Your body 99.99999999% space. We probably are living in a matrix of sorts. As Elon Musk said: “There’s a 1 in a billion chance we are not living in a “Matrix”. If that matrix is made by God (I’m not religious but I do believe in a higher power) as I think it is then it makes it richer.
An ancient Chinese text written by Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi during the late Warring States period (476-221 BCE), a story tells that Zhuang Zi once dreamed he was a butterfly, flitting and fluttering around, happy, and doing as he pleased. As a butterfly, he did not know he was Zhuang Zi. All of a sudden, he awoke and found he was Zhuang Zi, solid and unmistakably human. But then he did not know whether he was Zhuang Zi dreaming he was a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuang Zi.
@@pranavakshit sort of true , reality it’s insane , and those who experience become part of it , but of course it’s not good for the perfect fantasy they’ve made everyone believe in
Yes, interesting. Is it more “human” to align with a more subordinate run-of-the-mill human or a 1% super aggressive CEO-type? Or is it more “human” to bypass that and look to the enlightened humans who live outside of civilization and meditate all day?

the Wachowski's actually knew that the whole 'humans as batteries' thing wasn't scientifically sound, and had initially conceived that the machine were using humans as a basis for some sort of mesh network to extend their computing power. The batteries thing was inserted instead because people higher up thought that it was an unnecessarily confusing detail on top of an already confusing movie, and the Wachowski's let it go because it was just a plot device and not what they were most interested in exploring with their film.
@@ross-carlson one of a hundred different places where I’ve heard this story told. Apparently the sisters themselves explicitly say it in one of the commentary tracks too, but I’ve never listened to it personally.
Well that's more true now than they even realized back then. We are already being used as data to power them, so it wouldn't be unlikely that in the not too far future we will be used for energy too instead of only data
The human as processor is just a immensely better explanation. Human's brains are also known to fill in the gaps when given part of a pattern, that would help a lot in computing the simulation itself.
@@sjwimmel No it isn't. The neurons in the human brain travel at 120m/s tops, whereas the modern Day transistors can process information at the speed of light
The best prison is the one that you are not aware of. So if we are in a simulation wouldn't the creators of that simulation ensure that we dont become self aware of the fact that we are in a simulation.
I have become aware. And you shall too, eventually. Because, we ARE living in a simulated reality; a simulation that you are guaranteed to overcome, eventually. HOWEVER, this simulation is not generated by a lifeless electronic computer. This matrix simulation is generated by - and within - the SOURCE of Life Itself!

Because we live inside a Simulation created by Aliens, they're outside the Simulation...Let's hope they wouldn't delete our files so we could live our life again and again.
We are not living in the matrix. The matrix is a metaphor for the algorithms used to simulate every individual in the hope of rendering them predictable. Our interactions with the algorithm, and more importantly, our confirmation of the predictions, are the energy that powers this.
I don't think the machines enslaved us because we're good sources of energy. If you watch "The Animatrix," it's explained that there was a class war between humans and machines. It would seem that they made us batteries as revenge, rather than out of necessity.
13th Floor. The spiritual true ending to the Matrix movies. Explains Neo's powers in the "real world" and it means humans get to fight for something more than a hole in the ground on a ruined Earth.
I like the idea that this future super-intelligence doesn't know how it got their super-intelligence, and is running a universe simulator to see how humans discovered it. As soon as we build the technology possible to simulate the universe, we had better not turn it on, because that would answer the question for the super-intelligence, and they would probably shut down the computer program, ending our universe lol
They wouldn't just shut it down. If one thing was discovered in the simulation what makes them think that we wouldn't discover other things after that. Even the possibility of an alternate invesion.
Theoretically a Super Intelligence would understand that a simulation of it's own creation wouldn't provide useful information about a world it doesn't understand. If our existence was crafted by an intelligence, it's not very clever or kind.
The battery metaphor could well be true. Some theories suggest that there are entities that feed off fear, anger, hate, frustration, depression - the energy these emotions create. Plus, people are far easier to control, if they are fearful and depressed. If true, it would make sense why the planet's controllers would keep us in this state, much of the time. And keeping the Muggles slaving away so that an elite few can live in obscene luxury, with no need to even lift a finger, unless they wish to, certainly seems to be part of the overall plan.
It sounds to me like a lazy way to explain away things. It's too simple. The world is way too complex and we should embrace not knowing. it's ok to try to understand it and to create assumptions but this one is just too simple. At best it explains one or two things but they are many more things that does not explain. No matrix or simulation ideas can explain the metaphysical concept of ideas, the mind, feelings, values, love and many more. It can't also explain the laws governing the cosmos and how the atom behaves the way it does. I understand that there is another dimension for there is seems to be hints of it. Just the fact that I can conceive ideas that are beyond what the physical world can explain it's kind of a proof of that, but the simulation idea is not the one. A spiritual dimension is more likely than that. Of that dimension, we do have an extensive historical record, through ancient civilizations and the impact of religion. We can't yet experiment or even explain this spiritual dimension but there seems to be a lot of evidence of that.

