Is that a curable condition?

Laser eye damage? Not so much

Yeah I can walk you through treatment. We’re just going to need a little DMT

That’s just a primed and guided trip lol

According to the dude, people with no foreknowledge also saw the same things. “Seeing the code of the matrix” definitely sounds better than “DMT enhances random patterns”.

Didn’t you know? In addition to trains tech bros also invented psychedelics

If what we perceive as reality is a simulation the purpose is quite clear, to observe the behavior of overconfident idiots unfettered by the mediating tendencies of a too reasonable reality.
shneancy@lemmy.world 6 months ago
and honestly, even if it is a simulation, so what? do you have a way to get out? can you even exist outside of it? do you hurt or love any less knowing that? what are you supposed to do about it? give up? lay your simulation body on the simulation dirt and simulation die?

Absurdism is your friend. If nothing matters in the long run, if all of existence is absurd, why not enjoy the here and now?

Roll up a simulation joint and get simulation high
krunklom@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
If it’s a simulation someone must be running it. Maybe we could get their attention somehow.
Praying obviously doesn’t work. Maybe if we all stripped naked and just kind of started getting it on in a giant juicy fuck pile that would get their attention.
And they could make things suck less.

Exactly this. Thank you for spelling it out

Maybe it’s some higher dimensional grad student simulating something to get some plots to add to a poster his postdoc wants him to present at a small time conference somewhere. Our consciousness is just a side effect because he insisted in doing the coding in Haskell.

Lisp is the true God’s programming language…

Maybe it’s some kid’s half-assed science project.

Your reply kinda reminds me of Thirteenth Floor.

That’s so many nested assumptions, lol:
Assumption table
- Graduate student in academia
- Running a simulation for data
- For a conference
- Haskell
The probability value of all four being true simultaneously approaches ≈0%
Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.

That laser is way too close to his eyes. Anyway, probably just seeing the speckle pattern, which granted, can look really cool and moves with your head as you tilt it.
