy I dreamt about were even at the same pool table that I saw in the dream. She kept telling me I was overreacting she couldn't understand why it had bothered me so much but after a week she ended up leaving me and went to a different state with the same guy. I don't know. Maybe by my reaction I actually willed things into reality but never could shake how strange the whole thing was
I was walking into a town with my ex and suddenly I had this awful feeling about his new girlfriend. I told him about it and he wanted to know more but it was really fleeting; so all I could say was it was a really bad feeling but it had gone now and I had no idea.
Anyway he married her and ended up drinking himself to death in his early forties. I wondered about the bad vibe a lot after he died.

Exactly! Every time I spend a tremendous amount of time inventing something, and then reveal it to someone else, they usually inform me where I can already buy it. Disappointing. Someone is tapping into my future brain from way back when.
So true! Happens all the time. If I see one more TV show use "Schrodinger's Cat" in an episode I will implode. LOL
Exactly. Happens to me as well
I'm a 14 yearold autistic kid and for my entire life I have had a lot of trouble with social cues but lately I've been finding patterns.
in what seems like utter chaos my brain will extend the situation to all of the possible endings by using what I know about the person's social patterns like what they will respond sarcastically to.
my adhd speeds up the process by hyper focusing on patterns and alot of those patterns line up with how I decided the conversation would go
it's like the people around me are all coded to have certain responses
and sometimes I feel like my brain is hardwired to carryout certain commands
I can empathize. This has been my recent experience too.
Quite fascinating, thank you for sharing such an intimate view of the how your mind processes information.
That's completely normal. Of course people follow certain patterns. And we are practically computers; our conscious is just creating explanations for us as to why we did what we did, so that we can make sense of what happens. There's not really such a thing as conscious free will. We just think we really wanted to do what we did.

Had this experience too and wonder if it's not more explainable as a processing error. Definitely gives me chills when it happens. Like when I was ten I had a dream I was sitting on playground talking to my friend and then weeks later exact scene plays out even my focus on this plant and then as my friend was starting to speak I almost panicked trying to tell her what she was going to say and that I'd seen it. That one somehow is the most memorable for me though I still have them time to time.

heres something scary: if we are in a simulation to observe the past of humanity, will our gods destroy us right before we create our own simulation to avoid creating an infinite loop? are all of us going to be erased 30 years in the future because we 'catch up' with the people operating our universe?

The weirdest thing for me is that there is a shortest period of time where we can't measure anything shorter (plank time) and also a shortest length were nothing can be shorter (plank length). This could totally be the pixel size and refresh rate of our simulation.
There is also a specific speed of light. Why is it the speed of light?
@@aygwm It ain't. The speed of light is affected by the stuff it's travelling through as well as by gravitational fields. Besides that, light has no mass and everything without mass behaves pretty much the same way.

Talking of 'glitches in the Matrix'...
Some years ago, when I lived in an old (18th Century) house in London, which was originally part of a grand estate from which the main house had long since been demolished, I experienced an inexplicable event which, to this day, I'm at a loss to explain. The house often felt strange and unnerving, even during the day.
I had an electric hand mixer in a cupboard, in the kitchen, which would have originally been situated in an old wash-house which was used as the estate laundry. The mixer was fairly new and had performed flawlessly since I purchased it. One day I took the mixer out of the cupboard, where it had been since its previous unremarkable use. When I attempted to insert the removable whisk attachments into their sockets on the base of the device only one would fit as the second one couldn't be inserted without fouling the first. I tried swapping the attachments, putting both in either place and rotating both of them multiple times without success. Eventually, I concluded that the only way to remedy the situation was to dismantle the mixer and inspect the mechanism. I am an engineer, so am familiar with such simple mechanisms and the types of material used in their manufacture. On removing the cover of the mixer it was evident that there was nothing broken or damaged that would explain the fault. I soon concluded that the only way to fix the problem was to remove a metal plate holding the two nylon rotating gears (into which the attachments were inserted) in place and rotate one of them to enable the whisk attachments to line up once more. I inspected the two nylon gears carefully and there were no signs of either of them having skipped in the slightest. The metal spindle of the motor, which had been machined into a driving worm gear was, similarly, entirely intact. The backlash of the gears was minimal and with the metal retaining bracket in place there was no conceivable way either of the nylon gears could have moved independently without significant damage, which was not the case. From that day onward the mixer has worked flawlessly, as it did before this incident, and I am at a loss to explain how it happened.
Something fell out when you opened it probably.

