I may well find that convincing once I understand the MGA. At the moment it appears to be all "smoke and mirrors" so to speak -- I just can't get my head around it, although I *can* see the previous steps, I think, up to the point at which my consciousness may either exist in a UD running in a robust universe, or in arithmetical realism, if such a thing exists. Those at least seem to make sense, whether true or not. But the next step throws me. > But as you note "simulated" is meaningless when applied to a whole world. > I also noted that (more importantly, IMHO) it's meaningless when applied to consciousness however it may be instantiated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
