“#What if you\u2019re living in a simulation, but there\u2019s no computer?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Swedish Philosopher Nick Bostrom\u2019s simulation argument<\/a> says we might be living in a computer-generated reality. Maybe he\u2019s right. There currently exists no known method by which we could investigate the parameters of our \u201cprogramming,\u201d so it\u2019s up to each of us to decide whether to believe in The Matrix<\/i> or not.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s a bit more nuanced than that though. Maybe he\u2019s only half-wrong \u2013 or half-right, depending on your philosophical view.<\/p>\n

What if we are<\/i> living in a simulation, but there\u2019s no computer (in the traditional sense) running it? <\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the wackiest, most improbable theory I could cobble together from the weirdest papers I\u2019ve ever covered. I call it: \u201cSimulation Argument: Live and Unplugged.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Bostrom\u2019s hypothesis is actually quite complicated:<\/p>\n

But it can be explained rather easily. According to him<\/a>, one or more of the following statements must be true:<\/p>\n
