A simulation of atoms that runs on a physics engine.

A simulation is a false imitation of something that actually exists, that would imply that there is a reality behind the simulation in which atoms and physics do exist, correct?

Gnostics had a specific term for our capacity to model reality: Hal. This Coptic word means “simulation.” The Gnostic concept of Hal is close to what we today understand as virtual reality. Hal Finney was the first person to receive Bitcoin from Satoshi.

Cool original thought and totally not copypasted. That said, there is a massive difference between 'simulation' and 'virtual reality'. What I said in my previous post is what the word simulation implies. Simulation requires some form of virtual reality, but virtual reality doesn't have to be a simulation. This entire theory is based on bad semantics.

I'm here for no other reason than to shit on you simulation fags for rebranding gnosticism/vedanta with some 21st century sci-fi bullshit. You keep saying simulation but clearly you mean an illusionary manifestation of a divine base reality. None of you can actually flesh out what this 'simulation' is based on. It's not based on anything because it's not a simulation. 

Drop the nerd themes, and embrace tradition, baby.
