    there’s lots of physics that cannot be described in algorithmic terms, and (as best I misunderstand it) quantum is the most that

            i’m just kinda skeptical of suggesting we live in a computer simulation

            tens of thousands of years ago, people looked up into the night sky or a raging tempest and projected human-like traits onto it.

            Now instead of seeing an angry father figure in the stars, we’re surrounded by computers so we look up (or down, in quantum cases), and see a desktop environment. It’s… awful convenient.

              I wasn’t suggesting that, I just meant that a theory can be algorithmic while working with probability distributions rather than deterministic values.
