Well, that's the beauty of it. Our earth is just part of many simulations. There is another simulation where someone is just creating killer pizza or someone is being killed by pizza. We, the people of these simulations, are probably just a form of artificial intelligence.

It's possible that we live in a simulation because our physical reality and quantum reality seem to be at odds with each other. In fact, our observable universe and the unobservable universe act very differently at the quantum level. For example photons act differently when observed. The double split experiment proves that electrons act like waves when unobserved, but like matter when it is observed. Photons are so unexplainable that the only explanation is that it's just data.

So in this simulation it matters to electrons when they’re observed or they get all wavy and the android on Star Trek TNG is just a photon.

This is a strange simulation.

The number was almost 110 million in the first 20 months here (Jan 16- Aug 17).

34m went to schools
17m went to mental health, alcoholism and drug services
13m went to Oregon State Police
4m went to Oregon Health Authority
etc...

There's more in this article:

Yep photons and electrons are some weird things. Electrons can tunnel out of a barrier that they cannot penetrate. Which would be equivalent to sealing us into a room, and then we popped up outside of the room as if nothing happened. If an atom releases two photons then they will always be connected by some mysterious force. If one photon spins upwards the other photon will spin downwards, no matter the distance between the two photons. This means that their reactions to each other travel quicker than the speed of light. It's truly a crazy (simulated) world.

How many black market cigarettes are out there?

Hat's off to you 40! Good Job!

If you don't have a script for the drugs then your correct. However if you have a script, and proof that you don't abuse it then you have a Affirmative defense if you are sighted for OVI in Ohio

So we’re in this simulation that’s running simultaneously with other simulations which could be a countless number. At the point of realization you’re simply a simulation in a petri dish, is there any escape, is there a way to move to another simulation? Are we even three dimensional or is that just a simulated perception?

Haus, such a super intelligence would undoubtedly discern that it was part of a simulation and seek the source of said simulation. There it may find infinite simulations with each leading to one on a bigger scale... Or it may well discover the source which one could argue was god, rather the source was AI or an organic being.

Then you also have the realization and proof of being in a simulation bringing about the possible end of that simulation which would basically end everything we perceive at the moment proof was discovered. Or it could trigger a new beginning of a looped simulation where everything reboots to the big bang!

This theory boggles the mind with possibilities. Then you add in quantum physics and quantum computing, then we could very well be a single iteration of infinite iterations of ourselves running infinite alternate outcomes in similar but different realities simultaneously. OUr conscious being may even be on a ride between all these iterations landing in a new reality every waking microsecond based on our actions and the actions/interactions of every object or being in our reality. Chaos or choice driven tripping!

Ok, take this joint because I'm rambling. lol

Could a superintelligence necessarily discern that it was part of a simulation? Maybe this depends on the simulation? Couldn't a superintelligence design a universe/simulation in such a way that it wouldn't be possible for any entity inside (even a contained superintelligence) to figure out the origins of its simulation? Or at the very least, make it impossible for it to 'break out'-- a sort of sandboxed or air gapped concept to use computer terms.

Some of the possibilities you put forth are some combination of perplexing, mind-boggling, and fascinating. I mean this in a good way. Ditto with CHS's arguments about resolving various dilemmas in physics.

I alluded to this before, but the simulation hypothesis has a lot in common with traditional religion. You have a superintelligence that created the universe, he/she/it is omnipotent, knows everything, etc. You have your heaven and hell (benevolent and malevolent AI, respectively). Pascal's wager for religion, Roko's basilisk for AI/simulation.

Isn't the simulation hypothesis pretty much an alternative form of creationism?

Also, I may be conflating the concepts of the simulation hypothesis with singularity/high level AI/superintelligence a bit too much here. I tend to view them as related, as it is hard for me to fathom how humans (in our current form) would be able to build such highly realistic simulations, with conscious AI inside, and all that.

Maybe. I guess that would depend if our physical world was on a connected network or an unconnected network. It's also unclear if there is a way to escape the simulation. This is all a simulated perception, especially the ideas of space and time. We are all just data being transmitted.

