How do we know we're not living in a simulation?

[Swagnificent]

There have been stories of people going under at the dentist and coming back speaking foreign languages and not being able to understand English. How the fukk does that happen

Obvious glitches in the Matrix. There is no logical or scientific explanation for it.

Also even wilder, you have kids who have memories of past lives. I can't remember the exact documentary but it was about some kid who was like 5-6 years old who could remember and articulate facts about a man's life that lived decades before he was born. Stuff that would be impossible for someone other than the person who lived that life could know.

If this reality is a simulation, it would make sense that sometimes the code of our consciousness would mess up.

They are most likely liars.

Liars in what sense? Because there are nurses and doctors who have confirmed seeing patients wake up from head trauma speaking only a foreign language. Then their family members come and say they never knew the person ever spoke another language. Also the person speaking the foreign language doesn't know they're speaking another language until they are told.

Are you claiming the person waking up from the head trauma is lying? That they somehow learned a foreign language in secret and then after sustaining a serious concussion and coma that when they wake up the first thing that comes to their mind is to troll their loved ones and family members?

I simply don't see how they could be lying. Also many times this has happened to young kids like the one in the video I posted. This would be too elaborate of a hoax for such a young child to pull off.

This is the stupidest Coli post of today

Nick Bostrom is a professor of Philosophy at Oxford University.

Pretty bold move to say someone with his pedigree is stupid.

All of the above. If phenomena like this happened it would be more widely studied.

The question I've always asked is what's outside of space.

Does it stretch endlessly from top to bottom, one end to the other?

Doesn't make sense. It has to be an "out" somewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if we were in a simulation.

Who said it hasn't been studied?

Scientists simply have no explanation.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

that's a broad idea to gain from such a minor occurrence.

This changes how we learn language. At this point we are just putting meaning to sounds. What does that mean if you just wake up speaking another language perfectly.
I would be impressed if it happened to a deaf person.

Cause we're not

Where's the fukcing computer sitting that's generating the simulation?

In a real room somewhere, right?

So there has to be a real world at some level

What makes you think THIS is not it?

Stop playing video games Breh

This is your problem. You are trying to find a logical explanation. There is none. There are certain things that happen in this world for which there is no logical explanation.

This is why we call events like this "glitches in the Matrix". Because there is no rational explanation for how someone can speak a language they never learned after suffering from a coma.

Naw there is we just don't know how it was done. We cracked the code to flying we can do anything.

The evidence of our world being a simulation are the "glitches" we have detected in terms of unexplained phenomena AND the implications brought forth by quantum mechanics. Also the fact technology is always progressing and if simulated worlds like ours are possible in our future, what is to say they haven't happened before and that we are currently in a simulation (this is the Elon Musk argument).

Language is just sounds we put together in some order and give meaning to. Someone can't arbitrarily learn a known language with all its intricacies because they got a coma. There is a reason all the scientific publications that have examined this topic have no explanation. Or better yet can't even think of a theory to explain it.

The only explanation is a glitch in the Matrix.

 

[TransJenner]

We are in a simulation

But don't listen to those who say waking up speaking a different language is a "glitch"





Y'all gotta get your facts straight before adding in your 2 cents

You have a hard time with direct questions

Here's the list of questions. If you don't want to answer them then go quote somebody else

Is there a real world on some level? Meaning: even of this is not the real world, there has to be one somewhere where the computer is, right?

So just "yes" or "no"... Is there a real world?

If so, who made the computer? This is open ended. The real humans? G-d? Aliens? Other dimensional beings?

Who made the simulation? (A few words are enough for this answer)

The next one is more of a statement. If there IS a real world SOMEWHERE... you can't assume that this isn't it.

All your reasons for thinking this are nothing close to evidence. So given the actual world we can see, we have to assume this is the real world

CAUSE THE ONLY EVIDENCE CONTRARY TO THAT STATEMENT IS IN YOUR IMAGINATION

It's good to be skeptical and free thinking but pure skepticism without any guiding principle or any way to know what's true (or at least likely) is useless.

You will never ever get beyond step 1 with anything cause you think your imaginary stuff is just as real as real stuff. You're stuck on confused just spinning around and around.
