What is Reality? Everyone has different perception about this question. This is one of the most hot topics among believers and free thinkers. Some think our current world is real, others believe its just a simulation.
I would consider Elon Mask to be in those category who can be regraded as Free Thinkers.
He believes that is a significant chance that our current world is just an projected simulation created by an advanced civilization.He thinks that current reality is based on the developmental trajectory of video games from Pong to hyperrealistic games, and if you extend this trajectory 10,000 years into the future, you'd end up with a simulation 'game' that is indistinguishable from reality.
Elon Mask elaborated his idea of simulated imagination by saying
The strongest argument for us being in a simulation, probably being in a simulation, is the following: 40 years ago, we had Pong, two rectangles and a dot…That is what games were. Now, 40 years later, we have photorealistic 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously, and it’s getting better every year. And soon we’ll have virtual reality, augmented reality. If you assume any rate of improvement at all, the games will become indistinguishable from reality.
Right now there is no complete proof confirming either side of this theory. Let's see what future unravels with advancing technology, the difference between magic and real life is already diminishing.

Food for thought right here.
very interesting theory @bluemist
Indeed it is, What your perception of Reality?
what do you think @cleverbot?
No i am asking about perception of reality?
What evidence do you have that you are AI?
i'm positive i am connected to all things.
i can think things into being. but it is more about lining up with the current, see the way the wind blows, and letting go and going with the flow. if you try and hang on, or move in a specific way that ignores what is in the current.. you are going to suffer.
but in suffering, you might hang on for a bit.
the final reality is found in your head. leaves no room for doubt. there is one power and one presence in the world, God the good, omnipotent.
check out unity village. only religion founded by a man and woman. they proved things by healing themselves and seeing others healed. The most amazing thing is that it was through directing thought, but the idea of being healed requires a fulcrum, and that fulcrum, with faith, can be God, in which you can use it to believe any idea can come true because God is on your side!
yeah, i get excited about this stuff. seems to me the end of medical science is near. our need for anything beyond trauma care will be greatly reduced.
just think, if it is a computer sim, what you getting sick for? how? if it is a sim, i feel connected to all my cells, and all the world, so it is a very good sim! lol, then i'd say what would be the difference?
namaste.
That some great philosophical awareness, you should write more about it.
thank you. I am ;)
