Can You Exit The Simulation? 

If we living in a simulation then, I would like to apply a court petition to give me a better simulation. I don’t deserve this one

Imagine watching this in 300 years and being like “HOW DID THEY KNOW”

I mean it is a little scary the possibility of living in a simulation but at the same time, That does not change anything about how you lived your life before or how your living it now. All that changes is the context.

last night, i saw a dream. Pretty normal to be honest but it felt so extremely real at that point of time and when I woke up, I couldn't differentiate it from reality. I asked my sister about it and she said it never happened. If I wouldn't have asked her, I'd think it was completely real. Happened to anyone else?

This video was sick. Great quality, great script. Loved every minute of it besides the existential crisis

If we were actually in a simulation I find it funny how it puts out videos like this telling us exactly what it is to toy with us

You die at 70 years old. Just to wake up at 16 years old in your bed room to "hey son, it's time for school" ☠️

The simulation theory scares me so much. If everything is a simulation, there are no limits: the programmer of the simulation could easily add or subtract things from the universe. It could add radioactive creatures and take away the world's oxygen. The noises we hear when we are home alone at night could be caused by real creepy creatures (Not real, simulated. However, simulated things can be considered real by people living in a simulated world) that lurk in the dark waiting for you. If the programmer wanted to, I could actually see the demon in the shower that comes after you close your eyes: those demons and monsters that all the kids are afraid of could be real.

2 things that I think are important: 1) what is a human? “it feels so real” in this world, but everything we experience, from our limbs to our vision, etc is completely arbitrary. Who knows what form we might take “outside” of a simulation. 2) perhaps a reason to simulate our world is that once AI becomes so good that we no longer need humans or capitalism, or economies in general, what is fair and ethical? It may very well be that the only ethical way to preserve humans after the singularity is to give us simulated lives that can entertain us and give us an opportunity at a sense of fulfillment.

As a wise capybara i can confirm that we live in a simulation

i just imagine this man being one of the real people and giving us an existential crisis for fun

i love a casual existential crisis

My take on this is like, imagine living your whole life with different parents, different friends, and a whole different life.. how would waking up feel? You loved so many people, and to wake up to realizing it was all fake would be heart wrenching. With all the years that had passed, how would you feel about your original family? I assume itd feel like youve never met those people before in your life, and to meet random old people to hear that theyre your parents.. god. That sounds horrible. All of your experiences were fake. The people you loved were fake. It would feel so wrong. I dunno, what do you guys think?

This is crazy because when I was around 8 I always thought that I was living in a simulation but now I am 17 and I realised I am not the only one who thinks that it's a simulation

The problem with the perspective at 7:35, is that it is based off of our understanding of technology which understanding would be limited by the simulation rendering us. In order to fully grasp the possibilities in simulation theory we can’t base it at all off of what we know or understand as the possibilities could be limitless

Imagine you wake up in the middle of the night and someone’s takes off your headset and says, “are you ready to try it now?”

Michael from Vsauce once dismissed the simulation theory in an old video. His argument was that irrational numbers like Pi and the square root of 2 exist. These are numbers with infinite digits and therefore impossible to compute.

René Descartes’ last name is pronounced “Deck art” in English. Somebody had to say so, sorry. Thank you and your team for a thoughtful and thorough summary of Simulation Hypothesis.

One interesting thought i had about this is that scientists are confused by the big bang. How it seems our universe just came out of no where. We have really no idea how and no way to prove any ideas we do have. But an entire world just appearing out of no where that creates us, who are now thinking and reasoning about it? Seems an awful lot like someone someone clicking go live on a super advanced simulation. I mean the big bang is a lot like a computer powering up for the first time. Imagine you had a thinking and reasoning ai who was confined to a computer only allowed to interact with things that are already there with it, it doesnt have internet, or anything other than the world it is put in, It would be unaware of us, its creators existence, and from its perspective its universe would have appeared from no where, no proof or evidence on how it couldve came to be. All while it is living in a confined program being watched by us. Its kind of like how a 2d being couldnt interact with the 3rd dimension. This AI couldnt interact with our world and be able to know it exists. Would it be that far of a stretch to say that we are all living in a simulation that was once just clicked on by a creator? But assuming that wild idea is true could we escape? Well no, not without the help of the creator, like if we uploaded the ais conciousness to the internet then into a body, but in an offline isolated system it would be impossible to self transfer yourself out of the simulation. But who cares it feels real so who really cares😂

Please keep making long form content. Your videos are really good, educational, and to the point. I literally watched every long video.

