does /sci/ believe in the simulation hypothesis? Picture is related. It is barnsley's fern a pattern produced by the chaos game. Which through seemingly pure randomness produces fractal patterns.

No.
And no novel consequences should be drawn from believing in it or not anway.

just trying to imagine what kind of machine could simulate this makes my head hurt.

I think it's possible, but for us to get there we need the current academic system to die. Its the only thing that's holding us back.

I can't wrap my head around how patterns can emerge out of chaos

I don't because at that point its easier to have a organic life and observe.

This.
It makes no difference if it's a simulation or not.
It makes no difference if there is a creator or not.
It makes no difference if it's all random chance or not.
You are still stuck in a fleshy, watery meatbag, passively observing existence for no apparent reason.

are the guys running the simulation wondering who's running their simulation?

all you have to do is to spend 10 seconds to reflect on your thinking and see why it's pointless and yet you didn't do that
why?

Who crated god? God's god, of course. And who created god's god? God's god's god. And so on.

It does not work that way. In the mean time, scientists and mathematicians were created by Satan.

I think all this redundancy eliminates both possibilities: that of simulation, and that of god.
Then again, if you accept chaos or randomness, that in itself implies something unending. I guess you can't escape something unending as the source of all things that appear on the face of it to be finite, no matter how you frame it.

it neither eliminates the possibility of simulation nor god, it's just that thinking about it is pointless
in fact there is something kinda creepy lurking in this fact, can you find it and tell me what it is?

>You thinking about [blank] is pointless
Well, your whole fucking LIFE is pointless. How about THAT? Nobody thinks about THAT. They think their retarded little lives are fucking sacred. But they are no more elevated than even the most retarded retard's brain fart. There is no RIGHT to live. You have no RIGHT to express yourself. This is all agreed between people, so long as each of them believes it. But belief is UNIVERSALLY FALSE. Whatever you believe is FALSE.
