Do we live in a Simulation?

Discuss. Everything seems too odd for everything not to be a simulation. I’ve definitely seen the simulation glitch out numerous times. What do y’all think?
 
We're living in the matrix! Open your eyes people! Yur all a bunch of sheep! The corporations are controlling us!!! Wake up!
 
Well if some species is advanced enough to make a simulation, they’re gonna make a shit load of them, and it’s gonna increase exponentially. Maybe there are even simulations going on in simulations. So basically there’s a 120% chance that everyone is a robot except you and the earth is flat and going upwards at 9.8 m/s.

I'm definitely a sheep. Baaaaa.

I’ve considered that a simulation could be used to study humankind. Maybe the world did end in 2012 and somehow a different race was able to upload our DNA into a simulation or some shit. idk just been thinking about that stuff a lot
 
This is some good food for thought. I spent tons of time pondering our reality. It's usually is just a bunch of "what if" scenarios. I took a few psychology classes and figured this out more or less. I had fun in these classes and I would be willing to answer some pointed questions. In the end, this discussion won't lead anywhere, besides a deeper understanding of our reality. This is summed up in one question.

If you found out that you were living in a simulation and you are unable to change the simulation. Would this information change your life, or would you continue going about your business as usual?

if I knew 100% that I lived in a simulation then that could mean two things:

1. I have no soul, and I am just a computer program, therefore I would just give up on everything in the simulation and do a bunch of crazy shit that would probably lead to my death.

2. I do have a soul, but my mind is trapped in a simulation, and the only way out is to give up on everything and do a bunch of crazy shit until I die.

If this is a simulation then none of it really matters. So there wouldn’t be a point in working that 9-5 or continuing through college.

Okay you cheated. Bringing religion into the argument changes things drastically. Proving/disproving a soul or god is a completely different can of worms.

Yeah and thats the plan, do a bunch of crazy awesome shit until we die. If you don't have that 9-5 you can't do much besides live in a box and eat out of a dumpster.

When I say soul I meant like, we have a real body outside of the simulation, like maybe our consciousness was uploaded to a super computer. But that’s only if we aren’t just AI. And maybe being a crackhead is the only way to beat the simulation. Those guys have it right.

Alright, so we have a body outside of the simulation. Now I can stop talking and point you towards the movie The Matrix.

In this case you die in the simulation your body dies also. So why fuck around in the simulation and die early?

Because it isn’t real. Would you want to be in a relationship with someone if you knew they didn’t have any feelings for you?

Thats where you are wrong kiddo. Your body outside of the simulation is considered "real", but the simulation is your true reality. If there is no way to exit the simulation there there is no point in even considering outside of the simulation. If there is no way to exit the simulation then is seems that everything is pointless. It seems like you will never have an impact on the true reality. A little side note here: in our world only a few people make an everlasting impact on history. So I don't worry about that
 
I heard about a study that claimed to disprove this awhile ago.

The explanation boiled down to the fact that a computer that simulates just a few hundred particles would take more atoms to construct than are available in the universe.

Not sure how that makes sense if you consider the universe to be infinite, but it's the best point I've seen.

Surely that's based on the laws of physics in our current reality? How do we know that a different set of laws completely different to ours exist in the real world and the laws we have in our reality are set within the simulation. I haven't done physics since school so I may be completely wrong on this point.

And I don't understand why it would make a difference whether we're in a simulation or not. If you say it doesn't really matter if we're in a simulation then surely nothing matters if we aren't - both scenarios result in us dying and not existing. May as well make the most of this place whatever the reason for life is! So much cool stuff to see and do!

I tried crack once, it was actually pretty ok
 
Here's my theory on the matter. So you know that super collider in Switzerland? Well literally everyday there slamming particles together daily that simulate the big bang creating mini universes like our own. Who's to say there isn't a bigger universe out there and we were created in a super collider in a higher/greater power universe and we're just one of those universes that are created everyday in Switzerland sort of like mirror effect that's endless and just keep repeating itself forever like pi. Mind blowing shit my dudes
 
Consider the entire timeline of the universe - from big bang to when the last star finally runs out of hydrogen and burns out, casting eternal darkness across the infinite void.

Eventually, humanity or some other alien civilization will get technologically advanced enough that its possible to create a digital simulation of life completely indistinguishable from actual reality.

Each one of these digital simulations would be in essence its own universe. Its basically a numbers game - if I'm experiencing life in a universe that can eventually produce one of these simulations, theres simply a far greater chance that I'm experiencing one of the digitally created universes rather than the real.

Avatar wasn’t a simulation, I mean something more along the lines of the Matrix or something. We could either be real outside of the simulation or just straight up be characters in the simulation. Who knows!