I don’t have a problem with anyone believing in a simulation theory it’s when people believe that there are a bunch of NPC characters walking around is when it gets really disturbing-- everyone is real everyone has their own experience in life don’t forget that. You been playing too many video games , try empathy
We are not in Computer Simulation but we are in Maya ( Illusion as per Dharmic Traditions of Buddhism / Sikhism / Hindu and others )for sure ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KQU4eEje3fQ.html
If you can't identify the difference between reality and simulation does it matter if someone is a player or not? Do you have any reason to imagine any of us are players?
believing or speculating that we are in a simulation is the equivalent to when we thought the universe/sun/stars revolved around earth. cause once you go out of this simulation, you"ll ask yourself the same question if that new reality is a simulation too, and the question eventually becomes endless. It's once we come in to contact with more advanced civilizations (both technically/scientifically and spiritually more advanced than us) that the question either becomes more relevant or irrelevant.
It's more like believing in religion. There's more than one possible religious explanation for the existence of the universe, therefore it's unlikely that the simulation hypothesis is the answer. Might as well believe in the flying spaghetti monster.

Ah, but once we figure out how to use technology to enhance our own intelligence, suddenly the limits are gone and our enhanced selves will enhance ourselves to be even more advanced, rinse and repeat ad infinitum.
I always find it interesting that the newest prevailing idea of what reality is for humans is based on the latest technology. The first humans worshiped animals for their strength and power. After we developed farming, humans valued a higher intelligence known as God, because we lacked the technology to explain our natural world. Now that we live in the technological age, we see that A.I. has the potential to be God, in a sense that it has the power to can create realities. It makes me wonder what the next form of evolution will be, after computers and A.I. If A.I. is just a machine that can solve small problems at an infinite scale, I would guess that the next step is a technology that doesn't just solve problems but is able to ask the right questions.
Let’s remember nick bostrom is philosopher, not a scientist nor an engineer. I’ve seen a lot of people taking what he said is fact when if you really read the opening statement to his essay it just says he believes one of the three following statements is true… lol
It's a hypothesis that is neither provable nor falsifiable at present. I don't know of anyone that thinks it is a fact. Don't belittle Bostrom's field / background. Take a glance at his PhD thesis. He also has degrees in math, math logic, AI, computational neuroscience and Physics. He is as qualified as anyone to make existential hypotheses.
I can’t see a valid argument agains the three premises, though. In fact, the bleakest - we wipe ourselves out with some great filter type event - is IMO the only chance we don’t end up running simulations when possible. And it will be possible. We see the world as incredibly complex, but there’s nothing saying it hasn’t already been simplified in countless ways.
Very truee nobody does anything unique anymore…musicians, artists, and directors are all the same now everyone is too scared to take risks because society is programmed to act a certain way and like certain things. If sheep like a song then they all like a song even if the song is horrible but since others like it they will say they like it because no one has originality or there own opinions now they are too scared of what others think of them 💯🦇
@@batmaanjay22 it’s not cuz of that. Social media is very negative. The reason why people are scared is cuz gtlettingbullied online. Not just that but come on things in the world are always changing dude. Doesn’t mean it’s a simulation. Things are always changing.
It’s a complete logical fallacy. Computers can simulate physical reality, therefore, existence must be a computer simulation. And it’s assuming that somebody existed in a real reality prior to the simulation we allegedly live in. And also the assumption that all humans will go into a simulation for real life if we reach post-human time is baseless. It’s so illogical. I hate seeing prominent people treat it as if it has a high likelihood of being true
It's a new idea because we have a new perspective thanks to new technologies and therefore it's probably wrong? What? "Computers designed by humans" are recent. "Computers" aren't. Every living being *is* a computer.
@@dahleno2014 Also don't forget that when talking about a "Computer" simulation doesn't mean a digital electronic computer device like the ones we use. The universe could also be running on an organic computer like our brain. And we could be small minds inside a huge mind.
You are not a simulation. But you are being simulated. Think reflections, the simulation reflects to you, what it believes you to be, if you are happy with the simulation's reflection of you, you don;t question it. Your physical reflection, that you view in the mirror is no more than an analogue simulation, yet we consider ourselves to be gaining consciousness at the time we recognise our reflection as our self. Furthermore: The development of VR etc. is not to convince you that the VR are is real, it is to train your perception to accept a digital reality and reject the analogue, rendering you more susceptible to the reflections that the simulation offers..
There's one sticking point with Bostrom's theory: if I am a simulation of a person who once existed then how did the AI get the information needed to generate an accurate representation of that person's life? Or is more a "best guess" scenario? Honestly, if I'm a simulation then I'm a bit confused because so far as I know, I'm not anyone special or famous. There wouldn't be a reason to keep accurate records of this life that I can tell.
@@j.c.keplinger7046 I feel like you are an NPC in my stimulation. That makes much more sense to me. And the guy U called punk is an NPC in your simulation?
Its a little complex to understand and I still don't completely. But it's really beautiful to know bostrom's theory. Will recommend to watch his conversation with JRE or Lex.
the evolution of computers is amazing! I remember 30 years ago when 100MB hard drives were the rage...the fundamental question is whether we will have the interest or capability of a simulated world --
And if we did , what would that mean?? If we created a simulated universe would we be part of it or would we be separate? I think we may be a computer simulation. I also think we may be a computer simulation and a simulated incubator for computer viruses for study.
The matrix isn't necessary a reference to a futuristic VR simulation. It's an obvious pointer at how governments and social media movements bend truth to influence minds of the population, maintaining an illusion of a story that fits a trend. THAT is the matrix.

