If we lived in a digital simulation, then magic must be possible.

[mirror_mercury]

but if that's the case, why are some of us suicidal?

is there a chance for reincarnation, for a better life after we off ourselves?

or perhaps, if we lived strongly long enough, salvation will come?

anyways, please tell me your favorite VTuber, if you're into that

 

[whyyyyyyyy]

LOL, that's a hell of a set of topics

The truth is we don't know. We can't be certain about any conclusion regarding the afterlife. We can't even be certain about what will happen in one second from now, what will happen when we stand up off of our chair, if the ground will still be there in a moment when we take a step.

i wonder if planets are alive, have consciousness. if we're living in a digital simulation, then aliens are definitely possible

i wonder if aliens and planets are subtly guiding us, like we're their pets or something

for humans on earth to occur, there's a miraculous set of conditions to occur

I don't think you can jump from "we are in a simulation" to "that means magic is possible." Presumably any simulation has boundaries and rules to constrain the simulation.

A fantasy roleplaying videogame is a simulation, but you can't hop into the Starship Enterprise and laser all your enemies to win the game, because those things aren't programmed in the simulation. Someone outside the simulation would have to enable "magic" for it to be possible, and it seems like they have not... if this is a simulation that is.

 

[whyyyyyyyy]

The Earth could be conscious I guess, but are we its consciousness, or do you think the consciousness is in the soil, and it somehow perceives all the stuff going on in it, or maybe it's like an aura around the earth, like a field of consciousness where it witnesses everything. That'd be like God, assuming it has control.

Even if we aren't in a simulation, Aliens are possible, why not? They could show up whenever. Maybe our entire universe is really riding on top of a giant sea tortoise! But then what's the Sea Tortoise swimming in, is the tortoise itself in a simulation?

If you woke up from the simulation today, how would you know you've not just woken up into another false reality? This could happen forever, how would you ever know for sure?

Humans are very specific, considering color, matter, all of this dream we live in could be shaped in infinite different ways. They are very particular, but what makes it miraculous? Miraculous means it's special, but what is it really miraculous compared to? This is all there is. The universe of infinite black darkness might similarly say to itself, 'boy, it is a miracle that this infinite black darkness universe is in existence right now..' Again, miraculous compared to what? It's just random. It just is what it is.

We'll never know if anything is real or not. The earth is as real or as unreal as anything we see or hear. All we really know or see is our direct experience. Doesn't make it real or not real. We just experience. Maybe that is the most certain we can be?

Also, how do you define magic. If there a version of humans that couldn't walk, then the fact that we walk would be like if we found a species of humans that could all fly. Magical to us, but normal to the humans that fly. Everything in this reality is arguably magical and unbelievable, from that perspective. Magic meaning breaking the set rules of what we call "real" or "normal"... but how do we ever even set that? We call some things natural and some unnatural, yet anything that happens happened spontaneously due to the causes and conditions of the universe, just as anything does. So it's natural. The distinction makes no sense ultimately. Same thing with magic.

There must be cheat codes that can be abused. Golden Truths. Umineko.

 

[InversedShadow]

why are some of us suicidal?

Even in animes sometimes mental issues happen anyways, getting one's spirit down and limiting their potential, nobody can say that the ones making the digital wouldn't want the world to be cruel and unfair. Just like in our computers there might be malware, that corrupts the system and files leading to slow death of the personal system, but humans are more complicated than that.
To be honest, it all depends on what rules of the digital world are.

for reincarnation, for a better life after we off ourselves?

Theorethically, if reincarnation was possible then a chance for a better life would be possible, but to land in times where one would live a painful live would be just as likely, it can't be predicted by a mortal, only by someone as almighty as gods or someone privileged to look into strings of fate and look beyond them.

or perhaps, if we lived strongly long enough, salvation will come?

Who knows, assuming digital world theory it is unlikely for creators to break the sandbox, unless they would want their creation to ascend that far. In some fictional theories or myths if someone could prove worthy then salvation could come.. it's all just theories.

Not really that into it, but I liked Gura! she was pretty funny on her own and when she collaborated with other vtubers!

I do wonder how many possible game boards exist, does inevitable really exist? and if Golden Truths could exist in our world heh... an existance of meta world sure is fascinating too, not just digital world, but going further than that, something outside of the box.

Characters in the game typically can't cheat, though... someone outside the game has to be controlling the characters and using cheat codes.

Maybe it's still in beta stage and it's still full of bugs. Maybe the 'developers' have abandoned their project.

I suppose evolotion is a bit like a game developer. Except maybe with less of a clear goal. And, without listening to complaints!

I've never really been convinced by the simulation theory. Although, I've certainly wondered myself- if it were all code/ simulation- could there be 'cheats'? Could we wake ourselves up from it? But then- where would we wake up to?

 

[sheeplit]

If we're in a digital simulation, then we, here, are the frontmen to a greater understanding. If we jump off a building instead of CTB, if we believe hard enough, we might be The One to make the breach and fly.

Believe, my friends.

we don't want to wake up. we want to alter the simulation to our desires and wants. yes, this is trite, but you make life of what you want to make of it. we're definitely being watched by the planets and stars around us.

it's trite to say this, but you have as much control as you want

But not freedom to break the rules. If the rules of the simulation are that people cannot spontaneously fly and shoot laser beams from their eyes... then no matter how much you are aware of being in a simulation and want to fly and shoot eye lasers, you're not going to be able to do so unless you are outside of the simulation controlling a character and can hack the system. If you exist solely inside the system you are bound by the programming.

if you've never challenged the rules, how would you know? yes, you can fly and shoot eye lasers, maybe metaphorically

Sure, you think of something and try to do it... but if the rules don't allow it then you can't. That's all I'm saying. The only way out of that box is if the simulation has "power-ups" in the game that if you find one then you can shoot eye lasers... but then you haven't cheated or broken the rules because the rules provided the power-ups.

But actually changing the simulation requires access to the code, which could only happen outside the simulation.

no one will just give you the cheat codes, you have to discover it yourself

have you done the basics? if you're a guy, go to the gym

study hard, on whatever you want to specialize in

and don't forget to rest and recover occasionally

 

[Dejected 55]

You're never going to shoot lasers from your eyes no matter how much you study or workout... because it's not in the programming.

the programming inside, and the programming outside. with enough willpower, you can break boundaries

Sorry to sound cruel here but- if you truly believe you can make life exactly how you want and, I have to presume, being on a forum that discusses suicide- you can't be entirely happy. So- are you choosing to be suicidal and not entirely happy? Are they not things you can change also in this 'simulation'?
