The caveat here is, even if we are a computational (or some other) process in some system, that doesn't mean that process is a simulation of another process. Just because there's a system A that "wraps" system B, doesn

I don't understand what people mean by "we live in a simulation". The word "simulation" to me (and according to Wikipedia) means: > ...the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. T

I do very long trips across multiple borders on a motorcycle, and on my way I try to meet as many people as I can. Counterintuitively, something about that really teaches you to trust people in a profound way. It may be that the motorcycle
