(Edited to be more polite, I was being a bit arrogant in my language)
Ok GC well I looked up what you actually said, and you claimed god speaks to you, and were asked if there was more than one voice in your head, and you said you only need one. That's where I was coming from.
But let's just say God is communicating with you and that you were talking metaphorically. Apologies if I misread your meaning.
You seem to think it is impossible you can be tricked. You are infallible?
I didn't mean to claim we are in a simulation, my point was how you could tell the difference if we were. I agree I stated it too literally, it was meant to be an alternate hypothesis and could have been clearer.
I'm not trying to attack you, I'm just trying to get you to think about what this communication really is.
I was being rather rude and confrontational, I'm sorry. I should have gone about this in a more polite manner.
I wasn't trying to accuse you of being mentally ill, but rather to make a point about how you can tell the difference. I phrased it rather badly. I got carried away while typing and should have been more tactful.
I have a form of mental illness myself, depression, and I tend to talk about it in the third person as "my depression". It does feel almost like a voice in my head. It hijacks my regular thoughts and puts irrational negative spin onto them, then tries to pass them off as healthy thoughts.
