This is absurd. The bits on the flash drive are not going to change because another flash drive is destroyed. Whatever information is must be before electrical encoding that is 100% guaranteed. This experiment is declaring a function which either generates or moves energy for no reason.

For example, use a two-stage capacitor system. One holds a gigawatt of energy depicting the information. Destroy the observation flash drives and the weak capacitor explodes if the high energy system had held a "1". I hope this isn't an accurate depiction of any attempt at a serious experiment.

His argument is that the bits get only created when a player (a human) sees them.

Let's assume what you say is correct,

I come to the real world (dream world) and traps aren't gay.

I then wake up. I go on 4chan and traps are gay. Clearly a contradiction has befallen us here. I do some further tests in both the real world and dream world and then bam I discover traps are gay.

So our initial assumption is incorrect.

I only have anectodal evidence to your hypothesis. My dreams are sometimes contradictory. (one time i dreamt i was in a literall apocalypse, then another time in China in the present time.) And also, what about all those times i dont dream? (which is more common nowadays). Maybe its possible im dead IRL, if your hypothesis is true.

i argue dreams are more of a simulation inside your head, where you try things out for this world. so you would perform better.
what you do here, matters more to your well being than what you do in your dreams. whatever you do in your dreams; it does never change anything profound.

if dreams were what the real world looks like, it means there is much more entropy there. dreams can often times change setings and faces in a second.
this system here could simulate such a setting by use of computer games, for example. but you could not simulate this setting from such an entropic as the dreams often appear to be.

where do you know from what they want to acchieve?
maybe we are the creators and used a time-clock or whatever to close the program if all is going bad?
all we know is that conciousness affects the outcome of certain experiments.
maybe we are here to have this experience of finding out?
all of these statements of why conciousness affects reality, are only assumpitons; they do not lead us anywhere. what matters are facts of experiments that can be gathered.
maybe conciousness is able to be outside the body. who knows... but until we know for certain, we ought to treat this as our only time of existance.

there is the double slit experiment. when you measure the outcomes, you get another result, than when you do not.
when you measure the outcome and do not record it nor look at the outcome of the measurement, you get the same result as you would, when you did not measure at all. rendering the idea of "measuring method is wrong" invalid.

also.. i almost wrote induction, instead of introduction... maybe an MRT would be a good idea on my end. i noticed that i lack words from time to time; this does not matter too much for i know a lot of synonyms... yet...

Something that I think needs to be answered is what physics in the supposed "real world" allow for the computer to function. Given that many of his arguments involve the fact that the laws of physics have no apparent cause, a "real world" would then have to have causal physics or randomness for these examples to support his theory. But if all of the physics of the other world are rooted in a single cause, what is it that makes that single cause result in everything else, and what then causes IT? Given that a causal universe cannot exist without guidelines like consistent physics, we must assume that a "real" world has no rules and functions under compete randomness (I could be wrong here because everything being completely being random would be a rule in and of its self, and therefore, what is the cause of said rule?). But if this is the case that there are no consistent rules in a "real" world, then how would a sufficiently stable and functioning computer form in the chaos? Would then our universe be completely unstable, and our reactions consistent by coincidence alone? This is my biggest gripe with his arguments. There cannot (seeming) be a universe without some arbitrary ruleset. If somebody can think of a way, I would be glad to hear it.

Hmm... My guess is that upon detection photon becomes entangled with flash drives in x basis (like all macroscopic states), and because of this can't interfere in x basis. So all results will show no interference.
