Elon Musk says we're probably living in a simulation

At least he may be!
"Why would you make a simulation that's boring?
This from the same interview when he was doing his Cheech and Chong thing.

"I think most likely — this is just about probability — there are many, many simulations," he added. "You might as well call them reality, or you could call them multiverse."

Am individual calculation in a complex model may seem boring... but taken at the whole, glorious

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
That's deeeeeep!
Intense!!!!!!
Cooooooooooool!!!!!!

I can understand. Anything in our life is there because we did something. I also smoke a lot, so probably explains it too.
I just find it harder & harder to believe in the God that we do. I know I can choose any faith, but I'm just happy that I'm here. I hope I do find out about my Creator & Purpose after I pass.

One way to tell...
If this seems like a stupid idea for an ad campaign, it’s either real life or a simulation using more than minimal CPU.

No stems, no seeds, that you don't need.....

He’s been saying that for years

As long as he can build me hyper loops I don’t care what he thinks

He discussed this specifically...whatever created the simulation has an existence more boring than the simulation. Any simulation we create will in turn be more interesting than our simulation and so on. We don’t have perspective on our own simulation.

I listened to the entire podcast and in context he didn’t say anything crazy.
I wanted Joe to get Elon as high as a kite and then put him in the float chamber.
When Elon came out, we’d have these in 5 years:

Oddly enough, the simulation theory potentially solves a lot of the universes most challenging questions.

Elon Musk like many smart experts who haven't taken the time to understand philosophy is out of his domain on this one.
The multiverse theory is so far from being real science and is so logically incoherent that it isn't taken seriously by most philosophers schooled in origins, including agnostics. It's also not scientifically testable in any sense, failing the very claim of a being the scientific perspective.
The infinite number of multiverses theory was a way to try to explain away the beginning of the universe, which is a big problem for atheists (not as much for agnostics - who take the shrugged shoulders approach to life).
The earlier poster who was making a silly caricature of the Christian God doesn't understand the God of the Bible. That God was never defined in the Bible as being "in the clouds".
At the end of the day you have to come to grips with our existence. We are here, and we implicitly understand that the world and our universe had a beginning. How did matter, energy and time itself come to be? What creature can make the laws of the universe itself? How limitless is the power of this being?

He believes in the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
quote:
The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics holds that there are many worlds which exist in parallel at the same space and time as our own. The existence of the other worlds makes it possible to remove randomness and action at a distance from quantum theory and thus from all physics.

Elon Musk is probably full of shite.

Think about this
Every atom that makes up your body is part of the universe
So the universe is now aware of its own existence
What are the odds that the universe would 1) spring into existence by itself, and 2) develop self awareness by itself?
It just strikes me as so implausible

Believing we may be in a simulation has more to do with physics than weed. Look up conservation of information and black holes.

Was this after he took a doobie drag on Pardon My Take?
