I was thinking about human development and how as we get further into a socialist society we may find it hard to get children to fully grasp what past systems were like.
There are people who theorize we are a simulation and they give various ideas for why this might be. One most of them wouldnt consider as they are libs is we could just be in a full immersion learning environment. Imagine we are all students in some future school who have been sent into a simulated past to live the lives our ancestored lived and see first hand the horrors of capitalism. Start taking notes youre probably gonna have to write a paper on all this shit once you wake up.
I don’t think we live in a simulation. You can only simulate things of lower computing power within things of higher computing power. This means that if we actually lived in a simulation, the machine that is simulating us must have more computing power than anything we have ever built or will ever build.
Not really how computing works. You can compute anything on any computer. It just takes longer. Plus efficiency comes into play. There are code optimizations that can be made. For example if you wanted to simulate earth for 1 day. You could build a supercomputer, and have it process that 1 day over the course of 1 year outside the simulation. From inside it would still feel like 1 day.
So long as you have a single transistor eventually youd compute anything. It would just take a super long time that way. So we build bigger ones to do it faster.
Wait, so if you have infinite time, an NES will eventually be able to render one frame of Minecraft RTX?
If you had infinite time, and assuming the NES was somehow unbreakable and wouldnt stop working the NES could simulate your entire mom. Or even something smaller like the universe.
