○ " Computers will continue to become increasingly powerful to the point that virtual worlds will become indistinguishable from reality, and, eventually, AI will grow to become fully intelligent, allowing the creation of human scale minds, or the uploading of actual human minds into virtual worlds.

○ The desire to create simulations of history will always exist, as even futuristic machine people will still find value in historical simulations or games based on history. The advancing power of supercomputers will make it possible for billions of copies of such historical sims to exist, all filled with real minds, or played by minds entering them.

◉ Because there are billions of chances you could be in a simulation in the future, to only one chance that you are actually living the past that will someday be simulated, you are almost certainly living in a simulation right now, with a certainty of billions to one. " - Nick Bostrom
