      I assume you're aware of the Simulation Argument.

      33.3% post humans don't run many simulations, 33.3% post humans don't exist. Odds assigned evenly based on ignorance.

          Sorry. You mentioned intelligent beings creating stuff, seemed relevant.

          I'm not at all convinced by the simulation argument. Think Bostrom underestimates computational costs.

          But if I bought the premises, I'd say the second option in his trilemma is most likely due to ethics.

          It would indicate we had become callous arseholes?

          Yeah, I mean there are many possible hypotheses but the society creating this simulation would be.

          Many other problems though. Simulating a whole universe would be incredibly resource intensive.

          Especially if you allowed it to create its own whole universes and those universes to create their own..
