I meant that you could make the same argument for non-simulated reality.
- coldtea 6y agoTrue, but traditionally we do ascribe moral agency / capacity for suffering to persons made of atoms (as opposed to bits).
- comboy 6y agoTraditionally we used to kill animals (or even people) to satisfy gods. We learn. If you are assuming you are made of atoms and consciousness is emergent property that is not breaking any laws of physics, then.. well instead of giving up and deleting it, I'll just say you know exactly how the argument goes but if you feel simulated atoms don't cause suffering they way real ones do I'm unlikely to change your mind. I think that's 1=2 though.
