| I agree that this premise is very short sighted. Why would a universe of such apparent magnitude be created just so some post-humans could simulate us humans? Who even thinks that? (apparently most simulationists) In my opinion it's obvious that some intelligent life form decided it would like to create a simulation where life and other interesting behaviour could emerge. Well, at least I know that I (and many others) would do that if/when we have the means to do so! Of course, we could never simulate our universe to the same detail and scale (or even close..) within itself. We would have to create a more modest simulation. So, they could have a highly logical argument for us being in a simulation, but instead they put the words "ancestor simulation" in it. How human of use, once again, thinking the sun spins around the earth! > Now, how does the "real" world work? Where did it come from? How do we know it isn't a simulation? That's very easy to answer. Our parent "world" is most likely also a simulation! And so on and forth... ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5389450/1/The_Finale_of_the_Ult... ) Now the real question is.. Who spawned the first simulation? And where the F*CK did they come from. This wont help our life on the day to day, but why would you say people who think about these subject should take a fresh look at the world? For those who like to think deep, this is the most interesting subject there is. |
