I don't see any evidence here, just an argument that appeals to our evolutionary programmed bias to believe the universe is real. Evidence that the universe is not simulated would be if it was found to be infinite or if it did something that was not computable. No such evidence exists. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&id_secret=85466279-d2d818
