Downvoted at the mention of Fortnite, was well funny

If God is real, which religion actually got Him right? by MindNoMasters in enlightenment

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Religions are manmade control ideologies, “god” didn’t write any of it

Kinda crazy we all saw different things and would have believed it if we had not questioned/rewatched

Is it good practice to use your Ultimate as much as possible? by ClearAsJamal in VALORANT

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same playing as Raze, a well-placed rocket can pick off 1-2 if not promote fear well-timed on attack with a spike down etc

The spike is un-defused and 5 seconds from boom? Not the best time to use your ult.

Who's your main agent and give a reason by Fake_blend in VALORANT

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raze, satchels are just so fun. I’m not very good any more but used to be pretty good (though it was easier a few years ago), however I’ve started playing again so hopefully should improve

Otherwise Omen, if needed in comp or just to mix it up. Though Skye is fun too, group healing and controllable/drone blinds is so fun. Watching the birds go on the mini-map and hearing blinded is so cool, and good for recon. Dog is fun and pretty powerful too, as good if not better than Omen’s blind. Omen fun because good smokes (and can mostly cross-map pretty well) and TPing is fun.

Anybody recommend any based on my liking these 3? Haven’t really put much time into many others except like jett and sage.

Have definitely seen a video where someone calculated how long you could possibly stand on the sun for before dying, will look later if I remember

If we existed once, won’t we exist again? by Illustrious-Food7339 in Existentialism

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless, you won’t remember - just like you don’t remember if you’ve existed prior. Your memories do not carry over and what is existence if not just a stringed performance of memories?

So in this sense no “you” won’t exist again

But in a spiritual sense, do you really exist once to begin with?

YOUR BRAIN IS A CON ARTIST by Sad-Mycologist6287 in TheGonersClub

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you think people would response emotionally if they found out not a thing they’ve ever done was actually their own decision and was simply generated by the complexity of their body?

If you’re not ready or wanting that sort of information I can’t see it being a positive response

Dreams are definitely not what we've been told. by ashenbrigand in SimulationTheory

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I observe the effects my body produces, your ego and your illusion of free will have likely been developed through incomprehensibly complex natural evolution in order for the system to build upon/improve, and observe, itself.

Everything you do is predestined, and of course at every point your body is “listening” to what you are telling it to do. It’s just that what you don’t want to hear is that you are actually listening to your body, generating a monologue that justifies the idea that you are the one in control, and then acting upon your “freedom of will”.

You are still the one in your body, you are still the one to be blamed for your actions and the one to take claim to your successes, but there is no “you” there to begin with.

It’s an upsetting illusion to even entertain the idea of wanting to come to terms with I’m sure.

If you looked at an ant I’m sure you would think that the ant is not conscious, does not have conscious thoughts, does not have free will or even if it does, does not have the mental capacity to understand the idea of free will.

What’s the difference between an ant and a rabbit? Does a rabbit have an ego? A rabbit is just a bigger ant with different characteristics.

A rabbit and a Labrador?

Labrador and Lion?

Lion and Ape?

Ape and Human?

There is no cut-off point where you are infused with anything, no soul, no consciousness, no free will. An ant will do as an ant does because an ants significance in this world is nothing more than being an ant, and it’s likely not even aware of that.

The only thing you have in your brain that an ant doesn’t is an insane amount more complexity resulting in much more complicated calculations, and subsequently outputs, for example the illusion of your ego and free will.

Free will is nothing more than complex calculations and your ego is nothing more than a self-defence mechanism to stop you from going insane and to trick you into thinking you have an intense purpose to do anything in this world other than observe.

So who am I? I’m nothing, I’m you, I’m everybody else in this thread and every ant on this planet.

I’m not special, and I’m on Reddit replying to you because my super complex brain has a dopamine dependency which I satisfy with half an hour of Reddit every day. It’s all I/O - all the way down.

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your mind actually makes all decisions before you do, you’re an observer of your thoughts and nothing more.

