schlubsays...Interesting but some are kind of stupid
gorillamansays...Most of these are the same reason, and none are really arguments against the viewer's existence so much as what we think of as their conventional physical presence. Descartes, who was a half-wit, nevertheless managed to make a convincing argument for existence, even if he did pussy out of exploring some of the dimensions of his experiment in order to pursue his religious agenda.
The idea of simulated reality is pretty difficult to dispute. Of the many simulated universes we reasonably expect to be eventually created, what are the chances of finding ourselves in the single original 'real' reality? What's amusing is this doesn't really have any significant consequences for the way we live.
noimssays...The simulated reality one is my favourite (and one of the few I agree with from the list). Given that the simulation can happen millions/billions/lots of times but the reality can only happen once, statistically speaking we don't exist.
I use this argument any time someone uses a stats based argument on a non-stats based subject.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to PlayhousePals's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
