Per Prof. Bostrom:<br /><br />"A technologically mature 'post-human' civilization would have enormous computing power. Based upon this empirical fact, the simulation argument shows that at least one of the following propositions is true:<br />a) the fraction of human-level civilizations that reach a post human stage is very close to zero<br />b) the fraction of post human civilizations that are interested in running ancestor-simulation is very close to zero<br />c) the fraction of all people with our kind of experiences that are living in a simulation is very close to one"<br /><br />I think we are going to find out that maximum entropy makes lollygagging a necessary condition.<br />John Kurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607323621206823686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581401473844438605.post-38722337880126278252016-07-22T08:44:43.884-07:002016-07-22T08:44:43.884-07:00I tried out this screed with some folk.
