Simulation Theory Flavors
- Simulation theory suggests we inhabit a generated virtual world indistinguishable from reality.
- Two main types exist: RPG (role-playing game) like The Matrix and NPC (non-player character) like Free Guy.
Bostrom's Simulation Argument
- Nick Bostrom's 2003 paper popularized the idea of a "simulation point" in technological development.
- He proposed civilizations either never reach this point or create numerous simulations, making our existence within one statistically likely.
Creators and Co-creators
- The existence of a simulation implies creators, but not necessarily a single godlike figure.
- We could be co-creators, simulated ancestors, or consciousnesses in a different dimension using VR interfaces.
