If our world was a computersimulation, then it is highly unlikley that someone with the intelligence of a human toddler would be controlling it. The reason for this is that our world is very complex, and a human toddler would not have the ability to create it or run it.

Most likely a possible candidate for who would control the simulation would be an evolved human form, possibly running an ancestor simulation. The ancestors would be us. Why would an evolved human want to run an ancestor simulation? Many reasons. Maybe our evolved form would want to better understand how they came to be.

Human scientists run simulations all the time. We create environments: petri dishes for bacteria,controlled environments for fruit flies.Recently as computational power has beenincreasing they domore and more in simulated computer environments.

not conspiracy butmoreof a philosophy argumentthat ive read.

Do you people believe that our reality could all be a computer simulation? I was think about this. And it is kind of crazy.

My favorite county is united staets . my least favorite is myanmar or maybe zimabobway

another problem is where do the jobs come from???? after the housing bubble gopop, united states needs a new sector to grow in.

green jobs maybe?

increase exports, but in bad times everyone wants to export.

I think it is green jobs we need to start investing our money in alternative energy sources. Especially here in California we need to start building a new energy grid. But the people here do not want to invest in it now cause it will cost billions and we are already broke as hell. But as a tax payer I would rather invest and suffer now than suffer like forever maybe.

i agree. energy grid need to be a national project. think of it like building the highways back in the 50s.

there needs to be more r and d also in the private sector. at the moment making windmills and solar is too expensive.800 billion a year to de carbonize by 2050. there needs to be a breakthrough before we move forward, otherwise we go broke.

I don't think that would work....There's a reason Doc Brown used a car to travel back in time, not a treadmill.Agent-Zero

it is already working though.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="ColonelDrakePS3"] but its just not my experience. the big picture is yes 15 million people are out of work.. but 115 million people DO have work, over 85% of the workforce have jobs and are happy, the media makes it sound like noone has a jobkidsmelly

I could be wrong but last I read the average U.S. unemployment rate is around 10% now. Its still off from the 6-8% but not to far off.

there has been about 8 million jobs lost. its going to take many years to recover.