I feel like we are gonna be the ones that make simulations just to test these theories

I got you now. FRUIT OF THE LOOM DID HAVE THAT THING IN THEIR LOGO. They lied and said they never did for marketing reasons.

Let's imagine for a moment that when you mentioned the 3 following were correct: 1. Mandela effect 2. Glitch 3. Rendering If, IF. IF! We in fact focus many telescopes into outer space at once and mapped huuuuuuge regions of space all at once, our "simulation" would GLITCH. Causing none other than the infamous Mandela effect. If enough of our conceivable universe is unable to render, would we not experience this effect? I dunno... I'm pretty dumb to be honest. Your videos are pretty awesome though man 😁

Please don’t stop making these type of videos and can you make one about black holes and wormholes

Yeah the simulation is so big there are 8 billion+ players playing right now

I was going to the bus on the way home after school and my eyes zoomed out and I swear I was looking at a screen and it lasted for a second, I mean maybe there’s a scientific explanation but idk. Multiple times my perspective just zooms out and my conscious goes into full force asking who am I, why am I here, what happened before me and what happens after I die. Maybe we are in a simulation, damn this whole video made me overthink more

Actually about the mandela effect, most of them were created before 2012 like "Jif" peanut butter was made in 1958 or like Fruit of the Loom was made in 1851! If you search up "World ending in 2012" on youtube there will be lots of videos giving evidence that the world ended in 2012. Maybe when the world "ended" the simulation restarted like you would a computer. Then, the simulation might have forgotten to add things to the simulation like Curious George's tail, Monopoly man's monocle, and Fruit of the Loom's cornucopia. This is probably what causes lots of mandela effects on our world. I hope this information helped in any way! Stay educated! (Also your vids are amazing! and very funny at times! these are very informative videos and I love them! I loved the editing and script! And the weirdest one for me too is the fruit of the loom!)

Bro the new update is WILD can't wait to play the solar system dlc

Sounds like we are in the greatest escape room ever made.

I have this memory of my dad fixing my silver cheap chain when I was like 8 with glue and I still have the chain today but there is no glue on it. I can BARELY remember the memory which gets me wondering was that memory just a dream? I got confused then realized you can’t fix a chain with glue, so what the hell was that memory?

The last two bit things scares me a lot bc if i had a choice i would probably choose a simulation that makes me a regular person in the past where i went through the hardest stuff ever to prepare myself for whats really out there, weather its better or worse than what im experiencing now its still gonna prepare me for good.

I really wanna talk about this more: -My problem with the AI theory is that it implies that there was an actual point in time just like this, where people had the same existential questions and thought that they also lived in a simulation, though they were the reality. I think this might have been what you were getting at with the Russian nesting dolls, and it definitely throws a wrench it the whole thing. -There's too many plot holes in every religion out there, including atheism, for us to truly know what's beyond this. Idk about yall, but it feels like we're meant to know, like something really bad will happen if we do. Maybe this is part of the "Great Filter" thing? Something about it all just seems like we're missing a large and very vital piece of the puzzle that is the universe, and if this was unlocked everything would go to shit. I'm praying that we'll know when we pass on, and that whatever is beyond this will make some sense. -Also, personally, I really think that there are some people who aren't real. They act normal, but I swear if you routinely talk to them for longer than a week things just don't make sense. It's like they only have a superficial personality and a complete inability to think critically or deeply about the world. Like they're actions mimic that of an actor in a sitcom rather than a real person, like they don't exist as their own entity. Idk maybe I'm just crazy but I've met at least 7 people (that I can count) who are like this. -the "Great Filter" is probably the scariest yet most understandable point I've heard thus far. There's no reason that we haven't been contacted by, or at least had evidence of, extraterrestrial life. Even plants or bactiria. I refuse to believe that earth is the only planet to ever form life. The math just ain't mathing, it's all much too convinient. Somethings stopping us. -on a side note, what even is life?? What separates us from a computer? Both use energy to perform tasks and are made of physical materials. If we're all just meat sacks, than how come AI isn't given rights as a metallic meat sack?

Well, heres something to think about. Any given computer has a limited amount of processing power, so if you were to go down the line of simulations you would be left with less and less processing power to create a realistic world which means that its unlikely that there are infinite amount of layers of simulations. Think sort of like that one rick and morty episode with all the fake families. You go down the line enough and eventually you have a product that is so obviously different from the original that you would be able to tell instantly that its a fake

Imagine if you were supposed to remember everything when you spawned in this simulation but because of some bug you have forgotten everything about your real life.

