Consciousness Through the Prism of the Simulation Argument

Consciousness Through the Prism of the Simulation Argument | TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History: "There's a cool article at Vice at the moment titled "Whoa, Dude, Are We Inside a Computer Right Now?", which discusses the idea that we are living inside a computer simulation. This isn't something new to us here at the Grail - we've covered Nick Bostrom's thoughts on the topic previously (e.g. "The Matrix in the Mainstream"). The Vice piece though talks to Rich Terrile, a planetary scientist with NASA, who is also exploring the concept that our universe - and the conscious beings within it - is one great simulation (possibly within another simulation, and so on...turtles all the way down!)."
