The Importance of Simulation
I don't say we are in a simulation, I'm not sure, but I do think it's a serious possibility. We can raise the question, could this be happening to us? René Descartes and many people say that if we are inA simulation, then nothing is real, everything is an illusion. This is where I want to depart actually from the philosophical tradition,. The philosophical tradition has got some things wrong. It might just be a rather local simulation of me and this table and this bottle and book and smartphone and so on. There are still, even if I'm in a Simulation, it is telling that I can't actually see anybody out there right now.
