Those creatures, in the infinity of time, could in turn create their own intelligent creatures.
And so on, and so forth.
This results in an infinity of intelligent creatures, where only the infinite minority are in the 'real world'
Whats the chances that you and me are those creatures?
Very thoughtful Placebo. I wonder, in creating this virtual world, what boundaries or laws would have to be placed. The intelligent creatures will figure out that their world had an origin and will wonder who the intelligent creator is and what purpose they were created for.
