That's a very limited usage of the word "bad", and not what I've been talking about. I'm talking about good and bad in moral terms, where bad choices very rarely directly lead to life-altering consequences.
Do you think its possible we are living in a holographic universe?

So, absent free will, every other universe might well resemble this one on the macro level, as I understand you.
Edit: At least, every other universe with humans in it.
You expect me to evaluate a theory on the basis of whether it conforms to your personal view of morality? Since I don't share you brain, I can't really do that. I can only discuss choices that have consequences in physical reality.
Resemble it in what way? There is a very large number of universes (practically infinite). Many will resemble this one, but others will be different. But they all share the same laws of physics and all the ones with humans will be similar to some extent.

I would love to share some of the videos I have seen, but Youtube app changed and I haven't figured out how to copy the link. Maybe I haven't tried hard enough. If someone knows how to from the app on Samsung, let me know. It used to have URL at the top. Now I cant find it.
Anyways, the thread was about if we are living in a holographic universe. I got the idea from Leonard Susskind. If you are interested, search his name + holographic universe. He basically supports his theory with ideas about blackholes and what happens to the bits of information when an object is swallowed up by the black hole. The theory is the information is stored on the horizon kind of like a 2D holographic film sheet.

Resemble in the sense that some hypothetical outside observer, if not capable of seeing at the atomic level, would measure them identically in every aspect.
I really don't understand your point of view in this dialog we've been having, although I've been trying, and I guess you can't understand mine either. So I suppose this has come to an end.
But just to make one last ditch effort, let's consider something like shoplifting. It's not a part of my personal view of morality, it's part of (nearly?) everyone's view of morality. And it certainly has consequences in physical reality. But it certainly won't lead to the death of the perpetrator.
I thought the net energy of the universe was 0? Something about matter being positive energy, cancelled out by gravity as negative energy?
I saw the video was over an hour long, so couldn't watch it, sorry. Maybe later.
