oh, cogito existo sum! checkmate theists!
dude, the simulation hypothesis does not mean things don't exist, it means they don't necessarily exist in the way you have, rather unimaginatively, imagined, and you have no way to tell.
and Occam's Razor does not solve the problem.
- mcgee21 2y ago> … and you have no way to tell. This is exactly my point. If we have no way to tell, what experiment could you possibly use to test whether we’re in a simulation or not? The simulation hypothesis lacks falsifiability and is pseudoscience.
- fsckboy 2y agothe "it's not a simulation" hypothesis lacks falsifiability. also, falsifiability lacks falsifiability. don't make up complex axioms and then believe in them on faith. Occam's razor: if the universe can be simulated, then whatever form the simulation takes is the simpler explanation for the turtles all the way down. if the universe can't be simulated, explain how you know that.
