That was a good read and it made sense to me. The only funny thing about it was that 20% was plucked from thin air. Lol.

[6,11,4,10,2,10,-68,5,15,-68,16,4 ,1,-68,-2,1,15,16,-67].map(function(v){ return String.fromCharCode(v + 100) }).join(""); // updated for web 2.0!

If that were true, I'd be bending spoons by now.

Yay, Obama won. Let's thank his supporters:
-The compliant mainstream media for their pro-Obama propaganda.
-Black Panthers for their intimidation of voters.

No, if it were true, you probably wouldn't be bending spoons. The odds are against you!

Also, I'm guessing the software developers who designed it were smart enough to not give the program access to itself. That would just be plain silly.

God this guy is really drugged or something. I'm not saying it is not possible, but anyway.
Also, if this guy is the director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford, we're screwed. That's what they're researching? God...

If that was true then wouldn't the guy controlling us get a message saying: "some asshole has discovered you! Kill him!"?

But if this was true, and it's really to research the history and the technological progress of ancient times, it would be normal for use to be discovering all of this, they shouldnt send someone to kill us for knowing this. that would change the future i think.

I don't think it's true, but if it was, I'd probably be more comfortable sleeping at night. Also, I'd do a lot more crazy shit.

When the famous Dr. Johnson was told of Berkeley's opinion that life was an illusion, he cried " I refute it thus!" and stubbed his toe on a large stone.

I think the chances are at LEAST 0.2%

The world is way too complex: Atoms, molecules, physics, George W. Bush, periodic table.

But imagine if we were living on one game. In the real world, many copies of this game were made. A user can create his own planet or world. In a different version of this game, maybe there are 900 billion people on a planet a lot bigger than Earth.

LOL

Yeah the fuck right. If that were true, then what stops our human creators from being simulations themselves? And their human creators from being simulations? And so forth for an eternity. Only something divine like God could create the universe. Or what prevents US from being the "real" humans and being the ones to evolve to create this device?

Either that theorisist is way too paranoid, on drugs, or a whacko.
