how do you know you're not a simulation

[Luke de Spa]

apologies if anyone did this one already

ABSTRACT. This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation. A number of other consequences of this result are also discussed.

i feel like i am in a simulation all the time. see: Derealization

more like i feel like there is no real world, not that we're in a simulation. but still

I have no memory of making this post. It must be a glitch in the simulation

because Thomas Anderson died for our sins that we might be free from simulation
