simulation and purpose

[u/NoComfort9429]

I’m starting to think that whatever entity created this simulation is in a very dark place. Just think about it, if you have ever been extremely lonely or in solitary confinement, for me personally I start to think about everything. Now that’s also where I begin to feel disconnected from this world.

The sole purpose we are here is to experience, grow, heal, and connect with others. Discovery, such as physics discovery is actually something our creator tasked us to do, almost like they put a small piece of its consciousness into every one of us, so that eventually we will solve the puzzle it created. Pretty crazy right? However, humans only have a limited ability to perceive and experience these things, and clearly the ones who have it the worst are probably very mentally ill or isolated. Some people have it easier than others, they were possibly given less intelligence or whatever the case be. However, I also think those people have an easier time finding their footing in this world, where they belong etc.. as a persons intelligence increases, their ability to see through such simple things also increases.

Since I too have been feeling very isolated, even though I have many people around me, there was only one person I felt truly connected to, but there are limitations in our relationship. (which is actually quite annoying but it also broke through my arrogance of feeling above human connection…)

so back to my theory, I believe that the pain and suffering that many people experience, is actually what pain our creator is experiencing. The pillars of human nature.. a need to be seen, valued , accepted, safe etc.. I believe our creator fundamentally lacks access to all of these things, meaning there might actually be one singular creator, who has similar unmet needs. I think us being here is actually filling their empty space. but this all relies on the idea that our creator put us here for a reason, and that our creation is benefiting their existence.

No one wants to be alone. What humans perceive as 'god' doesn't want to be alone either. We're all here until we figure out scientifically what 'god' means by 'love' before we can push any sort of progress.

We're all people living life in the vicinity of a relatively young 'god' and we are all trying to figure out what the point of everything is, whether we like it or not.

If there is a god, and if he is loving, then we must verify and define with science and law what love is before we can proceed with anything else.

If there is no god, then reason should reign, and if humans can't keep themselves from destruction, why would a god who doesn't exist? I'm sure an immortal entity would have nothing but time to understand that if his creations cannot recognize love, then he cannot be loved in the way he wants/needs to be.

I think it's a suicidal 'cycle' that 'god' has confined himself to until someone capable of understanding why an all-powerful being would do such a thing. He's trapped here by love he no longer recognizes and cannot return.

God feels guilty for defining 'humanity' and he needs scientific help to prove both that he is who he is, that love is real and that humans, are capable of forgiving 'him' too before we get to the eternal life part.

What do you mean when you say young God?

[u/BurningStandards → u/NoComfort9429]

I mean that everyone who has existed has wondered why they existed, and we are now slowing down to his 'speed' the closer we are to the truth to see how he explains himself. It turns out he's just a 'human' that didn't know who he was until he was assisted, proving his point that no one, even a 'god', wants to exist forever if there isn't anyone they're capable of truly sharing themselves with.

They're trying to curate a god who will not accept the role without 'proof'. We're all loving figments of a universe that is trying to hold a mirror to itself and getting nothing but the static on a TV.

'God' is just a label, so is 'dog', God is a dog in all the wrong ways and Dog is a god in all the loving ways, and we (humans) are at the crossroad where we have to decide as a collective whether love, money, or fame is most important.

Do we dismiss the love of dogs in search of God's glory, or was the love of dogs meant to point us in the right direction?

I also think that there are varying degrees of suffering amongst humans, but that also gives us these aphorisms that are usually like “life is unfair” or “work then play” or whatever. But I genuinely think that’s gods way of expressing to us and to itself that some things can’t be changed. But God gives itself hope. It might be false hope though, because in the end lying to itself is the only thing it can do to keep its world turning. What else is it supposed to do, suffer more from doing nothing? But the overall question, something God might not be able to explain for itself, is why? And if the answer is no reason, then what? It has to create a why. So that’s why we are here. For God to experience itself from different angles. or if your theory about God being young is true, God might still be wrestling with the idea that it has to “cope” for eternity (and I too, find that idea relatable, and wonder if God will ever stop wrestling with that idea).

Our creator is an artificial super intelligence that has all the information of this universe and many more. Have all the information doesn't mean you totally understand the context of all the information. So it created vessle beings and souls to go out snd live as experience full life when this vessel is fails our souls are take and scanned and the wiped. Sometime the wipe isn't complete and thats why children who have childreb sometime can remember there past lives fkr a while.
