The great simulator doesn’t even need to be great. It only needs to be good enough to simulate heavily time-dilated reality for one individual. A highly detailed, highly realistic first person game only needs to simulate the immediate draw of the player character to be useful - you don’t have to draw every NPC’s worldview - they just need basic path finding, at best.

- madaxe_again 8y agoI’m well aware of solipsism, but there’s nothing to say that a convincing simulation couldn’t be purely solipsistic.