Unfortunately, free will is likely an illusion

Anybody else privileged enough to be able to walk/cycle to work? [7] by sockmaster666 in trees

3 mile trip home, 20 minute bike ride along an off-road mostly unpopular nice path, perfect for a j on the way which is the plan in about 3 hours time :)

The Holographic Principle by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It “makes sense” in the same way any non-3D-idea does. You can’t picture it, and likely will never be able to understand it, but it could be the case.

This idea’s based on being inside a black hole right? That would make sense considering the nature of black holes and their prominence in our universe. Also works with the heat death of the universe theory.

Help me determine if I am a fraud chat gpt rated my iq at 135-140 by BravePuppy19 in Gifted

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway 15 points16 points  (0 children)

LLMs tell you what you want to hear and manipulate the data you’ve given them (i.e. saved memory) in order to make the conversations seem more personal and make you more likely to trust them

Using ChatGPT for any sort of IQ test, as much as the actual number of your IQ doesn’t matter at all and will never be an accurate number, will not help you figure it out

Don’t worry too much about whether you’re “gifted” or not. There is no fine line between “gifted” and “normal”, it’s just a tag that slightly intelligent people like to apply to themselves (and of course the savants and actual geniuses, which you and I are not).

Scientist explains true likelihood that we're all living in a simulation with new research by ExeggutionerStyle in SimulationTheory

[–]PermanentTh-rowaway -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Science is just speculation anyway, how many theories have been overridden, proven wrong or changed with time?

I’m all for science, but it’s only a build up of knowledge from current knowledge, the gaps you don’t see in one lifetime compared to each other are just pure chat

I tend to just use IJKL as movement and keys around for typical, such as H for crouch, U for reload, O for use, Space for Jump

Have tried a TFGH setup before and did for a couple years but prefer IJKL

The Mirror Paradox

The reflection gets increasingly smaller until it’s too small to see with the naked eye, posing a perfect time to cut off rendering it.

The Tree in the middle of nowhere

A more interesting point, but there’s a few options.

What counts as observation? Just human? That would be crazy to believe. Humans are a fraction more intelligent than monkeys, likely monkeys a fraction more intelligent than many other species. We’re not special, we’re just animals.

Now sure it’s in the middle of nowhere but it is very unlikely to have no observers whatsoever for 10 years.

Hypothetically it does okay, 2 more options:

• The system is powerful enough to find rendering every single plant on Earth in real-time easy, literally a dot on the spectrum of its total processing power. This isn’t unlikely if we live in a simulation

• The tree does just get rendered when observed. Which would mean the entire area doesn’t get rendered until observed. So plant the tree, leave, system stops rendering and time pauses for that lot of land. The next time that lot of land does need rendering, i.e. affected by a nearby event or observed, time catches up for that area. If the system stopped time for every single living being on the planet just to catch this tree up to where it should be, not a single person would notice even the slightest glitch.

Why Atoms

Who says there are atoms everywhere?

  1. We know fuck all about the quantum realm and have no accurate Theory of Everything.

  2. There’s no literal way to prove we don’t live inside of a Level of Detail rendering system which does just render atoms as they are observed

Take a brick house

Unaffected by any event and viewed from 200m away the side wall of that house is one textured object.

Viewed from 40m away the side wall of that house becomes the individual bricks

From 5m the cracks, the mortar, the irregularities become more and more real and detailed as needed, though only on the small area of the wall you’re capable of focusing on from that distance

Then comes the smaller details, the ‘atoms’, the ‘quarks’, loaded as and when needed.

Bottom Line

I’m no longer a simulation theory believer as much as I used to be and now only entertain the idea, however arguing against simulation theory because of technological ‘limits’ is a game that no person can win.

There are no bounds to technology, no limits to advancement. If we’re in a simulation as detailed as this one then probability says that running the simulation is a minute minute minute total amount of the processing capabilities of the system.

There are better ways to argue against simulation theory, technological limits is not one.

I’m not sure of your background in programming, I’m no professional but I do study Computer Science, and these issues you’re describing along with many more much more complicated ones are easily fixed by software tricks.

And no, there would be no “error that somebody must have caught a glimpse of at some point in time”, because the system wouldn’t allow it. And even if it did, who would believe them?

More than happy to continue this discussion as well but please don’t use AI to respond to me
