What do you think about the simulation theory?

If you don't know what is the simulation theory, it is defined by Wikipedia as:

... the proposition that all of reality, including the Earth and the universe, is in fact an artificial simulation, most likely a computer simulation.

People like Elon Musk believe we are living in a simulation https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/what-simulation-hypothesis-why-some-think-life-simulated-reality-ncna913926

And big institutions such as Bank of America have started to ponder about this possibility. They gave it between 20-50% of probability that we are living in a simulation. https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-america-thinks-theres-a-50-chance-we-live-in-a-matrix-2016-9

You can read tons of information about the simulation theory in this website https://www.simulation-argument.com/

I wonder what you peeps think about the simulation theory?

I most def say its possible BUT, Jesus is real and if he's real then there is a God. if there is a God then he must be in control. So in short i have have a hard time believing in Simulation because I believe in God. This is not a religious post, as a matter of fact I don't think i have ever made a comment or post like this....ever. It's just the only way I can explain why I can't fully buy sim theory. :)

The simulation theory isn’t incompatible with the existence of a god.

You mean with the existence of a simulated god?

Could be but not necessarily, I mean god could be the creator of the simulation. Also, why just 1 god and 1 simulation? There could be many... and there could also be simulations inside simulations...

It is a fascinating topic, thanks for bringing it up.
Yes, I think it is possible indeed.
There are many implications. E.g. if our consciousness is simulated, what impact does it have on our socalled free will? This would add arguments to the recent scientific findings that we indeed have no free will, and that it is rather a social construct like religion to keep communities better functioning.
It could also explain the Fermi paradox. In the simulation any extraterrestrians are simply turned off.

Do you mean this from Wolfram right? https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-have-a-path-to-the-fundamental-theory-of-physics-and-its-beautiful/

Well, they could also be out there but we still haven't establish contact.

I wonder if this could be related to the existence of premonitions/seeing the future in dreams which I know is something real.

No, I meant rather those experiments first started by Libet, here is a summary:

Yes, they could be there but that´s the paradox, why there was no single contact, if the universe is full of life. The simulation is a simple explanation for it - if it is true of course.

Have you some evidence for "seeing the future in dreams"?

I wouldn't call it evidence but rather personal experiences that can only confirm to me that this is real, and I don't expect anyone else to believe what I am saying about this topic because it would be impossible for me to prove this.

I shared my experiences in this post https://hive.blog/hive-173737/@dedicatedguy/what-are-your-craziest-paranormal-unexplainable-experiences To me, they confirm it is somehow possible to access glimpses of the future. If I hadn't had those experiences and someone else came to tell me this is real I wouldn't believe that person. Since this happened to me, I do believe it.

I know what you mean. It seems that in dreams our mind can reach different levels of existence, which are closed while we are awake.