Great job. You taught that extremely well. I was aware but you woke me up even more to the possibility. It’s weird because it kind of connected to dots in my mind. I had a moment when I was a little kid where I felt like I had a memory of the few moments before I came to this world and it felt like my mom and my wife were there telling me it’s going to be ok and we will see each other again. When I met my wife we both thought we knew each other already from somewhere

One theory I think about a lot is that you yourself are immortal. That each time you “die” you create an alternate reality where you keep living, even if to everyone else it seems like you’re dead. From your point of view you don’t know this is happening, you just know you keep recovering from horrible injuries and everyone else around you also has no clue. This is hard to explain but I hope it isn’t true.

6:28 The Mandela Effect usually has a logical explanation, such as Mr. Monopoly wearing a monocle because it complements his old-fashioned sartorial style. It's not insane to think that.

The only reason I believe we are in a simulation is because I love playing games on hard. So my player most probably chose the highest difficulty.

love these kind of videos man, gets me thinking

The effort put into producing this video is awesome. Loved it, bro

I’m going to find a way out of this simulation. I only hope that I can wake up in a better world where I’m not being poisoned daily.

Man oh man it's one of the best video that I have watched in awhile

If this is a video game, then I am definitely an npc.

My problem with the simulation theory and solipsism is there is no reason for a controlling entity to allow access to videos like this. Makes more sense that I am the creator of everything and this video is essentially a tool I designed to process subconscious thoughts

He pronounced Descartes as what???

Just found you ❤ Lovin your stuff here in Las Vegas

The idea that we are living in a simulation came way before the 17th century. Read Plato’s work “The Republic” and specifically the chapter “The Cave”. And this was way back in Ancient Greece.

brilliant vid man! I always pushed for you to have a youtube account, or at least an active one and I'm happy you do upload! this vid talked about concepts I already heard of and learned of but it was fun to watch nonetheless. tho I still find it difficult to understand the concept of the theory that I might be the only one that exists. like I see all of you and you..see me too so I have a hard time getting this 😅

Please make a video on dreams. Cause they feel so real. Like simulation.

the "wake up" at the end gave me heart atack for a sec lmao

YOU GOT NY SUB WITH THIS.. FINALLY SOMEONE PUT ALL MY THEORIES INTO CONTEXT AND A SANE EXPLANATION 👏 😂❤

Great quality, keep it up. Also, I liked the final message. It's scary to think we live in a simulation, but let's enjoy it while we are here...

Am I the only one that gets this feeling, this feeling of being able to do anything whenever I want. It’s hard to explain, and no, I do not mean about being completely omnipresent, omnipotent, or omniscient. It is simply this feeling that I get once I step back and look at the bigger picture. Like, I feel I could defeat someone in a fight, even though I know I am weak. This isn’t arrogance or delusion, I just feel like I could do anything if I really put my mind into it. Like I said. It is hard to explain without coming off as stupid or crazy.

5:55 its like putting a red ball into a container with 99 white balls and saying odds are 50% cuz you either pick it or you dont. While its also 1% cuz there is 1% out of 100 total balls you pick the red once. So probability isnt always something you can or should apply to something.

But,if we are in a simulation,then would we really be able to think of the fact that we are in a simulation? That would mean we have achieved sentience as i'm sure the designer does not desire

I mean, crazy thought; in response to the fermi paradox bit, we COULD actually be a race of extraterrestrial anthropologists that are using records from a long extinct human species to expereince their history...

I play video games to escape the reality I'm living in. If I escaped to THIS to get away from my problems, my actual reality must be an awful place. Following that logic, I'd like to wake up to reality for a minute to see what it's like there. Then come back if I hate it lol

7:50 that explains why you can't see anything over the horizon

Can I have admin so I can spawn 10 sheep in a random guys house

This brought me back to the infamous CIA experiment The Gateway Process Could you also cover this topic, it seems underrated

was really hoping you would get into the double slit experiment! great video tho

bro this is such a w, when I die I can just do this shit again but maybe not be mentally defficient this time

your videos are so interesting! I can’t stop watching

I’m pretty sure there’s a civilisation level on the Kardashev Scale that can create civilisations at will. What if we are one of the civilisations created by a higher up civilisation?

if I wouldn't have checked your RU-vid channel, I wouldn't have known if this video existed. Great job on simplyfling it and making it this short!!

