i wouldnt say we're in a computer simulation but we probably are some sort of advance experiment created by some aliens lol

I feel like it doesn't even matter unless you can escape the simulation.

1. "The fraction of human-level civilizations that reach a posthuman stage (that is, one capable of running high-fidelity ancestor simulations) is very close to zero", or
2. "The fraction of posthuman civilizations that are interested in running ancestor-simulations is very close to zero", or
3. "The fraction of all people with our kind of experiences that are living in a simulation is very close to one"

which of those do you believe is true?
tbh i've had varying thoughts on this. i dont really want to discuss it right now, but i will say an argument i've had before is this. all of the arguments you just stated seem to be under the belief this IS a simulation 100%.

i dont believe its a simulation. i believe humans are attaching meaning to something that isn't there.

the molecules don't move according to how we'd like; any meaning we attach to it is a mental construct we've attached to it ourselves.

we can maybe manipulate it in so far as what we know about it

but our brains simply evolved as a tool to help us within our environment. our environment has been replaced with things that didn't used to be there; almost don't provide enough satiety (for what it's wired for) and we get thoughts like this.

logic is a mental construct

Are the aliens also an advanced experiment, from even more advanced aliens?

But if you aren't denying any of those assumptions then the result is that the probability of any single reality being a base reality is very very small. This probability is the result, not the assumption.

Here's what some people call a bug in class Physics of WorldSimulator.java (dry humor for my CS brahs)

im not sure you understand how deep this goes..

you seem to be operating under the pretense that this "simulation" is for sure

there are a lot of disturbing thoughts about this stuff. it can even go so far as the ego being an illusion brought on by language; which gives questions to consciousness

there are anti-materialist theories that result from that.

a lot of stupid chit mayne; some of it's impossible to talk about without the requisite knowledge of quantum mechanics.

for anti-materialist theories, there was a harvard study that proved that neurons within the head can't act as fast as the speed of light.

this goes completely and utterly against my views that Jaden Smith is Satan and that he is indeed a pioneer... How can eyes be real?

I dont know what to think anymore

This theory is similar to the idea that all except source, oneness, God etc is an illusion. Essentially a virtual reality.

Technically he is correct in saying that we wont be able to tell a difference between real input from out senses vs artificial in the near future, but come on man. Stop trying to blow the minds of average people with wrong information.
Here I was thinking I was the only one who couldn't fully connect Elon's arguments to the "simulation"
