God of your own simulation universe?

[Weeping Garbage Can]

hi everyone, I hope you're taking care and doing ok.

I was watching this YouTube series "Power Corrupts" by DarkMatter2525.

The premise: one teenager named Yahweh is taking one of his exams. This is in the future with more advanced technology, so the particular exam Yahweh takes is testing one's true ability to lead by putting each tester in a simulation where they are the god i.e. ultimate controller of a universe.

If you were put in a simulation that gave you total control, how would you shape/create the universe?

 

[Sinbad]

how would you shape/create the universe?

I would keep everything the way it is minus humans.

 

[stellabelle]

Reminds me of another patient in a psych ward I was in.
He claimed the sole reason I exist is because he was a god-like being that wanted to experience what it was like to be in a psych ward, out of boredom.
So he made up a universe where he'd end up in one and I was merely an imaginary person created to populate the ward.

Seems legit.

I would keep everything the way it is minus humans.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Some sort of celestial wonderland might be nice.

 

[ForWhomTheBellTolls]

Thank you so much for this! I'm lovin' it.

Here is the first episode:

 

[Vegrau]

If I had to remake this world then I will create the world humanity deserve. If I were to create it from scratch then I wont create anything at all. To see my creation failing so hard like human? No thanks.

Rather than he is the god. To me it's more like we all are part of that "god". We all are one being experiencing everything at the same time. We are everyone and just one.

Sometimes I long for this!

What a use of the imagination, i like it.

Ooh a celestial wonderland would be breathtaking! I love looking at beautiful pics of space

I'm glad you like it! I love the creative and twist, but the satire might turn some people off.

I agree with you, but would lend it to all sentient creatures. I wish survival wasn't a necessary law of the land.

This reminds me of Andy Weir's short story, The Egg. Thanks for sharing your insights, Vegrau, it's making me think :)

The need for survival itself is nonsense. When the absolute truth to everything is entropy. Everything will end no matter what. Life.. is pitiful. Fighting against something it can never win. A pointless struggle and an ugly existence. For every atrocities committed in the name of life. Thus life is disgusting. Filled with lies and deceits. Treachery and delusions. After climbing over all that there's only nothing awaits. What a joke hahaha..

And pardon my ramblings. Glad you enjoyed my comments. I appreciate that.. if only people will think more.

 

[21Neberg]

I would give humans a little off-button only they themselves could access. It wouldn't be simple, but it would unlock once you've thought everything through and are calmly ready for death. Easy suicide for everyone!

Life feels like the biggest joke, I agree. Life may be personally worth it for some people, I understand, but the futility isn't worth it for others, and I wish that was understood too.

Genius! Maybe one day this could be developed into technology...

Sometimes thats exactly how I feel and think. And would probably do if I had God-like powers

Sometimes, I actually wish I was the only true sentient being in this universe, just so nobody else would actually suffer, but it would only appear that way.

Yes... there's a single point in my life where I found myself thinking that living in this world isn't so bad. Found myself wishing that the world will continue on like this. Found myself wanting to make things better even though I knew how pointless it all is. To forgot about the things I carry and my desire to die. Hahaha.. Yet even that small solace were taken from me thus proven that I was never wrong about life.

Life should never be force on someone. It should be a choice.

I find life, at least in how I experience it, to be like a Ferris wheel: a hopeful moment at the bottom, then a long duration of hopelessness and suffering, until another brief hopeful moment starts again. I agree with you; recognizing life as a choice is all the more compassionate imo.

Thanks for sharing, Vegrau, I hope you take care <3

Earth 2.0 minus primates and humans

 

[Weeping Garbage Can]

May I ask why you included primates?

 

[FTL.Wanderer]

Antinatalism.

 

[Minudah]

I wouldn't. Simulations with sentient are cruel

 

[Redt2go]

May I ask why you included primates?

They are close in intelligence and operate similar to humans, I think they would dominate earth in a similar fashion as we do over time. Lol I like science fiction

 

[First loss]

I'd keep the world as it is, or maybe do some small chances.

I'd redesign humans and societies though.

 

[Soon4me]

I would not turn my back on Humans and Abandon them like "god" did.
It's like if you have a pet cat.A pet is for life,you look after it for life,if you're not prepared to do that,then don't get a pet.
If you're a god and you create humans TAKE FUCKING CARE OF THEM or else don't fucking create them in the first place.
Maybe god is dead?

 

[ForestLove]

Create a beautiful world with much lesser humans with no suffering. Paradise on Earth.

I find this a great question and quite challenging
I would hopefully be a better person if I was "playing God or Gods practical or actual"
Try not to send people to eternal torture I don't agree with that personally.

 

[Psilo]

I would get rid of the human disease first. Everything would go just fine by itself after that.