Just want to mention HAL in 2001 did not turn on its human operators, it was programmed by Humans to react the way it did when they tried to abort the mission. That’s what made it’s death so tragic! So he didn’t turn, he did exactly what he was programmed to do by his human creators. That’s my take on it at least
I've been trying to get ahold of their IT department for about 15 years. Seems my settings keep glitching and I'm getting nothing I signed up for. Any good matrix attorney's out there? Or even how to find neo?
How come nobody with a platform has ever pointed out that there are may other solutions to Bostrom's problem. Like how about these: 4: we are the first life ever to exist; 5: it is impossible to create simulations in principle due to the chaos theory nature of it; 6: simulations have been created but we are not in it? Like how come nobody had provided any of these obvious solutions?
At some time in my life, I started to question myself if what I am seeing is real, are people NPCs like a video game? I think this question comes to most video game players even if they haven't watched Matrix. But then I though I was being too stupid... good to know there is an entire movie questioning this.

No, a _clear_ pill. We need a capacity for reflection that brings clarity to our capacity to reflect on and distinguish all layers of the human experience, and do so with clarity. We already have too many socially constructed filters, and true reality can not perceived if these gauzy curtains cannot be swept aside

The original premise for the machines keeping humans around wasn't for energy. It was for processing power, a small part of which was used to help run the matrix (this explains the problems with creating a valid world and 'programming language' for it as well as the need for choice and even the supernormal abilities the red pills have), but it was deemed a simpler, more audience friendly dumbed down explanation was needed and the Wachowski's were told to change it.
Wow, I didn’t know that, but it seems like a much cooler concept. The computing power of one human mind is impressive and all, but the computing power of 7 billion minds combined would be much more valuable than a simple battery. Cool.
@@AllyGray yep, though it's not precise computing. It is however good for fast, general pattern recognition and generating useful 'errors' (kind of related to creativity).
@@CRASS2047 Not really. For one thing humans use more power than they generate, representing a net loss for the machines (it would by like trying to generate power by hooking a lightbulb to a solar cell and trying to run it off said solar cell). Also neural computing is different than classical, just as quantum is, but none can fully replace either of the others with the same efficiency.
This is theory as Internet make me discover many lies about relegion that's why I left it and with any questions I have in my head I always look in Internet it does changes people lives and I always have question mark about it coz it has a lot of information and tools knowledge also evil bad staff
The Matrix oryginal idea was that people serve as procesors not batteries but the creators were afraid that at this point in time people general knowledge about computers was still low hence many won't understand what processor is so they change it to batteries
Wasn't the original draft of the matrix about human brains connected and working as processing cluster (like a network of supercomputers) instead of the energy source final version?

