Lex's humble curiosity is adorable even though he runs the simulation.
So good haha
Adorable meanings you like him
Lex you need to read the short story "Creator" by David Lake (about 1977-78)
I’ve watched the full interview twice and still click these clips while scrolling lol
i get what you are trying to say but i must disagree with that assessment and i would encourage you to rethink your opinion on the matter
I'd love to know what you thought "off the record."
Sometimes I watch some TV show from the early 90s... Even looking at the horrible resolution of the tv at the time seemed like reality of a real life. Today my 4k tv feels the same. Sometimes we think simulation is impossible because everything looks so real. So did my Sony 530 lines of resolution in 1992. I'm not sure if its or not.... But its truly possible.
Even in 4k, you will quickly see the pixels, but in the universe around us, things can be EXTRAORDINARILY small: "The smallest possible size for anything in the universe is the Planck Length, which is 1.6 x10-35 m across." Compared to that length, the pixels of your TV are fantastically BIG.
In a simulation, the amount of memory to store everything around us - humans, animals, vegetation, etc. - would be INSANELY big - beyond imagination - and moreover, you would need the computing power for the simulation which would be INSANELY big.
In fact, it's entirely possible that all the COMPUTERS on the planet wouldn't be enough to simulate perfectly ONE human being and the quantity of information to represent that ONE human would be insane.
"Holy sh*t! This guy's taking Roy off the grid! This guy doesn't have a social security number for Roy!" 😂
What's with the majority of replies not showing up? Not the type of video i expect needing moderated or ppl getting triggered to the point they're getting posts deleted.
Just because matter is wholly only an expression of motion doesn't mean existence doesn't exist.
Exactly I don't understand why people embellish these theories. They're thinking too much. Life is not a video game
A few years ago I had a psychedelic experience where I kept seeing a strange computer like grid. And oddly enough, I knew nothing about simulation theory at the time. Strange thing to hallucinate.....
Based off "many worlds" the idea that a simulation is created would at least be in 1 of them, and then ability to create endless simulations with the ability to create the world we find ourselves in I think is highly likely
100%
“In my life time…” needs to be reevaluated from here on out.
WATCH “ The 13th Floor “ … a virtual world inside a virtual world. , inside a virtual world…….
I've thought about this a lot and my current thinking is - so what? It's no more bizarre than any other explanations to the origins of our existence.. actually it's less bizarre than a lot of other plausible explanations
Lex, I would have enjoyed you and Todd Howard having this same discussion
The better simulation is, the more performant/complex hardware should be. I think creating perfect simulation is equally hard as creating actual objects. Hence there's no clear boundary between simulation and reality. In other words: perfect simulation of reality _is_ a reality.
I want to believe I am a simulation because reality has been weaponized with shame and blame, which I avoid doing.
Wait Lex, do you play Elden Ring? Game balance and optimized player experience aside, imagine a (somewhat or fully) simulated version of The Lands Between… now add some Brain-computer interface tech with UI.
The simulation hypothesis is wrong...!
Simulation requires an Obscene amount of energy....
...that much energy simply is not Available to any planet/ civilization..
And yes, Energy May be infinite...
...but the “Physical” material used to collect that energy is “Finite”...!
You can call that physical material anything you want...ie Lithium, Hydrogen,,, dilithium... antimatter,....kiber-crystals.....etc...
...but What ever it is, it is Finite....
Also collecting energy generates waste... which is also a limiting factor...!
It depends on what you mean by "simulation". God sitting by his PC while it runs Universe.exe? No, there's no scientific evidence for that. But why is the speed of light the same for all observers? That's a weird one, and it's reminiscent of parallel computing. Like the universe is real in some sense, but 3D space isn't. Like the things we call "particles" are tiny little computers and the universe is a humongous network of them. So (1) what we perceive as "proximity" between particles is a connection between microprocessors, (2) motion is the process of adjusting those connections, (3) c is the speed of their communication, and (4) time dilation is what happens when center-of-mass motion starts hogging the processor's CPU power. 🤔
One could argue that the story of Creation in Gensis is describing the setup of a simulation.
one could say a whole lot of things
You could, it would just be a pointless arguement that couldn't be proven or taken seriously.
