The only new argument caused by the advancement of technology is one in favor of the theistic case - the simulation argument which posits a being exactly like God without the name. https://t.co/zdpYfDXNzq

When you say "exactly like God but without the name", are you trying to invoke more of a deist or Abrahamic kind of God? I'm saying if you want religion-as-social-technology (men who fear the same God can cooperate more effectively), simulationist cosmology doesn't help much. 1/3

It's not that there's "an agent" (singular) that created "the simulation" (singular) so that you should do what it wants; rather, in a sufficiently large multiverse, there are more copies of the configuration-that-is-you in simulations than in the physical "basement" universe. 2/
