    When I see this kind of story, I think, "How many levels down are we? How many levels up would we have to go to breach actual reality?"

      I do think reality is sort of simulation judging of weird stuff that can be done if one has access to correct tools. Some really funky and beneficial can be caused. It is just that they always open more questions and mystery as a result. Reality is a fun and so weird game we are chosen to play.

      Leave it to "shower thoughts" to invent a computer program which literally manifests the entire Akashic Records using a random number generator.
      [smh] That has got to be the absolute pinnacle of [human bullshit]™ ever in the history of ever.
      Imagine being a third party when a human explains this to them:
      Human: "Oh yeah, you see - we long since had this concept of our reality, that the absolute details of which we can never hope to fully comprehend and then the super reality whereby everything is perfectly understood. Some toga wearing dude put it 'We can only know that we cannot know.' So, this one ancient religions even imagined that there was a supernatural collection of all the knowledge which could ever exist, which was prefect and correct."
      Xeno: Well lots of primitive cultures form philosophies regarding knowledge they do not have in order to separate what is known from what isn't known.
      Human: Exactly, so we made one.
      Xeno: made one what?
      Human: The supernatural hall of records containing all knowledge.
      Xeno: You di- wait, what?
      Human: Yeah, we just went ahead and made it.
      Xeno: Fucking whAT?!
      Human: yeah, actually a lot easier than you'd think - you see what we did was made this virtual library of complete garbled idiocy using a random number generator-

    "This simulation. We have determined that we are nested within no less than 6 simulated realities. You didn't know?"

    Now that's one of the better outcomes for a "simulation theory" universe. Nice of EVE to help all of us instead of just saving herself.
    Although it amuses me that the Simulated Universe theory is just Creationism by another name.

    • @derekstein6193
      @derekstein6193 Рік тому +3

      "...Simulated Universe theory is just Creationism by another name."
      Not really. In Creationism, the Creator is not limited by form or function. A simulated universe is still limited to the limitations of the universe that the Simulator resides in. Creationism also has no need of a continuous supply of energy to keep Creation going; it is self-sustaining. A simulation needs continual energy to continue operating, which is couched in universal principles, such as the Law of Conservation of Energy and the Laws of Thermodynamics.
      Both share some parallels, but are not inherently the same.
