Just curious. A question for folks who think it possible that we may live in a sim. Are our gatekeepers simulating all Everett branches of our simulated reality, or just one of them? If just one, I'm wondering how that one was selected from the astronomical number of possibilities. And how do the gatekeepers morally justify the astronomical number of simulated lives that become ruthlessly terminated each time they arbitrarily choose to simulate one Everett branch over another?
If they are simulating all of the potential branches, wouldn't they expect that agents on at least some of the Everett branches will catch on and try to get out of the box. Wouldn't it seem suspicious if everyone were trying to look innocent? ;)
I'm sorry, I find it difficult to take this whole line of thought seriously. How is this kind of speculation any different from theology?
It is techno-theology.
Simulism, Optimisationverse and the adapted universe differ from most theology in that they are not obviously totally nuts and the product of wishful thinking.
