If we live in a simulated universe and cant tell that the universe is simulated then what bearing does the question have when we can't answer it. The person that wrote this article is conflating the idea of VR technology and mixing it with the brain in a jar .
- bjelkeman-again 10y agoSomewhat related, but isn't saying "we live in a simulation" just another way to say "there is a god"?
- charles-salvia 10y agoMore or less yes - unless the simulation itself is auto-generated by some other mindless program. (In which case we can eventually find God recursively.)
- diminish 10y agoor unless we are the ones running the simulation and enjoying the experience of non virtual reality )
- ZeroFries 10y agoIf the simulation and programmer were both physical, most would not say the programmer was God, if thats what you mean.
- CuriouslyC 10y agoWhat if the programmer and the system performing the simulation are one and the same?
