Are we living in a Matrix Simulation? Why should we doubt our reality?

Have you ever found yourself questioning reality? Have you ever wondered if everything around you, your whole life, is a Matrix Simulation?

People have asked this question for centuries. The Matrix paradox was formulated by a Greek philosopher thousands of years before the release of Wachowski’s film.

In this video, we’ll break down the main arguments, theories and hypotheses from throughout the years.

We invite you to join us on this complex and mind-bending journey.

But be careful! The following video may destroy your trust in the reality of the world around you and bring you psychological discomfort

Guys, here is the question… are we all plugged into the Matrix

If we live in a simulation, I want to talk to the manager. I’m deeply dissatisfied…

For me, I always like to think logically and dismiss any outlandish claims. Having said that this theory is compelling. My dad always used to give me philosophical questions when I was younger. The main one I remember was: ‘how do you know you are not dreaming now?’

You cannot prove you are asleep in a dream. Like you cannot prove you are awake when you are ‘alive’.

There is no unequivocal proof of either. We could be in a dream of a dream of somebody’s else’s mind.

We cannot prove our existence 100%.

The “reason” everyone misses to argue for advanced civilizations running simulations has nothing to do with seeing the past or entertainment…it’s to see THE FUTURE. Their future. Think about it. If you can create an accurate simulation it doesn’t have to run in real time. You could simulate history up to your time in fast forward and then let it continue to run forward to see what might happen. You could do that hundreds of thousands of times. Mining the future for technology and medical advances. Learning what to do and perhaps more importantly what not to do. That’s the compelling reason they’d do it. It’s the compelling reason I’d do it.

Had a near death experience, and I basically got the video game reset screen . It was a strange place, I was talking to a woman dressed in roabs, told me I can go with her or stay here, but staying here would be a painfully struggle . It may have been my brain just running out of oxygen, or I had a nice little chat with the Reaper.

One day, after a deep dive on this topic, I was driving and spoke directly to "the matrix", kinda called it out for its bullshit. Right after that, stopped at a red light, a random yellow butterfly came out of the woods and flew a complete circle around my car, just mine, and flew away. A few minutes later, I completely spontaneously stopped at this very old looking store for vape stuff that had a very old sign saying "Beer and Vape Shop" or something. The inside of the store wasn't finished, idk, not rendered entirely, I swear. The store and everything in it was old and dated looking but half of it was nearly empty. The shelves only had a select random lot of old looking things on them and the coolers were nearly empty, no beer, just some random sports drinks...and then there was the shopkeep. I've never met a person that made me feel more like I was in a video game. He stood and stared at me, looking uneasy like "uh oh, the jig is up" and idk but the entire encounter was bizarre af....especially how the front of the store was like someone copy and pasted a brand new vape shop interior into the old ass room and there was a stereotypical slot machine room with "people" playing in there like I've seen in a million stores here. I feel crazy talking about this lol

The old Sumsub gave me information and instruction with practical applications. This is like an episode of 60 minutes, entertainment but not much else.

[acool]

Chances are high that we live in a simulation but it’s not like anything we comprehend as simulation but only the closest term to describe the only reality we know. It is our reality for all practical purposes as we have no other frame of reference.

I remember having this dream that felt like real. I was being dragged in some kind of coffin, levitating among huge stacks of servers that looked like they were designed by HR Giger. But I didnt feel fear, I felt boredom. Crushing feeling of being bored that I felt in every cell of my bosy. I woke up so tired that I'd gladly return to sleep, but then fear kicked in - I didn't want to go back to that place. It was one of the strangest expierences of my life because of how it combined me being in totally new place for the first time and feeling bored as if eons were passing with every second

I have watched all videos of you channel. It's bewildering why there are so less views. It is indeed high quality stuff.

I have said this in other forums. The big bang happened when the switch to the computer was turned on. Parallel universes are the others in the same class working on their programs. Portals, wormholes and such are ways of introducing new programs or maybe others hacking into our program. From big bang to mankind took six days to create, one hell of a software writer! How do you create something from nothing? I am sitting here doing it now.

I miss the old chap that used to sit on his chair with awesome decor, this feels like.. I dunno .. not as catchy that made me sub in the first place

My PhD is about reverse engineering the human to develop immersive interactions and visualisations.

I'm writing a book about this, in video games we call it sub sampling. Level of detail systems are essential for VR to run on our machines, we have so many systems developed to trick us into perceiving reality. When in fact things are low poly or only rendered when in focus.

I suspect this is a new way of approaching the simulation theory as I make direct associations and relations with the systems we use to simulate our games. You can see why the argument can be made even more when you understand just how much you can get away with on a computer system.

Currently if you don't buy simulation theory ( I don't) then you should consider we are biological robots created by the simulation of the natural universe. Computation doesn't have to arise from digital means. Biology is very much possible.

My main issue with this is that even at our current level of awareness, it still isn't even close to enough power to be worth anything other than basic functions, which even an advanced technological society would have no use for. It's a very small piece of an artwork of which a couple of exciting colors exist among many others that cannot be seen other than zooming out or not being apart of the biological limitations of even the brain.

As nature continues to optimize and reevaluate potentials, it would make more sense that it is a long way off from achieving something more optimal through evolution, but there also cannot be an end point. It will just continue doing this until awareness has reached a level of unity and oneness with all, and then spurring a point where it will remain stuck in all oneness until it fades out if there are no further bodies to inhabit or become aware of.

The reason why we create simulations (other than for entertainment) are usually to test out theories or answer questions about potential outcomes. For example, we test out structural stability during earthquakes by building miniatures and then shaking them to see what happens. If our reality is a simulation, it would make sense that there are many others running simultaneously in order to maximize the test. Perhaps we are trying to figure out a better way to survive some future calamity or survive our own destructive human nature. Who knows how long the simulation has been running, because our collective memory could just be part of the built-in framework of the program. We could have just been turned on yesterday. I wonder what the test is trying to answer. If we knew, would that help us answer it or would it break the simulation.

[bryannamyo]

What if the simulation was biological and chemical in nature as opposed to digital? This would be harder to argue against.

[weirdaroundillinois]

Great in-depth discussion of a fascinating topic. I think we've all felt this at some point in our lives, maybe even hoped for it at times. The beauty of the theory is that there's really no way to prove it or disprove it conclusively.

[blacksteedofdeath]

if it's a simulation, i don't get it, why does my life suck? why simulate a life that sucks. what player would want to play my character? none. keeps bringing me back to the why

[celilmehmedcelil]

It's incredible how many important topics are explored in such a short time in this video. This should be a mandatory video to watch for every individual on earth.

[delaney]

Does anyone else freak out about the true nature of existence and really grasp the fear of it or is it just me?
