One of the key points that emerges from this research is that we are all living in a simulation. It is not the half-trendy metaphysical notion that the universe is a simulation like The Matrix. The simulation is synthesized by our own brains and everything that we think and do takes place in that internal simulation.
This all reminds me of a very vivid dream I once had. In the dream I claim a computational universe provides the best explanation or could explain all behavior of matter to some demon who has very large horns and is a giant! The demon then says, so if the universe is a simulation then there is a God. Where I replay "No". A computational universe could come about through chaos where it converges to a system that can produce our reality. And the chaos could converge on any number of realities. The demon then looks at me with this smile and then asks; "How does that prove there is no God, infact how can you prove what doesn't exist at all!" I respond with the notion of God from ancient religious text describes a system with parts; God has memory, god can serialize thoughts into words that people can hear, God is all-powerful and all-knowing. So, while I can't prove something doesn't exist I can find flaws in how a God is described and use that to demonstrate what is being described would have problems. Since god is composed of parts it is a product or emergence of the physics that allow God to be God! The demon shakes his head and says: "But that's your physics as to why he can't do that." Where I state: "All realities possible have one thing in common and that is they are a form of information. The rules might change but the fact for something to be real it must be a form of information irregardless of the rules of a system or reality. So your god is still a product of those rules and suffers from ignorance since it would be impossible to monitor all states of a system because that will lead to a problem infinite resources to do so. Suddenly a Buddha or Bodhisattva appears and as it speaks I recognize that it is my undergrad eastern philosophy professor and she says: "It's an illusion and everything comes from nothing!" Where I then ask "if everything comes from nothing we can't things just appear for no good reason at all"? The professor answers that's just the way it is. I then respond and state but if things just can't pop into existence then what holds them back? It's illogical that the nothing you speak of has rules where it will only allow certain things like a universe to come into existence. If nothing has rules then it is really something!" My professor responds with "Conjecture" What your mind thinks is incapable of comprehending Nirvana. Where I then respond with: "Conjecture, isn't nothing also a conjecture?" My professor then says: No, all thoughts are based on experience, al la Descartes, since no one has seen nothing it must be some higher level notion that is beyond our physical existence! Then I respond with: "OK...But there is a flaw in that thinking. Our brains have the ability to find the compliment(Opposite) of a term, it's actually a computation, even a computer can do it! So nothing can be derived from the idea of something, you simply "not" the term. So Buddha's nothing is no different than any other conjecture of our brains!
I then see Krishna and some very colorful decor swirling around. I then laugh at the Hindu story of how the universe was created. Where then Krishna says: "Ah...that's the part they didn't get. You see no one knows how it all really started or how it all really works. We can develop an understanding but we reach a bottom where there is no means to sense or measure the stuff of reality. Mother nature doesn't have to show us anything! You ultimately left with your imagination as to what you think it might be. So a guy making the universe and people because he's lonely is as good as a computational universe because you'll never be able to verify it." I respond and ask: "so I'm right you're aliens". Here's where then things get weird. I feel these strange emotions, almost like listening to music. I then see this hierarchy of layers each represents a simulation as a simulation within a simulation. Where one creature or demon says: "This simulation has been around for soo long and we have literally lived what you would call an eternity. We lived so long and done just about everything that to keep our interests in living we create simulations of life where we don't know anything, literally complete amnesia, its better that way. When its all over you will laugh so hard, all the problems all the suffering, all the success, all the failures become one big joke." The dream then changes to where I'm in my bedroom and I can feel those emotions again then I get this image of Tom Curse in that movie Vanilla Sky and then remember a statement I made to a friend: "What if we're the smartest "F__ks in the universe and this is just the begining of our lives?". I then see this fuzzy black and white image of a man and he says: "You're wired dude, no worries" I then see these kinds of dark blue humanoid beings and when you look closely at their skin you can see stars. They then say: "Oh this is an improvement before they would think of us as demons or witches and devils!"
There's more but I'll stop here...
