IN
THE
FUTURE
IT
WILL
BE
POSSIBLE
TO
BUILD
A
PERFECT
SIMULATION
OF
THIS
LIFE.
IN
ORDER
TO
BE
CONSIDERED
A
PERFECT
SIMULATION,
A
VIDEO
GAME
MUST
HAVE
THE
FOLLOWING
PROPERTIES:
»
THE
SENSORY
EXPERIENCE
FOR
A
PLAYER
MUST
BE
INDISTINGUISHABLE
FROM
CONSCIOUS REALITY.
»
IT
MUST
BE
POSSIBLE
TO
BUILD
ANOTHER
PERFECT
SIMULATION
INSIDE
THE
CURRENT
ONE.
IN
OTHER
WORDS,
NESTED
PERFECT
SIMULATIONS
MUST
BE
POSSIBLE.
THE
EXISTENCE
OF
A
PERFECT
SIMULATION
IMPLIES
THE
POSSIBILITY
OF
IMMORTALITY.
A
PERSON
COULD
ACHIEVE
IMMORTALITY
BY
STEPPING
INDEFINITELY
INTO
A
HIERARCHY
OF
PERFECT
SIMULATIONS.
AS
PART
OF
RELIGIOUS
FAITH,
ORTHODOX
ATARIOLOGISTS
BELIEVE
THAT
THIS
LIFE
IS
A
PERFECT
SIMULATION,
AND
THAT
IT
WILL
BE
POSSIBLE
TO
CREATE
A
PERFECT
SIMULATION
OF
THIS
LIFE
IN
THE
FUTURE.
NON-ORTHODOX
ATARIOLOGISTS
BELIEVE
THAT
LIFE
IS
JUST
AN
ORDINARY
VIDEO
GAME.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE 2nd CORNERSTONE IS AN ACT OF FAITH!
