Hoping to provoke some discussion with this. If we were sentient beings created inside of an advanced computer simulation, would we ever be able to tell? What signs do you think we’d see? And…do you think we are?

      But how word you confirm this? Like you can’t get to that speed? And even if it did break, wouldn’t the scientific method kick in and we’d just revise our models?

      This “living in a simulation” question appears to be our generation’s version of the solipsism trap. Can’t prove or disprove it.
