"I thought it was obvious even though I was questioning it the whole time"

i don't believe we need to create simulations to know that we may be living in one

Totally.

No but it would show more evidence that we're in one.

Ffs you're still not getting it.

well it would show more evidence, but if there's no way to prove we are or are not in one anyway, what's the point?

There is none.

well there you have it that's why i was confused

because there is no point to this

i thought there might've been some actual real way to prove for sure we're in a simulation

but no

Then you're retarded.

Because I think therefore I am isnt a good argument

if anything I wouldn't be surprised we were programmed AI

this is all possible

Exactly

but just because we can create our AI and simulations doesnt actually mean more evidence

It is. It's not proof but its evidence.

And it certainly highers the chances of us being in a simulation.

statistically and theoretically speaking we have exactly the same chance of being in a simulation before we advanced in AI and after we advanced in AI, in reality from a theoretical standpoint, nothing has changed

Yes but you're not thinking of this materialistically enough

You're thinking of this out of pure experience.

There's a chance we're in a simulation or real universe where we cant have simulations but that's obviously not true since we have simulations.

i don't think it's possible to live in a universe where simulations cannot be created

So if our simulations go on and on and on and make simulations within themselves the more advanced we get the more of a chance we are in a simulation.

How?

If a different universe exists then it has different physics.

Different laws to that universe.

well a simulation is created from a computer and virtual programs

And if a virtual program didnt exist in our reality then there would be a less of a chance we'd be in a simulation

so if there are infinite realities then surely there is a reality where computers and by extension simulations cannot be created

i mean of course this is possible

however

I know that's also a possibility obviously

couldn't this also mean that there's a reality where simulations cannot be created, yet the reality itself is a simulation?

Yes but our reality can make simulations so it doesnt matter.

but couldn't there also be the possibility that we can create simulations, yet the reality itself is not a simulation?

Yes of course but its a lower chance if we make simulations #5

i mean there are infinite possibilities and statistically we are living in the 50% of realities that can sustain simulations

and even lower chance if that simulation makes a simulation

so then that leaves a 50% chance that we are actually living in a simulation
