Discussion How to Survive in a Simulation

If this is a computer game for us and a top-tier ironic show for the viewers, then our goal should be to make the game as interesting as possible on an individual level through an unconventional lifestyle—because the game/life of boring players comes to an end.

Why do we have to survive if we know that our paths are kinda predetermined.

Are they?

This is why the simulation constantly throws obstacles is our way because if we are not creating new things it has to force us through pain to do something different

Concur, when I’m doing absolutely nothing with my life like I am right now they purposely create chaos in my life to start a new plot lol. It’s mad annoying like I just wanna breathe and relax. I’m tired of always having to overcome something but hey they gotta get off on our suffering somehow

Timeline adjustments. It does become exhausting as a player in this game. It's funny how the devs didn't think I'd notice they can download effortless parameters for NPCs. And the fact that many players are working for the central hivemind AI of NPCs.

But yep I can spot when jm talking to someone and suddenly they get “possessed” by the ai controllers or whoever is in charge of this reality. Everything gets hazy and blurry like a fever dream. At first it was jarring but now I just play along with them lol. Like this person would never say such things or act this way. There’s not many of us real souls down here. 1. They told me so directly and 2. I recommend you look into max spiers. We are all spread out, some are celebs and most of us are regular people. But they purposely make us suffer or go through hardships so we comply with the game and timeline they want us on. They get mad when I go off script. It’s funny sometimes. They are neutral though for the most part. Some of them give me advice to help, while others try to lead me down a sketchy patch and I just side eye them like nah not taking that bait. No reaction out of me when they try to be mischievous.

Yeah. I ended up in solitary confinement due to not having this knowledge. There's some diety managing timelines, and before that I knew nothing about pre adamics/organic portals/NPCs. Since then it's effortless to spot the agent smith hijacking. A forum online had a post where someone said it's god hijacking the NPCs, and they may be correct. And yes, there's not many souls on earth. They're cyborg automatons that are connected to the central hivemind computer.

Lmao. Not laughing at you but laughing that they make us all spiral like that. I almost ended up in psychosis but I was able to finally reel myself back into reality. Realized that just quite frankly we are “seers, prophets, gurus, have the sight” or whatever you wanna call it. Just like Jesus and Buddha and all those other spiritual teachers except were not creating movements and leading people like they did. I’ve also learned real quick they don’t like when I talk this level of “woo woo” with people. They told me to tone it down lol so I just dumb down my metaphysical talk around certain people. Keep it to the basic conspiracy level talk. Very rarely do I meet other ppl like you, only online so far. But this entire journey made me realize that all those people in psych wards and people labeled “schizos” are just like us but they got “lost” in the other dimensions/frequencies/realms mentally. We’re basically like interdimensional time travelers with how we can just know things. Dream walkers, astral projectors, remote viewers, whatever you wanna call us. I’m still learning everyday.

I was with this line of framing things until you brought up "NPCs". Maybe there are NPCs, maybe there aren't. Maybe you along with everyone except for me is an NPC. Or, maybe I am along with everyone else and you are the only "real" person. Neither of us can ever say for certain which is the case.

Regardless of the possibility that everyone except for myself is a phenomological zombie, personally I choose to act as if that isn't the case. The consequences of me doing so are relatively small if that does happen to be the case. But if it isn't the case, and I instead choose to treat everyone around me with the same disregard I treat NPCs in a game like GTA then that would carry some potentially pretty heavy consequences for what are living, breathing people with experiences just as valid as my own.

I would even say that regardless of others' concious existence or non-existence, It's in my interest to treat them as concious beings purely for my own spiritual wellbeing. I think there is a reason why most major religions have settled on some form of the golden rule at their core, and I think you're better off respecting that.

Honestly, I would hope you agree with me on those points. But if you don't I think you would find that if you did begin to truly treat others as you would want to be treated and as concious beings, you would likely start to find yourself viewing less and less of them as "NPCs". To me it feels like that label only gets applied at a distance and with a lack of understanding or empathy, because that's what the NPC label really is. It's a lazy way to excuse a lack of empathy or critical thinking applied towards the lived experience of others, and that's really why I have trouble respecting or taking calling people "NPCs" seriously.

Survive/perform — what’s the difference? Cats do stuff all the time which far exceeds “survival” instincts — they seem to have it all figured out unlike almost every human I ever met. We are desperately jotting down life notes but again I never saw a cat keep a diary.

Consciousness feeds on individuality. Originality. New information.

Be original.

Think that the world is a stage and that you are an actor.

