[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="neotheinstein"]simulation makes them real.

You're not answering my questions.

you are not accepting my answer.

In what universe does "simulation makes them real" answer "in what way is my hand, my computer, my TV, my refrigerator, my house, the trees, the sun "false"?"

everything that occurs naturally is a simulation. everything that is artificial depends on whether it comes from a simulated human or not.

It sounds to me like you need to put a bit more thought into what you're trying to say.

Evidence for this assertion?

simulated humans are in no way different from non-simulated ones. those affected(simulated) are generally unaware of this. but if they become aware that reality is a simulation they can become non-simulated.

bless yourself with a lot of self-compassion, courage, peace and love but there is no religion and you don't need a god for doing that. god is also a simulation unless god becomes aware that god is a simulation.

[QUOTE="neotheinstein"]

GOD IS ALSO A SIMULATION UNLESS GOD BECOMES AWARE THAT GOD IS A SIMULATION!.

Innovazero2000

You wrote it once, why write it again in caps? A belief is a belief. The joke is is on anyone or any scientist ill regardless of what we know now who thinks they can predict what we don't know, because lets be honest humans still don't know a lot about what's out there, period. That's the beauty, as a species we are so damn curious. As far as simulation goes, I think a lot of people pondered such a scenario after the Matrix was released, I've caught myself time to time thinking about, and in some cases it's possible although highly unlikely. I do think our love of technology/development of AI is more a likely scenario that will doom us as much as it will advance us.

to save our planet from possible doom like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_VK184, we might have to create a simulation like the earth to save ourselves from extinction. don't forget population explosion is also a problem. technology should be cheaper in a way so that more and more people should be able to go to space. we should be more versatile for the same. we would have to find a planet like the earth or to make a planet like the earth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cloninghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning.

well we don't have the proper tool to distinguish the two.if all we know is a simulation then we can't possibly have an assumption of this so called reality, so our simulated world may aswell be our reality too.

If this is the Matrix, I hope to stay there. "Zion" didn't look like such a great place, frankly.