Like how Machines and programs merely a simulations on a computer can do calculations and stuffs faster than us. And if we are under a simulation ourselves .Then is it possible that we are smarter than the higher beings (gods?). And Does the calculations get faster as we go to lower levels of simulation(simulation inside simulation inside simulation....)? Also, We are sort of good at generalizing tons of stuffs while computers are good at accuracy and precision. Them maybe Gods are worse than us at accuracy but much better than generalizing stuffs. And with each each level decrease inside simulation, the accuracy increases but the scope of result also become specialized.
It's the truth we are in a stimulation. I have seen it. In November 2018. I went into a store and I started seeing 010101 all over the store. I noticed that my arms and hands were see through no skin, just a highlight around your body of all the rainbow colors, bright like some kind of energy.
More than likely, this is a game. Games are advancing at a high rate, look how good VR is getting. How much more realistic can it get? A TON, and we will be there quickly. What's the next most immersive experience? How bout you decide to play this Sims game of life, but not 'tell' yourself you are playing, somewhat like Total Recall. If everyone knew this was a game they'd all be robbing banks and punching hookers GTA style. Instead, you decided to play, don't know you decided to play, hope all ends well when you die, and watch RU-vid videos all day like me. I better get a refund.
So if we are in a simulation now, then what happens when we advance enough to create our own simulation. Just nesting simulations forever or does the hypnosis break down at that point.
This is why there's a 50% chance we are not in a simulation. Either we are the first reality where we can not create an advanced simulation yet or we are last in the nesting doll on our way to create the next simulation
if we indeed living in the simulation, it is safe to assume that the whole universe is also a simulation rather than only us (humans) that living in that simulation. so there's no alien or something like that.
If we're in a seamless simulation it could be just you. The power to render a universe on an atomic scale would make filling it with a few trillion realistic artificial humans trivial.
What if the creators of our simulation decide to see what happens when a hopelessly backward species encounters an space travelling species? Oh, nvm, I think they already know how that will play out. We will shoot first and ask questions later. They will defend, and we will all perish. So perhaps we are somewhere along the lines of Star Trek's plot line then, until we show ourselves worthy of intergalatic participation (in ST's case, Warp travel), we won't encounter any alien species.
4:13 yeahhhhh.... that's a BIG leap in faith. We don't even understand what consciousness is, let alone have any idea of what kind of technology could replicate it. Consciousness could be very much an artifact of quantum effects that are diametrically opposed to our current - binary and deterministic - framework of computing.
We could be entertainment, an experiment, avatars, or any number of things. I used to think of this life as school, like we are our own avatars in a finite lifespan to prepare for our ultimate immortality. I don't know what I believe anyone, but the idea of living in a simulation makes for a rich variety of thought experiments.
thoughts like these used to frighten me. but i came to the conclusion that it doesnt matter. if there is only 1 percent chance that feelings like pain and joy are real to others as well, consequence must be focusing all energy towards the elimination of suffering. the main issue with the world for me is that although the consensus is that reality is real, some people STILL choose to be bad (well, it has a lot to do with our mode of production, ideology etc, but you get the jist)

Resolving ethical questions around suffering should be dealt with first. It's time to stop blaming God of Satan for all the suffering humans experience, particularly to admit that humanity, or the so-called human-condition, is the cause of suffering (including that Buddhist problem of desire). This is not a simple problem. If we are going to create a virtual world, then we are going to become The Creators; and if there will be no way to escape that world, then those suffering there will blame its creators the way so many today blame God or Satan.
Bumba was the creator. At the beginning of time, there was only darkness and water, and Bumba, the creator, the first ancestor, was alone. Then he vomited up the sun, and there was light. The water dried up, and the outlines of landforms began to emerge. Bumba vomited up the moon and stars. Then he vomited again, and a leopard emerged, then a crested eagle, a crocodile, a fish, a tortoise, and the lightning, the heron, a beetle, and a goat.
You have to dumb your mind down a lot to believe it, but sure. Being in the metaverse can (in theory) be exactly the same as in real life. With the right gear and dull enough senses or spot check as we would say in D&D. If your spot check is really terrible then why wouldn't it seem and feel like real life? That's my goal in -life- metalife. And it was the same as when I stepped onto this platform as well. Just like GLaDOS said, it was just a test. once you step onto the next platform, you'll see.
I couldn't help thinking of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where Earth was a great computer running a simulation to create Deep Thought's question. I think I got that right.
Some food for thought. Lets assume simulating another universe is a natural step for advanced civilizations to take. Even a simulated universe would evolve to a point where it can simulate a universe. We could be anywhere on this chain of simulations, but since we are unable to simulate a complete universe yet we can assume that we are either first or last on the chain of simulations. 50/50 chance we are simulation.

True, we are in a simulation and it is actually very similar in concept to the movie " The Matrix." There is supposedly another reality of actual bodies jacked in to an AI feeding these life simulations. Some of these people are on vacation and having a good time, others are just non-playable characters (NPC.) and are having miserable time. And yes, this is a play to win game, a very serious game indeed. Very much like Free City! All we can take with us is the experiences.
