-8 seems like a lot of disapproval towards what amounts to "look at some random dude who is groping towards the simulation conclusion.".

I mean, its not a super valuable post, the linked post is just a personal narrative, but -8 still seems excessive. I'd expect a post like this to end up at 0 or -1/-2. Its not like its anti-rationality, right?

Quantum mysticism written on a well-known and terrible MRA blog? -8 seems high. See the quantum sequence if you haven't already. It looks like advancedatheist and ZankerH got some buddies to upvote all of their comments, though. They all jumped by ~12 in the last couple hours.

For real, though, this is actually useless and deserves a very low score.
