From Bostrom's philosophical Simulation Argument to channelled New Age spirituality, philosophers, mystics, science-fiction writers and scientists have been toying for some time with the notion that we are living in a simulation.

Suppose it's true.

In that case, whose simulation are we living in?

David Brin has a humorous tongue-in-cheek take about it:  More >

"Global Renaturalization"
11-05-04, 10:02 am (PDT)
I would sumise the hope..... Not for the world
for the world is the world and will go on with or
without us as it has for millions of years but
the hope for humanity and mammality lies somewhere
behind us. True one can never go home but
we are clever and we have developed techniques
of Local Renaturalization.... the key is to extend these
towards a global embrace. Global Renaturalizaton
would be a tremendous undertaking and require
global cooperation but with emerging disciplines
like earth system science, engineering, medicine
and design .... along with global positioning satellites
and the internet and environmental databases
and organic and smart systems technologies
we are moving towards such a senario. True the old
Earth is gone and what we have left is sort of a humptydumpty
piecemeal, juryrigged mirror ball mozaic of sorts but I think much
renaturalization could be accomplished with the human
or mammalian elements and considerations in play and account.
The earth can not be restored to its pristine and original
virgin state true but we can I venture do somethings to counter
destructive trends and habits. Let us do this then learn and practice the displines of renaturalization and apply them on a global scale. The futures welfare depends on it.  More >
