I'm also on this track and I'm having this issue of seeing a wall of text and because I'm exposed to a lot of walls of text it is just too much information and I cannot comprehend the gist of it what I wanted to say. But on the same token, I think you are not really making it easier with this visual approach of mindmaps. But I don't really feel like sharing a better approach because your question is commercial.
I agree that mind maps aren’t a universal solution — they can add cognitive load if the structure doesn’t match how someone thinks. I’m not assuming visuals are “better,” only that for some people, seeing relationships helps reduce the wall-of-text problem.
The question is more about understanding limits as much as benefits. If you’ve found approaches that work better for you, even at a high level, I’d still be interested — not to commercialize them, but to understand where visualization breaks down.
I understand why you consider his question relevant. At the same time, it is worth making a clear distinction: OP does not formulate an alternative empirical explanation of physical reality, but rather a philosophical reflection on the consequences of the simulation assumption itself. In this context, the question of experimental testability is generally meaningful, but it misses the point here because it presupposes a scientific hypothesis that OP does not even propose. His objection would be justified if OP were to claim truth in the scientific sense — but he does not.
Your question about testability is justified. However, the considerations are not an empirical hypothesis in the scientific sense, but rather a philosophical argument. He is not claiming that the simulation hypothesis can be experimentally confirmed or refuted. His point is rather that even if one accepts the simulation hypothesis — even recursively — it does not result in a privileged beginning, a final observer, or ontological salvation. Change, emergence, and decay persist at every level. The question is therefore less whether we live in a simulation than what this assumption actually explains or changes.
What happens when you watch someone else live the life you wish you had — without lifting a finger? In this episode, we explore how parasocial relationships with influencers, celebrities, and digital lives can become a form of emotional escape. It's not just about envy — it's about the comfort of knowing you don’t have to do the work. We dive into why so many of us are content to stay where we are, even when the world seems to be moving faster. Is it fear? Guilt? Or simply the realization that the effort might not be worth the outcome?
This isn’t a call to stop dreaming — it’s a reflection on how we choose to engage with the world, and whether the lives we admire are really worth the price we pay to chase them.
