[extropy-chat] The Simulation Argument (was: Atheists launchinquisition...)

[John K Clark]

The argument fails if the Many Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is
true and there are an infinite number of non simulated beings. Even if each
real world runs 99 trillion simulated universes there are still the same
number of simulated and non simulated worlds.

I also think a super civilization might have less enthusiasm for running
such simulations than some think for ethical reasons, a concept they must
have some knowledge of if they have not destroyed themselves.
