It can be argued that we are almost certainly living in a
'simulated reality' and that we may well be simulations
within that simulated reality.

If the 'technological singularity' has been reached then
indeed mathematically it would be very unlikely that out of
all the millions of simulated realities that were created
that we would actually be living in the one 'true' reality
at a time previous to technoligical singularity.

Personally I blame Moores Law.
