michelleWe are necessarily in a simulation.
Any reality that we can know is a simulation. And where the ultimate reality is, we are not.
Lukian The WizardWe are probably not in a simulation.
Very interesting Vote.
MoEnzymeI don't know.
Occam's razor would reject this as an unnecessary multiplication of entities with no additional explanative power. On the other hand, our growing capacity for computer simulation certainly makes our own simulation more plausible.
simulWe are probably not in a simulation.
It is altogether possible that a previously existing singularity generated our entire universe, something of a Matrix, as a subdimension in order to prolong a "big crunch". Although there is little evidence for it... except that we are, apparently, in a

Corey A CookWe are probably in a simulation.
The huge gaps in my "Stream of Consciousness" can easily be attributed to the breakdowns inherent in all systems of simulation.
metahumanI don't know.
The Matrix is a film series... I can sit atop a hill in California and look around. I'd watch the wind, the way everything acts and reacts, and even the colors. Imaginatively, I'd say that we are biological machines in a digital world.
GaltIt is impossible that we are in a simulation.

GunitWe are certainly not in a simulation.
Uh, the movie was cool.. but not THAT cool. I have no reason to believe that we exist in a digital reality created by machines that use us as power sources. Whoa.
Matt ArnoldWe are certainly not in a simulation.

I try not to argue in definitives, uncertainties abound! However if it's a simulacrum, it's a good one.

d r i f tWe are probably not in a simulation.
Its a compelling argument but i don't believe prior Architects have made us "us". Loved the movie, read the arguments, dont believe it. For information on the argument www.simulation-argument.com - Nick Bostrom
Alex Future BokovWe are probably not in a simulation.

ObfuscatoryAliasI don't know.
Whackoffski mediocrity.
CydoniaI don't know.
It wouldn't make sense to make judgement on this.
chippedlogicWe are probably not in a simulation.
simulation to the congrssion of random molecular bondiong and progression towards a perfect unchanging "evolutionary fit" being... more likely.
PabreetzioWe are necessarily in a simulation.
The mind simulates reality.
AzarephI don't know.
maybe not WE, but, what about ME? i don't belive necesarily machines doing it, but people is perverted like in "truman show" and "13th floor". however, Mind constructs a simulation of reality, so it applies?
There is little evidence suggesting that we are in a simulation and no reason to be sure that we could detect it if we were. Unfortunately a few observable factors (e.g. Heisenberg) function just as they would have to in a simulation. Jury is out.

I don't mind the form of existance the human species exists in as long as free thought is guaranteed
archangelsinWe are certainly not in a simulation.

FoxWe are probably not in a simulation.
It is quite possible, yet not plausible that this could be true. A computer simulation I very much doubt, but perhaps another. What is reality, how would you define it?
falcoxWe are probably not in a simulation.
Like I voted, probably not. But who knows, makes more sense to me than God does.
tehI don't know.

letheomaniacI don't know.
If we were in a simulation it would be impossible to tell 'from the inside'.
jfp1399privateWhether or not this is a sim is irrelevant. It is, until further notice, all there is.
