Quote:I think a good case can be made that our reality operates just like a reality contained within a computer.So do I....since we made it in this reality, and very often to simulate some other part of this reality via abstraction. We can't take that very far without running afoul of a comp fallacy though. It's a fine line to toe...lol.
Quote: This whole idea that the universe is essentially a computer is a mainstream scientific idea and not some fringe notion. Perhaps the problem is not me not knowing how computers work but rather you don't understand just how much our reality operates like a computer.Wheres the mainstream idea that this simulation or computer, if it existed...had a creator - some "intelligence"-, or that one would be required? Ah, I see, that's additional nonsense you tacked on in ignorance.
(if you want to have a convo about the similarities between machine logic - simulation- and human thought and experience, even the "operation" of the universe make that thread and I'll be there, tongue wagging -like I always am with those threads)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
