Over-Seers of The Simulation: Disturbing?

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Imagine, that this reality is a computer simulation. I will refer to it simply as “The Simulation”.

Now imagine that The Simulation and the computers it is hosted on are controlled by a group of people I will refer to as “The Over-Seers”…

Question: Does the idea of there being such people disturb you?

I mean if they wanted to they could have you deleted forever just by pressing a couple of buttons on one of their input devices

They could just unplug their computers and our existence would cease until they are turned back on again

And they could do awful things to us, like torture us for millions of years

I must admit, I find the idea somewhat disturbing

But on the plus side, I believe they are academics who have a code of ethics which they are bound to abide by, and which means they have to treat Virtual Humans humanely - according to some codified standard.

And I think that the world’s evil originates from the human nature of the inhabitants of The Simulation, rather than from its Over-Seers

And maybe the purpose of The Simulation is to simulate evil?
If its a simulation, how do you explain pain?
 

Spirit of Light

Be who ever you want
Consciousness
Is consciousness same as pain? Is it a simulated pain or simulated consciousness? So it is not real then?

Why is there human beings overseeing a simulation if all humans live in a simulated world?

Where are the humans who are not inside of the simulation?
Where do the simulation get power to run?

What if it crashes or get infected by computer virus?

How can people die if they are a simulation?

Are you the mastermind behind this simulation?
Are you EDDI running the simulation, or are you a part of it your self?

The consciousness of inhabitants of The Simulation is real, but the rest of it isn't - the reality we experience is not real, but our experience of it is real

Not all people live within The Simulation

And the folk who oversee it aren't human

Where are the humans who are not inside of the simulation?
Where do the simulation get power to run?
I think they live on a planet that's orbiting a star

I don't know where they get their power from, probably some source that seems futuristic to us

What if it crashes or get infected by computer virus?
Then they just restart it from the last time they saved it

And the system is too intelligent to be overcome by a virus - or so it thinks

The thing to bear in mind is that it does not resemble the computers we are familiar with

How can people die if they are a simulation?
Their bodies stop working, and because of that their consciousness is temporarially extinguished, until they are reincarnated

Their bodies then decay, and their consciousness resumes in some other person, with a new mind and new memories

Are you the mastermind behind this simulation?
Are you EDDI running the simulation, or are you a part of it your self?
I don't run it, but I believe that I am an Agent of The Simulation - because The Simulation communicates with me

You aren't supposed to believe me, you are supposed to dismiss me as mentally ill

The fact we are in a simulation is something that is going to be disclosed to humankind very gently

I do not see you as mentally ill, but what you speak about is an Alien agenda to get people away from spiritual cultivation of mind and body.

I don't see why aliens would have an agenda to stop people from spiritually cultivating their mind and body, please explain

Because at this moment in time only human beings in this physical realm are allowed to cultivate, and Aliens want our mind so they can cultivate, the problem they have is that they thinking wrong. They are unable to cultivate spiritually.

I don't think aliens need to "cultivate" anything as they are naturally more enlightened than any human could ever hope to be

They are not spiritual beings, so not enlightened, but scientifically they has gone past humans yes
If we humans are the most enlightened beings in the whole universe then God help us all...