Ok here goes, when I'm drifting off the sleep in my mind's eye I can see lots and lots of little screens floating past my vision (in my mind's eye) and when I concentrate one one of thoes screens I can bring it into focus and it shows a scene of something going on. Like I'm watching the world through someone else's eyes. Often showing things and places I've never seen or experienced. I've talked to few people about this and once I described a street that an American friend used to live on. Down to the corner shop and what colour the houses were. I was obviously a bit freaked out when she told me that. Or another time I saw a moment at a place I worked at, a couple months later the same scenario actually happened. Dunno if it's evidence of the simulation hypothesis, but it's a cool thing to go to sleep wondering what part of the world I'll see that night.

I've been having dejavu ever since I was a kid. It usually happens just before, during or after something really bad has happened.
And it isn't just dejavu, it's a memory that I've dreamed the situation before.
I have really vivid dreams, and then maybe years later I have an accident, I get punched, i crash my bike, I faint in public etc and then a sudden memory of the dream comes rushing back.
I've been having one for the last few years that kinds feels like the aftermath of being run over by a car and being really messed up. And honestly I think about it now every time I cross the road.
Geez! I'm so glad you posted this as I thought it was just me. But in my case, it always occurred before something bad happened.
It got so bad, I always pray for protection the moment it happens.
There has to be something to this that's on a higher level.
It happened to me when my cousin died, weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.
"Wow, it's taking FOREVER for these Sims to get out of the maze..."
Deja vu has been pretty surreal for me sometimes.
Being in an exact situation I had thought about days or months, maybe years prior, happen, then BAM I remember I had a thought of my current situation in the past. Or as if I had just remembered the present as a memory. Very odd feeling, has happened a handful of times
Yes when I was a kid. Me & a group of friends had a motor scooter that we were taking it in turns riding in a grave yard. I was waiting with others, when I sat down on the edge of a grave stone. I closed my eyes & as I did I my freind was on my right. I had my eyes closed & saw him move from right to left & it was night time. When I opened my eyes, I expected him to be still on my right but he was now on my left. This freaked me out as my eyes were closed. Then I got a feeling that something was going to happen. So I started to go. My freind said what's up I said don't know but somethings wrong. Then we all except some who were laughing at me started to run then we heard & saw the lights of the local parks patrol bikes coming in the distance. Then I knew what the feeling was. We would have been caught if stayed.. it was like I'd dreamed it before. 👍✌❤👊

