I have a fun little challenge, to anybody who questions the existence of soul.

Get a mirror.  Stare directly into the center of your eye, either one or both.  Look at it for 30 seconds, without looking away, without blinking.  Just stare in the very center, the origin of your pupil.  Go for longer, if you can.

Try it for yourself.

    The formal version of the argument requires some probability theory, but the underlying idea can be grasped without mathematics. It starts with the assumption that future civilizations will have enough computing power and programming skills to be able to create what I call “ancestor simulations”. These would be detailed simulations of the simulators’ predecessors—detailed enough for the simulated minds to be conscious and have the same kinds of experiences we have. Think of an ancestor simulation as a very realistic virtual reality environment, but one where the brains inhabiting the world are themselves part of the simulation.

    The simulation argument makes no assumption about how long it will take to develop this capacity. Some futurologists think it will happen within the next 50 years. But even if it takes 10 million years, it makes no difference to the argument.

    Let me state what the conclusion of the argument is. The conclusion is that at least one of the following three propositions must be true:

    1. Almost all civilizations at our level of development become extinct before becoming technologically mature.

    2. The fraction of technologically mature civilizations that are interested in creating ancestor simulations is almost zero.

    3. You are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.

    How do we reach this conclusion? Suppose first that the first proposition is false. Then a significant fraction of civilizations at our level of development eventually become technologically mature. Suppose, too, that the second proposition is false. Then a significant fraction of these civilizations run ancestor simulations. Therefore, if both one and two are false, there will be simulated minds like ours.

    If we work out the numbers, we find that there would be vastly many more simulated minds than nonsimulated minds. We assume that technologically mature civilizations would have access to enormous amounts of computing power.

    So enormous, in fact, that by devoting even a tiny fraction to ancestor simulations, they would be able to implement billions of simulations, each containing as many people as have ever existed. In other words, almost all minds like yours would be simulated. Therefore, by a very weak principle of indifference, you would have to assume that you are probably one of these simulated minds rather than one of the ones that are not simulated.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.

Zoey,

I understand you are a troll account, but have you read this entire thread?  Dank believes anyone who has a physical or mental handicap deserves it i.e. they are too mentally weak to cure themselves.   Dank believes he has the cure for cancer.

Do you support that belief?

First, I'm not a troll account. I'm a 28 year old VT graduate working on cryptographic hardware.

Secondly, I have seen some of those posts brought up and I think you are all twisting his words. I believe the brain can heal the body if programmed right. This means that HIV and cancer could, in theory, be cured through meditation or a proper dose of DMT if you have the right mindset (i.e. program) going in. The placebo effect is scientific proof of this.

You know, in WW2 a solider was going to have his leg amputated in the field and they had run out of morphine. The solider was instead given a saline injection and told it was morphine. His body responded by introducing endorphins (endogenous morphine) into his system, in high levels. He felt no pain, as if injected by morphine.

So, open your mind a little.

Identify yourself stop hiding behind a sock puppet.


Definition of a bank
Bank: Heap (a substance) into a mass or mound: "the rain banked the soil up behind the gate". Exp. Dank banked up other people's coins, which makes it a Dank's Bank of bitcoin deposits

Why won't you nerd trolls leave dank alone? You're just adding doubt which is the last thing he needs. Why not wait until the end of the year? You'll all see.

Heck, I'll be rich by then and just fund his concert myself. Just to show you sad trolls, and for the benefit of bringing man-kind together for an important message.

Seriously, don't you have anything better to do?
