What is Simulation Theory?
Simulation Theory is a philosophical and scientific hypothesis proposing that our perceived reality might be an advanced computer simulation. What we experience as the physical world could be a digital construct. Simulation Theory is NOT A RELIGION. You can hold the belief that the universe is a simulation and be ANY KIND of religious or non-religious. You can interpret Simulation Theory in many different ways. You can interpret the creator of the simulation as good, bad, or neutral.
Plato referred to this theory in his famous "allegory of the cave". In the allegory, Plato describes people who have spent their entire lives chained by their necks and ankles in front of an inner wall with a view of the empty outer wall of the cave. They view the shadows projected of themselves as "reality", despite not being accurate representations of the real world.
This is not a modern concept and predates Gnosticism, though it is commonly associated with Gnosticism.
Ignore people derailing this thread with 1000 iterations of "JESUS IZ KANG AND U R SATAN". Don't engage with them. Don't bother replying to that "I AM GOD U MERE MORTALS" schizo either.

Simulation theory requires a computer that is impossible to differentiate from the qualities of God and has to have been made by God. This computer requires more energy than all of the the energy in the universe to render the universe.
It has to remember all the cigarette butts I throw under the bush in front of my house, and every stain on every square of sidewalk should be choose to test it's rendering capabilities at the same time, or has to know "everybhair on your head and every thought in your mind" so it can read your intent to reality test it, and it has to have the propensity for it to do this with 8 billion people testing reality at the same time

The computing power required to make your ChatGPT AI slop images was also unheard of until recently. This is the last reply you will get from me though and I advise everyone to ignore your unrelated spam because you are commenting nothing new or useful.

Gematria says that tentacle rape of the brain nakes the simulation, idk how true it is tho. It does say I am right about tentacle demons.

I'm still waiting for you to provide something new of ,useful, since the only thing new and useful is what I revealed I. The last thread.
And I've been writing about it since several years before AI models existed:

Thanks for this statement. There is a push for this to be relegated as a Reddit atheist tier Temu theism, but I find this rather stupid. I mean first off, just because the world is a simulation does not negate the fact God is real. Then you have the assumption that God made it and/or we are sim, with the users pedeling this not seeming to realize that other entities would need to make it else it would just be another reality and that we might hale from the base reality and the sim is not our native realm.
Also, Descartes had the whole EvilDemon thong, and ge was Christian(I think was much more than a simple thought experiment, predictive programming ig).

the demiurge would make a simulation and so would a demon, but why would a god?

Let's just say it's my dream and I'm God, right? Ok, God says take a fucking stand for him or be deleted from fake and gay dream.wothoit a wimper.
If it's fake and gay, I'm the only one that exists and I'm God, and that's what I demand if you want to be anything more than a figment of my imagination

Simulation theory has a number of answers to sin (not just rape). We could be dealing with a situation where "sinners" are actually NPC replacements for the people that appear to be doing the sin, who have been sent off into a different simulation where they don't do anything and live their lives normally. We could be dealing with a situation where a system-level virus slowly robs us of our free will and makes us sin. We could even be dealing with a situation where a version of us outside this simulation or even in the future is making choices for the us inside the simulation so that we can experience things we wouldn't otherwise, that make/made us who we are, giving us some semblance of control over the bad things that happen to us, even if we can't see it from within the sim.
So for the rape example, the victim in the simulation experiences being raped and has, lightly, a bit of a bad time. Outside the simulation, perhaps even in the future, they actually chose someone they trust and love to go into the simulation/past as an avatar to cause that to happen, not only to learn whatever life lessons that caused them to learn and have the experiences it caused them to have, but to take agency and control over their life back for themselves, retroactively.

Not even remotely a problem if energy itself is actually infinite. We're used to energy scarcity and resource scarcity more broadly, so we take it as a given that other simulations, to include higher order simulations hosting us, must be under the same constraints, but we can look at video games and their free resource console commands and cheat codes to know that in a simulation, resource scarcity is always artificial. There's really no reason to think the host can't just copy+paste their data centers and server farms and their power plants on the fly.
Oh, our sims just developed a new telescope that lets them see farther than James Webb? Let's spawn in a few new data centers and a couple power plants for them, and procedurally generate more of their universe!
And this is also assuming object permanence is always equally real, that efficiency and optimization practices don't have things that aren't being actively looked at or engaged with abstracted to pure mathematics or offloaded to HDD/long-term memory storage.

There are several reasons to make such an assumption. Not least of which is that we can always ask, if we find ourselves in an ordered reality after leaving this one, "what causes this place to behave in an ordered fashion? What causes physics to be consistent?" We might expect actual "base reality" to be an infinite, ever changing, pure energy and color source, from which ordered existence has crystallized within as a product of source's infinite nature.
