    That’s so many nested assumptions, lol:

    Assumption table

    1. Graduate student in academia
    2. Running a simulation for data
    3. For a conference
    4. Haskell

    The probability value of all four being true simultaneously approaches ≈0%

    Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.

      Come on, it doesn’t work like this. You can disprove the funny theory only if you give us an even more ridiculous one in it’s stead.

      Most of it is empty. The trick is lazy evaluation.

        Yeah, it uses a simplified model unless you look too close. That’s how you get those funny quantum effects. Although, I have to say, great sativa, dude

      I mean, if it’s really a simulation, all of that would be… simulated.