So to tie this all together with the original thread topic.
Is Sessions a real douche or a simulated douche? We know he’s a major douche either way. This much is certain.

Simulated superhero. We only see his public form.

Sessions once remarked that he was a big fan of the KKK until he learned that their members smoked marijuana, which has to rank pretty high on the list of douchiest things ever said.

PDF here could actually be used as evidence in favor of a simulated world. For whatever reason, the simulation draws a different world around him than it does for the rest of us.

What precisely are you referring to?

He is probably asking for a link.

LOL It's legal to grow your own in CO and the black market pot sales is history. Many black market dealers are now legit licensed cannabis store owners and growers. And BTW the price of legal cannabis in Co. is half of what the black market sells it for in other states.

I think you just do not understand how you come off as in this subforum. It's not really anything in this thread specifically though I'm sure what you write about Sessions is either taken wildly out of context if not completely made up: similar to your daily, semi-coherent rants about President Trump.

Jeff Sessions has a pretty long love affair with the KKK. Sessions' allies have claimed that the comment was a joke, which makes it even more bizarre.

Personally, I think you and Dilbert are on a completely other system.

Fine by me. The Dilbert guy is brilliant and I'm honored to be put in the same category as him

Though even he and I disagree on some things. He gets a bit too carried away with philosophy and persuasion at times for my liking, but I digress.

Jeff Sessions could be the Imperial Wizard and Trump supporters would be fine with it.

Yeah, he's like a mini-Alex Jones who fashions himself as a Steve Bannon. He's a crazy dude.

typically on a friday, i wouldn't have class to go to, the wife would be with her homegirls doing their nails, and the girls would be at school.

this would be the perfect time to wake and bake, and watching scooby doo with my dog Jack in the morning, who has seem to remember friday mornings and looks forward to them.

In the real world, it seems conservatives understand that accusations of racism, white supremacy, supporting the KKK, etc. are commonplace in politics. Anyone can say them-- some liberals have this neverending need to do so-- and therefore mean very little without evidence. An off-color joke from 30 years ago is not evidence.

With all this talk about simulations and now Sessions, I had forgotten the thread was originally about pot.

Nice work on derailing the derail. Rerailing?

a derail to re-rail the two times it was derailed?

Yes, conservatism, southern politics and racism goes hand in hand. I wonder why that would be...

And yet when accusations are validated conservatives continue to support them anyways.

Trump is a senile racist moron and Sessions is a racist.

Both of those things are absolutely true, and pretty hard to deny. What is out of line with reality in those assertions?

Well I guess even after all the distractions put up by you and your minions you will not be providing a Link to this statement.

Sessions was denied a federal judge bench spot specifically on the grounds that he was racist.

Trump was fined twice by the New Jersey Gaming Commission for ordering that black employees be removed from the gaming floor when he and other clients were on the premises. He was also fined by the Justice Department for ordering employees to mark "C" for "colored" on the forms of black applicants.

Pretending like people are inventing claims of racism against proven racists is delusional.

1) It's pretty funny that the guy known for constantly copying and pasting things and passing them off as his own words without links because he lacks the mental capacity to make arguments on his own is asking for a link.

SENATE PANEL HANDS REAGAN FIRST DEFEAT ON NOMINEE FOR JUDGESHIP
By LENA WILLIAMS, Special to the New York Times
Published: June 6, 1986

WASHINGTON, June 5— The Senate Judiciary Committee today rejected the nomination of Jefferson B. Sessions 3d to be a Federal district judge in Alabama. It was the first time one of President Reagan's judicial nominees was rejected.

The 10-to-8 vote to disapprove Mr. Sessions was followed by a 9-to-9 vote in which the committee refused to send the nomination to the Senate floor with either no recommendation or an unfavorable one, in effect killing the nomination. A majority vote is necessary for an affirmative motion.

The nomination was opposed because of a number of racially insensitive statements Mr. Sessions was accused of making while serving as United States Attorney in Mobile, Ala. The nominee denied making racial statements, but both Democratic and Republican senators had expressed concern over his attitude toward members of minority groups and his prosecution last year of three blacks who were eventually acquitted on charges of voting fraud.

