That doesn't bother me. Presuppose a fancy, futuristic computer that can handle it, and -- bam -- problem solved.
What bothers me is that it's tautological. It's meaningless and banal.
- edu 18y agoWell, nowadays philosophy is often meaningless. But I think it's a good exercise only to train our mind to think about non-conventional theories. Probably it's a lite version of 'What you can't say' http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html. Evidently, it's a question whose answer is unreachable and, in my opinion, completely irrelevant (i really don't care if there is/isn't god, if we are a computer simulation, or if I'm a potato).
