The Synthropic Principle - Part 2

I've previously stated that it is almost impossible for us NOT to be in a simulation.

Here's the inescapable logic that leads me to believe this...

A) It is obviously possible to simulate intelligence in any Turing-complete machine.

B) Once that level of technology is achieved, it will be used by the advanced civilization for any number of imagined functions, projections, tests.


Note - we are on the cusp of there, and few serious scientists believe we can't get the rest of the way.


C) The number of intelligent agents simulated in devices by the advanced civilization at any given time (the inner inhabitants) will vastly outnumber the number of individuals in that civilization (the outer inhabitants).

D) Alternately, the number of inner inhabitants will not be significantly lower than the number of outer inhabitants.


Note - How many simulations will YOU run before you engage in the average negotiation you care about?


E) The civilization 's inner simulations will run at a faster clock speed than the outer civilization.

F) Therefore, the time perceived by the inner simulations will be orders of magnitude higher than that perceived by the outer inhabitants.

G) Given time, the inner civilizations may potentially create their own simulations.... as we are about to do...

H) It's turtles all the way down.

I) Therefore, most likely each of us is a turtle.

Sounds like the perpetual motion machine of nonsense to me by those who are incapable of reaching logical conclusions???
