Commenting On Bostrom

ufology,

I don't think what constitutes natural is a subjective paradigm but reality might be considered relative. What the dreamer experiences in a dream is real to him but not in the waking state. And the physical world is real to us but is an illusion relative to the universe. If we are in a simulation then our universe is real to us but not to the outside universe. Also, what is natural is relevant because it is a distinction between the natural universe outside of a simulation and the artificial universe inside the simulation. But perhaps you are implying that since the simulation is a part of the natural universe then it is natural, too. But it isn't relative to the outside universe.

Also, if we are in a simulation, I have the sneaking suspicion that the simulators are you know who, and they are doing it because they weren't able to mess up the planet in real life possibly because of intervention by other space aliens and can insert themselves in the program. Anyways, it's all suspicions and speculation at this point.
