Eu acredito que a Hipótese da Simulação de Nick Bostrom seja uma psedociência que não deve ser considerada. Mas ainda sim deve ser analisada e refutada de forma coerente e clara, e é isso que falamos aqui, sobre o universo como um sistema matemático, computacional e simulável, mas ainda sim, não estamos em uma Matrix.