Hmmmm, deja vu?
one time when I was 12 I was up at 3am alone at my computer and I was trying to take a photo of my desktop image with my mom's point and shoot camera, It was a photo of the Matrix movie poster with Harry potter characters heads photoshopped over their heads, and when I took a few photos of it trying to get a good image and then I took one more and I looked at the image on the camera review screen and all of the heads and faces(and only the heads) on the image were covered in what I can only describe as green plasma or goopy looking stuff, it scared my so much I instantly deleted the image and ran into my bedroom... I never stayed up late again for a long time.... And the thing has also happened to me where one time I had a dream about a having a specific conversation with my friend while standing in a specific place and then I woke up for the day and vividly remembered the dream and what my friend had said to me in the dream, then that afternoon I happened to be talking to that friend and she started saying word for word what I had dreamt in my dream, also the scene in my dream was exactly the same.... It actually really shocked me and I was kind of weirded out for the rest of the day...
I would say that you taking the photo was a false awakening. You thought you were awake but you actually still asleep in your bed. They feel really real.
weo1weo1weo1 almost everybody experiences the dream thing, my best friend used to use it to cheat on tests, and I once changed something that I said, everybody looked at me weird when I did like they had expected me to say something else
Sometimes I dream of buildings and places I've never seen before, and then some time later, I see them in movies or while browsing Google maps. I don't think this is anything more than coincidence, given the number of people on the planet and the number of buildings, the odds of this coincidence happening aren't really that small (Joe did another video on how even the rarest coincidences would happen to thousands of people).
My uncle had a recurring dream of this shadowy figure that crawled through his window and stared at him at the end of his bed when he was a young teenager. He would wake up terrified in a mad sweat and the man was gone. This happened every night for months. My grandparents eventually called a priest in to cast out evil spirits and bless the home. The dream still continued. Finally one night before bed my uncle drew a portrait of the man in as best detail as he could, he's a very good artist, to see if anyone would recognize him. He went to bed after drawing it that night and fell into the most peaceful sleep. He woke up for the first time in months without having that dream. After he got out of bed he went to his desk to get the portrait to show my grandparents and the drawing was gone. Since then he's never had that dream again.
Not really about the simulation theory, just a interesting story that gives me goose bumps everytime I think of it.
Was this just his mind messing with him or was there a ghost type figure who needed to be validated in some way. If it was his mind playing tricks where did the portrait go?
This world is filled with so many unknowns that nearly everything and anything could be possible.
Sounds a lot like sleep paralysis.. Not sure about the picture though, could be a coincidence.
Still a creepy tale

Where I would usually just whip it out in the first place out of sight, I found myself going around from spot to spot until I knew It was right. Oddly enough, my friend apparently did the same thing.

The simulation theory also makes me think of free will. It's possible the choices we make every single day were never our own decisions.
Here's an example. Say I decided I wanted a cup of coffee. If something influenced me to want coffee, like in a game of the Sims, I would believe it was my decision to want coffee but the reality is that it was never my decision.
This could be true....if we find all causes and effects....for a given event...then it seems it really was never our choice....for eg...IAM typing this...cos ur comment triggered...this...and before....I watched this video....so....for our choices to be made there is something which leads to whatever choice we make...reply me if u want to talk more thanks..
"If something influenced me to want coffee" Yes, the last cup of coffee, and before that, another cup of coffee. The place to look for your decision process is the very first cup of coffee EVER in your life, or first cigarette, first Red Bull, first anything with addictive properties.
Does free will even exist?
@@murilokleine It does and it doesn't; depending on what you or anyone thinks it is. You can define it in a way that it doesn't exist in the real world, sort of like the square root of a negative number. Generally speaking that definition is useless and stupid; "free will" ought to mean something in the real world.
As you can see, some people use a particular definition as an excuse for taking no personal responsibility in their lives.
@@thomasmaughan4798 Both the presence or the absence of idea of free will can lead to nihilism, I don't think it makes it less or more real, though.
Make it about life or death, is the choice a product of free will or is it a consequence of the path your life has taken?
Isn't responsibility the same as caring to the point of taking action? Can one choose what to care about? Do we choose to stop or start caring?
It all seems to be about what interests people -- not necessarily in a good or in a bad way -- and what gets them going or not, meaning, it's not about free will at all, it's about who we are.
Not going to lie, I’m jelly of the original Creator’s of whatever level of simulation we are currently in...

