If it was confirmed we're living inside a Simulation, would you wanna exit?

[Sinan09400]

You will exit the simulation and for the first time in your life actually use your body, use your five senses, feel the real.... learn the truth. Learn about limits/ boundaries of the simulation that you thought never existed

But your family, your friends, where you live etc everything of your simulation life will be gone. Also your real physical appereance might even be different.

Would you embrace the reality or stay in the fake universe?

[SoutheastBeast1]

I’d want to know why I was dealt with such a sh-tty simulation experience first and foremost

[MuscleXtreme]

I don’t know, do we get a Neo who can move between both worlds? Do I get one of those cool exo-skeletons with the machine guns attached?

Theres no going back though

[GaryRidgway]

Sure, my simulation life has a very little to lose.

[Yoopwat]

If it was blind, as in I wouldn’t know any details of the world I’d be coming out into, then nah.

[TappingTheZen]

Depends what kind of simulation you're talking.

If you're talking matrix-esque simulation, fuk it ignorance is bliss right? If your simulation is happy and that is your entire existence, it's real enough. Better than living in a matrix-esque world where you're bent over by your robot overlords.

But in actual 'simulation theory', exiting wouldn't really be a thing that even makes sense to discuss. It's not like you're a human 'plugged into' the simulation, the core of simulation theory is that your entire consciousness exists only inside the simulation, it's not a human who has a body, who's plugged in and can be unplugged. The idea being theoretically in the future, if we know what all the correlates of consciousness are then we should be able to create artificial consciousness... obviously a hugely challenging task but possible, in principle.

[FoxMcCocks]

Nah I’m like level 99 in this simulation I’ll stay right here

[DigDeeper1]

Live in a miserable dystopian world or wake up.

Don’t see the difference

[Malakaibeats]

Nope. I'm loving my simulation.

There are lots of different approaches to ST my friend.

Some say (like you) we are all npcs with no real manifestation in reality, some claim we are jacked into it with our real bodies and some claim the both

Yeah i was talking actual 'Simulation Theory' as it was originally proposed by Nick Bostrom, and the likes of Max Tegmark. There's lots of ideas, but Bostrom's is what's usually referred to when talking about 'Simulation theory'.. if you google simulation theory the overwhelming majority of top results will be Bostrom's. This is by far the most logically consistent 'version' of simulation theory that i've seen, that makes reasonable sense given what we know about physics.

I never said we were NPC's, please don't misquote me lol. If consciousness, in principle is an emergent phenomena from physical matter, and can be created in silicon then there's no reason to consider that artificial consciousness in a simulation as any less 'real' than say, a human consciousness. If you subscribe to this idea, being in a simulation doesn't make you any more an 'NPC' than someone living in the 'real' or basement level reality.

But yes i understand there are different approaches, that's why i mentioned both options because you didn't specify an interpretation lol :S. But they are very different ideas because they are built on completely different axioms, with different futures for humanity, so both could have a very different answer to your question.

Either way i don't buy into simulation theory, but it's fun to think about

[maori-rap]

Too much of a gamble if you have zero idea what the REAL world is like.

Remember how Cipher hated the fact that he was 'freed' in the Matrix and made a deal with the Matrix itself, just to get immersed again with a new life? I feel that real life would WORSE than what I'm in now. Like living in a sewer, scavening for food, being hunted down by machines, no real future.

It would be naive to believe that the real world would be sunshine and roses and anything resembling a Utopian society.

[LifeChoices]

if an avatar/character dies inside the built simulation, aka: videogame..... it doesnt go anywhere else

[iloveus]

In The Animatrix, a kid learns that he's been inside The Matrix the whole time so suicides.

[Silencespeaks]

I was in a fake marriage and it was actually great. Fake paradise is much better than harsh reality.

[Sinan09400]

leave simulation to join another simulation. why bother

At least youll be a step closer to reality

[DrumsNotDead]

it's not a simulation like the matrix, it's a simulation like the game sims, we're not "plugged into it", we're just random iterations of people classes that have been created on a spun up server.

You wanted to play the game on hard mode?

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

I like video games.

Blue pill all day for me.
