So we are a program that is after learning the source code (DNA) of the program that programs us to behave according to the program?
If this happened to our computer, we would call that virus or infinite loop and either force shutdown or format.
Someone ask those who are out their to decipher the source code to stop, otherwise, we will be formatted from the face of the earth!
Interesting read! Thank you!

Maybe that is where some foresee mankind heading: self-extinction, whether through Mother Earth's backlashes against our abuse of her, nuclear holocaust, AI apocalypse, or otherwise.
Or maybe the program doesn't program us to behave... maybe the program has juat been set in motion, with the opportunity to increase access levels to where we can reprogram...
If were the case, perhaps those attempting to decipher the code might be after what's needed to rewrite the code that's had us on the path towards self-destruction.
Or, none of these could be truthful. Or they all could. Could potentially go any number of ways - depending on what the program is set for and how it gets recoded... :-)

I have always enjoyed this subject, but there is one big flaw in the idea that we are living in a simulation. If we are, then who is running that simulation? And if you can generate such an accurate simulation, what is to say that our simulation runners, aren't a simulation themselves? You start down this infinite regression where you never know who is running any simulations. It is therefore more likely that we are in the base reality rather than not. Also, as you go up the chain, you start to run in to computational issues. Even if you have incredible computers, at some point, they will not be able to keep up. You should see gaps or glitches, and since all of our experiments have been very predictable , it is likely we are in base reality.
Good read though. Thank you.

I agree with you point theoretically, and I too struggle with the question of who or what maintains the simulation. I don't, however, view this as a reasonable criticism of the theory in itself. Just because we cannot fathom the origins of the simulated reality doesn't change the statistical argument that this is, in fact, a simulation.
On the other hand, it's so far removed that our notion of computing power might not even apply to the real base reality. Our notion of physics might not even apply.

Very true and good points. Sure I might be a brain in a vat, or a simulation, but I still believe my experience and will continue to live my life as if we are in the base reality.

When you consider the likes of "Grand Theft Auto" , how do we REALLY know any different... I spent a lot of time pondering this! For instance, what we imagine solid to be solid could well be just that we are programmed to believe this is so. Talk about mind warping :) .The real scary thing is though is who is controlling the computer :)
Thank you for the article! Got me thinking again !

Your welcome. Mission accomplished. :-)
I'd say, why fear at all? Let's say nobody. And there is no computer. Perhaps our computers have merely been a physical projection of the same type of design of the universe - it's just the structure and fabric or reality itself, governed by laws of mathematics and physics.
Perhaps there is no one "in control", per se - it's all just a program set in motion, unfolding according to code.
Or, we are - to the degree we unlock increasing levels of access to rewrite the code. ;-)

Sounds like the matrix all over again. I guess the only way to answer whether what we're looking at right now is real is to go to the spirit world (assuming in your mind that it exist). It's questions like these that forces you to ask more questions until you get to the bottom of things.

I think this theory carries more weight when the idea that some higher intelligence created the simulation. If it's a simulation at all, what's to say it had to be created?

This is all based on a false underlying assumption which is that reality is digital.

Though if one were to look at it from the angle that digital is merely a representation of analog, could not parts of the system dynamics be just as equally applicable if analog?
I can't speak for the theory as others have proposed/discussed it, though there was no such assumption in my own take...

Nice! I explore this probably from a different angle in my book City of a Million Dots. The basic premise being a father trying to remove the epigenetic programming from his son by hijacking his movements and actions and then committing his son's suicide causing a blip in the epigenetic programme... his other son, to another mother, is taking it further - his mother committed suicide in front of him to break the link to his father and this son, Neon, is not content to take out the epigenetic code he wants to go all the way back to genetic code, achieving the ultimate freedom of choice. Of course Genetic coders don't want freedom of choice, they want a bug world, obedience to the species... makes for one hell of a mess.
Not sure if you have read Philip K Dick he explores multiply realities in many of his books. As Terry Gilliam said:
"'For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplication realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first."

this theory uses thinking to build a materialistic conception of the world, so uses thinking, that is an originary phenomenon, to say that the originary phenomenon is something material, that creates thinking.
It's like the "brain in a vat" theory: this theory exists thank to thinking as a spiritual activity, founded in itself: because even if we are not brains in a vat we can think that we are. It uses thinking to negate that thinking is a spiritual activity.
This is the power of thinking: it has also the power to negate itself!

I would overlay this with the idea I've encountered that time is merely an unpacking and unfolding of all of the above into bits we can process more easily. It's at this point I usually reach for a beer.

lately I have been pondering the same questions..simulation..hmmm, I still breathe, I still get hungry, I still have to go to the bathroom, I still feel pain, I feel a whole range of emotions..could this be possible in a simulation? Actually, does it really matter? I am active player in this so called game of life and I would not want to miss on second of it. Thanks for the post.

actually in terms of the "life" simulation, it could be from the starting point of a single cell organism, or maybe even earlier, which i don't have the vocabulary to describe. it's kinda like how AI starts with almost nothing, then slowly figures things out, and with an accelerating "upgrade" speed, optimizes its "purpose"...
is that why we humans sometimes like to question the "purpose" of our lives too? like an AI?? I always feel that humans are the AIs of the "living species", then now we are creating AIs (sort of) modeled after ourselves, like an endless Mobius Strip.

I've read something like this. The rabbit hole goes deep in this Theory. Just like the hollow earth and flat earth theories. I think we would. Be living in a simulation if humans were actually A.I which i don't think we are. Elon musk wants to plug a neuro lance in our brains which would make us transhumanism and our reality will be a simulation from that point on.

I wrote an article thinking about some of this, and I've got one cooking, too. My take is a bit further afield, only looking upwards, that it's not just that we're a program or our DNA is a hard drive per se, but rather that it's turtles the whole way up. We're as real as can be, as a daydream by something omnipotent, which itself is being dreamt up and so on. But maybe I'm a little Hindu.

Upvoted. 😀 What an interesting article. My husband and i have pondered the likelihood of this scenario and have had stimulating conversations on the possibility of living in someone else's (or something) simulation. Where is the beginning and where is the end? is this why some religions believe in reincarnation? Do we recycle back into the simulation once the current one ends? Definitely an interesting subject! Thanks for posting.

I’d like to think that the ‘access codes’ (to crack open the possibilities for perceiving it) you’re talking about is something we can hand ourselves via genome self-editing. Only then will we have an idea what to do with our enhanced perception of reality. For know, man fumbles onward on guesswork for a crutch, though it’s surely uplifting that many of us have evolved beyond beliefs in the sky daddy and other such nonsense that smells of hay and dung too much to be the answer.

genome self-editing might be one tool in the box. however, there are many ways to skin a cat.
the lab route may be effective in some circumstances. though, given what epigenetics has been proving about thought alone affecting genetics, genetic coding may soon enough be as easily doable as consciously intending it alone. well, truth be, it already is - we just haven't exactly unveiled the process and taught it so it's common knowledge yet...
