"incomplete reality"? - thats bad inductive metaphysics. he shouldnt naively ontologize quantum physics. better analyze the logic of physics.

[scttzwdrff]

If reality is the multiplicity of multiplicities, then these multiplicities function as atoms. I don't think the "one" can be "escaped." I suggest the being and unity are logically inseparable. I suspect that this idea is at least as old as Parmenides. Plato's unwritten doctrine, as recorded by Aristotle and others, speaks to this notion. In any case, this is a great video. Thanks for posting.

Yes! Reality is made of emptiness.

You are not smarter than the creator if it's what you are saying, for an creator to create so many logical, natural and biological laws it has to be a creator of existance. think twice!

use your hearts! and consicious minds!

This video synthetically resembles a hostage video

Yeah, I've heard the joke, "do the Zizou!": as if cheap inversions are just another dance craze. But I can't help it -- I like this guy. If normal rationality gave us Vietnam, Nicaragua and Iraq, who's to say that inverted normal-ness is wrong?

This guy has tourette

hahaha the hypothesis is very creative, but if the reason god exists, in the hypothesis, is because he is timeless and all-knowing than its impossible, because god WOULD know we were gonna look there.

Even our programmers know this, the reason more and more games have highly interactive scenarios ;)

[RealityEngines]

His description of "the game" is a good description of the brain/mind Virtual Reality that we experience. What we think of as "reality" is actually an illusionary product of the conscious brain/mind system.

[Metzgermeistr]

Indeed. But we do know it will be us that scorch the sky.

Gotta have that third pill.

[ElSameo]

@RealityEngines (cont.) The reason I prefer 'virtual' is because this can still mean that what we experience is representative of reality even if it isn't the whole story, as opposed to 'illusion' which sounds like what we think we know we actually don't. Perhaps you don't agree?

[mousomer]

This is amazingly cute! God did not create the creation - she left out the subatomic level... I love it.

[richidpraah]

this is straight buddhist and hindu non-dualism!

[danburnfin]

Can someone more versed in phil than me help me here...is this not the same line of thought at feuerbach...the god idea is the blindspot of our position of being under which we cannot ever see -- the reality remainder etc.... ??? please? Thiking of our god as being because we can only think of a being that is insofar as we think 'inside' of being???

[honeybee41]

I think it's your incompleteness showing...

[pylgrym]

This poor guy's 'incompleteness of reality' is showing....
