> enough to have a continuity Who said continuity mattered? How would a copy or original know which they were? Does it even matter? How would you even know you were in a simulation? We seemingly don't have the tools to know. Whatever the case, if you're the copy in the hell simulator getting thrown into the meat grinder, I don't really think the distinction of "original vs copy" is the most pressing issue. > while maybe in 2025 we'd be thinking in terms of electron clouds or quarks. We can't fathom what level of control over the physical world an advanced intelligence might have. Maybe they can create entire universes. Maybe there are structures and dimensions beyond our understanding. I don't know and can't reason about them, but I'm willing to prescribe them god powers on account of the fact I have no idea. Maybe our logic and intuition, tools like Occam's Razor, are fixed to an artificial distribution of event occurrences that is entirely constructed. Perhaps not unlike the fundamental constants of the universe. We wouldn't know any differently. None of this is not measurable. Indistinguishable from fantasy.
