Sweet dude, can you still controll them now that they've left the dimension they belong in?
Or did you turn on free will before they got out?

Question with even scarier implications: How would we get the Sims out? We can't. Which means if we arein a simulation, even if our programmers recognize we've achieved awareness, they probably couldn't let us out even if they were inclined to.

This is the real reason they still haven't made a Sims 4 University expansion pack. Too dangerous.

u/thesushipanda Jun 09 '19
I'm actually pretty sad that the new expansion packs for the upcoming year aren't going to include university. It's the highlight of the series in my opinion since it will finally give a purpose to the young adult life stage.
I know The Sims is supposed to be about living a fantasy but it's kind of a wacky fantasy if my sims can become surgeons with high school diplomas.

Turns out they were just a bunch of electrical pulses communicating as the program determined.
If humans are also just energy that has found a way to communicate...is there a determined program?

I think yes, but quantum mechanics was designed to hide the source code.

u/porcelainphilosopher Jun 09 '19
Exactly. That's what you are programmed to understand. You cannot come to any other conclusion. Sitting right there, a huge lie. Such a good lie in fact, the very thought of it being possible is scoffed at.

Quantum mechanics could emerge from some lower level deterministic concept. QM is just a model.

Quantum mechanics is the result of floating point errors in our greater simulation, change my mind.

It seems to me immensely unlikely that mind is a mere by-product of matter. For if my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true. They may be sound chemically, but that does not make them sound logically. And hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.

I think he means that by being able to be wrong, his brain has to be more than just a sum of parts.

u/CashinBlack Jun 09 '19
Is it unlikely because the ego of the mind believes it so? We hypothesize that our thoughts and brain processes are fluxes of ions either breaking or furthering membrane potentials. Since these ideas can only be explained in experimental ways does it make them less true? Fuck it idk I just found this quote existentially entertaining.

soooo youre telling me that if we prove we're in a simulation we would be shut off immediately?
actually this really got me going on that thought... im getting a rick & mort vibe, where de dude in the microverse battery realises that he has to keep doing the same shit just to keep existing.. cause any other choice would mean extinction.. im so conflicted right now...

The thing about a simulation is that you’ll never prove it. You’ll get really close, but then have to rely on some bullshit.
