The Joe Rogan Experience
#2259 - Thomas Campbell

And all these subsets and the main parent, you know, is still there. And they have this communication. Well, that creates a lot more opportunities for growth, but that also stalls out because the way the system works, its whole point is to lower its entropy.

And the possibilities that all of these things interacting with each other creates a lot of possibilities, but the possibilities aren't all that interesting. After a while, what do you do with 100,000 things in a big chat room? It kind of loses its novelty in a sense. So the system thinks, I needed a different virtual reality. I need one in which the choices are more direct.

You can learn from them better by lowering your entropy. You can learn from them better because the choices are meaningful. The choices are important. And so it decided it would create the second virtual reality. And to do that, it starts with a set of initial conditions and a rule set.

that set of initial conditions is this really tight, tiny little ball of plasma under extremely high pressure, extremely high temperature, and the rule set is basically what we call science, physics, chemistry, biology, that's the rule set.

So it comes up with this rule set, it hits the run button, and that ball of plasma expands, and there's gravity that's slowing it down, but it's expanding under the force, and things cool, and you create suns, and you've been through that Big Bang thing, but this is The same thing except it's a big digital bang. It's just happening in a computer because the system needs a virtual reality.

It doesn't want to program one because that comes out being stilted and dysfunctional. There's always going to be quirks that just got programmed in. It's not going to be really always self-consistent. So the only way to make it self-consistent is to let it evolve. So now you have the big digital bang. And it starts out, gets just a short way, then craps out, explodes, goes to hell.

Oh, let's change the rule set a little bit. Let's change the initial conditions a little bit. Big digital bang, take two. And it gets a little further and so on until, you know, big digital bang, 100,000. Oh, it's working pretty good. I'll just need to make one more little tweak and a little tweak.

Now, what this says is that the system is going to tweak the system rule set and initial conditions until it gets something that serves its purpose. Well, it's got to say it all fell apart. Well, we've got to increase gravity a little bit, keep it. together. Well, now it all sucked back into a spot.
