Carl Sagan Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You've seen The Matrix. According to Swedish superbrain Nick Bostrom, it's actually extremely likely you are living in a computer simulation: http://www.simulation-argument.com/ Do you take the red pill or do you take the blue pill? :frantics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 The Matrix was a tremendous movie, and did what really great films do and captured the zeitgeist. It's interesting when art anticipates science and the film came out in 1999, with the original "simulation argument" paper not until 2001 I think. I was in Australia when the Matrix sequels were being filmed so they invited me on set. Took part in the street scene with hundreds of "Agent Smiths". Sadly, the second and third movies didn't hit the same (very dizzy) heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 That movie sucked. I believe that you're confusing the first movie with either the second or third one. If that's so then I agree. Otherwise..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 No I meant the first one Blade Runner is my favorite sf film. At least we agree on Blade Runner - a classic in every sense of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sorry Carl Sagan. I think that's called "lowering the tone". I guess I should have gone to COYR if I'd wanted a high brow discussion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