I had a boyfriend once. Thought he was the one. We broke up. Flash forward 18 years. I had a pool table but moved and didn't have room for it. For some reason, I held onto the balls. Had a friend with a two year old who would always throw them out into my yard. We would always go and collect them but three of the balls were never found, we assumed they had made it to the creek and been washed away. Moving on... I found my long lost beau after 18 years apart. We got back together. When we moved in together, he had some random pool balls. When I asked about them, he told me while doing yardwork at an old house, he found them burried in the yard. He kept digging but there were only the three. He wasn't sure why, but he hung onto them. They were the three I was missing. Making them, together, a compete set.
We are currently arguing over the number of balls. He says it was four. There is no telling them apart so we'll just go with three. I'm usually right. 😜

How about the fact that you cannot remember a memory as a date, unless there is something to nail the memory, an event that everyone agrees happened at that time. If you alone remember something without tell tails - your brain will invent things to fill your memory in for you to feel comfortable. Think of those times when you were sure something happened and your friends corrected you.
One way the simulation theory is more realistic than religion is it times up a lot of loose ends compared to religion.
1. A virus in the simulation could have caused disease and make practically the entire universe a black inhabitable death of destruction
2. The creator doesn't communicate with us directly because it would be similar to a gamer talking directly to the characters in gta5. Its not possible.
3. Atoms and molecules. Right now, humans create pixels when making video games and TVs. Lately, more and more pixels are in the same spot making it harder for us to see the pixels and making the screen clearer. What if atoms and molecules are the creators pixels?

A disease doesn't have to be the result of a glitch. Imagine developing your own computer game or writing a book. If you didn't want a disease in the story, there would be none.
Instead, consider that the developers of our simulated universe actually want there to be a death plague?

I was about seven or eight, when I woke up one morning with the strong feeling it was my first day of life. I could remember the day before, my family, my name, how to talk, and everything I knew before, so I certainly didn’t act like a newborn. And yet, for about an hour after waking up that day, it really felt like I was brand new. A glitch in the matrix?

