If the number of simulators is infinite, then the chances of us being at any on particular position in the chain would be as close to 0% as mathematics allows.
Really? I've heard that exact line of reasoning to argue that the Big Bang *had* to have happened. An infinite number of possibilities and viola, you have it.
we can assume that the programmers are indifferent to us
Or they care deeply and suffer greatly, but the simulation demands these things for completeness of understanding the reactions of the simulated subjects.
We can infer that time runs much slower for the programmers
You presume you understand time. They may have no trouble at all accessing all points simultaneously and what we think of as time is merely an artifact of running the simulation, or part of the basic investigation.
We can infer that (unless the simulation started very recently and is going to end in a relatively short time that the universe that the programmers live in is far more information dense than our own
Or... we only think we see detail, being deceived by the simulation . The things actually investigating detail at that level are fairly few. Just provide the details in those results and let news convince the rest. Then you "make things happen" with a macro instead of applying the detail. Much like FPS.
So either our "simulation" is going to be short lived or the programmers are unimaginably different from us.
That last is kind of a cop out as it negates the ability to infer anything at all, which leads me to infer that you actually see things more like I do.
"to derive by reasoning or implication : conclude from facts or premises" If you mean to conclude from premises, yes (if said premises are sufficiently detailed). If you mean from facts, no. There are no facts to suggest we're in a VR.
Nothing you wrote was detailed enough to be other than a fable. Perhaps location, industry and work type might help it become believable, if 84+ per week could ever be believable.
You're thinking fashion shoots. Normal coverage? Not even close to that expensive. Those are also professionals, not some unknown college kid. He was asking for a cash pillow, not compensation.
Bzzt! No logic switcheroos allowed. What makes you think he wants to make other people's lives suck equally? He didn't prevent them from succeeding. I do believe the animus is towards taking his success and doling it to others without his permission (and off of his brow sweat). Not at all the same thing as his wanting to make their lives suck.
This attempt (it's a small portion of a larger effort) to force the general public to accept pronouns deemed correct by a minority is what's Orwellian about this.
At least Republicans don't rub their thumbs around on crystals hoping to improve their karma and believe that men are the source of all evil...
See, I can point to a minority and act as if they're representative of the whole as well. All sides have their Pajama Boys. Try not to shatter your teeth when you jerk your knee.
OK, here you go - you are wrong. Walls are not confined to buildings, nor are they confined to brick or cinder block. Stones do not come in set sizes and shapes and some will not bond with mortar the same as others (and brick does not bond like cinder block does). In fact, differently manufactured bricks will bond differently. I have worked construction and I have built walls of brick, stone and even sloped walls of non-mortared stone. They are not at all the same.
Depends on the circumstances. Doctors indeed get sued for malpractice - leaving surgical instruments inside, prescribing the wrong drugs, etc. It's not at all an uncommon occurrence either.
Of course. Especially of eras such as this that we really know little about. The entire name Cambrian Explosion came about because of the scarcity of any fossils before that period. Then we started finding their ancestors and the explosion now just looks like an expansion of certain characteristics.
I'm not sure if you were going for satire but "Wikipedia, who ironically holds a higher standard to verification of information than you do." is laughable in the extreme. Wikipedia is rife with crap.

Hush, you'll put a ding in his self-loathing.
If you believe the UN is favorable towards the US in any way, shape or form, all I have to say to you sir or madam is YAAFM.
"They need government money to be profitable." That is an oxymoron if by profitable you mean making profit from your own efforts.

"making up anything they want and saying they like it and that's the way it is just because it's cool"
Pretty much describes a lot of theoretical physics. Strings, anyone?

Those people are rarely in the group he delineated.
They will never relinquish their paranoias, regardless of logic or evidence. It's in their nature.

Uh, no. The sad truth is that a degree has been sold as universally desirable. It is not.
Keep in mind that a graduate != educated. It's just a time marker.
It is a well known device and distinctive looking. It does not look like glasses.
If they pull it out and start taking video without permission, they leave quickly.
The ones with the blue tint are very painful.

If you DO use it at an ATM, how do you authorize it? Mine requires a PIN to use at an ATM.
How cute, a non sequitur disguising an ad hominum.
