RE: On the Nature of Consciousness-- It's Not Necessarily In Your Head
Rather than a simulation, I prefer to think of it as a giant mind. If we consider the holographic nature of the Universe as a possibility it makes sense. Everything we perceive is in our minds and if the Universe is holographic then each piece would contain all the elements of the whole, albeit in degraded fashion. So, the fact that we have minds through which we perceive the Universe would be evidence that the Universe is a more perfect mind. The problem I have with simulation theory is that it would require some intermediary between us and the mind that created the Universe. It would still require a mind to create it but would also require some "hardware" the "software" of the simulation runs on.
i like to think of it like a giant mind or body in meditation that gives birth to the universe, like one massive dream. i think the fractal nature of reality supports this idea. then at a deeper level, we are a giant mind for the 'universe' of cells in our body. protons, neutrons and electrons spin like planetary systems
I like that... that is a good way of looking at it.
patent pending 😄
edit; jokes, i would actually like to see you expand on this idea if you like @jphenderson. You have a better way with words than i and with my project i have enough I'm doing at the moment
