"One post speculated that there's a 20% chance that we're all part of an elaborate computer simulation from the future."

Isn't the simulation hypothesis as faulty in it's core as the idea of free will. What I mean is that, imagine we are an advanced version of the computer game SIMS. Now be that game designed however, the fact is you cannot tell nothing about the 'real reality' (sry for my shitty english) while being in the game of SIMS.

Right now Nick Bostrom and many others state that future humans will create a smulation we're currently in

Think of Nick Bostrom as a SIMS character saying this. It makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

Why 20%? How could one possibly apply a number to something like that? There is no way of knowing.

it's simulations all the way down

Too bad OP. Youre wall o' text seemed interesting. Now I have to ignore it.

I think these videos could've been made a lot better by a simple omission of ridiculous music, but is still a thought-provoking watch.

Nick Bostrom should go live in Afghanistan and see how nice the simulation is over there. After all, why wouldn't you go in Afghanistan if everything is just a guess, a simulation..

You think that's a wall of text? Holy shit, you need an adderall prescription.

If it's a simulation then everything you do doesn't matter, so you might just as well throw yourself in front a train. Pain, pleasure, it's all the same in a simulation...

20%?

More like 99.999~%. Statistics are in its favor.
