[quote=davelj]I don’t know if it’s “probable” that our existence is a simulation (as the article suggests), but it’s probably the highest probability among many alternatives, which is a distinction with a difference. My personal assumption is that some “thing” beyond what our simple minds can fathom created our universe and we’re an observed experiment. But that this “thing” gives one rat’s ass about us as individuals or even large groups… that I do not believe.[/quote]