Feels like a program start up guide for coding a simulation for a society using the language of the time,a language we no longer truly understand
@@DocGamerGirl why does it feel that way to you?
@@DocGamerGirl the order doesn't match up with how we understand the process of the universe and it doesn't match up with evolution.
Never understood what the big draw of simulation is to people. If I found out tomorrow that simulation was proven beyond any doubt and went out and robbed a bank in broad daylight and got caught, I would go to prison and get however many years penalty. Nothing would be any different. I would still have to eat, I would still feel pain. I couldn't just click my heals together and be back home. It's like realizing that there is probably life on other planets, it doesn't change anything one way or the other. Unless they come here, then, if we are in a simulation, it still would matter the same.
Yes, in a sim you can see and do stuff. In your simulation you could snow ski, but you wouldn't feel cold, you wouldn't smell the great outdoors and if you go off the side of the cliff you'll still be able to go to dinner & have a good time.
Realising there is life on other planets absolutely does change things. Its terribly narrow minded to say other wise.
No, are there two of the exact same person? We are in - Infinitism!
If all Mathematics is computational, and all physics is mathematics.
And all quantum physics is just “shut up and calculate”.
It sure seems like a simulated universe would be precisely the kind of universe in which Mathematics works - that is precisely the reason to take it seriously.
Does anyone else see the thumbnail moving?
I thought you were in the amazon
You should treat virtual worlds as just as real? Why?
For ethical and moral purposes
The creators of the simulation appear to be receiving ad money from the Coca Cola corporation.
Indeed, Coke is great for destroying teeth
We are the Eternal Life,
All experiences, Motion, development, simulations,
happends IN the Eternal Life, With-In the Eternal Life.
in the Consciousness of Living Beings,
'Simulation' is the Way, Consciousness form and perform Life.
So, Life is an Inner Affair, No one have ever seen the Being,
Behind the Living.
Light can't be seen, can Only be Known,
what We see as Light, is but electro magnetic waves,
Simulating 'the Idea, of Light'.
All Stuff, is degrees of 'Frozen Light'.
Without the Eternal Perspective, You wont fully understand
the nature of Life-Performance.
If we conclude that life is a simulation, we make God false and a liar.
Lex's hands would be bigger in a different universe.
Do you think…it’s possible…this is all in Joe Rogan’s thick skull?
If life is a simulation we would have found bugs by now. I don't think you can program a perfectly consistent program.
Biden. The fact that all your people think he's in charge, haven't questioned it just played along. NPCs.
How would you be able to recognize the bugs
Even the bible says we are living in a simulation that god made
No shit its a simulation. Within another sim, and another..... and the architects of each simulation is a "God"
Maby wee are in some low tear movie no magic or supernatural elements and the protagonist was just not born iet but iet again protagonist can find all cainds of wird stuff aut of noware
And its easy to tink wee are insid a simulator way not insid a movie insted...
deadpool skill: [fourth oo wall break] code
If people biond the creen think deadpool is crazy and ignore him then wee are insid a comic universe
It was deapool foult anyway: adress omniverse
Simulator: haw come the admnistrador of the administrator and oo alow for use to think its a simulator there must bee an error in the code or its comedy.
Movie wold : there is no magic or supernatural element and i have never seen aliens so low budget one or vampires are samewere like twilight and underwold_ ps rich guys will go crazy over marcus corvinus and sparklings vampires or wee are just wating for the protagonist to ancover the stargate undergraund
Comedy universe[- maby...something like big ban teory
My skill is not anuff to see it clearly...
Answer: no
Explain 🤷♂️
Well, that settles it.

Lex Fridman is great presenter and should stick to science. He appears pentagon shill when he talks about geo-politics.
Yes but it's REAL
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can’t take a scientist’s opinion seriously when he thinks there is such a thing as free will…….!
