The Fermi Simulation !

The fermi simulation !

Looking at the waves smashing into the rocks against a bluebird sky and a super moon above the hills, it is incredibly hard to grasp the concept of the vast simulation, that numerous people have postulated, that we all may live within.

A theory that even famous television physicists tell us maybe a 50-50 possibility.  

That is a 50-50 possibility that we all live in computational hardware, that we are actually SIMS of some sort, that is, all of our history and all of our so called greatness is mere play acting. A simulation of what was, or could be, or imagined. And that is gross. Or maybe the science folk posing this idea, believe only the rest of us are simulated and that they are the actors interacting with us the dust, the CPU, NPC  and treat us as such. See GTA or Greek philosophy, the Matrix etc… Nick Bostrom.

And to take a step forward from this point to the idea of fermi and the not-paradox question of life in the universe, and where it is ? seeing that even NASA was putting the number of habitable planets in the universe at 500 billion, and this speculation was made in the early sixties. More modern number put habitable exoplanets as being equal to the entire amount of sand on the entirety of Earth.

The question is - So where is everybody. Where are the energy signals, the radio blips, the dyson spheres, the cosmic engineering and the self replicating probots ?  Of life out among the stars.

When we put these two thoughts/ and theories together it all makes sense and falls together

We can’t find alien life signatures in space because the simulation doesn’t have any. Or the simulation won’t let us see the alien architect or messages.

Our version of life and the universe places us alone in the environment or the experiment.

Which is both sad and lonely, and also extremely terrifying

Which raises some wild questions about religion and the idea of the soul.

Can something be reincarnated if it was never really alive. Can a simulation manifest a soul, could the vast weapons we create be used against the very simulation we are trapped within ?

Is this human flaw of murder and war and suicidal destruction merely the antics of a creature trapped in cage, imprisoned for life, lashing out at itself, and others in helpless desperation. Looking for actual freedom, death becomes an answer to ending the simulation and a path to being free.

If the stars are empty and the earth is false, life is meaningless.
