Welcome back to The Bottom Turtle Podcast! In this episode Oyani and Dr. Ray use the degree of freedom soup, introduced in the previous episode, to discuss the simulation hypothesis. They also discuss the usefulness of the hypothesis as a tool for discussing the limits of what can be known about reality.
Beyond the discussion about the truth of living in a simulation, the hosts also ask if it really matters. Assuming the model put forth by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom that we are beings in an ancestral program of reality, the hosts ask if it matters given that there are still consequences. If it is the case that a powerful civilization discovered how to create consciousness and placed it in a computer, is there any difference from regular life since we would still be minds navigating a degree of freedom soup who can feel?
The hosts also discuss the implications of the matrix on the simulation hypothesis and how societies construct a consensus when constructing a model of reality using the scientific method. They also give their version of the simulation hypothesis by stating in the affirmative that we are in a simulation that is constructed by our physical systems as it models the degree of freedom soup. Basically, as minds trapped in bodies, we are trapped in our simulations of hard reality ( that which exists independent of any single mind and is the origin of data inputs for the model).
