| 20:00:03 | Tywick | hey shadow and rhino |
| 20:00:35 | Tywick | rhino I was wondering what convo you were refering to about my tat at the virian gathering |
| 20:00:48 | rhino | the pictures |
| 20:01:02 | rhino | lucifer posted a link to some pictures |
| 20:01:04 | Tywick | where are the pics at? |
| 20:01:10 | rhino | one of them featured your tatoo |
| 20:01:16 | Tywick | * Tywick tried to find them on the BBS |
| 20:01:31 | rhino | wait |
| 20:01:55 | Shadow | okay. ITS TIME. |
| 20:02:15 | Shadow | I don't know how much I can do on this topic, but I do have a first thought. |

| 20:02:35 | Shadow | Why doesn't the matrix hypothesis violate Occams razor? |

| 20:03:16 | Sat | * Sat grins |
| 20:03:26 | rhino | well, Bostrom in this article uses somehow Fermi's Paradox in favor of the Matrix hypothesis |

| 20:03:45 | Tywick | I think Lady Z's tat is better than mine |
| 20:03:55 | rhino | jealous? |
| 20:04:03 | Tywick | nah |
| 20:04:12 | Tywick | I plan on improving mine once I have $$$ |
| 20:04:26 | rhino | pasting Bostrom's argument |
| 20:04:27 | rhino | we should accept as true at least one of the following three propositions: |
| 20:04:27 | rhino | (1) The chances that a species at our current level of development can avoid going extinct before becoming technologically mature is negligibly small |
| 20:04:27 | rhino | (2) Almost no technologically mature civilisations are interested in running computer simulations of minds like ours |
| 20:04:27 | rhino | (3) You are almost certainly in a simulation. |
| 20:04:29 | rhino | Each of these three propositions may be prima facie implausible; yet, if the simulation argument is correct, at least one is true (it does not tell us which). |
