To me, they're the same because both can't be proved or disproved. It's a matter of faith. I find Musk's statement stupid because he just didn't say it's possible. He said it was probable.
- projektir 10y agoThat does not make statements the same. That's not what "same" means. Simulation could be said to be probable. I recall reading a piece of math done on the subject and it seemed a lot more probable than the alternative. Contrary to the God idea, where the probability seems impossible to measure. This seems like the wrong place to use "stupid", and terms like that mostly exist as a shaming tool rather than for truth exploration, so I tend to be suspicious of anyone using them, especially if they claim to be informed enough to know better than to use them.
- woofyman 10y agoYou really believe it's probable that we live in a simulation based on a math paper? That math paper is itself simulated as is your reading and understanding of it.
