So what I mean by persistence is that you will look the same.

So when you look up at the moon and then look away and it gets trash binned in your headset, and then you ask me, is it still there?

And I look up and I'm like, yeah, it's still there.

Every time I look at the moon, it's going to be the same.

Every time you look at the moon, it's going to be the same.

And if somebody were to take a photo of that, we would both recognize that photo as being accurate.

I completely agree with all that.

If I'm building out a simulation, I don't go, here is marker for moon.

represent it differently to you, but consistently, represent it differently for me, but consistently, I go, make the moon persistent.

The moon will always look like this.

And that way, no matter who discovers it, they would describe it the same.

They would see it the same.

Like rather than me have to be like, oh, you're calling it red.

And I have to remember that red is different for this guy.

And so it's like, how do you know that red is the same?

If this is all simulation, it's obviously the same because otherwise you would have to like program the shit like a thousand different ways.

Now you may experience something

like additional layer of sentiment about a thing that makes the qualia different.

And this sort of gets into your hierarchies of infinity, but,

That fine, but going back to neurons, if I smash somebody's head a million years ago, maybe that's too far, because the brain's changed, 100,000 years ago, neurons would look the same, even though I don't know what they are.
