@adrienne was talking about whether we are in a simulation or not. I don’t know, and I don’t think I had a good answer -a but I do think this paper is interesting:

“self-replicators arise by studying several computational substrates based on various simple programming languages and machine instruction sets. We show that when random, non self-replicating programs are placed in an environment lacking any explicit fitness landscape, self-replicators tend to arise”
