LOL!!

I started a thread on soc history what-if on :

WI the Moon landing was *really* faked? What would it take to fake
it? What technology wouldn't we have? What *would* we have, since the
gov't had to develop it for the fake Moon landing? What forged
scientific
data would we have? What else?

It's all a fake in any case:

http://www.stanford.edu/class/symbsys205/BostromReview.html

In "Are you living in a computer simulation?", Nick Bostrom presents a
probabilistic analysis of the possibility that we might all be living
in a computer simulation. He concludes that it is not only possible,
but rather probable that we are living in a computer simulation. This
argument, originally published in 2001, shook up the field of
philosophical ontology, and forced the philosophical community to
rethink the way it conceptualizes "natural" laws and our own
intuitions regarding our existence. Is it possible that all of our
ideas about the world in which we live are false, and are simply the
result of our own desire to believe that we are "real"? Even more
troubling, if we are living in a computer simulation, is it possible
that the simulation might be shut off at any moment? In this paper, I
plan to do two things. First, I hope to consider what conclusions we
might draw from Bostrom's argument, and what implications this might
have for how we affect our lives. Second, I plan to discuss a possible
objection to Bostrom's argument, and how this might affect our
personal probability for the possibility that we are living in a
computer simulation.

To this old jack tar it appears that Mr Bostrom is peering up his own
arsehole in the hope of seeing the sky.

That at least explains why the movie (and the sequel) was such a load of
crap!


If we are living in a computer program itjust has to be a Micro$oft
one - otherwise how would life be so shitty?

Unless the need is mutual to all parties involved, your solutions to
problems are pragmatic not ethical.
