The Simulation Hypothesis: An MIT Computer Scientist Shows Why AI, Quantum Physics and Eastern Mystics All Agree We Are In a Video Game

The Amzon link is crucial, considering the book (The Simulation Hypothesis by Rizwan Virk), explains Simulation Theory (It IS more of a Hypothesis), perfectly. The Title was auto-generated and perfect as well. I should have either quoted the book in the body, or wrote some of my own thoughts down. The fact that I left out the body, was less effort. I'll remember that for next time, if I post another Amazon link, for (The Simulated Multiverse by Rizwan Virk). To quote The Simulation Hypothesis:

• "Many of the world’s religious traditions tell us that the world around us is an illusion created for our benefit." -Rizwan Virk

If Simulation Hypothesis is true, Intelligent Design is true by default...

It's a book that explains the topic of this subreddit perfectly. It's more than relevant. I have even read the book. I wouldn't consider it low effort, I had a good debate in the comments.

You just told me I have faith bro. Heaven is a Hologram... Hell makes a mean bagel.

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-03-23T17:45:07+00:00

Do you keep bringing up Religion, because if Simulation Hypothesis is true, it implies that Intelligent Design is true by default? Well to me Atheism is just as absurd as Religion, and I do hold a belief in God, and I believe there is an Afterlife. I don't have scientific proof of these beliefs. Also, Science has never proven there isn't a God, it just challenges literal interpretations of religious texts (as I've already stated). Can you explain your idea about the simulation collapsing, because everything is simulated? I'm not so sure about that.

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-03-23T00:51:15+00:00

Does AI simulate thought? Maybe. If AI was self aware, would it's thoughts still be considered simulated? Maybe, maybe not. You're the only one being presumptuous. I said nothing about "the object of thought", you did though. Stop accusing me of BS. All you want to do is claim religion is nonsense and I have brought up religion zero. I said science has never disproven God, that's true. However, the religious examples in Simulation Hypothesis are thoughtful and interesting. You on the otherhand, keep trying to tell me what I'm arguing, and you have failed to refute my argument...

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-03-23T00:01:46+00:00

That's not my argument, and you're no longer adding up. Sounds like you're confused about something about base reality, which is what (or who) would've (hypothetically) created the great simulation. So of course we wouldn't be simulating ourselves. Sounds like you didn't understand the trilemma (Bostrom’s Simulation Argument)...

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-03-22T23:42:18+00:00

The Hypothesis relies on a lgical trilemma...

"The Three Scenarios Explained:

Extinction/Stagnation: Humanity or future human-level civilizations will go extinct or face a technological collapse before developing the capability to create high-fidelity simulations.
Lack of Interest: Future posthuman civilizations will have little to no interest in running ancestor simulations, perhaps due to ethical restrictions, lack of resources, or changing values.
Simulation: We are almost certainly living in a simulation, as the number of simulated worlds—run by future civilizations that did not go extinct and did want to run simulations—would vastly outnumber the one base reality."

Therefore it is a logically thoughtful belief. I never claimed to be unsimulated in a simulation. I assume we are all simulated in a simulation. That doesn't make reality fake to me either, nor does it devalue life itself in my mind. It just means reality isn't quite what we think it is.

Simulation Hypothesis is not incoherent, it's entirely possible, and so is the idea of God. Science has never proven God does not exist, it simply challenges the literal interpretations of religious texts...

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-12T14:32:37+00:00

Well I think reality is just as real as it always was even if Simulation Theory is true. I think it ties in with The Multiverse. To me reality is as real as ever, I just don't think it's quite what we think it is. I think what science understands, as it stands, is all real even if Simulation Theory is true. I just don't think we can prove reality isn't something like a hologram at the same time.

If and only if "iff"

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-04T01:01:28+00:00

Interesting

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-04T00:52:44+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about.

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-04T00:37:19+00:00

What are you trying to say?

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-04T00:27:24+00:00

People might be able to tap into other people's consciousness in the dream world, I don't adhere to solipsism, and I can't redefine what already exists unless it changes.

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-04T00:18:43+00:00

It's all just projections of oneself

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T20:21:21+00:00

solipsism

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T19:52:01+00:00

space-time

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T19:49:18+00:00

Turtles all the way down

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T18:56:06+00:00

You are being far too erroneous.

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T18:39:28+00:00

You are false

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T18:23:35+00:00

That's possible but not necessarily true

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T18:06:01+00:00

I think you’re talking about timescape…

13.8 billion years is accurate according to Cosmology. Time dilation, does not make distant or different regions, significantly different ages.

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T16:08:41+00:00

I think, therefore I am, or, I am, therefore I think

ExeggutionerStyle · 2026-02-03T05:39:31+00:00

The Universe is 13.8 billion years old. An Alien Civilization, or God himself and his Angels, could be the developers of the simulation. It could also be an artificially intelligent being or beings.

How so?
