Oxford Professor says we live in a computer.

I just had to go and read that ****ing ****. Now the meaning of my life, my purpose, and my plans to help humanity all feel so pointless now.

This is the very reason I chose not to watch him on Keith Olberman the other day.

I'm just going to go to sleep and try not to remember reading it. But then I'll remember it tomorrow when I visit the hype and see it.

Oh well.

I am the One, and my name is McLovin.

 

[Catman]

I thought we lived in a bag of marbles?

[YT]1QPll-TKaEE[/YT]

no, fool we live in a locker in a train station

which are part of the marbles.

 

[Drakon]

Bull****. We ALL live in a Yellow Submarine.

A Yellow Submarine........

A Yellow Submarine.

I think the fact that we have not all been deleted from the "simulation" for reading the suggestion we may be in one is proof that we aren't.

Or it could mean a few other things...

1) that they stopped paying attention long ago and forgot to "exit program"
2) that they left for a break
3) or that programs becoming self-aware is the goal

I call dibs on the name Neo.

It is actually possible,ever since the Matrix came out..some people think that De Jevu` is actually a glitch in the computer..

 

[Mr. Credible]

well, i won't argue with the guy... i don't see how it's impossible.

if anyone here (or anywhere) can disprove it, i'd be glad to listen.

 

[Mr. Credible]

i mean, it's just as plausible, if not more, than "some guy (GOD) put us here... and that's that."

just because some idea was made so many thousands of years ago, doesn't make it more believable... it actualy makes it less, considering how stupid people were in that time.

*rocks back and forth*
Actually, my friend once had a serious problem with this. After watching The Matrix, he didn't see any point in living, and felt he was part of a computer system...

 

[Symbiotic]

I am not in The Matrix.

 

[Mr. Credible]

Or say that while you were playing The Sims, one of them kept staring at you and then held up a sign that said "We're on to you. We know what you're doing to us"

i was tripping acid the first time i beat metal gear solid 2... and the colonel and rose kept telling me "you need to turn the game off, you'll ruin your eyes sitting so close to the tv set" and "the north korean silk worm does hari-kiri with the scissors!" and all that messed up junk.

i think i might have lost my mind a little bit that night. that was like, the worst trip i ever had... and i think the last.

 

[Addendum]

So I guess that explains some of the weird stuff in the Metal Gear games, they were tripping on acid when they made it

 

[Ice-man]

this just makes my theory even more plausible, my theory was more of were a failed experiment, either in an ant farm like habitat or we are micro organisms living under a microscope. or where encased in a giant spherical tv screen and what we see such as weather clouds space and sky are all projected.

when i am high i have many a thought like this, some just seem more likely than others, but it is cool when i think about this because who knows, what if all history or all memories are just imprinted in out brains.



i have weird thoughts, but seeing as this guy has had similar thoughts maybe my thought arnt so weired.

 

[Mike_D202]

Has anybody seen "Vanilla Sky"? Maybe we're all living in someone else's lucid dream!

"hello mr. anderson"

[Mr. Credible]

i have yet to see a "religious" poster come in here and say that this is all ******ed... without any kind of proof.


i don't know if that makes me happy, or sad.

Wow, the guy that wrote:

Until I talked to Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University, it never occurred to me that our universe might be somebody else’s hobby. I hadn’t imagined that the omniscient, omnipotent creator of the heavens and earth could be an advanced version of a guy who spends his weekends building model railroads or overseeing video-game worlds like the Sims.

That guy's pretty feeble-minded and lacks a boatload of imagination as that scenario occurs to, like, everybody over the course of their lives....most notably high school stoners and really, really crappy Sci-Fi writers.

all we need now is to find the Oracle and the key maker.
