The more digital we get the more obvious it is that we live in a simulation. Yeah... in the sense that everything done in a computer that resembles reality... is a simulation... and if you choose to live in it... there you are. But that perception of similitude... doesn't alter physical reality... at all. The reduced latency discussion from yesterday... makes the artificial reality more realistic... more acceptable to your brain as a substitute... not more real in fact. Utility in the convergence... in the degree you can pair latency control and higher resolution in other things with control of those other things in the actually physical... to make better 3-d printers... but, even when you can 3-d print living tissues... the virtual remains virtual... and the real remains real... ne'er the twain shall meet... without the acknowledgement of the difference. The belief that reality is a machine... because you are viewing it through a machine... is a form of insanity in belief... not much different than remote native tribes at first believing that taking their photos with a camera was capturing their souls... Go beyond that understanding of mimicry (or math, however beautiful) illuminating creation as it is incompletely... and you're not talking about science... but about a confused new input made as a belief in a religion... that is based in irrational beliefs borne of misinterpreting experiences... Mine isn't a criticism of religion... it is a criticism of ignorance of religion fostering adoption of irrationality in science... which, when it has become irrational... isn't science... and as religion... is also pretty useless.
