Would probability suggest that we are more likely to be in a very low resolution simulation?,(reply>), @Sparky but isn´t the assumption of many simulations going on based on the argument, that you have simulations in a simulation in a simulation etc.. Wouldn´t this lower the resolution of each new simulation, because each one embedded in a previous simulation must always be lower resolution than it´s "host simulation"?,(reply>), PascalsWager5 - No, the opposite. If we are in a simulation it is likely we are in one of the most highly advanced and high resolution simulations. Take the analogy of technology such as film for example. If you count all the experiences of people watching movies since movies were invented and pick one experience at random, do you think it is more likely to be some old black and white silent movie or some recently made film? There is an overwhelming probability it will be a modern movie because the number of movies made grew exponentially together with the quality of film technology. <br><br>Simulated worlds would likely follow a similar pattern. Assuming we’re in a simulation we’re much more likely in some super-advanced ancestor simulation being run on a planet sized quantum computer millions of years in the future rather than some half-assed early brain in a jar prototype.,(reply>), Only if you accept a couple of very big assumptions as being true.
