We live in a simulation

One can only wonder
But the idea is like candy for my brain
And according to worlds top astronomers, they believe in the future we will be able to detect "glitches" in the simulation
that would prove it

Check out this meme video.. funny, but perhaps the simulation even runs deeper then we think

HUMANS are living in a simulation, according to two of the world’s top astronomers who claim there is also evidence to prove it.

If I am in a simulation then can I not be held responsible for my actions?

I didnt understand. do you mean like life?

a reply to: Jimmycrackerson2

Yes but the joysticks are in the hands of the criminally insane.

reallyy?? are they artistic too a little?

I have entairtained the idea that we live in a simulation for a while as possibility but not as an actuality.
In one sense we live in simulation of our brains that recreate an external world based of f our senses.
I'm suspicious though of why this idea that we live in a simulation is suddenly being seeded in the human collective consciousness along with the idea that robots are going to take are jobs and this push towards transhumanism. I feel there is a bigger picture

Our entire universe is a open world mmo game
Created by a advance race.

Yes, because there are simulated laws and police that will simulate a arrest on your avatar

In the end it really does not matter if we do..
Because this "simulation/reality" is all we got.

Its like the happy animal in the zoo, might as well be

Programmed to think that perhaps..
who knows..

I just pulled out my pocket knife and sliced my hand open a little.
It's bleeding.
This "pain" program is some pretty advanced stuff. It hurts so bad I almost believe it's real.

In most games they are

the pain mod is necessary for the avatars to take the simulation seriously.
There are a glitch in some avatars that lack the ability to feel pain, that is not a good think as one would think.

ues i was programmed to think i was gamebot. i said `wooow i am gamebot`

a reply to: Spacespider

Ugh. Not this again.

Ever since the Matrix movies. "Reality isn't real! " A bit like saying "water isn't water! " or "my parent's basement isn't a basement! " or "politicians aren't after your money! "

If reality truly is a "simulation" spanning some 93 billions light-years, then who's the poor programmer who hit the "run" button over 13 billion years ago, and who programmed him? It's just a circular argument, not unlike creationism, meant to entertain the delusion that Reality, in all its ugliness, is somewhat "not real". It's a disappointing, ostrich-like concept.

Btw, isn't Exoress.co.uk a sensationalist tabloid?

No, not a glitch. Just a neural problem.

I am colour-blind myself. It's not a glitch, it's just that my eyes lack the chemical structures that usually emit a signal upon receiving an electromagnetic radiation.

No "advanced aliens simulation" needed.

Yes, quite emphatically, we live in a simulation. Let's recognize the issue: Your job is to do a better job of than you did last time. Your only clue in this go-around is that since you are here, again, you screwed up royally last time and must run the game again. It looks like you are failing again, dude.

This was interesting.
