  • No it is proof that it is true because a system that does not have the data to create an experience cannot create the experience.

    I am 100% saying the body is a computer with sensory attachments I have no idea where you got the things about peripheral and central nervous system from.

    Nowhere am I claiming that we can’t have shared experiences in fact I have been telling you the opposite.

    What I am claiming is a quote coming from the researcher that made lucid dreaming well known from a lab setting, Stephen laberge.

    I am in no way saying the only experience we have as individuals is only our own, since detecting outside information with sensory organs means we are detecting information outside of us which is coming from other people or objects for example.

    I think what this is suggesting in its furthest extent is that what makes us function is far from being understood and that the reality is something we aren’t capable of understanding because it exists outside of our set of sensory input unless we can use tools to collapse information to within our range of sensory input.

    Your link suggests you have no idea what point I have been making this whole time.

    The point I am closest to making is the same one that the Tibetan buddhists are suggesting which is the non dual reality of experiencing things through the lens of perception.





  • The simulation idea doesn’t work only because people apply it incorrectly. Our brains do in fact create our experiences with no contact to the world outside our bodies, its our sensory organs that give data to the brain to create our perception of experiencing things.

    We are all partly made of simulators, but knowing this changes nothing for each of us since we can start associating ourselves with a larger force of nature that happens when we group ourselves together for changes we want to see in the world.





  • Yeah I don’t understand why everyone is gate keeping open source all the sudden, there is a line to be drawn between openly changeable and open to being understood, the understanding part is all I want from things because then I can tell if its actually bad or not and that is the part we mostly care about.

    Its ok to not like futo because you don’t agree with some of their peoples politics but that’s an entirely different thing.




  • Oh yeah I’m past that point of being truly addicted by doing those kinds of things, basically comes down to removing what is noise for you as an individual and what is signal for you as an individual, to improve your experiences in a goal aligned way.

    I’m more interested in how this can be taken further, that’s kinda my fault though my thoughts on this stuff is kinda scrambled right now. I’ve gone past the point of fixing specific apps and experiences and micro routines and wanting to see if there is a way to make things more fluid and cohesive because presently its a process of me identifying problems and fixing them with lots of up front work to find ways to do what I want, I’m fine with the lots of up front work but at some point an approach becomes so comprehensive that it needs a system to be done better.
