Is our universe real?

[MonicaWills]

This is a very classic question. "In order to pursue the truth, one must doubt everything as much as possible, even a dogma like "God exists", doubting it will not produce ideological contradictions", this is Cartesian doubt. Essentially the question is: how do humans know that what we see is not a luxurious illusion but real? Is there some great unseen force controlling us? In recent years this question has been reformulated as the "brain in a bucket" problem, or "simulation argument". These two conjectures are simply that humans are the product of a carefully arranged simulated environment. I believe that many people have thought about this question in their childhood and adolescence. But this question will lead to deeper thinking-is human civilization part of this simulation? Including what we think in our hearts now, do our logical thinking values all come from the counterattack of supercomputers? Plus, we might not be who we think we are. Assuming that the people who run the entire simulated environment are also involved, then any one of us may be the leader behind the scenes, which means that our current identity is temporary and temporarily suppressed, and the purpose Just to enhance the realism of the simulated environment.

This philosophical riddle also requires us to rethink our definition of "truth." The view of Modal realists is that since the universe seems reasonable to humans (compared to the illogical, incoherent nature of our dreams, and the "real universe" has physical laws), then we have nothing but There is no alternative to thinking that the world is real.

It's not possible to know, it's a choice we all must make.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't change anything, there is no functional difference between reality and an illusion indistinguishable from reality.

As it is impossible to know one way or the other the only rational course of action is to proceed as though it were real, there is nothing lost in doing so and nothing gained by considering it to be an illusion.

well said.

The conversation you had a day and a half ago with the two terminated accounts... there was mention of psyops and spiritual delusion bullshit philosophies...

A lot of what the asker wrote makes sense, but we must be careful with "redefining the truth"...

Citation needed.

Such a thread exists but there are no 'terminated accounts' which I interacted with, so I don't appreciate whatever the fucking hell this is supposed to be.

If you are going to talk a lot of bullshit could you do it somewhere else?

No I was frozen and I couldn't reply to you, then I wrote a message to the admins which they booted me for with no warning.

The first video linked there about occult symbolism including 911 was directed to you, but the second one was showing how I first got to know mark passio and not necessarily something you would benefit from. However as you see there are situations where people are trapped in the right brain hemisphere and fall down the religious and philosophical mind control psyops (not saying the asker is exactly there) but "truth" is a dirty word to many uber-spiritual zombies.

@PraviteliNahuiValite Oh you were terminated, yes I see now.

This is the thread

How would you feel if you were the "spare" kid? ↗

Everyone has got their own perspective, their own 'truth' and it colours everything they believe whether that is grounded in science or if it is away with the fairies.

This is why it is important to get information from multiple sources, by doing this you get a feel for a subject and can see where the common ground is and where some people are deviating down their own perspectives.

It is 100% real, even if it exists as your imagination, because imagination also needs to exist somewhere, right?

Thinking that the universe is matrix leads to insanity, didn't pain you feel is real enough?

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

There is some weird shit like the mandela effect which is real as fuck. Don't ask me for video evidence until tomorrow though, I'm still level 2 and can't post links.

We are living in a simulation of a simulation of a simulation of the real world. And we are on the verge of creating our own simulation.

Does it matter

[AngryCarl2]

I'm not even sure if you're real.

[MonicaWills]

what are you saying?

[AngryCarl2]

Descartes said "I think, therefore I am." He never said "You think, therefore you are."
