eat detail in your environment and your life and even your history and your memory but it's mostly fiction. Most of what you remember about your past is just a story that formed that isn't exactly much of a reproduction of the past. So your memories are mostly just fiction. Half of the things you do in politics are a fiction that you think is real. Like you live in this world where your brain is giving you a tight little story that has only a rough connection to what any kind of reality is. So your brain is already something that gives you the illusion of detail without actually being correct. Everybody okay so far? That your brain tells you there's detail but it's not really there. You just have a fictional movie in your head.

Now when you say there's no such thing as a computer that could be powerful enough to recreate what we experience as this full reality I say to you have you ever had a dream? If you've ever had a dream didn't it look pretty clear? My dreams are not fuzzy. The way I remember them is in full detail and when I'm having them I don't have too many dreams these days but when I did they'd be in full detail and it would be a complete world. So are you telling me that you can't build a computer that like aliens with the greatest technology they can't build a computer that my brain can do on its own while I'm asleep? I'm not even trying. Like without any effort at all I've created a detailed and complete world that was as good as real while I was asleep. So no it's not that hard to create a simulation as detailed. You just have to put some code in the people in the simulation that they see detail that isn't there. That's it.

So you put a character into your simulation. You say whenever you look around it will seem to you as complete and detailed and you will not notice it's pixelated. The real world we could be walking around looking like Legos you know Legos or Roblox if you know what Roblox is you know what I mean. We could be like squares of pixelated people walking around in jerky fashion but we have one line of code that says everything is smooth. That's it. That's all you need and you would imagine your life was smooth and detailed and you would be like a Lego person walking around like a robot. You just wouldn't know the difference.

All right that's the first thing. So there's definitely not any kind of resource limit to us being a simulation. But if we are a simulation here's what I think. I believe that you could prove that we are a simulation by identifying all of the coding shortcuts that a human programmer would make if a human were making a simulation. So if you see that our reality has all the same limits that a human programmer would have making a simulation that's a really strong signal that we are one. It's not a proof but it'd be a strong signal.

So what signals do we have? Number one if we're a simulation history would not exist. It would be created on demand which it is. I'm not going to get into the details but in the quantum physics world there are experiments they show that the history is created by what you're observing in the present. That's a fact and it doesn't make sense unless we're a simulation.

We can't get outside the edge of the universe. That's how you'd program it if it were a game. There's a maximum speed in our reality. Why is there a maximum speed? You ever think about that? Does that make sense that intuitively shouldn't there always be something that's faster than however fast you're going? Now it might be difficult to achieve the speed but why is it impossible? That sounds like a video game limit. So you can't run to the edge of the universe and see what's happening right?

How about most of the space in our reality is full of nothing because you wouldn't want to program every particle of the universe. You'd want the particles to be really far away but you know they act as if they're more cohesive. That's exactly what our universe is right? If you could look at your body from the subatomic level it would look li