@@sheaballard3022 haha, exactly. If you are being "serious" about it, there ARE some theories....
We always try to relate the unexplainable to our knowledge. Hence attributing the universe to a computer code.
Humans have always been and very good at coming up with analogies and metaphors... 🤔🤔🤔
Except they actually found computer code..
Consciousness creates matter.
We are all, both living and dead, merely points of energy suspended in a vast void. Not unlike the night sky that is but a weak imitation of our true being.
Time, as we in the physical state know it, is an illusion that allows us to experience things like pain and suffering and loss as well as joy and ecstasy. It allows us to learn and grow from those experiences while in the dream like state we call life on Earth.
When we die it is like an awakening. People you know are there. They're glad to have you back, excited to hear all about it and help you to process everything and prepare for your next foray. Meanwhile time is experienced differently in this "after life" state. All events exists simultaneously and can be accessed at will. Of course existing in such a reality requires a much broader consciousness than one is normally capable of here on Earth. Its difficult to describe but try to imagine every single moment in time frozen AND layered on top of one another and the way to access each layer is to shift ones "perspective" so to speak. For example, imagine a man. Now imagine him as a new born and watch as he ages into frailty and eventually death. Now imagine each moment of his aging layered like pages in a book and compressed into a single person.
And that's not to say your life is written down in a big book somewhere and predestination controls everything.
Everyone has free wail it's just that every possible choice is also layered into the pages of that book with probability factor playing a big part of what potential realities will rise to the top of the book. And yes, the layers are infinite.
If you're a fan of Rick and Morty you will be surprised to know how accurate in principal many aspects of the show are.
Together, this vast number of souls that encompasses infinite universes combines to form the mind of God or that which is called "All That Is". Because remember, consciousness IS all there is, really.
Lookks like u squeezed.. information from Santana Dharma!!
Consciousness creates matter and other reality? But then how is that I can fall asleep, stop being conscious, AND STILL wake up in the morning and exist again? After (according to your theory) existence has stopped?
Rod Schmidt that’s not what he wrote. But apparently it is part of your interpretation.
@@rodschmidt8952 think of it as teleportation, you on the other side has all the memories from the previous you but can be argued that its not the same you, this another person with your memories. the same philosophy can be applied to sleeping.
I think the best way to figure out if we're in a simulation is to try to determine what kind of simulation we would be in: Ancestral/Educational, Recreational, or Experimental.
Recreational would explain why some people seem to have cheat codes on.
It might just be me but has anyone else done something or went somewhere and thought, wait I've dreamt about this happening.
once I dreamt of trolling someone on roblox (it was 4 years ago, please don't bash me) and the day later I did exactly that
Many times friend.
All the time lol
Ever heard about the heat death of the universe? Turns out that's when God's computer overheats
Now anytime a computer overheats I'll feel like I just ended a universe...
Wait, that sounds like I think I'm God... That came out weird.
Joe Scott Lol. Love the vids. Very informative
Thanks!
The startup of the run is more interesting...
I think this is the best UA-cam video I have ever seen. Philosophy and science all mashed together.
Some really great information. I have been looking into this as just having the information and it is blowing me away. This was the first time I heard of James Gates and him finding computer code in string theory/ Thanks Joe. Just subscribed
String theory has never been proven
So space is just the area we haven't unlocked yet. Can't wait for the next upgrade when we move to next planet.
It's all DLC content. Release date? A couple billion years.
I hear the devs are running a beta version you can download for free if you take DMT
this is my favorite episode of yours! such a mind-bender.
Me: " *takes the both pills* what now?"
High as fuck
simulated uncontrollable bowel movement ensues
Call a doctor if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.
STONKS ✓
You become Schroedinger’s cat. Neither dead nor alive.
Subscribed ;)
I came here after seeing the Why Files talk about this. Joe thanks for making more sense.
How would the simulators know whether they are also part of a simulation?
ITS turtle all the way down
Exactly...watch SOA anime it's so good!
Fast forward to the Navy admitting they see UFOs all the damn time.
Lol
It’s prolly just the mouse cursor
Well ufo is not proof of life elsewhere in the universe per say.
UFO's are observations that are unidentified flying (Objects seen up; seen while flying)objects, hence the term UFO. Just means objects are yet unidentified. When they are identified, then we'll know. Until then, smh.
you should do one on the most wierd coincidences. I heard of one where i guy was on holiday in, i think it was south Africa. Anyway... he was passing a pay phone when it started ringing. His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to answer it. Only to find it was his neighbour from back in the UK who had the wrong number.
I mean technically, if it’s like a game, someone has to run our character so we do actually have a soul( the person running us). The person running us is our soul and our body is our character
Claire Woodland nice! That’s one of the theories I’ve put forth too 👍
Why do we need anyone running us? In theory an advanced people could simulate human brains too.
Tbh at this point in my life, id just take the blue pill....as was said in the matrix..ignorance is bliss.
Also after watching the vid, blue pill, definitely blue pill....too much mind fuckery. Cool theory tho..
Amazing video!
And you didn't even mention the double slit experiment that,in my opinion, corroborates with the biocentrism idea.
Also, the speed of light that is (in theory) the maximum speed that any particle can reach is the maximum speed of processing the simulation information.
Interesting ideas but i still don't biy it.
I looked five minutes into the future when I was fifteen. I saw the events occur in my mind. Then the events unfolded in reality.
Yep I did the same thing very interesting this whole space time thing.
Sounds like u have psychic abilities
Once you discover that your reality is not real you just opened up the door to another world
I can't help but think that when you are trying really hard to find something, you'll eventually find it. Kind of like looking at clouds and seeing the shape of something familiar.
Simulation theory is not non falsifiable; there is funded research looking for proof as we speak.
lebroy that doesn't mean they will definitely prove or disprove it.
with our CURRENT knowledge and technology it is non-falsifiable. ----maybe in the future!
Emme I think the point was that it's not impossible to prove, so there's a chance we will find an answer. Since it's a possibility and it's currently being explored hopefully we'll find out soon! :-)
lebroy He did qualify with today's tech
