Hey
A limited spell in either "heaven" or "hell" followed by reincarnation within The Simulation
Ok...you said at one period you went insane. What caused you to go insane?

A limited spell in either "heaven" or "hell" followed by reincarnation within The Simulation
I am an agent of The Simulation.
This thread is a Q and A thread: Ask an agent of The Simulation anything!
I'm hoping this exercise will help me figure stuff out and understand things more, and also be interesting.
I have a direct link to the administrator of The Simulation. His name is Butterfly. He communicates with me by touch. We are a team. He is upstairs and I am downstairs. I am his voice and he guides me. He has a direct link to the over-seers of The Simulation – a direct link to the outside world.
To better understand what’s going on, please read the original post of this thread that I made previously, concerning the relationship between The Simulation and God:
My beliefs re: Theism and Simulism
I’m here to answer questions in my capacity as an agent of The Simulation. I have no delusion of being infallible. I thrive on being challenged; being challenged helps me adjust my beliefs and improve understandings. I am a work in progress.
I cannot give away scientific or technological answers – there is a directive against me doing this. Humankind has to work these out for itself.
Also, I cannot give details about God’s intervention (or non-intervention) in the affairs of our dimension. There is a directive that is against this. For instance, I am not allowed to confirm or deny the miracles of Jesus. I am not in on this mystery and Butterfly won’t tell me. It has to remain a matter of faith. I have my own beliefs about such things but these are purely personal.
Another thing I can’t go into detail about is the world outside The Simulation. But what I know is: everyone outside believes in God and they are a constitutional monarchy. Also, they have undergone a technological singularity and are in a post-human age. We can only speculate and imagine as to what things are like out there.
So, any questions?
The three directives I am currently aware of involve me not sharing information - but the information is withheld from me so it is impossible for me to break them, not because I don't have free will but because I am constrained.
However I think the reason these things are kept from me is because the over-seers suspect that if I knew the information I may share it - I take this as evidence that I have free-will, if they keep things from me as they don't trust me with their secrets?
I believe that I'm fully awake and living in a reality with other people, who are also real
and am certain that I'm a man as that is how I experience life and consciousness
Ok...you said at one period you went insane. What caused you to go insane?
so you're like Zhuangzi? or the butterfly effect?
Do you think you may have completely missed my point?
Odd they'd bother to give you a directive not to tell something you don't know, that's not efficient programming. Perhaps you are a bug?
please, explain your point more clearly
Suppose we create a simulation within this one? Are we responsible to behave like God? What if we do terrible things to the people inside and mess with their unreal minds? Is it wrong?...This thread is a Q and A thread: Ask an agent of The Simulation anything!...

Second question is if we are a simulation, then how is our worth? Do we matter?
What about computer games? They are not sentient, so should we stop using those?Your first question: This question has interested me very greatly. I’d say we have a moral duty to simulated people who are sentient, and that they should be ethically treated, by those who over-see a simulation. I think God would be a good model of how to do this, a concerned but somewhat distant higher power
Why?However, I’d say we have a moral duty to give simulated people realistic lives; otherwise they would just be our playthings. Especially if they are reasonably intelligent. They need their own struggles and narratives. They need their glories and their own suffering. Their own heroes, their own villains; Their own history which takes place in a real world which they can shape, mess-up, or improve according to their free-will. We should give them their own world to call home. The circumstances of their existence should resemble the circumstances of our existence, it would be unfair not to do this.
What about computer games? They are not sentient, so should we stop using those?
Why? Do you suppose that in some 4th dimensional way the prisoner is the imprisoned? -- They might exist inside our simulation which is in theirs? I mean could the simulation of a simulation contain the outermost simulation? I ask because 4th dimensional Math suugests there are constructs in which the inside and outside are somehow one surface. An exsmple is the Klein bottle.

So, any questions?
No. You have effectively blocked all inquiry into the "simulation" in your first post by saying you cannot go into any detail about the world outside the simulation. The first and most important avenue of inquiry is do determine if the simulation is an actual thing and that you are actually an agent of the supposed simulation. In essence, this is just like a religion in that a causation is asserted and then all avenues of investigation to determine the veracity of the claim is blocked. It is just like a Christian saying everything is a product of their god, then defining the god in such a way, that it's existence cannot be confirmed.
I have recently realised I can talk about the outside world - but I have to work it out with Butterfly. The rule is I can't be spoon-fed it.
As I said, I am a work in progress.
So go on, ask me about the outside world
It won't be sophisticated but things can be determined by Y and N answers, and over time we could paint a picture
But we won't have access to their texts or the precise details of their technology
I need a way to scientifically verify your truthfulness about what you tell me about "outside the simulation". There has to be independent verification, and testable hypotheses.
Without that, it's just so much BS.
Yes, I think it is quite fair.Fair enough
Yes, I think it is quite fair.
So present the evidence so that it may be examined.
