[extropy-chat] Atheists launch inquisition...

[Samantha Atkins]

The argument only says that it is unlikely we are on the bottomest 
layer.  There need be no infinite regress.   Of course the argument does 
depend on several layers of IFs that have not been fully vetted.  It is 
certainly possible that this is an unsimulated base level world capable 
of creating sims.   Just as it is possible that there are no 
post-Singularity intelligences in our galaxy at this time.   But it 
seems unlikely.
