ufology, I'm afraid I can't answer your questions.

ufology, I agree dreams are a subjective reality and that a simulated universe would not be natural and that the simulants' universe would be real to them but not to the simulators.

Commenting On Bostrom ufology, I'm not sure what you mean by "you're catching on". It's not as if I wasn't open to the idea of a simulated universe.

Commenting On Bostrom Fractal cosmology doesn't sound very plausible and it has the same problems as a finite universe--presumably there are boundaries between these supposed universes. How and why the boundaries would or could exist and what they would be made of is apparently not addressed...

Commenting On Bostrom ufology, I don't think what constitutes natural is a subjective paradigm but reality might be considered relative. What the dreamer experiences in a dream is real to him but not in the waking state. And the physical world is real to us but is an illusion relative to the...

Commenting On Bostrom Stephen Dedalus, My argument on the infinity of the universe is not based entirely on the premise that the universe is everything. There are 2 other important points I mentioned which make the finitude of the universe impossible. My argument isn't at all circular and I...

Commenting On Bostrom Stephen Dedalus, Refuting Bostrum assumes he is refutable and his arguments invalid. There is nothing refutable in his argument except the ethical factor. Knowing that something is not possible that can't be conceived is not privy to any particular person. It is...

Commenting On Bostrom Stephen Dedalus, I already read those articles. If we can't conceive of something it can't exist. Also, a brain cannot process so many data simultaneously because it would have to be much larger and too large to fit the body. A much larger body would have the same...

Stephen Dedalus, The simulators would not be necessarily unknowable, it wouldn't be projecting our own limitations onto them, and it is not imposing arbitrary limits on them, there's just no one who would be able to do what you suggest or it wouldn't be very likely, and there is no evidence...

Stephen Dedalus, My point is that the computer would be able to track trillions of lives but not the simulators, they would not be able to keep track of very many.

Stephen Dedalus, The simulators would not know right from wrong so they would not punish or reward. Also, they could not themselves track trillions of lives, or perhaps a lot more.

Stephen Dedalus, Re: Bostrum Ethics behind running such a simulation--what a joke that is. What Bostrum is saying is the same as religion placing moral strictures on society so that people would behave ethically for fear of going to hell and look how well that worked. Also, most people will...

By computational model are you refering Seth Lloyd's theory (Programming the Universe, 2006) (I subsequently found the name) or simulated reality?

There will be no disclosure of any significance because ufology is controlled by the same people who run the cover-up. Karla Turner said the ones most against abductees were ufologists. And most ufologists are ambiguous and apologetic. The Obscurantists use what's called controlled opposition so...

Kandinsky, OK, but there are several other errors in your interpretations. I was not at all distancing myself from Dr. Jacobs and no way would I do that, I was merely pointing out that the mental health professions have nothing to do with Dr. Jacobs himself since he is not a mental health...

I am doing this comment only as a rebuttal to Kandinsky in a thread on the Jacobs-Woods debate as it was closed up, not as a thread on that subject. My references to Freud etc., may be out of date but they are still very relevant, and there are more recent references that can used (e.g...

It is disturbing to see fallacies promoted especially on a site supposed to be for truth. Skeptics have their own forums, they shouldn't be polluting our forums. Ist of all, there is proof the abductions are real. 2nd Jacobs had a lot of credibility before and still does. 3rd, Emma Woods has no...

I haven't read The Universe Solved but I have read the Amazon info on it and I have heard the Red Ice interview and read other information on the topic on the Internet. Some of the points used by Elvidge or others can't be used as evidence, like UFOs, amazing coincidences, or the predominance of...
