If binary code can translate into a picture of anything you want (ex. a naked picture of your crush) then does that not prove we are in a simulation? How can binary code when properly written can translate to a picture, does that not prove binary code is the base of the universe?
Everyday I have a hard time believing that everyone around me is a NPC as I see the world through my eyes (singular view); because of this I am the happiest person in the whole universe.

Why would it?
Michael Edwards
I think the fact that the Sun and Moon appear to be the same size to be a bit suspicious. Also, you never see the stars change their relative positions, despite our supposed orbit around the Sun.
>If binary code can translate into a picture of anything you want (ex. a naked picture of your crush) then does that not prove we are in a simulation?
Short answer, no. Long answer involves me calling you a dumbass.
Aaron Thompson
You don't pay attention do you? Their positions are always moving. The only star in the northern hemisphere that doesn't do this is the North star, and even then it does wobble around through the season.
Owen Ward
here's an interesting thought I once had. every integer, in binary, represents the encoding of a file in a filesystem on some harddrive. there are infinite integers.
there is an integer which is an HD .mp4 file of you getting fucked by unicorns with Rick Astley playing in the background. there is every conceivable scenario you can think of in every possible encoding quality, ever.
If I write a program that changes each pixel in a 1920x1080 screen through all of its possible color values in a linear fashion. Can i be arrested, charged, and convicted for possessing child pornography ?
Your computer screen is simulated reality, not the reality around you. Computer code is a language and has nothing to do with creating physical objects in our universe. You are correct that most people in your day-to-day life are NPC. They are in public persona mode and all appear like robots. Behind closed doors those people act normal just like you.
Joshua Sanchez
Pictures aren't reality, faggot. They're a two-dimensional representation of what reality sort of looks like. Ever hear "the camera adds 10 pounds?" That's because you're a three dimensional object, and flattening it into a two-dimensional drawing makes you look fatter.
Camden Lewis
It also means that some turbo-autist could write a new Taylor Swift song out by hand.
Jaxson Reed
Old news. Mathematics isn’t said to be the language of god for nothing. The popular thought is that it is a universally descriptive system that we use to describe reality, though in some realm in some instances it’s possible for it to be different EG: 2+2=3
Parker Miller
If a picture from reality can be dumbed down to 0's and 1's then how can you explain that? It means that you could possibly create any image from 0's and 1's
Xavier King
I can theoretically create a picture of anything I want with paint, but does that mean that our reality is made of paint? Fuck off idiot lmao
Yes, this is the same as have an encrypted file of child pornography. It's essentially just an encryption process.
Chase Baker
It cannot in reality. We can simulate reality with 1 and 0 by creating a system.
You can simulate reality with crayons theoretically, by making a drawing that is indistinguishable from a real photograph. That doesn’t mean photographs necessitate crayons.
Andrew Bailey
any possible concept can be explained by the right combination of letters of a language WOOOOAAAHHHHHH DUDE SIMULATION
Michael Perez
as a follow up to this you can only be charged if it can be shown that you intended to produce child pornography with this. If you were to include the number which stopped an image of child pornography or a method for producing such a number that would be intent.
Landon Harris
But in his hypothetical it’s a simulated drawing. It’s the same question if computer generated imagery or renderings can be illegal. The answer is yes, if it “looks real enough”.
Josiah Williams
>If a picture from reality can be dumbed down to 0's and 1's then how can you explain that? That's just how our computers work dumb guy. An image of something on a computer =/= said thing
Joseph Morgan
Your computer screen projects light into your eyes. It is a series of blinking lights going on and off. The computer code is the language used to tell the monitor what lights to blink at what times. There is no mystery about it.
Brayden Myers
>reality can be described by numbers >therefore this proves reality is a simulation what would it look like if it wasn't a simulation? stupid nigger logic.
Zachary Morris
The follow up would be it must be possible to create a simulated universe indistinguishable from this one using a powerful enough computer system
Cameron Perry
Wait, how could they build the computer in the other universe if binary couldn't be used to represent everything?
Gavin Perry
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Benjamin Cox
Holy crap- I looked at the article you linked and just lol'd in a restaurant when I got to this bit
what matters in this case is the source of the image initially. Here's another example suppose you were to produce a rendering by hand of child pornography based on a photo of child pornography you possessed. No matter even if you took artistic license with it but still intended it to be pornography then it would probably be ruled child pornography if a prosecution could prove that this was how the image was produced.
>everyone around me is a NPC I've been thinking about this for years. Some people seem like such a waste of time. Some people seem like they're designed to know 1-3 things, and nothing else. Who the fuck could work in a small box selling paper tickets for 40-60 years and not want a change? People moving papers in small cubicles, cleaning houses for 40 years, go home, see a detective show, repeat forever then die.
Here is another scenario. Suppose that you took a piece of photographic child pornography and interpreted it artistically some way. For example if you wrote a score to a video of a child being abused. Is this child pornography? One more example: what if you were make a painting based on a picture of child pornography that was no longer obscene.
In both cases the intent of the person doing this things is what matters and additionally it is required that each case be assessed as to whether it is pornography or not.
Ryder Myers
Maybe. I don't know much computer science. But I think the fact that we, as sentient beings, are able to experience reality complicates the idea that we are in a simulation. We could get into all the philosophy associated with it, but I'd rather not; I'm not well-versed on the subject
Angel Robinson
I've read some articles about scientific theories that our universe is a hologram, or projection of either a 2D universe, or another universe, Here's one I found, but not actually the one I was thinking of >Study reveals substantial evidence of holographic universe phys.org/news/2017-01-reveals-substantial-evidence-holographic-universe.html
Samuel Ross
Ever heard of painting? People have represented reality through brush strokes and clever tricks for decades.
Jordan Cox
>if I can draw a painting using only my imagination doesn't that mean we're imaginary?
There are 500 million souls in existence. Either we're all getting fractions or only 1 in every 15 people has a soul.
Jaxon Foster
>Who the fuck could work in a small box selling paper tickets for 40-60 years and not want a change? I think most if not all of those people want to change, but they're too pussy to make a stand or they have a family to feed which could otherwise not be so easily feed

Luis Harris
Fuck, didn't mean to post two
Landon Phillips
If you can make a computer program where you can code in all possible possibilities you will be lauded with awards.
Isaac Nelson
the universe is probably holographic in the same way a black hole is holographic. There is an event horizon in the region of space where light will never catch up
Lincoln Davis
OP is a big brained nibba and has read simulacra and simulation
Julian Murphy
Im going to find you,take your picture and steal your soul.
Owen Lee
“The piano lesson” is a weird example of this. It’s a well known painting of a female piano instructor fingering her female student.
But it’s a r t. It’s symbolic or something. Not pornographic.
Elijah Parker
this can be done with simple iteration through an array of values though
Tyler Hill
I don’t remember where but I read all universes are “birthed” from nucleus of black holes. There’s a name but I don’t remember. Something like bubble multiverse or some such
Charles Myers
I think its called a universal turing machine and by Church-Turing thesis is impossible
Luke Stewart
You're applying how computers work and interpret binary code to reality. An on/off series of instructional process is not really the base of the universe so to speak, but can be so in a metaphysical look of duality (e.g. the opposite forces if you believe or give the big bang theory any credit). Start looking into dark matter and God's particle.
Leo Martinez
Infinity does not exist
John Peterson
You have to go back, Jaden.
Aiden Richardson
In the same way that “0” doesn’t exist. It both does and doesn’t exist. It “exists” as a useful concept, but there is no “0” that can be observed.
Andrew Stewart
1 doesn't exist either.
The application of numbers to reality is by analogy.
