……这就是我们不得不面对的现实世界，而且没有任何迹象表明我们能对（假定存在的）模拟产生影响。如果我们的世界/宇宙真是一个模拟程序，那它模拟得也未免太逼真了。我也推荐去读肖恩·卡罗尔（Sean Carroll）的《大图景》（The Big Picture），第11章“怀疑一切是否可行？”专门探讨了这类思想实验（包括博斯特罗姆的理论）。2016年艾萨克·阿西莫夫纪念辩论会的主题就是“宇宙是一场模拟吗？”：……
…this is the world we have to deal with and there is no indication we can influence the (supposed) simulation. If our world/universe is a simulation, it is simply too good. I also recommend to read "The Big Picture" by Sean Carrol, chapter 11 "Is It Okay to Doubt Everything?" deals with these kinds of thought experiments (including Bostrom). The 2016 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate was about "Is the Universe a Simulation?":…
……广受欢迎的《创新者的窘境》那本书。我更喜欢它的续作，因为续作试图给出解决窘境的方案。书里包含了大量反直觉的真知灼见，强烈推荐。3. 肖恩·卡罗尔的《大图景》（The Big Picture）。这是我很久以来读过的最好的宇宙学书籍。4. 《首先，打破一切常规》。如果你是初任管理者，强烈建议读读这本书。5. 卡尔·纽波特的《深度工作》……
…to the popular Innovator's Dilemma book. I like the sequel much better because it tries to give solutions to the dilemma. The book packs tons of counter intuitive insights. Highly recommended. 3. The Big Picture by Sean Carrol. The best cosmology book I have read in a long while 4. First break all the rules. If you are a first time manager, I highly recommend reading this book. 5. Deep Work by Cal Newport.…
…books. This is one to pick if you want something impactful to your system of belief. I would also recommend a book I think is very similar to this (if for some reason Yudkowsky prose throws you off) "The Big Picture" from Sean Carroll, I think he introduces much of the same ideas in a very different manner.
I highly agree and also recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hVmeOCJjOU And I will add: The Big Picture: From the Big Bang to the Meaning of Life - with Sean Carroll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JsKwyRFiYY Mysteries of Modern Physics by Sean Carroll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBpR0LBsUfM
Entropy. Both in information and in thermodynamics, and how brilliantly they are connected. The audiobook "The Big Picture" by Sean Carroll has helped a lot.

作为一个只学过基础大学物理的门外汉（读这本书不需要物理底子，我只是想说明自己不是专家），我也投卡罗尔的《大图景》一票。
As a layperson with only basic undergraduate physics (not necessary for the book; just, I'm no expert), I'll second Carroll's The Big Picture.
……书。如果你想找一本能对你整个信念系统产生冲击的书，选它就对了。我还想推荐一本我觉得和它非常相似的书（如果你因为某些原因不太习惯尤德科夫斯基的文笔），肖恩·卡罗尔的《大图景》，我认为他用截然不同的方式介绍了许多相同的思想。

熵。无论是信息层面的熵还是热力学层面的熵，以及它们之间那令人拍案叫绝的联系。肖恩·卡罗尔的《大图景》有声书在这方面给了我很大帮助。
