Cocaine is a helluva drug.

No thanks. Have you seen how shitty everyone's lives were outside the matrix

Not sure how Trump will slip this into theTown Hall Sunday but it will be fun to watch.

It doesnt explain anything as far as God goes. Someone would still have to create the software, it doesnt just make itself.

It takes away from how awesome God is, with the whole "let's add some code for child cancer" thing.

According to Nietzsche, no.
According to Kant, kinda.

if you watch those shows on History channel about Aliens, the claim by ancients, by their writings/wall paintings was that Aliens put us here.
They were testing a species, and wanted to study it, like the truman show.

But who put the aliens there? You aren't thinking big picture
Either someone or something had to create the aliens. Same thing goes for the matrix.

I think you're missing the bigger picture. If this universe is a simulation then all of its laws must be programmed by its creator, if there is a more real universe outside of it then there's no reason to think that it obeys the same laws. All of our laws of nature (and even causality) could be arbitrary, so this chicken and egg argument is moot.
You can't apply known logic to an unknowable realm.

Not necessarily. If we're living in some sort of simulation or matrix, then none of our science, laws of physics, etc. mean anything. Outside of our simulation/matrix, how do you know the aliens didn't just come from nothing?

Beat you to it!!

Yes you did, I was about to edit to reflect as much
Posted on 10/6/16 at 4:29 pm to LucasP
No you didn't. You contradicted yourself by admitting that there would need to be a creator in the case of virtual reality.

No, what I said was our idea of causality is based on the universe that we know. There's no reason that something has to come from something else in a universe that runs on different laws.

Why does there have to be a creator if we are living in a simulation? Again, that means what we know as science means nothing
