black holes and dark matter are the errors starting to pop up

speaking through the fractal of conciousness given to me by what we refer to as "god" or the universal conciousness, for a brief second.

yall need to stop, just enjoy eating fresh fruit and chill the fuck out. maybe go fishing or something. also war is fake n'd gei. trump is on the epstein files (shocker, i know) and all of your politicians are merely a buffer for the ruling elite class, the ones you refer to as oligarchs, corporate leaders, tech bros, etc. id like to say you could handle this with words, but nope. they are mentally ill psychopathic pedophiles, rapists, and mass murderers, and the only cure for entrenched corruption like this is death. kill them, or they will eventually kill all life on earth.

on the bright side, the current living generations are the last ones who will be able to enjoy the literal fruits of the world that dont come from a can, or are made in a lab. the actual last living generation will be doing a lot of cannibalism and fighting for the shadows of what you currently consider rights and privileges, all for naught.

unless you buck up, and start killing them. this is your future.

fun to watch/experience either way, for me at least. god/universal conciousness......out!

huh...... that was weird...... i suddenly have a great and overwhelming feeling of grief, terror, and anger.

ill just go play some video games and jerk off. that usually gets my mind off of things...

potential states are affected by observation.

Nothing about running out of resources though.

Relax, they're just staring at the skybox.

No we just get rebooted, in which case the side effects are Mandela effects and those points in history where we are all aware something definitely changed or glitched out overnight.

The part that makes me really laugh is that this mouth breather was replying to Hank Green. Like, Tyson is an overbearing know it all, so I can see people being into trying to "debate" him so that can use his arrogance to justify their dumb beliefs. But Green is a very ground level science communicator who can always bring these kinds of idiotic arguments down to earth and destroy them with plain logic.

Ah fuck they've figured it out

[–] Marleyinoc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's silly. As our tech evolves so does the Simulation's. So we'll never crash it.

False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we'll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.

So the universe is a trans allegory?

We live in The Matrix. The Matrix is a trans allegory.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Simulation theory doesn't equal The Matrix.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was just explaining what they were saying because you expressed confusion.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah I wasn't really confused, I just meant to make the point that simulation theory != Matrix. Matrix is A simulation, but simulation theory doesn't necessitate that we all have real bodies in a "real world". In fact, I think the matrix version of the simulation is less likely, as it would be more complex to achieve, at least in our reality. In simulation theory, if the simulation stops and is deleted, there may well be literally nothing left of us. That's not a trans allegory, that's an existential crisis

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

So you feined confusion in order to set someone else up to make you look smarter than they are.

Interesting choice. Much to analyze there.

I know that The Matrix is a trans allegory but simulation theory isn't necessarily the same as being imprisoned in a simulation. It means we might not exist at all. Simulation goes away, we go away. Or maybe it's like The Matrix and we're all trans eggs. There's no way to know which version it is or how many people are real vs simulated.
