um. look to reprogram this shit.

Wouldn’t make a difference. The only part that could change my actions would be what hapoens obce it ends. But simulation or no I’m stuck here for however many years and have to make the best of it.

Make coffee.

Jack off and do fuck all???

Doesn’t change much, at least I know I only live once and afterlife is fake

Simulation meaning the universe and everything in it is simulated, including myself? Or like I’m jacked into a simulation Matrix-style?

The former means there’s nothing to do about it. The latter means what I do here is largely irrelevant.

Big difference in response.

Commit 34 felonies and run for president

Remember that I’m a nihilist and shrug my shoulders.

Then start to think about how everyone else is going to react and how I’ll need to plan for that.

It wouldn’t change anything because this is the reality we have. I wouldn’t suddenly become immoral because there are still consequences and even if some people or even everyone but me is not real, they will still react as though they have emotions. If I hurt my wife, she would still cry. If I did something bad enough, she might divorce me. Take half my stuff. Lose some access to my kids. Those are all real consequences even if the people are simulated.

Maybe I’d be less concerned for people not immediately around me because any good simulation wouldn’t actually sim everything out of range, so there wouldn’t e.g. be Palestinians starving to death if no one “real” was there.

I suppose it would re-open the question of existence beyond death, but I don’t think I would ultimately come to a different conclusion—there is no reason to think this experience would continue past my own death, and if I were memory-wiped and re-inserted it wouldn’t really be the same me anyway, right?

If it were matrix-style there is a reality out there to experience if I can leave the simulation, I’d have some hard thinking to do about whether that would be likely to be a better existence than the one I’m having here.

Have you heard of Roko’s Basilisk? Basically, if we were in a simulation, it’s best not to acknowledge it

I’d give the sky the finger and then spend too much time wondering what perspective we’re even being viewed from.

I’d also probably start a diary, except every entry would be: “Fuck you people for creating a world like this. Do you enjoy the suffering of countless people? Turns out God really is a prick.”

Nothing changes does it?

Also I’m not sure if I’d me more or less scared of death. If this is a simulation, to escape reality, I can’t imagine how terrible reality would really be.

But in the end it doesn’t even matter

The Thirteenth Floor is a truly under appreciated gem of a movie, FYI
