The simulation hypo thesis has come up in several episodes, and i believe that one of the reasons it has come into vogue. Light time and even space itself are evidence rongly suggests this way. Yet i rarely see this concept openly discussed and seriously considered. My question is, why are serious scientists so reluctant to consider this perspective? So unfortunately, even though thes a priority question, i think t you phrased it a little bit badly because it's a long question.
Welcome to the November 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
