Casey	We are certainly not in a simulation.	no comment
michelle	We are necessarily in a simulation.	Any reality that we can know is a simulation. And where the ultimate reality is, we are not.
Lukian The Wizard	We are probably not in a simulation.	Very interesting Vote.
MoEnzyme	I don't know.	Occam's razor would reject this as an unnecessary multiplication of entities with no additional explanative power. On the other hand, our growing capacity for computer simulation certainly makes our own simulation more plausible.
simul	We are probably not in a simulation.	It is altogether possible that a previously existing singularity generated our entire universe, something of a Matrix, as a subdimension in order to prolong a "big crunch". Although there is little evidence for it... except that we are, apparently, in a

Corey A Cook	We are probably in a simulation.	The huge gaps in my "Stream of Consciousness" can easily be attributed to the breakdowns inherent in all systems of simulation.
metahuman	I don't know.	The Matrix is a film series... I can sit atop a hill in California and look around. I'd watch the wind, the way everything acts and reacts, and even the colors. Imaginatively, I'd say that we are biological machines in a digital world.
Galt	It is impossible that we are in a simulation.	no comment
Gunit	We are certainly not in a simulation.	Uh, the movie was cool.. but not THAT cool. I have no reason to believe that we exist in a digital reality created by machines that use us as power sources. Whoa.
Matt Arnold	We are certainly not in a simulation.	no comment
Joe Dees	It is impossible that we are in a simulation.	no comment
JerryLee	We are certainly not in a simulation.	no comment
DJ dAndroid	We are probably not in a simulation.	I try not to argue in definitives, uncertainties abound! However if it's a simulacrum, it's a good one.
Heretician	private	no comment
d r i f t	We are probably not in a simulation.	Its a compelling argument but i don't believe prior Architects have made us "us". Loved the movie, read the arguments, dont believe it. For information on the argument www.simulation-argument.com - Nick Bostrom
Alex Future Bokov	We are probably not in a simulation.	no comment
ObfuscatoryAlias	I don't know.	Whackoffski mediocrity.
Cydonia	I don't know.	It wouldn't make sense to make judgement on this.
chippedlogic	We are probably not in a simulation.	simulation to the congrssion of random molecular bondiong and progression towards a perfect unchanging "evolutionary fit" being... more likely.
Pabreetzio	We are necessarily in a simulation.	The mind simulates reality.
Azareph	I don't know.	maybe not WE, but, what about ME? i don't belive necesarily machines doing it, but people is perverted like in "truman show" and "13th floor". however, Mind constructs a simulation of reality, so it applies?
		There is little evidence suggesting that we are in a simulation and no reason to be sure that we could detect it if we were. Unfortunately a few observable factors (e.g. Heisenberg) function just as they would have to in a simulation. Jury is out.

Jorrit	private	no comment
pickler	We are probably not in a simulation.	I don't mind the form of existance the human species exists in as long as free thought is guaranteed
archangelsin	We are certainly not in a simulation.	no comment
Fox	We are probably not in a simulation.	It is quite possible, yet not plausible that this could be true. A computer simulation I very much doubt, but perhaps another. What is reality, how would you define it?
falcox	We are probably not in a simulation.	Like I voted, probably not. But who knows, makes more sense to me than God does.
teh	I don't know.	no comment
letheomaniac	I don't know.	If we were in a simulation it would be impossible to tell 'from the inside'.
jfp1399	private	Whether or not this is a sim is irrelevant. It is, until further notice, all there is.
Bohandez	We are probably not in a simulation.	no comment
