  • Downvoting doesn’t bother me. Feels like you took a hard left with this whole “If you’re thin-skinned, then leave” thing.

    I like to see downvotes, they show me if people hate something versus not being interested. If someone is downvoting everything, the community isn’t for them. Opinions and disagreement are good, trolling is not.

    I’m definitely not going out of my way to conduct unpaid market research about it.


















  • What is the main point of the thought experiment?

    If we consider a possibility from all sides, then whether or not we could similate a universe that follows different physics is one of those sides. We don’t have the power to do that, but we can create programs that simulate different physics. Stands to reason that not every universe may follow the same fundamental laws.

    I don’t agree that it’s equally unlikely to be the first as the last, either, if the universes branch off. A tree has thousands of leaves and only one trunk.
