Simulation Theory Explained and Examined.

in #psychology7 years ago

 Are we living in a computer simulation?  


Are we just pure entertainment for a much smarter species?  

 Is our "god" the little green men of Roswell and we are just sitting in a very real GTA session.  


Or is the notion derived after a few too many Doritos and six beers to far?? 


Could we simply be a replay of a past existence that has previously gone wrong and are we just reliving our downfall or... 


Potentially a test for another species to understand the nature of relationship.   

Or are we a system in itself which needs to work together to realise it's true nature but fails to do so as we are conflicting in our own paths and in constant at conflict. Like two the body and a virus.  


Is the goal of the game to work together and to be in harmonious unity with our adventure to achieve a common goal. If so...what is this goal? 


Are we as individuals, simply a virus that have come to plague the world and each other. Trying to get the whole system back on track but failing to do so?  


Or are we a forgotten experiment that continues to linger on...and on...just to see what happens, locked away in some dark extraterrestrial cupboard maybe to be opened again at some later date. To be examined like a simple petri dish of organisms that can't work out what they their purpose is.  


As quoted by Scientific American "University of Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrum in 2003, suggested that there are members of an advanced civilization with enormous computing power might decide to run simulations of their ancestors." and.....we could be it.  


However, some dispute this idea and say it's practically a "zero chance" that this is possible. One thing is for certain our universe is written and works to laws.  


There are rules to how things work and how things must be. We live in a "solar system" after all and this is just the point of many who argue for the fact that we are simply a simulation.  


Our world is ruled and government by mathematics, just as this computer is that I type this post on, just as Steemit is.  
Are we the most advanced program created? Even then if we are created for the entertainment purposes of others or for testing purposes maybe we are just the beginning in a much larger eco system of creations. 

 
Maybe our purpose here is to discover one little fact and make one difference to the ecosystem on this planet, thus effecting the rest of the system that we make up.  


Maybe we are built to destroy........and maybe we are built to destroy each other. 


It's mind boggling to start to think like this. But, one thing is for sure.... a bag of doritos and a couple of beers are needed when you start to go down the garden path..

Nice article! I also use programmibg to explain life. It makes a lot of sense. And I thought about writting theories in here so maybe we could both learn a bit from eachother

crazy times in the future for sure :(

Great read!
