You just figured out that you've been miserable your entire life, so you blame it on not having an ego*
[QUOTE=Inzalonus;36338639]sometimes I get so high it feels like my life is just part of a collective experience
it's so hard to explain what I mean by that, it's like, I can image other people's lives around me from their perspectives and experience this sense of all those consciousnesses working together..
what if we're just a part of that and when we die, we just become another part of the universe's conscious experience, in some form or another, because one day, in the infinite of time, matter is essentially guaranteed to form it self in a similar way, to repeat the sort of conditions we've had, simply because time IS infinite.
You know how they say, put a bunch of monkeys with typewriters into a room and given infinite time they will eventually write shakespear.
what if we are that shakespear, and the monkeys are just you know, the physical forces that all matter and waves etc go under

This guy gets it.

son i been thinking the exact same shit its so crazy i believe you
The meaning of life, a question asked by many, though looking at it logically, meaning can not be defined without purpose. Purpose indicates a subjective mind, consciously making a decision, for the concept of a performing task, requiring meaning, for it to be even considered meaningful. Ergo, meaning is impossible without a decision. Therefore, applying decision through an objective perspective, is axiomatically false reasoning.
ok, so first of you know how crystals have the potential to store information. now thc is a crystal that can be grown on weed. so we can really just be smoking memories? or what ever information it has in it?

THC isn't a crystal, it's in a small stalk that grows out of the buds. cool idea though.
Snails man, what if like they're really brilliant little creatures but are unable to put they're thoughts into action because their snail bodies limit their skills so they are worthless and feel majorly depressed because of it and they climb to the tops of trees to get eaten by birds as a form of suicide.
i said this to my friend last night and he was like 'woa'
So what if our entire universe really is a computer simulation, but in the space/universe in which the computer(s) exist, it takes hundreds of thousands of years to calculate a single moment of our own reality.
So any given second of our lives is possibly millions of years of intricate and concise calculations, but due to us only being able to perceive the events that occur within the simulation, we believe time passes in a linear manner at a much more rapid rate.

How could beings that can create software to run such a simulation fail to develop the technology so it doesn't take so long. Thats like having the best computer in the world with everything maximum and then having a processor that is 1khz fast.
for the same reason it still takes hours to days to compile complex renders regardless of OUR hardware capabilities?

if it makes no difference inside the simulation, as there aren't any occurrences within it while information is being processed, then you may as well have a processor that DOES run at 1k cycles per second and just an incredibly large cache. It's like a job made for an fx-8150 (too bad it sucks at everything else tho)

those complex renders would be nothing compared to a accurate simulation of a universe and thinking minds like seriously thats like comparing a rock to the starship enterprise.
Well sure it won't make any difference in the simulation but why would you want a simulation that runs that slowly for any reason?
You realise that you would have to have insane quantum computing technology to make a simulation of the universe and everything in it meaning you would have the technology for it to not run that slowly.
Well, in elementary logic, one would have to have built the computer with a memory capacity capable of storing every quantifiable value in the universe. If they had the software capabilities of queuing those values in such a way that a simple silicon die can calculate each one and account for every value acting on it (eg. every particle's gravitational force throughout the universe), it could be plausible.
I don't think it's really all that far out, not at all. Basically all your machine has to be able to do is know where everything is at a given moment and have an instruction set that understands how each value affects another, and if it can affect another.
how would you check if it was working if it went that slow?
I suppose you could always take the same concept and apply it to a much smaller set of values before beginning the simulation.
The point was the perspective of time passage though, and how neat it'd be to be aware of every breath you take, every skin cell shed, and being aware that as you take that breath, or as that cell falls toward your floor, another universe has had such events occur a mind boggling amount of times moreso than our own. Makes you feel little.
Thanks for the food for thought though, I'm gonna go do my dishes and have my first bowl of the day, peace.
we are all agents of chaos. chaos defines us, envisions us, created us, will destroy us and we will forever be at the mercy of it.
by all definition of the term, chaos itself is god.

As I was solving a first world problem of untangling my headphones, I had a thought as I was finishing near the end, thinking what was the point? It was like all of our problems are entangled and knotted together and it takes a long time and is sometimes tedious to try to unravel our problems throughout our lives just so we can enjoy life's music. And then I thought it would've been easier just to stick them in my ear all tangled up and not care, just skip to listening the music and just live life.
Man: He sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present, the result being that he does not live in the present or the future. He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.

To us everything is at normal speed. Imagine if one person saw stuff as fast, to us that person would be slow. And imagine if another person saw stuff as slow, to us that person would be fast. If both looked at eachother then it would seem like they themselves were at a normal speed.

im pretty sure they would just seem normal to us because it would be normal for them and they would probably act like the average human being