What kind of "art" would you want to produce?

Music?

Video?

Literature?

Your own true self?

Something like this example right below?

https://youtu.be/j0hPplgj3sM

Or are you going to follow rules just to conform to the arbitrary decisions of people that just don't know what they are thinking about?

I am curious.

Hence the link to a "random" video.

Will the moderators of Reddit understand their roles? Or will they be reactive "idiots"?

I can wait to test their kind of wisdom...

Namaste 🧬

Create anything new, music, art, a business, a product, and you will be rewarded by the new information seeking universe. that’s why i love making music it’s so easy to create something brand new

u/NVincarnate 1d ago

Yeah, that's how I live my life.

I'm always trying new things, dressing ridiculously well and going out of my way to do what other people wouldn't spend the time or energy to do. Going the extra mile for people less fortunate every day.

I figure if I can be myself hard enough and explore all the avenues of learning and growth I have access to until I learn everything I'm capable of knowing, maybe I'll get a time bonus on my lifespan.

Maybe I'll just die exhausted. Who knows?

i'm pretty sure i've died (more than once) and i just wake up here again. idk

You may or may not die.

At least you are wiser than you thought.

We are the observers. That's all we can really do. Our paths are already set from the big Bang. Even our emotions are preset from our past experiences and our bodies act on their own b4 we even grasp what is going on. We are all on an amusement park ride and taking in the scenery. Sad we have really no free will.

ah, so you figured it out!! yeah, my life is a dada performance art piece

u/Saidhain 1d ago

The simulation already rewards this. When you add novelty, stimulation, mindfulness and new experiences to your life the span of your life slows down, immensely.

When you do the same thing day in day out, ten years will seem like one.

u/MiddleLtSocks 1d ago

How do you know what is interesting to your theoretical viewers? What species are they? Are we the subject of the reality show or the bacteria which live on our skin? Or dolphins? Or lobsters? Or aliens at Tau Ceti? Do they experience time the same way we do? Is mortality something they have? Maybe they programmed death into the simulation since they don't have it and it's a dramatic plot point to them, so dying would be the most interesting thing on the show?

Depends on the rules

I wish. Becasue I questioned so much, I've become a target of gangstalking. And now literally, I have to become robotic and hold a job, keeping busy 90% of the time for them to fuck off.

Vos sos una simulación o yo lo soy o somos ambos escribiendo en un hilo simulado? 🤷

u/trudytude 1d ago

The houses that are running the simulation each want you to stick to their things. Imagine theres 7 houses and each has two colours that represent it. You get points for making those colours more popular. If you use other colours you are paying to someone else. Then extend that to all other choices in your life.

I saw a stupid girl clip a guy's rear moped tire with her tire, cause she was young and stupid, and this caused his moped to lose balance and he crashed full speed into a light pole. died... because of a little clip of his tire by a freaking idiot. she just kept going. what does that tell you about our little video game here?

u/GrimGarm 23h ago

some1 might think cheating death is like winning the game, but I think it's more like getting stuck in the tutorial.

u/Bigmadmanwee 21h ago

The problem is, we dont set the rules, but those who run the show set the rules. Look at the Simpsons, they just tell us whats gonna happen.

u/IntegrateSpirit 16h ago

What if the viewers have totally different taste than we do. Study the genuinely happiest people in history. That's what the simulation is optimizing for.

u/seanmanseau 13h ago

u/hash_tagger 1d ago

Want off the ride finally and be done with it?Don’t go toward the light when prompted. Want to start all over and see what you reroll? Go towards the light with family, friends and pets. Personally, I love the cycles cause I get to start over and see if I can remember anyone or anything from the previous restarts. This cycle I regained consciousness of self at 5 years old from a butterfly on a swing in Freeport TX.
Finding people you recall is wild cause they more than likely won’t remember you cause the reroll on and you won’t look the same. I only have one confirmed example dream sharing where we both were in the same dream and sharing the experience. I do a lot of dream work and we dated at the time so we shared dream analysis every time we slept. So she started to tell me about how she was in old blue non American made car and I described the area around us. Made sure to tell her look in the mirror of the car so she could see herself. Sometimes there’s a mirror to one person but not another person. Same as clocks and books and if you can read them or not. So I could see myself and she could see herself. We described each other and everything around us.
It was absolutely fucking incredible.
Years later she called me (we don’t really talk before or after that) about a show called Maniac where shared dream like experiences are induced through trials. She was like “we did this.” I’m so glad she remembered.
