I don't know much about this shit but I had an idea and i'd like to know if it would be possible.
this is more of a showerthought than a real idea though.
Couldn't you theoretically simulate a human mind inside a computer? There are even theories saying our reality is just a simulation.
if thats possible then couldn't the human mind, which is basically also just a computer, simulate another human mind?
And if that would be possible could characters you made up, like an imaginary friend, actually have some sort of consciousness?
this is a totally crazy idea and probably not possible, all my knowledge comes from stuff like vsauce videos so please it's probably completely idiotic but i just thought it could be possible.
