This is unironically the most interesting accidental showcase of their psyche I’ve seen 😭 all the comments saying this is a convincing sim argument when half of the points for it are not points

Usually their arguments give me anxiety but this is actually deluded lol

    1. We’re likelier to be in a simulation run by whoever creates many simulations.

    would love to ask these dorks “what is the event space of this probability distribution” and “have you heard of a category error”

        That’s basically the Rationalist story tbh. Read banks, it went right over their head, and now they see hostile Minds around every corner.

      The funniest thing was the “reasons that this thesis might not be true” and the reasons were infinitely simpler and arguably stronger than the points for it that bordered on schizophrenic like: “We don’t live in a simulation” and “we won’t create a paperclip maximizer”
