b'This movie \\n\\n

Yo dog, I heard you liked simulations. Server-room LAN rave parties. choosing your simulated period for fun, profit, and lack of complications.

\\n\\n Simulation \\n\\n

Plato\\u2019s shadows on a cave wall. Maybe shadows all the way down, and turtles all the way up! The simulatability of our perceived reality.

\\n\\n The argument \\n\\n

The simulation argument made distinct from the simulation hypothesis. Considering possible \\u201cgreat filters\\u201d that could prevent technological progress reaching the point where a reality simulation is possible.

\\n\\n Difficulties \\n\\n

The possible impossibility of simulating a whole universe in what may itself be a finite universe. Video game engine-corner cutting analogies for the reality sim. Kardashev scales and simulation ability.

\\n\\n Reality \\n\\n

But is it \\u201creal\\u201d and does it even matter? \\u201cI think therefore I am.\\u201d Mind uploading and downloading and VR \\u201cdeath.
