but but but ... The Bible says ...

We are so so SO far away from understanding "reality".

, even quantum theory and mechanics have been around for 100+ years, and have NEVER been disproved by many aggressive attempts that have CONFIRMED them, still has smart people befuddled, flummoxed, mystified.

Can't really get around it.

"If you take seriously the theory of all possible universes, including all possible variations," Davies said, "at least some of them must have intelligent civilizations with enough computing power to simulate entire fake worlds. Simulated universes are much cheaper to make than the real thing, and so the number of fake universes would proliferate and vastly outnumber the real ones. And assuming we're just typical observers, then we're overwhelmingly likely to find ourselves in a fake universe, not a real one."
So far it's the normal argument.

With black holes destroying information, that strikes me asan awfully convenient way of setting limits on data storage used...

According to that theory there is a universe where Germany won, I just need to figure out how to get there

You're already there. Just not you though. I bet you hate that version of you that got to do that.

Just think...another version of you running around in Nazi Germany with a big ol' lump of foreskin on his weenie.

>muh simulation theory
These kinds of arguments are a waste of time. Let’s say we are a product of some junior high school student’s experiments, well how do we know that that student isn’t a simulation of somebody else? And that somebody else of somebody else?

The empiricists of philosophy always thought metaphysics was a waste of time (I disagree with them but still) due to the fact that when you pinpoint the Creator, logically speaking wouldn’t there have to be a second Creator that created the first?

So your telling me there's also a universe where Blake didn't get cucked, Chump doesn't act like a little got, and where Franklin and Jacob1983 finally get some pussy?

so you log on to SpursTalk to complain about a waste of time.
