Reply to comment by Plouw in Thoughts on Full Dive - Are we in one right now? by fignewtgingrich
Necessity is what I'm arguing about. Feelings like the ones primates have are relevant only in the context of primates. Apes thinking evolved humans will simulate them to learn about them is just as stupid as humans thinking post-humans would. One, because it's unnecessary since it's easier to create a literal physical zoo and two we don't waste a lot of energy doing ape simulations precise to the quantum level because it's expensive energy wise.

Why?

A physical zoo does not replace studying them in the wild.

Yet.

Because those emotions were created for a social environment with similar beings.
A physical zoo can be as big as reserve or even a planet. Terraforming is still cheaper than planet simulation.
You clearly underestimate how energy intensive full quantum level simulations are.

So maybe to research a creature better it would be beneficial to experience the emotions.

If we were to be a simulation, you have no idea what is cheap or not in the world that is creating our simulation.
>You clearly underestimate how energy intensive full quantum level simulations are.
You seem to be too confident in your ability to predict the motivations of something that you have no to very limited experience with.
