Rather than assuming that we're living in a simulation, lets assume for the moment that we're not. Then the logic of the argument suggests that our civilization is NOT going to survive long enough to create the simulations Elon Musk is suggesting. Now given that we're facing Global Warming, Nuclear War, Resource Exhaustion, Exponential population growth and other problems without current solutions I ask you this.
Is it more likely that we're living in a computer simulation we're not aware of or is it more likely that high energy civilizations with exponential growth have inherently limited lifespans?
