Do we live in a simulation?
maybe

>“But what if God himself can be simulated, that is to say can be reduced to signs that constitute faith? Then the whole system becomes weightless, it is no longer anything but a gigantic simulacrum - not unreal, but simulacrum, that is to say never exchanged for the real, but exchanged for itself, in an uninterrupted circuit without reference or circumference.”
This is the consume obey scenario.
Please continue until you next shot at life.
Dumbest theory ever
Aren't these western ideas just eastern philosophy, oneness and reincarnation.
Who knows. Enjoy the ride, faggot.
What about Baudrillard's comment gave you that impression?
Yes, it's simulates living
He is essentially describing non dual awareness.
If anything he's arguing for the impossibility of non-dual awareness. There is no "objective reality" to perceive if all is essentially a copy of a copy of a copy of an original that no longer exists (or, at the very least, is no longer understood to be the original).
Yes the Hindus call it Maya, not a new idea.
Probably
Work on some cheat codes
They will exist
Along with some backdoors and admin access to other servers
It's actually Purgatory but it's very well disguised.
It's more like a holographic prison.
Except Baudrillard isn't arguing that the innate illusory nature of reality in modernity has religious significance. This illusion isn't engendered by the Gods, but by humanity itself (through creating copies of copies of original images / archetypes / narratives / etc. to the extent that there is no longer an "original" reality)
>“Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, or a substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal.”
So not exactly like Maya
Yes it is the same, religion is an idea, gods are an idea.
Based commie
Sure, but the difference is that Hindus perceive of Maya as having an innate religious significance tied to their theology. Baudrillard sees hyperreality as a man-made construct. So it's not really possible to equate the two
That's just your perception because you lack knowledge and are making assumptions, there are many religions that adopt the idea that world is an illusion created by the mind.
Boring simulator. When I wake up there better be a happening.
Absolutely. Science will never prove it though. It is beyond our understanding.
