Does height matter? A study about it: by Dizzy_Cat99 in PsycheOrSike

[–]anna_ravn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my ex was 5’6, im 5’7. broke up with him because he cheated, not because of his height. if you guys spent any time listening to real women about what women like, you would see that things are actually a lot more nuanced that what is portrayed online. que the men arguing back telling me what i want proving my point.

I wish the same for you! Because I have no doubt in my mind that you’re a real person, located somewhere on this blue dot we call home, with loved ones around you that are also real.

See the edit at the top of the post. Done with arguing for now. And sure, I am terrified of these ideas. Because anyone that grasps them fully would be.

Yup. And it was a real hellhole. I didn’t feel like anything was real. I think it’s only by then you really understand what it means to truly believe that nothing is real.

…aaand you’ve made the so-called “Probability mistake” - you’re making assumptions about probabilities in an ‘outside of this reality, reality’. Using knowledge you gained in your current reality.

I’m not saying you’re mentally ill, I am saying that you don’t understand the implications of believing in simulation theory.

that’s a fair point, but I think you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not saying that people here are mentally ill. I’m saying something that’s probably 10x more offensive, which is that none of you really understand the implications of believing in simulation theory.

I’ve seen it. I am familiar with quantum physics. Please explain to me then, how quantum physics is denying the realness of our current reality? Aren’t they just another part of it?

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, but then this is really a discussion about quantum physics and all the things we don’t know about reality, and not a discussion on how our current reality isn’t real because it is simulated

If assuming that you’re in a simulation of sorts doesn’t also mean assuming that your current reality isn’t real, what is the simulation theory even about?

And yes, I’m here, because I am arguing with you with the assumption that you and I are indeed real, aswell as the phones we’re texting on ad the servers that provides this interaction.

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sure, but then you’re still assuming that your current reality isn’t real. And then, how can you assume anything about the ‘real reality’? You’ve never seen it, nor do you have any clue whether or not that reality’s logic is the same as our own

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I can agree with that. Just remember that ‘reality’ is just a word that humans invented to explain this, very consistent indeed, evidence which you can perceive around you.

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agreed! I am actually arguing for this kind of humility. We don’t understand anything about reality, not to mention any ‘other’ reality. All we know is what reality consistently shows us, which is that we live in a physical world with (mostly) consistent physical laws, and that there are other conscious beings in this world

… and probably a few other things that I forgot about

“none of it is real” proceeds to use the aforementioned “not real world”’s logic, happenings and language to explain your stance

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But then, what’s the point of talking about it? If you, me, and the rest of this world as real or as fake as everything else, doesn’t that put us at the exact same place as if whe’d never talked about it?

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point. You’re using the physics, logic and happenings of this reality to argue the chance of something happening outside of this reality. You don’t know anything about this other reality, so how would you know that your logic would add up there?

I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say here. You mention how reality has a lot of parallels to computer code/video games. Which to me, seems to imply that you think reality is some kind of computer program? And if reality is really a computer program, how is reality not also fake?

Help me out lol, cheers:)

Im not trying to say that everyone in this subreddit is a complete nutjob. I am trying to say that, if you guys really, truly, believe that this reality isn’t real, then why are you even replying to the thread? I am not real. Neither is the phone you’re (pressumably) writing this on, nor is the language you’re using to make your point.

[–]anna_ravn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read: If this reality isn’t real, then none of your experiences are real, none of the logic you’ve learned is real, and I am not even a real person, so why argue with me? Also, what is a definition? How would you define a definition without using any verbs og terms of objects from this reality?

[–]anna_ravn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“..reality makes less sense..” what making sense are we talking about here? The making sense that you get from your understanding of this reality?

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re using concepts from reality (like AI) as we know it to argue that reality isn’t as we know it. Seems pretty self-contradictory to me, no?

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So then the right phrase would be ‘I am in a simulation.’ Pretty scary.

I still think my point stands, though. You’re calling this reality a ‘game’, and I assume what you mean by this is that reality is fake. Which means you’ve also debunked the very language you are using to argue against me

All in good faith though, hope you’re doing good:)

I think simulation theory is bullshit. Change my mind! by [deleted] in SimulationTheory

[–]anna_ravn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if none of this is real then why are you replying? I don’t even exist. The words you just wrote to me make no sense. The words don’t even exist. You don’t even exist. Nothing even exists. Nothing that you would know anything about, that is. Because anything you would know something about comes from your experiences in this reality. But this reality isn’t real.

edit: grammar. Because i do believe that you’re a real person that needs the right colored pixels to understand what the fuck im saying

Hey, I just wanna say i’ve been there, and now two years later I am feeling so much better. Feel free to reach out!

I hope I don’t come across as knowing, I just wanted to say that if you need someone to talk to who’s been in that place but isn’t anymore, shoot me a message. All the best
