There's a chance - however small - that WE live in that simulation.

There's a chance - however small - that WE live in that simulation.
- digging 3y agoMore likely that if it's even possible, the chance is near 100%. However, it actually doesn't matter in any way whatsoever.
- dr_dshiv 3y agoExcept that we are living in a simulation, then it is morally wrong to be boring
- lamontcg 3y agowat
- dr_dshiv 3y agoIf we are very dull, then we might get switched off
- lamontcg 3y agoyou have no idea what the purpose of the simulation is. turns out the purpose was for them to study how the borg collective spreads across galaxies, and when we wipe out the borg we've ruined their experiment and they just pull the plug, because none of it was about us. oops.
- dr_dshiv 3y agoThe purpose of the simulation is always to learn something new.
- WalterBright 3y agoThe simulation theory is indistinguishable from any religious explanation.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoThings are weirder than that. It's also indistinguishable from the "brain in a vat" theory, which everyone has heard of and which nobody finds interesting. It escapes me why anyone finds "simulation theory" more interesting than that.
- mcguire 3y agoSolipsism isn't even refutable.
- iszomer 3y agoIt can be from a secularization point of view.
- WalterBright 3y agoPeople have rejected religion, and simply invented another one to replace existing ones. People who believe in the simulation also tend to try and influence it (Scott Adams does), using a method indistinguishable from prayer.

As catastrophic natural disasters envelop the world, Mac Walters and Jill McCulloch find themselves in Reno, Nevada. Entering a nearby bar, they encounter a demon named Asmodeus Mogart, who tells them that Earth is but one of thousands of universes set up by the mysterious Department of Probabilities, and that he can save the world if he can gather six magic jewels.

- jaredhallen 3y agoHopefully you're not overdrafted when they come through on that request.
