https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis
The simulation hypothesis or simulation theory is the proposal that all of reality, including the Earth and the rest of the universe, could in fact be an artificial simulation, such as a computer simulation. Some versions rely on the development of a simulated reality, a proposed technology that would be able to convince its inhabitants that the simulation was "real". The simulation hypothesis bears a close resemblance to various other skeptical scenarios from throughout the history of philosophy. The hypothesis was popularized in its current form by Nick Bostrom. The suggestion that such a hypothesis is compatible with all of our perceptual experiences is thought to have significant epistemological consequences in the form of philosophical skepticism. Versions of the hypothesis have also been featured in science fiction, appearing as a central plot device in many stories and films. The hypothesis popularized by Bostrom is very disputed, with, for example, theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder calling it pseudoscience[1] and cosmologist George F. R. Ellis stating that ″[the hypothesis] is totally impracticable from a technical viewpoint″ and that ″protagonists seem to have confused science fiction with science. Late night pub discussion is not a viable theory.″[2]
There is a long philosophical and scientific history to the underlying thesis that reality is an illusion. This skeptical hypothesis can be traced back to antiquity; for example, to the "Butterfly Dream" of Zhuangzi,[3] or the Indian philosophy of Maya, or in Ancient Greek philosophy Anaxarchus and Monimus likened existing things to a scene-painting and supposed them to resemble the impressions experienced in sleep or madness.[4]
A version of the hypothesis was also theorised as a part of a philosophical argument by René Descartes.
Aztec philosophical texts theorised that the world was a painting or book written by the Teotl.[5]
Simulation hypothesis
Nick Bostrom's premise:
Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us suppose for a moment that these predictions are correct. One thing that later generations might do with their super-powerful computers is run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears. Because their computers would be so powerful, they could run a great many such simulations. Suppose that these simulated people are conscious (as they would be if the simulations were sufficiently fine-grained and if a certain quite widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind is correct). Then it could be the case that the vast majority of minds like ours do not belong to the original race but rather to people simulated by the advanced descendants of an original race.
Nick Bostrom's conclusion:
Nick Bostrom in 2014
It is then possible to argue that, if this were the case, we would be rational to think that we are likely among the simulated minds rather than among the original biological ones.
Therefore, if we don't think that we are currently living in a computer simulation, we are not entitled to believe that we will have descendants who will run lots of such simulations of their forebears.
— Nick Bostrom, Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?, 2003[6]
The simulation argument
In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed a trilemma that he called "the simulation argument". Despite the name, Bostrom's "simulation argument" does not directly argue that we live in a simulation; instead, Bostrom's trilemma argues that one of three unlikely-seeming propositions is almost certainly true:
"The fraction of human-level civilizations that reach a posthuman stage (that is, one capable of running high-fidelity ancestor simulations) is very close to zero", or
"The fraction of posthuman civilizations that are interested in running simulations of their evolutionary history, or variations thereof, is very close to zero", or
"The fraction of all people with our kind of experiences that are living in a simulation is very close to one."
The trilemma points out that a technologically mature "posthuman" civilization would have enormous computing power; if even a tiny percentage of them were to run "ancestor simulations" (that is, "high-fidelity" simulations of ancestral life that would be indistinguishable from reality to the simulated ancestor), the total number of simulated ancestors, or "Sims", in the universe (or multiverse, if it exists) would greatly exceed the total number of actual ancestors.
Bostrom goes on to use a type of anthropic reasoning to claim that, if the third proposition is the one of those three that is true, and almost all people with our kind of experiences live in simulations, then we are almost certainly living in a simulation.
newfag who can't be bothered to read the drops!
Anon cannot help Anons self!
Is Anon Bad?!
Is that a bad thing?!
Anon has like many many (you)s
Can't we just work a deal where Anon pays a fine?
Anon tries not to be an elitist yet who does not want to be in that 1% group who can handle 100% of the truth, Amirite?
Now that it's just us… let's talk about you know who?!
Nope, Quads confirm!
Muh JEW Shills are self loathing Jews who hate everything!
This feels so familiar.
De ja vu
Watch! BO is gonna come in and tell anon to stop shitposting so much!
Simulation theory unsettles peop's like that sometimes.
kek
Anon never said anon was!
Anon is prettier than this man!
kek
I don't care what Q said on the subject Anon believes.
Yep
Another bad reaction.
Clean up on aisle 7!
Maybe we should save Aliens and Time travel for another night?
no!
Although anon will entertain Expanding Earth Theory?
"In the Atlantic, the spreading is so obvious even a child can see it"
NP Some wonderful Anon first gave it to me a few months ago. Another Anon helped me figure out how to embed mp4 after posting another copy recently.
Still sorta rubbing my eyes about it. Imagine such a "Proof" not being TOP PAGE NEWS on some MAIN STREAM MEDIA by now OR some Anon proving it false.
I want to believe but if it's fake it's fake.
Any Video expert Anon want to PROOF that mp4 and/or the video original if it can be found, Please?
take a baby aspirin
if it stops immediately thereafter you might have high blood pressure
Excellent.
Do you know if Mcinerney has a social media account or not?

Very Interesting.
Flynn could have just said no with a chuckle and went on.
Anon don't know about other Anons but Resurrection sounds like something that would be pretty freakin biblical.
we knew but no one wanted to rag you about it :D
STFU you lying piece of white trash meth head motherfucker :D
you matter
Didnt see this one until now.
Awww you were hopeful huh?
kek
Are you him?!
Don't lie?!
Consider the end!
What punk Bitch?
Anon has pretty much destroyed every aspect of your existence with Logic and Reason.
Basically you exist on the level of theory only now like AI.
Yet still you persist and that is probably because SOROS BUCKS pays for your meth habit!
Here is you nomming your own PALESTINE GOOD ISRAEL BAD SHILLY SHIT FROM THE OTHER NIGHT
Lefty fucking infiltrator.
teehee!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Meth Rules for Radicals!
kek
The baker faker muh joo shill back story:
They are just here to honey pot racist Anons!
They are actually patriots serving their country…
It's just so we can have "that" conversation, Anons!
and other BULLSHIT which few believe
Irony? Don't you mean "coincidence" there el tardo?
Alright! ALRIGHT!
King Shill Slayer is going to bed now so you little bitches have approx. 8-9 hours to have fun until the nightmare resumes.
Sleep Tight you fucking Parasites! :D
Love you, Anons.
