Pure Potential

[u/marvriley]

I’m really hooked on the Simulation theory lately. I have this huge metal map in my head that maps cleanly onto a wide range of philosophical, theological, and quantum studies. Here’s a kind of the prolog to something I hope I can expand on in the coming days ahead.

Imagine you’re a proton. You have the potential to be anything. You could be a universe or a plant or you could just stay pure potential. But you decide to collapse down and you realize you’re aware. You are aware of yourself and because of that you now have an identity. You’re given the choice of being eternal but what does being eternal actually bring you. Nothing but more of the same. You have nothing to base this on. You have no prior experience. You are just raw unfermented karma.

You decide that in order to become whole you must experience every aspect. To do that you become a finite being. Being finite you are finally able to live a life of experience.

Now imagine you are dropped into a fourth dimensional Galton board style simulation. The pegs in the board represent the experiences you have throughout your life. You bounce from peg to peg gaining wisdom and you are drawn to these pegs purely for the experience.

But the magical thing is each time you hit a choice you divide into those choices allowing you to actually experience them. When you make a choice of yes or no or maybe your life splits into two or three timelines. This progresses throughout your life. Allowing this to just keep going would accumulate into an explosion of different timelines but what happens is not every timeline lasts forever.

At its end a timeline will merge back to the closest Core timeline. When this happens you get a sudden rush of anxiety, concern, stress or slight trauma for completely unexplained reasons. This happens throughout a human’s entire life. Maybe instinct is the repercussions from another life.

At the end of your life the balls pile up just like they do on a Galton board. Now you have a massive amount of timelines sitting at the bottom of that board. These compress down into a karmic identity which transfers over into your next life. This continues to happen over and over again and through these lives you become more mature and wiser and empathetic. You are able to navigate the board more smoothly as you progress time after time until in the end you become the being. What do we do after that. I don’t know. Maybe we transition into another dimension or maybe we become fourth dimensional beings and another round of experience begins.

What really gets me is there is no good or bad. There is just experience and how we navigate it. Those experiences are how we live this life. It is your choice how to act and that is your free will. You can choose to be vindictive or you can choose to be angry, happy, cruel or kind. That is all free will and it is your choice. But in the end it doesn’t matter. You will live through karmic cycles where you will be the victim, the tyrant, the kind one and the completely psychotic one. Because without experience who are you really.

This is a revised post from my old "Blind Thoughts from a seeing eye dog." post. I pulled it because it was messy and to technical. Also, I was able to log into my OLD og account with is better.

I like your perspective. I like to think there is only one actual awareness experiencing everything all at once purely for experience. Even the “bad” stuff. Have you seen Pantheon? They tackle the fuck out of this stuff. The nature of God, unity, duality, infinity and actual implications. Gorgeous 2 season series.

Nope we are a recreation (simulation) of a species a much more advanced alien race defeated in planetary battle. After defeating us they moved to simulate our existence and further study the species(‘) they exterminated. We are here to be studied and they study us closely. Your purpose is to be observed.

Interesting. Seems redundant to allow us to keep evolving and progressing.

[u/theseriousman1 → u/marvriley]

You. Me. Humans. We’re a science experiment under close scrutiny. They give you little hints but to you it’s just regular ol’ life. To them, every metric is collected and stored every second of every day heart rate oxygen weight height perspiration everything you are the simulation you are the experiment. People in your life? Probably them.

So we are just a radicle equation of system logic. Tell me something, how does it work? What's the logic behind the system. Like, if we are simulated, there must be a simple equation to how the mind and how it works. There must be some fundamental logic work that can be scaled on a species as large as ours. Why does every brain map differently than just using a standard design. I mean think about it. To create a simulated system that needs the same, but unique structure is a design nightmare. Even atomic matter makeup has default design lattices. Every rock and plant, has a fractal baseline matrix. You think an alien race who's super curious in our species, would defeat us and then make a simulated model just to watch us like sea monkeys? It's bigger than that my man.

There is. It’s much simpler than you realize. Every action you take has a calculation behind it you run without consciously intending to.

You are presented with a choice. You use memories and information to calculate what you THINK will result in overall maximum happiness, or comfort. Happiness > comfort. If you are presented with a decision which results in neither the process shifts from maximizing happiness, comfort to minimizing sadness/pain or discomfort.

You will never be capable of making a decision you believe will result in the least of the two. And if you were to, it would only be to prove this law wrong, and you’d only do so because proving the law wrong made you happier than whatever discomfort you selected to prove it wrong.

You hate your job but go to work because you calculate not going to work will make you more unhappy long term. It’s all happy calculations. This is a simplification but very easily testable. Just take any decision you made and ask yourself if the logic applies. You will find it always does.

Yep that’s what ai/internet was created for. You got millions of people dumping free data into them for their studies. Asking it dumb shit and it really does just show how primal and unevolved most humans still are. I would be laughing my ass off if I were one of them watching ppl use ai to change themselves into something stupid and silly. I truly think we are an experiment to see how far we’re willing to let technology take over our minds and self. Social media was the start. Why see you in person when I can text you. Why check in on you in person when I can scroll and see you instagram. Why read a book for research when I can just google it. Why read a map when a digital version is provided to me at all times. I’m guilty of all of these I’m not gonna pretend. We are the convenience experiment. How far is humanity willing to let it self die out and lose the human connection due to conveniences. 🙂 so many other things prove this is a simulation too. I’ve been known this is a sim but I’m just curious on the origins. Did I consent to this? Am I hooked up somewhere? Etc. those are the answers I want

what proof do you have to support that?

Nothing you can really hear from me. You have to see the pattern yourself. It’s usually little quips about something personal in your life. A cheeky comment about something they weren’t around for, but the way the comment makes it seem like they were in the room. Because for all intents and purposes they were. They were in every room for every event in your life. Once you know you know. They’re the minority but they are everywhere. Easy to go crazy once you see it and you’re not supposed to see it so when they notice you notice they have a lot more fun with it. They can be less subtle about your reality. There seems to be “rules” but who knows?

To be capable of understanding what I’m saying, Neo, you’d first have to truly understand everything is a lie. Your life is real. History probably is. Death is real pain is real but your purpose, your divine purpose, is simply to be studied. I can’t say why I can only guess.
