The point of the universe is to become conscious of its own nature, and that's the end of history. The simulators set up the universe in order to see when we would actually realize that we're in assimulation.

And if that worries you, thin con thin on, think about what it means for me,. who just spent five years writing a book about dasimulation.

David's new book is "Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy."
