The word simulation is not synonymous with illusion. Saying that the illusion in the Upanishads or Hinduism is the same as a simulation is a fundamental misunderstanding of what those texts were trying to convey about the nature of reality. And in Buddhism the “illusion” isn’t actually an illusion, it’s the falsehood of your own perception. These concepts sound similar on the surface but an actual study of any of these religions will reveal that they are not describing a simulation at all. As for Plato’s allegory, it is similar to the Buddhist concept, it’s most simple form being that you cannot trust your senses without the proper proof and reasoning to back them up. Plato was stressing the importance of a scientific and concrete understanding of the world instead of blind faith in what you see.

And just as you see from reading all of these, the reality of these simulation theories is that they rely on translations and falsehoods of ancient texts without the true context behind them. In Hinduism, reality is presented as an illusion because we are all part of the greatest God made to experience itself, and there really is no difference between us and any other substance. In buddhism the illusion is the falsehoods you’ve built up in your mind about the understanding of yourself and everything around you, meant to encourage self regulation and reflection so that you are not consumed by those falsehoods, and in Plato’s work it is a warning about existing outside of the pursuit of true scientific knowledge and measurement. Your theory dismisses all of these deeper readings in favor of trying to tie concepts together that could be misrepresented as the matrix.

Every time I thought you couldnt pull something even more crazy or schizo out of this post, you did. Bravo

So the west is failing because of white people because they study Greek philosophy that they learned from Africa? No, the west is failing because of the white mans capitalism, we are just witnessing what happens when an economic system overstays its welcome. Yes, this is still white peoples fault, but it’s not for intellectual reasons like you’re saying, its because of greed

Yeah and they also explained it very well in the post itself, if they just said what they said here, I think everything would be fine. Its a human thing to state emotions, recognize they are just that, and move past them

Every pitbull I have raised has been the nicest dog ever. Absolutely no issues and never even a scary incident. This breed is coveted by those who want a scary powerful monster, so it’s used to make that, but it’s not the breeds fault. It’s the fault of humans who make monsters out of them. Stop typing walls of text to talk around the real problem like one of those MAGA fucktards

Why don’t you just explain that and ask everyone to bring one course? That way everyone participates and you don’t have to sound deranged

Once you understand that humans always compare the way the world really works to the most advanced piece of technology at their time, you’ll realize the simulation theory is just the newest edition of that phenomenon

It sounds like you could say exactly that

I’m sure this argument is made up of a well thought out points /s
