Re: Are we simulated by some massive computer?

Dear George,       How does indeterminacy and multiple-world-occupation follow from an inability to deduce that one is not in a simulation?       Also, how is multiple-world-occupation knowable 1st person unless by the means I discusses previously? Does this not violate the anthropic princi

Re: Are we simulated by some massive computer?

I'd love to take credit for George's arguments (he probably knows more than me, after all) but that wouldn't be ethical (and I don't think we want to revisit THAT thread!)   cheers!   Dear George,       Interleaving. [CMR] It seems to me that if two worlds are indistinguishab
