[extropy-chat] Blue people and behavior

[Robert Bradbury]

Ok, I'm trying out whether my new email address will allow me to
participate in the list.

Kevin and Dan have raised interesting points with regard to both
time sensing and our responses to it (things which have inherent
preprogrammed biological components though they have not
been discussed).

Let us just propose reality is indeed determined by the blue people
(i.e. we are within a sim constructed on demand).  [For the references
on the "blue people" you will need to dig deep into either the ExI
archives or Google -- it is based upon old SciFi stories.  For the sim
concepts one has to deal with recent works by Robert Freitas and Nick
Bostrom (plus perhaps others -- Damien might offer a SciFi history???).]

At any rate --  assume we are in a sim.  Assume reality is constructed
"on demand".  Does this alter ones (a) morality; or (b) behavior
on a day-to-day basis?  Why or why not?
