Re: Evidence for the simulation argument

I don't mean the white rabbits from the Turing machine, I mean the ones outside it. If we accept that an abstract machine can just exist, without benefit of a separate physical reality, why not also accept that non-computational talking white rabbits can also just exist? That is, why should computa

Re: Statistical Measure, does it matter?

Jason, I salute this post, not because of the technicalities (which I don't want to get mixed into - understandably), but for its stance on the 'statistical'. I visualize the totality as incomprehensible for the present human mind with its limited mental capacity and so whatever 'we' want to com
