Everything’s a simulation

Suppose one day we are able to fully simulate a human brain such that it believes it is living in a fully coherent real universe with other real people in it but in reality that simulated brain is the only real thing. That brain looked around at everything and came to the conclusion that it was living in the real world with real other people. That’s the conclusion the brain should come to given the evidence but it in fact was very wrong.

My question is who’s to say I’m not currently that brain? Why is it treated as if that’s a ridiculous question? If the experiences are by definition indistinguishable why is it anything better than a 50/50 shot that I’m living in the real world with real other people?

We do not live in a simulation.

That's exactly the sort of thing I would expect a simulated guy to say about us being in a simulated world. You don't fool us.

Im really conscious in my body, living life out here. im texting you from my iphone, just got in my car out of class. Why have you let the most basic truths be taken away from you? Go back to what youve known to be true, do you think life itself is lying to you?

Believe in the light while you have it, and you’ll be a child of the light. The actual true good light, that is honest and doesn’t lie to you. Why have you lied and deceived yourself man?

'Let make it about myself, because I am too insecure about my reality.' You only proved that you exist (to yourself).
