You are postulating a non-reductionist world in which you are the only or one of a small set of agents with actual minds.
Correct. Maybe not strictly non-reductionist, but for all practical purposes, yeah.
Of course I know this to be incorrect. but of course I would say that rite? :)
I’m not saying physics is a hoax, but it would certainly be much easier to bullshit me into believing that I’m living in a detailed physicalist universe than to actually simulate even just one planet of it. So if you want to complicate the simulation, you maybe shouldn’t even assume that there actually is a quark layer or anything like that.
Ok good point. So then if we are in a simulation, we can probably fuck with it.
I had some good ideas on this the other day, but I was thinking of it from the acasual trade angle instead of the “universe is sim” angle. One was you should entangle your mental state with some really hard to compute stuff, like some crazy multiphysics with convective fluid flows. That only works for acausal trade, because you are being simulated to find out what you would do so the simulator is constrained to be accurate. In the general case, they can just bullshit a result.
If they are doing a simulation tho, it will be because they have some question that they can’t just bullshit. The trick would be to find out what that is and do some crazy high-load physics around that.
