Do you often wonder about the following?:

 

When commenting on the forum, do you ever ponder upon the possibility that the profiles you see on the forum, and interact with,…may not be…

 

REAL People?

 

Do you sometimes begin to believe that the forum is nothing more than a computer game, a simulation, and that you are spending hours and hours communicating with…Nobody?

 

For example…

Do you even see a ZOOM button on the forum?
 

Sure, there is a ChatGPT button, but is there a ZOOM button, a button so that you can immediately see the guy whose post you are replying to?

 

I don’t mean that the lack of a Zoom-Meet button on TV is proof that this forum is a simulation. And, it is possible that the simulation has not yet begun.  But, what if it already has begun?

 

How do I know that you are not a simulation?

 

Where IS everybody, anyway?

 

 

In fact, Elon believes that there is less than a One-Billionth chance that we are NOT in a simulation, and that our profiles are, in fact, not real people.

 

To me, this is a very scary thought.

 

What about you?  How does anybody know you are real?

 

Would you be willing to go on a group ZOOM MEETING to prove that you are not a simulation?

 

When?

 

Who will coordinate this?

 

Or, is this a moot point, for the obvious reason…

 

 

So much to think about.

So little time in which to think.

Will we ever have enough time?

 

Please Note:  Elon tells us that he often ponders this question while in a hot tub.  But this does not mean that we must be together with Musk, in Elon's tub, before we, too, can consider this question.

 

 

 

 

 

The real pressing issue is "how high is up?"

We are not the first to ponder this question, of course, as I know you know.

 

 

If Tyson takes this question seriously, then why shouldn't we?

you communicate with yourself daily so.......yes i believe you are correct.

 

 

I, for one, was never real.

I was only ever simulated.

Maybe that guy who claimed to work as an overnight security guard too probably.

If anyone is interested in a Mass ZOOM Meeting Meet-up, to prove some of us are Real, then I nominate you, for sure.

 

You can be the one to HOST and Coordinate the Zoom Meet-up.

 

Are you up for it?

IMHO, if we are, indeed, in a simulation, and if all we know is part of the simulation,

And if this simulation is being run on a very fast computer somewhere,

Then, it makes most sense to me if this computer is owned and operated by a teenager.

 

Such a simulation also answers the question of why life is so unfair.

Obviously, God exists with us in the simulation.

And, it is the teenager who created our simulated God.

 

But there are two schools of thought concerning the Simulation Hypothesis.

Have patience, and I will cover both schools in future comments.

obviously. 

Explored LSD acid, and had too much, was my first thought.

 

Then I remember this Confession from OP in the Chiang Mai Meet Up thread quote:

One Of My Many Substandard, Off-Topics, Topics.

 

Moderators?

I was merely using a very common literary technique to anticipate, and also mock in a humorous way, what my detractors often repetitiously say about my great writing style, and in their never-endingly boring and uninformed ways.

 

I would like to emphasize the two adjectives boring and uninformed so that all reading this cannot mistake the fact that I am referring to your literary criticism of my work.

 

Not only this, but I think you may not know the first thing about inoculation theory as it applies to communications and social psychology. Therefore, please first "study up" on this, and then get back to me when you are ready.  We can discuss your questions, and problems, at a suitable time when you are better informed.

Unfortunately, all I can say for myself is that I did not spend my callow youth half-stoned out of my gourd.

Just be aware,if this teenager decides to pull the plug because of your

drivel you are responsible for destroying all of us!

Do you believe in Free Will of Teenagers?

Or that teenagers have free will?

 

Better listen to Nick, in this case...

Why tack on acid to the abbreviation, LSD?

LSD = lysergic acid diethylamide

 

That's sort of like saying, "This evening, I will be staying in a motel hotel."

Yes.

I agree.

You and I are sane.

It is the OTHER Half that are nuts.

If it would be a simulation what would it be good for ?

If you do not know if you are real , just smack your head against the wall , if you feel pain , you are probably real ...

In answer to your query...No.

 

And although Musk is quite brilliant, don't much care about his personal opinions or beliefs. He is a wee bit out there, to say the least. ????
