The main theory proposed by some actual computer scientists is that all processes in the universe are computational, involving something like a cellular automaton which is a mathematical computational model, cellular automatons can be used to model many types of biological processes and organic patterns. Applications like this with computer models is why scientific computation and computational biology are growing fields.
It's basically just a more discrete and specified version of "the universe is mathematical".
The whole "We live in a computer" is a popular-science overview interpretation of it. The computer is the most complex machine we have and since forever humans have attached the most complex technology we have to our interpretation of the world. The world is like a fire, the world is like a system of pipes, the world is like a mechanical clock, you get the point.
Because it's a theory. The computer scientists who proposed this also recognised of course that stuff like the second law of thermodynamics wouldn't exactly make much sense in a deterministic computational universe.
It's basically a discrete counter theory of digital physics against a continuous one and with fields like computational biology it has had its applications. But both theories most likely aren't some complete divine truths. Our understanding is always changing.
The popular-science simulation hypothesis was popularised by Nick Bostrom, a philosopher and philosophers have been drawing similar analogies like this since Ancient China and The Greeks.
We said it was a certainty because of classical physics yes, but their view was mostly continuous while the computational one is discrete. And with QM we have a probability interpretation and not a deterministic one.

it only seems like intelligent design. life arose here because conditions were right, but there are infinite universes with infinite conditions, so life is infinite too, but it's a smaller infinity, aleph null.
I don't remember where I got that. My memory tells me it was some ancient greek engineer that built drainage systems or something. But I may just be making it up. But the point still stands with that example removed.

p.s. "the existence of god gives life meaning" is fucking retarded, him existing does not make anything any better or worse in any way, things are still just as much worth doing if or if not there is some sky retard approving of it. id explain to you what has value, how im devoting my life to making value, but you're all retards who believe in literal magic so im not going to bother. you're all too stupid to understand it and too apathetic to care.

Because science used to be a branch of theology. People creating top down hierarchies needed to have science either controlled by the state or banished from the state. When they chose to control it, they needed to completely separate it from religion and create a false narrative of religion v science.
These people are theologians dressed up in the garb of scientism, basically.
we have good reason to think we're in a simulation
you're just too stupid to understand it, or you don't actually care how logical it is because you're an apathetic nihilist who doesn't care if he believes the truth. driven by emotions, nothing else.
religious people believe things literally just because their book says so, simulation chads believe it because it actually makes sense. we're not like you dumbasses, we're better.
>Gets upset over something that didn't happen. >Has what was said explained to them. >Misses the point anyway.
You are literally the exact same as a bible belt preacher in the deep south.
When you have a narrative of science vs religion, the state can choose whatever side of the fence to stand on and it will always win.
Science is the way to go? Ok, well all religions are now regressive and stupid and just idiot babble. This atheism were promoting totally isn't a western non theistic protestantism at all. Also we're going to paywall and hide scientific resources and evidence even if it makes a large portion of the population believe vaccines are evil. Anything that doesn't fit our popular scientific concepts are banned for being pseudoscience. Also eugenics are totally hecking based and redpilled, come here little Canadian child and participate in your local MAID program.
Religion is the way to go? Oh ok, well now we're a hyper nationalist and educationally regressive nation and anything that goes against the conservative doctrine is not allowed. Doesn't matter if the source of our religion is completely against what were preaching, were gonna say it anyway. Haha. Also science is illegal.
The reality is that they aren't separate, they aren't somehow two different sides you have to pick. People have forgotten science came into existence to evolve and explain religion. Not destroy it.
As long as you hold the worldview these two things have to be fundamentally oppossed, you will be the puppet of your governments and corporations until you die.
you cannot believe in science and also believe two people incested their way into making every human ever, or that every species ever did the same after the flood, or that two of every species ever could fit on one relatively tiny boat, etc etc
the problem isn't "there's no balance if you choose one, and so the state wins!", it's "nobody ever does anything to try to change what our leaders/government do except in stupid ways"
it doesn't matter how many different groups people have if they never do anything to change the government, its leaders, the parties that control them, etc etc
The point isn't about balance. It's that these false dichotomies are how our leaders control us to begin with. These race wars, religious vs science arguments, etc are all puppet strings. The point is NOT balance, the point is that these are tools being used against us to prevent us from rising up and being too busy focused on inner squabbles.
If we want to change our government and leaders, we need to stop participating in the culture wars they set up and start helping eachother connect and build something that doesn't suck ass.
We talk alot as a people about coups and wars and then we forget that we can kill all of these people, but if we don't change what's happening internally on an individual and social level *the last asshole will get replaced by someone who sucks in the same ways or worse.*
One need only take a look at china to see this.
If we want things to change, we have to be willing to stop giving in to bullshit divisions and culture wars, start taking action and doing deep organizing, and completely withdraw from the system.
they don't need to control us. we never do anything.
people are stupid lazy nihilists. they go to their job, they shitpost about politics online, maybe they'll chant some slogans in the street, that's it. people have not done anything in the last 100 years that'd make our leaders think they need something to distract us with.
we are lazy and stupid, we are not a threat to them and we never have been. the race shit is because democrats want power, that's all it is.
