>> Dear Clarissa,
>>
>> Thanks for bring attention to the simulation argument again and
>> adding the dream argument to that (until now a discussion on this
>> topic did not seem to take off yet, and I was starting to lose
>> hope...perhaps a discussion for another time, another day:)!
>>
>> I really like the quote of Zhuangzi in the dream argument:
>>
>> "He who dreams of drinking wine may weep when morning comes; he who
>> dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt. While he is
>> dreaming he does not know it is a dream, and in his dream he may even
>> try to interpret a dream. Only after he wakes does he know it was a
>> dream. And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that
>> this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe they are awake,
>> busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man
>> ruler, that one herdsman ‑ how dense!"
>>
>> Perhaps we are trying to figure out what (computer) simulation is
>> while at the same time being unaware of being in one ourselves? It
>> has such a powerful 'meme' through out history...!
>>
>> Perhaps we are a division of 'Brain Carrying Body Avatar's' created
>> by the Universe so it could see itself (or ourselves from different
>> perspectives)...thanks again Avi for posting the Tedtalk by Henry
>> Markram
>> http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/henry_markram_supercomputing_the_brain_s_secrets.html "The Universe evolved a brain to see
>> itself.."
