The theory, which I probably misunderstand because I have a similar level of education to a macaque, states that because a simulated world would eventually develop to the point where it creates its own simulations, it’s then just a matter of probability that we are in a simulation.

I mean, I doubt it. Trump is a real estate guy. I am sure he is gonna “official act” his way to using eminent domain or some other such nonsense to transfer numerous large corporations holdings to “the government” (a subsidiary of Trump, Inc.).
He will “nationalize” tons of industries just so he can reap the rewards… There won’t be rewards to reap because this will destroy the economy and trust in the economy being fair at all. (Already a lot of distrust in markets being fair, this will weaponize that valid distrust)
Well I could show you my gun collection but at this point I’m fairly certain that you would just shit yourself in fear.
Anyway, have fun being unarmed with the state of the world today. The far right will continue stockpiling weapons and you’ll be knocking on the doors of guys like me if and when they finally decide to use them.
That’s the thing that you’re not getting bud. The far right isn’t going to be using their guns against the military or the government. They’re going to be using the guns against us.

Typical ammosexual trait: can’t distinguish between common sense and cowardice 🙄

Thanks, I am and so is the vast majority of people in a radius of 1000+ miles from me.
The far right will continue stockpiling weapons
Because ridiculously lax laws and even more lax enforcement allows them to. They’re like politicians with bribes in that aspect.

Nah, I think I’ll just wait indoors until someone much more emotionally stable deals with it after your Rambo wannabe antics have gotten you killed.
The far right isn’t going to be using their guns against the military or the government. They’re going to be using the guns against us
And why is that? Because of the lack of laws, regulations, and enforcement. Not because wannabe tough guys like you don’t have enough penis extenders that go boom.
Of course, I’d do all the obvious things, such as getting a bigger house, a newer car, and quitting work, but beyond that, I have no interest in an extravagant lifestyle—or at least that’s what I tell myself....
I know a guy who’s worth over 10 and probably closer to $50 million. He still lives in the same house that he did when he graduated university. He drives a 10-year-old car and his son who is one of my best friends drives the car that he had before that as a handme down.
Some people flaunt it. Some people build it quietly.
This gentleman that I know has bought both of his son’s houses cash so they have no mortgages. He owns a million dollar cottage on a beautiful Lake and another property on the panhandle in Florida. You would think that he’s on social security though if you just saw him bumbling about his yard.
I repeat it because guy I was chatting with acts like USSR didn't ally with Germany and didn't split another country. If invading and splitting a country supported by a treaty is not an alliance, I don't know what else is.
Its not about assange himself, more the military guys he exposed, whom never got persecuted for their crimes even when the whole world knew what they did.
I mostly agree with you, but economics is at best a heaping tablespoon of math and a sack of human behavioral psychology. Those guys really only know what’s going on 6 months after it happened.

I have a coworker who thinks I’m this guy cuz it’s apparently absurd for us to add the 5 most popular dependencies on the planet to our environment and I’m sentencing us to the doom of dependency hell.
The Factorio dev. I’ve heard he’s a shit person but not dove deeper into it.
Edit; did some looking and yeah, he’s a shitbag. He claimed that Statutory Rape was a SJW term, and that teachers should be able to seduce their students as long as they weren’t violent.
Then he used a dev blog to link to a racist misogynistic jackass, and when called out on it (The guy just wanted a disclaimer on the link) Korvex went on a rant about cancel culture and then tried to defend the misogynistic views, claiming that “maybe there’s a reason why there are so few women coders”

The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim?
