Comment on Ask HN: Why do half of Internet users think we are living in a simulation?

Comments

It's unlikely to be half of all internet users.

* The 4 million internet users that self selected to answer a philosophical question on Matrix type simulations are unlikely to respond to general questions in the same manner as, say, 4 million K-Pop fans.

* Neither of the above groups are likely to be a good and true representation of the mean responses of the 5.3 billion internet users worldwide.

Along your line of thinking, simple question: do set even know if they’re unique users? Maybe one person or small group is racking up those numbers.. are there controls?
