Weird. I totally remember the scene in Moonraker with the young girl and Jaws, but in my memory when she returns Richard Kiel’s smile she had braces. That’s sort of what made the scene to me. To learn otherwise makes me wonder what I could have been thinking in the first place. I don’t really chalk this up as so much a “glitch”, but an odd example of how our memory might betray us in some instances.

The tin foil hat is appropriate.

I think we’re being influenced to misremember through suggestion. It bugs me that I’m confronted with my own memory “fail” with the Moonraker example, but I think I need to accept that and maybe I can gain insight by recognizing my own limitations. |

When I first heard the berenstain bears one I didnt believe it-I clearly remembered berenstein bears-I had to check. I was not influenced by suggestion. |

Philosophically interesting.
Although IMO...
If we are living our daily lives inside a simulation, what difference does that fact make in our day-to-day lives? None.
Or, if we are living our daily lives inside a godless expanse of actual physical reality, again what difference does that fact make in our day-to-day lives? None.
However, if we are living our daily lives in a God-created world where we are created to know and follow God's purpose, what difference does that fact make in our day-to-day lives? Everything.

also praying to God is pointless-He already knows what you want-he will either give it to you or not-praying is useless. God is not Santa Claus. Hacking the system you actually get results.

Whether it's a computer simulation or a "creator ordained" simulation changes nothing for me. I accepted that we could be in some sort of a simulation a long time ago when I accepted that everything could be predestinated. From a practical point of view, the two are similar if not the same. What does change for a lot of people though, is the idea of Free Will. Your will is limited to your environment, your nature and your nurture and is not fully independent. It can't be. I stopped believing that Free Will exists about 20 years ago and grow stronger in that belief every year. Great video, kav ! |

Actually, prayer has been misconstrued through the ages and is supposed to be an aligning and not a request. If you are properly aligned to the universe, or God, or the program, you won't ask anything the creator won't deliver. The only thing people should be praying for is more understanding of what they should be praying for.  |

I suppose penicillin or an AED machine or Bt corn or splitting the atom can be considered hacking the system. |

Praying is so SO much more than asking Santa-god for goodies. Jesus prayed. Was that pointless of him to do so? Of course not. It focused him on God the Father, for purpose, guidance, power and strength. Prayer orients ourselves to God, focuses us on what HE wants in our lives, and allows us to understand suffering and joy. Does every prayer result in a person "bucking up" and being able to cure the crippled and raise the dead? No, of course not. It was never intended to be, as you say, our wish-list for Santa-god. If praying is useless, then so is living. Living is useless because you die no matter what - and so do your great-great-great-great grandkids if you have any. What's the point then? You refer to "hacking the system". That's just a modern techno-jargon way of expressing what humans have been doing for all of their existence. Learning how the world ("simulation" in the new techno-speak) works and leveraging that knowledge with applications to benefit us. |
