No, there's far more axioms that have to be met than just those two, and they are more complex questions than you imply. You say it comes down to two questions but you literally included another immediately precondition after, so that's at least 3 questions just from your post.

For a start, it may not be humanity who are the limiting factor, rather the universe. I.e it's not possible to process enough information or produce machines powerful enough under the laws of physics. There's a whole list of pre-conditions that need to be met, and each one of them has a bunch of deep considerations to make, they aren't simple yes or no questions.

Then there's other stuff like is it inevitable a civilization wipes themselves out at a certain level of advancement etc (related to the Fermi paradox).

And you want to discuss these things but then not be serious? Wut? This is how you attempt to get to truth, by following logic through properly, not assuming a bunch of flimsy axioms that probably aren't all true 'are true'. Then building your own model and claiming it's 'evidence' with no actual evidence at all.

These things are fun to discuss, but you need to stay intellectually honest otherwise it just becomes pure and utter fiction. My primary issue is with you claiming a model you propose with no evidence or real basis (i.e sleep paralysis is an artefact of a simulation) can be classified in any sense of the word as 'proof'

When you wake someone up you think they are immediately awakened? I imagine it to be like flicking a light switch and seeing the light come on. While it seems immediate there is an amount of time that passes.

Being woken abruptly causes other biological responses as well, such as the release of adrenaline.

Again, if you have another explanation, I’m all ears.

Also, I acknowledge that simulation theory is based on nothing more than reasonable thought experiments with no real evidence. I would never claim it to be fact or even discuss it without that disclaimer.

Used to practice Lucid Dreaming quite a bit. I got decent at achieving it on demand but it's pretty difficult. It's worth practicing to get better, it's definitely life changing.

All I know is when I lucid dream I go on a rape spree. It's freakin awesome. No female is safe.

I used to get sleep paralysis regularly when i was younger and only ever got to lucid dream maybe a couple of times. I remember initially when i had the the paralysis episodes they were quite frightening .. thered be something watching me in the room or creeping up to me while i couldnt move. Usually it was just me waking up and not being able to move. Eventually got used to them and infact started enjoying them. A recurring one was when i knew i was lying face down in the pillow yet i could still see myself from up in the room. It was quite amusing.

They are just dreams that your mind is hallucinating while you are awake. All that simulation stuff is psychobabble along with those hippies who go on about astral projection etc. The brain is a wonderful machine.

Everything you just said is included in question one. You're trying to make it more difficult than it is. Of course all these things have to be considered. But they're included in the question for people that can process this in a thought chain.

It's about answering these questions for your self and see how much probability you give it. I'm a critical thinker, not a tinfoil hat. And if you're not to close minded you will apprechiate that simulation theory is a very real possibility. Doesnt mean that it's true of course.

And I'm not trying to publish a scientific paper here, broski, so skipp me with that evidence for my model BS lmao. It's just a fun discussion on a tranny and trump forum, so relax.

Well, suicide rates would increase significantly so there's that.

What if you stuck and you never wake up?

Would be interested to hear your thoughts/experiences of acid. I've had SP a fair few times, and recently as well (one was after a night of mdma) which was quite terrifying but also kind of enjoyable in a strange exhilerating way. I usually get it when sleeping on my back or in different places other than my bed. Have never really lucid dreamed before though. Wish I could.
