Simulation theory

i feel this way about string theory, except there's no evidence so i'm not stupid enough to admit that to anyone.

This the most naive theory one can believe.
Some say they have seen ghosts?
>its bug lol
Déjà vu?
>le glitch in the matrix

You can 'explain' everything while not explaining anything.

yes, totally agree... and there are way too many presents around christmas for santa not being real. and even more, there are coins *and* teeth... coincidence?

It's like religion for kids who watched too much matrix

It really does make a lot of sense, though.

Let's hear some refutation, not just trash talk?

It's a bit too escapist in my opinion, and shouldn't there be some microscopic evidence of this? Apart from the existence of sunglasses, that is.

(How many finite universes of would it take to simulate a single universe anyway? Do information processing limitations exist on the universe?)

so does the axiom of choice

What's your argument? Bostrom's probabilistic one? I'm not a statistician or a philosopher but I'm not sure that the sort of probabilities he talks about are actually definable. Also, while it doesn't disprove anything he's said, the fact that he listens so earnestly to fucking Yudkowsky makes me automatically skeptical of his arguments

Is it a simulation, or a dream? They're kinda the same thing. Only difference is one runs on hardware and the other runs on wetware.
If it is a dream, what does that say about our dreams when we sleep at night?

We have already had this thread multiple times faggot, why don't you do something better with your life? It's people like you that are making this website shittier and if you would just stop being a reposting faggot, then I wouldn't have a problem with you, but nope, of course you had to continue posting bullshit that adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. Seriously, why don't you consider just leaving this website and go back to fucking reddit, at least there they are stupid enough that they won't realize that something is a repost, but reposting here has to fucking stop. Maybe one day when you get this message through your fucking thick skull, you will realize that your and your actions are in the wrong and you will finally stop being a faggot, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Long story short, fuck off reposting faggot.

thanks for the copypasta

There are lots of factors about the universe make the simulation theory impossible, so no.
