| I'll try and explain it again
Just imagine it like everybody in the future having their own 'Matrix'-like place where they could go for recreation after a day at work, or maybe to escape from a world they don't like. Every real person would live in at least one of these constructed worlds, populated by simulacrums.
These simulacrums would be constructed within different historical scenarios using so much computing power that they would be real people in every exact detail, but they would not have been born, they would still have been created. The worlds in which they live would also be exact in every minute detail.
Now, how do you know if you are in the 'real' world, or living in an artificially created world? Maybe you are simulacrum yourself. |