This may be a simulation , but there still isnt a god…. This guy has some holes in his philosophy.
To be clear, there is no evidence that this is a simulation or that a god exists.
Here ya go - From Brian Whitworth’s article, “Exploring the Virtual Reality Conjecture”:
“The Evidence
We know how simulations operate, so how does our world measure up?
Ten reasons to suspect that the physical world is a simulation
1. The big bang. That our universe arose from “nothing” in an initial time zero event makes no sense
for an objective reality, but every virtual reality boots up from nothing in itself.
2. The speed of light. An objective reality has no reason for a maximum speed, but every simulation screen has a maximum refresh rate that limits local transfers.
3. Planck limits. An objective space has no reason to be discrete, as our world seems to be at the Planck level, but a virtual space must be so.
4. Non-locality. Effects that instantly affect entities anywhere in the universe, like entanglement and quantum collapse, are impossible in an objective reality, but a program can alter pixels anywhere on a screen, even on one as big as our universe.
5. Malleable space-time. Mass and movement should not alter time or space in an objective reality, but a massive body could use up local processing to dilate time and curve space.
6. Randomness. If every physical event is predicted by others, a random quantum event is an impossible "uncaused cause", but a processor creating a virtual world can be its cause.
7. Empty space is not empty. In an objective reality empty space is "nothing at all", but space as null processing can spawn the virtual particles of the Casimir effect.
8. Superposition. Objective entities cannot spin in two directions at once as quantum entities do, but a program can divide itself to do this7.
9. Equivalence. That every electron in our world is exactly like every other8 is untenable for an objective world, but simulations typically use entity templates.
10. Quantum tunnelling. An electron "tunnelling" through an impenetrable field barrier, like a coin popping out of a perfectly sealed glass bottle, is impossible if objects continuously exist, but not if they are discrete event frames.
Each of the above is fundamentally impossible for an objective reality but not for a virtual one. The evidence is that our world behaves like a simulation, so by the duck principle:
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck.”
@Tex.T.elegram-Lex_Clips I don't know what your message means. First and foremost, I love these videos, almost everything about them is excellent. Great questions and great answers. However I have a bug-a-boo with Carroll saying that mathematically lots of things are possible, but God isn't.
There is one reality. Mathematics is a tool to help us understand it. Mathematical possibility doesn't define reality anymore than a mirage our eyes see define reality. We need to understand our tools and their limits.
I forget the exact context, but Carroll said something like "If you don't believe in the math, then what do you believe in?" A good answer is "I don't know", not to say you believe in some nonsense that you have no proof of other than a mathematically possibility. If you're going to believe in a mathematical possibility, then don't discount people who believe in the moral possibility of a God.
Belief, and it's companion faith, should be left out of science. Talk about beliefs and nonsensical possibilities actually being real makes physics exciting to many people who want to believe in something bigger than what we actually know and understand, but it shouldn't be used to mislead people about reality. Science is the process of using nature to understand nature. No "super-nature" explanations are allowed. The "supernatural" is the domain of religions. The belief in the supernatural has its place in many people's lives, but science should just stay out of it. The people who get into science beyond what's real just want attention, not to understand or teach.
While I'm at it, science should also stay out of politics. Science and politics are exact opposites in terms of human endeavors. Politics uses the "halo of truth" that's come to surround science to further political agendas. Well meaning scientists get sucked into politics with the hope that they're doing something good and noble, only to find that they're being used and they'll lose their state funded career if they object. I assume they tell themselves "at least some good will come from me misrepresenting the facts and I can still have my house, car, boat, ski trips to Afton..."
It's up to each and everyone of us to keep science the pursuit of knowledge and not be corrupted by demagoguery or politics.
I unsubscribed to this a while ago because nearly half the videos were about "are we in a simulation" and came across this again and here we are. 🙄 so lame. So boring
lex sucks
Are we in a simulation or are we stuck in a black hole ? Who cares just smoke weed and get pissed & enjoy the mystery ❤️
What in the world did you just say? 🤣🤣
