I think the simulation aspects of conscious and intelligence are fundamental. We don't simulate the world, we simulate what we might experience.

I don't think it's true. I can imagine a lot of aspects of systems around me I cannot possibly experience in any way, except maybe them leading to some outcome that I might experience as well. I sometimes do verify this experimentally, but that comes later.

    I don't see how you are disagreeing with me?

    GP said something about compression being a component of intelligence, parent said also brains simulate, then I said yeah i agree, and believe that the content of the simulation is the experience itself, whereas people often think there are 2 things, themselves and the world. I don't believe that at all. There is only one thing happening, the experience you are having now.

    I can't follow what you are trying to say.