I found this video from shorts and didn't see the thumbnail so imagine how I felt when I accidentally exited out of the app and then quickly went back in and just saw the thumbnail and a paused button, I spent five minutes looking for the "Wake up" image and remembered to check the thumbnail

You butchered descartes name

You are the reason i became aware of several things. You always have latest knowledge on everything. Feel like i am ahead cause of watching ur videos.

You hella got me with that jumpscare at the end, good job 😅 love this channel, one of my new favorites! I'll be here all the way, bro

I read somewhere that a football player had a hell of a near death experience while playing, idk if he got sacked or what but I think he was knocked out and the moment he was knocked out, he had the near death experience to where he slipped into a real life type of dream that lasted 80 or so years, had a family and so on, but then woke up finally after realizing something was odd about one his lamps in this experience, then boom, wakes up from it lying on the ground in the middle of his football game.

I have this memory or a dream or something that i got to pick what i looked like and what not and then i was strapped in face down and seen a bright white light. Seems so real still i could never forget

bro my WiFi is acting up while I’m watching this I stopped watching it for a bit and it started working again dude

The theory 1:50 The potential proof 6:09 The reason 12:22 Still doesn't add up though...the ethical implications of such detailed stimulations would a big deal in a highly advanced civilization. There would be no need to simulate pain and suffering to such a realistic degree. And if such a computer/ai existed that could run these immense highly real simulations, it would likely be the one in charge and then may as well be God.

You will remember all that was and will be, as you wake up remembering exactly what you came here for. So, you wouldn't even bother to worry, because you now know and remember everything. Just like the part that was locked so that we don't have to remember or know the real "thing" we are. That's what gets unlocked, I guess.

Me watching this and then all the sudden everything goes dark and I “wake up”

I’d say that it’s probably not likely… Why would we make it so that we would experience this entire lifetime that just… means nothing? After you finish the “simulation” theirs no way you can regain your memories before that, and you wouldn’t know anyone in the real world, it would basically being just… sadness, because you would only know your “simulation” memories and you would struggle to reintegrate into society and quite possibly never be able to live a normal life in that “society”, so it would just be a lose lose situation.

Bro is criminally underrated.

When you were talking about glitches i remember that i had glitch in life and this glitch was that i was looking at wall and when i looked to my left there was a light from nothing for a 0.5 second

This changes the whole way I perceive the universe

After I saw this video..I always think..what if someone tries to actually waking me up from this virtual but allot of them been sacrifies (like being killed by guards or failed to wake me up?..cause I saw many problems in our world..like why parents teachers and friends tend to give suggestions to work as a engineer..doctor or teacher or even something we don't enjoy...what if the thing that we wanted to actually do with good intentions it's a no for them or won't even recommend ..why does my childhood is better but now as teenager and this moment it's sucks??like a virus spreading to people and got infected

Me: one last video before I go to sleep The video:

We’re living in the matrix simple. We are connected to these machines asleep. Thinking we are actually alive

This was really well done

All of this is assuming that one scenario but it is unknowable how likely it is. This scenario is often chosen because it’s the only one we can reason about because it assumes that the outside reality is similar to ours. We cannot know how likely that is because we have no information about the outside reality because information the way we know it only exists in our reality.

I'm all for finding out if we're in a simulation, but what if it's for our own good? What if we're being protected, not imprisoned?

What does it even matter ? Simulation , spinning globe , flat earth , virtual reality ? Whatever we are in life still sucks

Well, there was "Plato's Cave" which discussed this idea about 2 thousand years before Descartes... (But that's just me, nitpicking. 🤔)

imagine if we all are just some 13 yo olds project 💀

I remember feeling like i was in a simulation since i was 3 and i would have had the best memory of a possible past life then compared to now

5:08 kinda like that microverse Rick and Morty ep

Heh, I was expecting South Park to come up in this video. There really was a very good episode where the kids all go into virtual reality and fail to accept that they are there.

This entire video is basically saying "we don't know but this could be the case"

Great job brother. I enjoyed everything you've done. Totally compelling. 😎

Imagination is a simulation, and some people's run wild

Off topic but this dudes apartment is such a vibe!

if i am in a simulation then i really have to find a way to explain my browser history when i get out....

but what if the idea is that you’re able to think and inquire about your existence. If someone had the power to create this simulation they certainly knew what they were doing with consciousness.

We are like really complex vr machines. VR companies try to emulate our senses and reality by producing new technology to include pain sensors and eye tracker for example, but we have all that built in. We have nerves to feel pain, we can see, hear, smell, etc. We may be npcs

My way of thinking is that the simulation could be some sort of escape pod from the base reality, because something went horribly wrong. Idk
