What can raising a child cost? 5000?
Maybe the dream is like the loading screen while the brain is busy saving data, so it can't save that too.
I have sometimes written down dreams, and then looking at what I wrote days later, it's just crazy stuff that makes little sense.
Imagine we mix the two. If a single developer created the (computer) simulation we are living in, aren't we a hallucination of his brain?
I wonder if it's more or less likely that would be the work of a single developer, or a collaborative effort, like complex development projects require a large group for us. Would assuming a hyper-intelligent brain, or one with infinite time change the equation?
Now I imagine how having infinite power and resources in this universe would make a difference. Is this floating brain (let's call him 'god', just as a placeholder) be more likely to create a physical structure (atoms and such) to run his simulation/hallucination/thought experiment, or just use abstract structures? And would it make a difference for the simulated/hallucinated people inside?
I wouldn't say wrong. Bunker fuel is derived from petroleum, but there are several different types, all distinct from diesel.
