I was thinking about human development and how as we get further into a socialist society we may find it hard to get children to fully grasp what past systems were like.

There are people who theorize we are a simulation and they give various ideas for why this might be. One most of them wouldnt consider as they are libs is we could just be in a full immersion learning environment. Imagine we are all students in some future school who have been sent into a simulated past to live the lives our ancestored lived and see first hand the horrors of capitalism. Start taking notes youre probably gonna have to write a paper on all this shit once you wake up.

My take on simulation theory is that it describes the conscious experience of dreams and reality.

The conscious aspect of the human psyche exists in a simulation created by the unconscious. Hence the perception of reality is nothing but a dream chained to the material world by unconscious's interpretation of the senses. Given the physical limitation of human eyes and ears, the ability to perceive and navigate in 3D can only be possible by the unconscious reconstructing a doppelganger of the material world. In a way that is similar to the architecture of an intelligent agent.

What counts as the present, the current second, millisecond or nano second? In such an infinitely small slice of time sight and sound contains little information. They can only mean something through the temporal accumulation of data creating an imagined perspective.

Consciousness can not exist without this simulation hence the inability to perceive the state of being a sleep but not dreaming. In spite of complex thought still occurring during that period.
