Well I guess that explains it lol

These ADHD memes hitting a little too hard

Kinda hard to tell because its a common misconception (for people who just read the first book). I hear what you’re sayin though

Someone didn’t finish the series lol

I am your father… you piece of shit

I stopped posting to meme@lemmy.ml. Try memes@lemmyworld

Complaining about the rules is, ironically, against the rules. I found that out the hard way.

Yeah, my dad would disown me again if I sent him this

Seriously, why did OP post this two weeks ahead of time

Bookpilled. If you’re into science fiction books, he’s a great YouTuber to check out.

edit: Also, he does extra videos on his Patreon. But if you don’t like him try Outlaw Bookseller and Media Death Cult.

Great ideas. Too bad our politicians don’t listen to us.

Took forever to find out, but, “Daisy” on backroomcasting.

Well I suppose it depends on your views of consciousness. Some would argue that our consciousness is nothing more than an emergent phenomenon grounded on the electrical impulses of our neurons. Personally, I’m convinced that the phenomenon need not be physical. It should be possible, with enough computing power, to model the same interactions. But I admit that if you reject this possibility, then the simulation hypothesis loses credence.

Yes, this is the idea. Although, as another noted, you can argue back and forth on whether Bostrom’s argument holds.

Sorry, I suppose people haven’t heard of the “Simulation hypothesis” in philosophy.

Nick Bostrom argued that, statistically, it is more likely that we live in a simulation than not. Assume that an advanced civilization could build a machine with enormous computing power, sufficient to simulate a human mind and a universe “around” it. It follows that the number of such simulated minds/universes could be near infinite. So the probability of our actually being in a simulated universe dwarfs the probability that our reality is not a simulation.

Specifically, “casting couch”.
