I was having an online conversation
about whether we're a simulation and one of the points was uh that we couldn't be a simulation because it would be too many details that the simulation would have to keep track of to keep it consistent and I said there's nothing consistent in our in our observation you and I are seeing completely different realities and always have so there is no consistency requirement if we're a simulation it can be completely inconsistent and that would look just the way it looks today because we don't even agree what the news was you don't even agree with your siblings what happened when you were 12 that day right we walk around with completely different realities in our heads so no the simulation requires no programming to make us all think we're living in the same reality we already do we just don't notice it's all different my favorite example of that is tennis now I think I think this is scientifically valid or at least I heard it was um if you see a tennis ball hit at a hundred miles an hour and it hits the ground and bounces up and you're a professional tennis player you say I I just watched that ball hit the ground and they missed the line so I'm gonna I'm gonna challenge it and then the they play the replay and you see it actually sat right on the line before it bounced does that mean that the person who saw it is lying because they said I saw it online or were they hallucinating well the answer is they were hallucinating because your eyes are not even capable of seeing a ball that's moving 100 miles an hour you see a blur and what you might see is the ball just before a hit and then your eye might pick it up again after it's bounced up but the part where it hit the ground and you remember it clearly hitting the ground is not a memory it's manufactured your brain fills in the stuff in between because your eyes can't really track it going that fast so you have a you have a very specific memory that ball hitting the line exactly where you saw it and then jumping up but in fact you didn't see it because you couldn't your eyes are not capable of tracking a ball the entire path Now by luck by luck you might have maybe picked it up when you hit the ground but mostly you're seeing it every few feet and then your brain is filling in what's between once you learn that everything makes sense all right um here's another way to identify an NPC we're going to do another test in case you need confirmation if you think you're an NPC based on the first test you can make sure you comment on this one so don't go quiet just comment but do what you were going
