Lasty Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 everything is slow for a few seconds while the game loads adjacent chunks. Maybe that's why we feel tired in the morning? The simulation has to load the world? Your real body is a computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnmjy Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 But your computer is completely generating the Minecraft world. We are merely sensing the external environment. Sorry, but bad analogy, unless you're a solipsist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poof Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 The electromotive force creates you as it becomes the container of the information that is you. People think about a brain sitting in a skull sensing the external environment, but the external environment includes the brain. The only internal is the electric current in the body. If you like being alive it means you really like flowing through that brain and the rest of the body. Don’t get too attached to it bc at every moment you’re also dissipating into the body and then radiating into the rest of the universe when you convert into heat energy. That’s why you can only perceive “the present” bc you’re the new energy. You’re only here for about 100 milliseconds. After that you leave the logic circuit and contain no more information. It’s like taking the Mona Lisa and burning it in a fire, the visual information was there but it’s irrelevant to the process as the universe has new priorities for the energy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamped Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 If we're waiting on games to load to experience physical simulation, I'll wait for Striking Vipers I'm not ashamed to say I would be equally excited to safely and responsibly relieve stress by beating the fuck out of Lee from Tekken but also ... wait ....WAIT ... WAIT Nvm I must be ovulating Spoiler But also fucking the shit out of him .... feels wrong.... not from my morals but to type so many curse words without punctuation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Schrodingers cat wants to take a shit on all this.. https://betterexplained.com/articles/gotcha-shrodingers-cat/ However there is this whole subatomic debacle that is probably best left to actual quantum physicists to describe because much like schrodingers cat it's often misunderstood as well..(I was going to use this as a counter for schrodingers cat myself until reading the article below) Interesting shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics) I know I must have watched a hundred videos and articles where someone is describing the "observer effect" in a way that makes it seem like subatomic particles KNOW they are being watched, but from what I understand that's all bs as well. electrons are just so small a few photons bouncing off the eye have convinced observers something spooky is going on? Idk according to the wiki article 'electronic detectors' cause all this. I like the whole 'the universe is a simulation' idea as a thought expiriment at least, but ehhh it doesn't hold up to acual intense scientific scrutiny from what I gather. Don't let me spoil the fun here though.. Sell me on this shit. I'll take both pills Morpheus.

I’m def gonna check it out thanks 😋 Thing about the internet tho, if the world were going to be a big brain/gaia , it would already be one way before the internet. The internet would just be an upgrade. Think of the printing press as an upgrade in bandwidth and encoding time but not speed since ppl still had to carry the info manually to each other. Information theory isn’t going to care how the data gets there. Like how they sent network packets via carrier pigeons as a joke. Or Brian in family guy telling the zoomer girl that a book is “the internet made out of a tree.” Edited February 13, 2022 by Poof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a program designed to connect people. So what you mentioned might be just that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two people talking makes a conversation that you can have a transcript of. If the two people never met/spoke, neither could create the transcript on their own. So reproduction is two sets of information interacting and creating a new set of information which changes the state and structure of the DNA network.

I was thinking about the pigeons again today bc when i was on the page for this thread before I saved this pic bc funny but that got me thinking about it again. And the races they put on between pigeons carrying physical media and the network cables. The pigeons actually won usually bc physical media being carried has hella bandwidth. Like if you pick up a 1tb hard drive and movie it, your bandwidth for the trip was 1 tb over time. So I imagined in the future there might be super fast drones that carry packages of physical media along certain internet routes. It would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
