We Are Not Living In A Computer Simulation
Introduction
Technology has been one of humankind’s greatest discovery; coming in handy in various ways and aspects. Through computer simulation, some processes that initially looked so difficult to handle have now been made easy since simulation has given rise to automation. Technology and society continue being sophisticated as time advances. The current age has witnessed a lot of technological advancements in society, something that has greatly altered virtually everything. The information age has shown that technology has permeated in most of the routine processes. Automation and computer simulation continue taking centrestage and people embrace technology for most of their activities. It clearly illustrates that technology is part of everything. Computer simulation has been more of a gift for the present digital age and continues making the impossible to be possible. Recently, there has been the development of artificial intelligence (AI), something that has greatly revolutionized society. All these gifts of technology have made the world a better place while at the same time generating debate. Even though the current age continues embracing technology, especially in automation and computer simulation, there is enough evidence to prove that mankind is still not living in a computer-simulated world.
Reasons To Prove We Are Not Living In A Computer Simulation
As technological frontiers continue being stretched to the limit, the thought that mankind is now living in a simulated environment continues gathering pace. This, however, doesn’t really establish the fact that there is a lot to prove otherwise. First, it is clearly evident that man still lives in a base reality and not a simulated reality because the latter is simply a creation of the former. Simulated reality came about as a result of base reality and the need for man to make his operations easier or more convenient. To this end, there is no way that a subset can grow into the main set at the expense of the main set that produced it. The only way that the simulated environment can survive or be built is by having the base reality in action. Computers are a product of base reality before they then create virtual reality.
Secondly, any creation of the simulated world, such as virtual reality, shall always remain unreal and it will be in the mind that it is indeed unreal. Virtual reality, for example, is one aspect of the simulated environment that has continued captivating so many people since it offers exactly what the human mind expects. The problem with expectation is that it is so often not in touch with reality. The house that is provided by simulation is not the house that one has in reality. As a result, computer simulation mostly offers idealistic and therefore, largely fake perceptions to please the mind. Looking at the world, such idealistic perceptions and occurrences do not exist. There is a great contrast between fake and the tangible reality. If life as is it, could be a computer simulated phenomenon, then so many things should have been ideal and perfect. That is hoever not the case since reality continues slapping real hard on peopl...
