Simulation hypothesis
Bostrom contends that at least one of the following statements is overwhelmingly likely to be true:
- No civilization will reach a level of technological maturity capable of producing simulated realities.
- No civilization reaching aforementioned technological status will produce a significant number of simulated realities, for any of a number of reasons, such as diversion of computational processing power for other tasks, ethical considerations of holding entities captive in simulated realities, etc.
- Any entities with our general set of experiences are almost certainly living in a simulation.
