Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks there’s a ‘very high’ chance the universe is just a simulation
We trust the scientists around us to have the best grasp on how the world actually works. rofl

it doesn't matter how the world works. All we want to know is that someone is controlling it so we can get back to consuming.Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks there’s a ‘very high’ chance the universe is just a simulation

As nutty as this is, it's not dangerous, because it isn't going anyplace. It's just another example of how unhelpful politicizing scientific issues can be.[a quote from George Will] "... criminalize skepticism about the supposedly “settled” conclusions of climate science."
George Will is getting a bit nuttier himself as he gets a bit older. [We are contemporaries so I am permitted to say this, knowing I am pigeonholing myself as well.] There is no better example of a George Will-ism than his: "Authoritarianism, always latent in progressivism..." He makes the error of over qualifying with inclusion of "always" and then suggests the non sequitur of authoritarianism coming out of progressiveness without any argument in support of the connection. He throws this statement out as though it is self-evident truth that needs no questioning and no supporting argument.
Most of us would be cautious to make such a claim that doesn't seem self-evident nearly so much as contradictory, but not George. He puts a spoonful of his jam on your toast and expects you to eat it without asking the flavor first.

Please post a (reputable) link to his exact words saying this and not a link to some crap website for delusional moronic hysterical conservatives. Because there is nothing there supporting your stupid statement.
He said it was a "possibility" , not a very high chance.
Why is it that the dumb anti-intellectual conservatives hate Tyson so much? Could it be because he has an IQ above 95?

"So at this year's 2016 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate at the American Museum of Natural History, which addressed the question of whether the universe is a simulation, the answers from some panelists may be more comforting than the responses from others.
Physicist Lisa Randall, for example, said that she thought the odds that the universe isn't "real" are so low as to be "effectively zero."
A satisfying answer for those who don't want to sit there puzzling out what it would mean for the universe not to be real, to be sure.
But on the other hand, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who was hosting the debate, said that he thinks the likelihood of the universe being a simulation "may be very high.""
Just think what a douche the simulator would have to be to simulate something called a futurecurrents.
this should go straight to the onion as it pure poltical comedy.
I thought you claimed to be a libertarian.
you really don't understand the politics you support piezoe. you need to get past the slogans and understand that when the IRS targerts conservatives that is progressives progressing towards and authoritarian state.
Progressives are progressing to a big govt authoritarian state like the soviet state.
that is what their progress is and that is why those of us who love liberty must remind you lefties what you are attempting to progress to. When a progressive like Soros speaks of open society... he speaks of the people being open to doing whatever the world govt tells them to do. He does not want local govt officials getting in the way. hence their borders are open.

the dirty little secret of socialism is what happens to you if you disobey
wheras in capitalism if you get caught you can just hire a lawyer
either way, your fate will be decided by how much you can bribe
socialism?Capitalism? Makes no difference to me. Both would be perfect if men were untouchable.

Sigh.....
So you lied. He did not that it's a very high probability. He said it MAY be. And that is probably out of context and he was referring to what others think. Another example of lying conservatives.

Why is it that cultural marxists like yourself just can't stand the truth?
Any facts that didn't agree with marxist tyrants in russia or china were verboten, with penalty of banishment or death.
Now, cultural marxists employ similar tactics. People like futurecurrents demand that only their side be considered legitimate and any other conclusions are illegitimate and must be punished.
It should be the very first sign to anyone who can think that they are being lied to by these thugs.
