It's all fun and games until we work out an FTL solution and they power down the simulation to trawl the logs.

Another aspect on this thing called reality is

our perception on reality

This is a dream so there.

2 things we dont really understand, how we perceive reality and where our conciousness comes from, no wonder they are having trouble teaching that to AI.

Perception acts as a lens through which we view reality. Our perceptions influence how we focus on, process, remember, interpret, understand, synthesize, decide about, and act on reality. In doing so, our tendency is to assume that how we perceive reality is an accurate representation of what reality truly is.

I would prefer not to call it a representation of reality, but a working model that serves our needs to be provided with a functioning habitat that allows us the illusion we can influence it, master it, and be masters of our future and fate. Because if that illusion collapses, deep existential despair and mental and emotional breakdown can be the consequence. We are not made to accept living in chaos that any second can wipe us out. But that is how the universe seems to be. The illusion of an order, a meaning, of things making sense and we being able to influence them, is vital for us, even if it is just an illusion. Accepting that nature doe snot care one bit for us, for Earth, for life, leaves us no peace of mind. We need to beleive in a higher principle. Thus, our model-forming of reality, cleverly thought out so that all parts in it work together and form a logical, functional, interacting and convincing fallacy.

I accept it.

Anything else is hubris, you might as well believe in a big invisible man in the sky that shaped humanity in his image and cares about who wins the super bowl xD
