It is more likely that we live in a simulated reality than a real reality (2)

What this debate is aboutThis debate is about which it more likely when compared to the other, that we live in a simulated reality ? or that we live in a real reality ?Burden Of ProofBoth sides have a burden of proof in this debate.Pro will argue that its more likely that we live in a simulated reality than a real realityCon will argue that its more likely that we live in a real reality than a simulated realityPROBLEMS ?If you have any problem with the debate please post in the comments section first so we can try to come to an agreement before starting.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EXPECTATIONSIt is expected that both parties act in good faith, eg no semantics.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DefinitionsSimulated Reality = Simulated reality is the proposition that reality could be simulated—perhaps by computer simulation—to a degree indistinguishable from "true" reality. [1]Reality = Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or may be thought to be. [2]We = Anybody or anything reading this debate.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The argument that we most likely live in an simulated reality than an real reality.1) It is possible to create a simulated reality2) If something/s can create a simulated reality then it probably will3) If something/s does create a simulated reality it will probably create more than oneC1) Therefore its probable that simulated realities outnumber real realitiesC2) Therefore its more likely that something exists in a simulated reality than real realityC3) Therefore we are more likely to exist in a simulated reality than an real reality1) It is possible to create a simulated realityAnything that is not logically impossible is logically possible.2) If something/s can create a simulated reality then it probably willHere are some possible reasons that something/s would choose to create a simulated reality......1) Scientific/knowledge purposes - Running experiments in a real world is a pain, as you are confined to the natural laws in that real world. Running experiments in a virtual world is alot quicker, as you can by pass the natural world limitations and even set up scenarios which are difficult or impossible in the real world.2) Entertainment - Think of the Sims or Virtual pets......... but in this case the Sims and Virtual pets are alot more advanced than what we are used too.3) Curiously - Ever wondered what would happen in a simulated reality if we do xyz ? Well only one way to find out, and that's to create that simulated reality and do xyz.4) Boredom - Somethings like humans might watch football, some other things might create simulated realities, to each their own.5) Profit motive. $$$ 6) Popularity, If some one else has one, I want one too.3) If something/s does create a simulated reality it will probably create more than oneWith one simulated reality created, there are two possible outcomes in relation to how many simulated realities will be created either.........Set A) 1 created simulated reality (no more created after the first one)Set B) More than 1 simulated reality (anywhere between 1 and infinity)With one reality created, these two sets contain all possible outcomes of how many simulated realities are created. Basically either one sim and no more after that, or more than one, for example 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.....unto infinityI am no maths person, but Set B holds alot more possible outcomes than situation A, like 99.9999999%+ more than Set AConclusionsThe conclusion follow from the above premises.C1) Therefore its probable that simulated realities outnumber real realities (From P1,P2 & P3C2) Therefore its more likely that something exists in a simulated reality than real reality (From P1,P2,P3 & C1)C3) Therefore we are more likely to exist in a simulated reality than an real reality I look forward to Cons response.Sources[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://en.wikipedia.org...