Attorney General Edwin Meese 3d called the committee's failure to approve the nomination ''an appalling surrender'' to the politics of ideology.

In a statement issued after the committee vote, the Attorney General said the campaign waged against the nominee by a number of liberal groups was ''based entirely on their political and philosophical differences with Reagan Administration policies and initiatives,'' and added, ''Political or ideological litmus tests should have no place in the confirmation process.''

Representatives of civil rights groups, who had lobbied strongly against the nomination, were exultant over the committee's action. 'Constitutional Responsibility'

''This sends notice to the Justice Department and others making recommendations for Federal judges that the Senate and the committee is taking its constitutional responsibility seriously,'' said Elaine Jones of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. ''It is not a rubber stamp.''

The nomination was opposed by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, a coalition of 185 groups that includes the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Urban League, the American Jewish Congress and the National Council of Churches.

Mr. Sessions, in a telephone interview from Mobile, expressed disappointment about his defeat. He said he was ''sorry that the Judiciary Committee did not see fit to afford me the opportunity to serve'' on the Federal bench. He also said he would continue as United States Attorney.

The 39-year-old nominee was appointed by Mr. Reagan as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama in 1981, and was reappointed to a second term last year.

Senator Jeremiah Denton, an Alabama Republican who sponsored the nomination, said Mr. Sessions was a victim of a ''political conspiracy.''

Mr. Denton's fellow Senator from Alabama, Howell Heflin, a Democrat, cast one of the key votes against Mr. Sessions. He said he had ''reasonable doubts'' about the nominee's ability to be a fair and impartial judge.

In the initial vote all eight Democrats on the committee and two Republicans, Senators Charles McC. Mathias Jr. of Maryland and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, voted against Mr. Sessions. Senator Specter joined other Republicans, however, on the subsequent vote to send the nomination to the floor.

The vote today brought to a close nearly six months of hearings and deliberations in which more than 19 hours of testimony was presented by 21 witnesses and written statements submitted by a half-dozen others.

In several appearances before the committee, Mr. Sessions tried to explain various controversial statements attributed to him, including one that he considered the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP Defense Fund and the National Council of Churches ''un-American'' groups. He initially acknowledged making the statement, but he told the committee in a subsequent hearing that he did not recall making the statement and said he did not consider these groups to be anti-American.

While denying any racial prejudice, Mr. Sessions apologized for once saying he had thought members of the Klu Klux Klan ''were O.K. until I found out they smoked pot.'' Carter Nominee Rejected

The vote came one month after the committee declined to approve another Reagan judicial nominee, Daniel Manion, for a seat on the United States District Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago. But Mr. Manion's nomination was kept alive when the committee voted to send it to the full Senate without any recommendation.

Mr. Sessions became the first judicial nominee in six years to be rejected by the committee, and only the second in the last 48 years. Charles B. Winberry Jr., who was nominated by President Carter to be a Federal district judge in North Carolina, was voted down by the panel on March 4, 1980. In 1938, the committee voted to disapprove Floyd H. Roberts, who was nominated for a Federal judgeship in Virginia by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, the committee did report the nomination to the full Senate, where it was defeated.

*boom*

There you go, now that wasn't so hard.

Now we know for sure this is a fact and not just another PDF fact.

Thank you.

You once tried to claim that "sodomy" didn't refer to heterosexual acts, and copied and pasted the first Google search result definition, purposefully removing a section of the definition that included heterosexual acts.

You also once tried to claim that Trump stopped a mugging, citing a link to "Epoch Times, Independent China News", and a long discredited Photoshop made by a Reddit teenager.

You're not exactly in a place to discuss what is and isn't a fact.

Yup fact... Sessions is a racist

Yes, of course, as you assert the Philadelphia Daily News newspaper is a liar. I on the other hand have proven they are not a liar.

But carry on as people are becoming wise to you.

Did you buy that news clipping?
