The odds argument for example is easy explained with the anthropic principle - namely we wouldn't be thinking about the odds of being conscious unless we were conscious. The article mostly takes three mysterious things: time, quantum m

Yes, that's true, except for the calling into non-Lua libraries, this is where LuaJIT + ffi really shines. It can actually optimize away boxing/unboxing and inline the native function call into the trace (not the body of the native function

So it's using LuaJIT and not PUC Lua? (A good thing to be sure, as LuaJIT is much faster, even without the JIT.) Is there a way to run Terra with a separate Lua state per thread? So as to not have the problem with serializing when calling L
