marf Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Maybe whoever discovers these Aliens gets an ultimatum. They are just here to observe and report, if we out them we go the way of Alderaan. And if you are feeling suicidal they'l know and find something to scare the shit out of you. Otherwise no problems. Or its us from the future. Which also has its perils. Can you imagine some school history class trip for kids from the year 3000? What better way to teach history than to watch it Edited August 25, 2020 by marf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I don't think the aliens are evolved humans; I think we're livestock/animals to them, and they are treating us the same way we observe apes and other animals in their habitats (tagging, selective culling, breeding experiments) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apriorion Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Perhaps they are neither evolved humans nor aliens, but are instead our perception of the programmers of the simulation we all live in: it's how they occasionally manifest themselves in the simulated universe so they can poke around and observe. Untethered speculation can be fun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the article, he speculates a bit about what a simulation-world would entail for our belief in God, the soul, recursive simulations, etc. I don't recall that he speculates about UFOs, though, but hey, why not? https://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation.pdf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He downplays the significance of the bland indifference principle and the substrate independence hypotheses, though. Neither of these are strictly “logical” nor strictly “mathematical”. They are substantive philosophical premises in Bostrom’s argument. Thus, the argument isn’t as airtight as being pure logic and math. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
