Somebody please help. You don't understand the context of the situation. I t's not like you don't want to learn about these things, but you can't find anything that's readable or understandable. It's like the words are written in some obscure type of code only specialized scholars know about. If you're busy, just forget it and put it out of your mind for now - there'll be time later on to take care it later, if that's what you really want or need to do. I just wanted to suggest that this article may be one place where you might start getting some idea of what these concepts are all about. I'll try to explain it as best I can. The people that promote the idea of life being a simulation or computer program generally fall into two categories: The first kind of people are just plain paranoid about something , and find comfort in the idea that they're just a figment of some intelligence's imagination. It's sort of a talisman against the scary thought that they have no free will, and can be controlled or manipulated. They don't have to take responsibility for their actions if they think someone else is pulling the strings for them , and they don't have to worry about their own mortality so much either. It's like the idea of Heaven or Nirvana, or reincarnation- it's not so much that they *believe* in these things, it's just so much nicer to think about than not having any control over your life. The other type of people are generally called computer geeks. They're fixated on ideas about technological singularity , the technological evolution beyond the point where computers are smarter than people. This is why they're obsessed with Artificial Intelligence, robotics , virtual reality , cyborgs , cybernetics , etc. It's also why they're into Internet stuff like bulletin boards and chat rooms - because these are all manmade creations which don't exist in nature . They think they can use technology to control or manipulate nature. For them, machines are either God or Satan. And of course the people who believe the Earth is flat are also of this type. The kind of people who believe in eternal life are of both these kinds - they're not really crazy, but they're definitely paranoid about something . Maybe it's because they don't want someone to come along later and find out that everything on Earth was created by an Intelligent Designer, and that there'll be no way to prove this for eons upon eons until all traces are gone. They want to be able to say "I did this myself. Nobody else did it for me. " That's why they're into the idea of the Technological Singularity - because once computers are smarter than people, they'll be able to prove that the Universe was created by God , so there's no way anyone will ever know or question them about it. And this is why they'll go to any length to suppress all information about other realities, so other minds will never discover that their world is an illusion . That's why it's important to get this article out there. To let people know exactly what you're not supposed to know about these things. And especially not supposed to read. 8eeb4e9f32 29
