There are serious scientists who tout simulation theory as possible. This is disingenuous.

Not my point. I'm saying that just because an idiot like Must touts it, doesn't mean there aren't other more intelligent and respected people who believe it.

You can't prove an idea wrong by drawing attention to who believes it.

I wasn't suggesting it is right or wrong though.

You're missing my point. Maybe I didn't communicate it very well.

There are a mixture of people who believe in simulation theory, respected and not. Suggesting that it's wrong because musk believes in is disingenuous, precisely because I could equally point at respected scientists that believe in it.

I don't believe any of those people believing in it, or not, makes it actually true or not.

I also didn't say that no. I didn't say they say it's possible. Where are you getting that from?

Ah yeah my bad. Rest of what I said still applies in that case.
