Our Lives, Controlled From Some Guy’s Couch

I just read an article related to the idea that our reality/mind could be nothing more than a computer simulation. Its worth reading even just for some of the ridiculous comments. It does also raise some interesting philisophical points but Dr.Bostrom actually thinks we can put probability on the issue: “is that there’s a 20 percent chance we’re living in a computer simulation.” It even has a link for survival strategies in this "computer simulation" which I found absolutely hilarious.

I havn't written a blog for about a week, but I intend to write one on knowing other minds, and another on where the boundaries of the mind end soon. Untill then hope this provides some amusement.
