Will we ever know if we are in a "true life" simulation machine? Maybe Heisenberg's cat box proofed that the machinations are unknowable

No way to know. It's not testable as far as I know.
Perhaps if we can break physical laws and crash the server, we'll either know or die.

This simulation is pretty low tech. 99.9999% of the environment around us is empty space. People are given bad vision to save memory with low resolution rendering. Whatever goal a simulation like this would have it could clearly be better.

Yes, goy. We are living in a simulation. Your consciousness is merely software running on the computer. Everything is an illusion, anyway, so why not just step into the sui...uhh...mind-uploading pod and your eternal afterlife in virtual heaven? All the cool kids are doing it. Look, all your friends are there, and you know they're real because they're passing the Turing test!

If we live in a simulation, this implies that we should care less about others and care more about being interesting and entertaining to the Creator. Terry Davis was unironically right when he said that the purpose of life is to entertain Mr. God.

>If you might be living in a simulation then all else equal you should care less about others, live more for today, make your world look more likely to become rich, expect to and try more to participate in pivotal events, be more entertaining and praiseworthy, and keep the famous people around you happier and more interested in you.

Reality being a simulation might explain the Fermi Paradox. Civilizations might get deleted when they get too advanced and use up too much computational power.

https://www.unz.com/akarlin/katechon/

>A corollary of the Simulation Argument is that the universe’s computational capacity may be limited. Consequently, advanced alien civilizations may have incentives to avoid space colonization to avoid taking up too much “calculating space” and forcing a simulation shutdown. A possible solution to the Fermi Paradox is that analogous considerations may drive them to avoid broadcasting their presence to the cosmos, and to attempt to destroy or permanently cripple emerging civilizations on sight. This game-theoretical equilibrium could be interpreted as the “katechon” – that which withholds eschaton – doom, oblivion, the end of the world. The resulting state of mutually assured xenocide would result in a dark, seemingly empty universe intermittently populated by small, isolationist “hermit” civilizations.

that's terrible fucking advice, if you treat it like a game then you will be treated the in the same way. it's like thinking life is a toy to be played with, it's more like an inescapable abyss of circumstance and quantum bullshittery where the only thing that can hold you together is unconditional love (which is really a form of higher dimensional magnetism, love attracts and hate repulses). If you want to truly enjoy life then you need to open your heart and not care about shit like status or material since those are all TEMPORARY. The one thing your ass will keep after you die is how you grew spiritually and that's it. While death is not the end it's also wise not to focus on it, that's why the best characteristic one can ever have if "faith" meaning you trust your instincts and hope God puts you on the right path. Life isn't meant to be "fun" and anyone who says that is probably some loner autist who equates living to having hundreds of games on their steam library when they haven't played 40% of them. Life is a self-consuming force of infinite suffering please tell me how that's supposed to be fun. And God doesn't want you to entertain him either he doesn't have an identity for you to entertain since he is the only truly selfless being in this godforsaken universe. The demiurge is an abomination and literature always equates it to Satan or Father Time. While existence is not evil it's full of infinite suffering and pain and all life lives to consume other lives in order to be fulfilled. Eat or be eaten.

There is no "computational power" you braindead retards. Reality is an infinite fractal and it's something no computer could "simulate". It all exists within the ontological zero aka the void so truly nothing exists it's all mind.
>As the term “reality” is undefined beyond this hypothetical relationship, the Simulation Hypothesis is indifferent to the details, e.g., where the host system is located, how the host system works, who or what created and/or controls the host system, and in what respects the simulation resembles the higher reality containing it. But in any case, there must be an ultimate all-inclusive reality or “ontic ground state” that contains and supports whatever reality-simulations may exist, and it is natural to ask whether some aspects of the simulation concept may apply to it. The Reality Self-Simulation Principle states that ultimate reality is itself a natural reflexive self-simulation in which all intelligible levels of reality must exist whether simulated or not.

retarded autist doesn't understand what having an ego is. normies seem fake because the ego works like an automaton, it reacts predictably to stimuli and helps for self-paced evolution. this is why most people seem like NPC's, they let their brain handle most of the deterministic bullshit so they always react typically in stressful situations due to hardcoded instinct and epigenetic knowledge. autists on the other hand usually have fragile egos or are born robotic at birth so they can't conceive what having a real identity is besides being a hooman. this is why autists can't react well in social situations because they lack the id or animal instinct so they always "overthink" every situation instead of letting their body handle, if I understand Jungian psychology correctly. I hate how first worlders started the meme that the ego is a bad thing when the reason we have it has a perfectly logical purpose, it reduces effort in favor of practicality which is perfectly fine. Ego death is only really necessary to remove disillusion about things you once thought was "good" for you are actually "bad" specific to your being. no human being is right in this world but we can at least get closer to the truth.
