the wording was "something" not someone, which indicated the ancient AI.

Meaning of life? 'Am I alone'.
We existed as a simulation to answer that one question. Then, after a while the Creator placed small slices of his energy into his simulation. Why? to experience it 'life' from 'inside the machine'.
Blessed Be.

He also said that the best ratio of Truth to Fabrication...that we could expect from him, was 75/25.

Interesting. I read a bunch of what was said in the threads posted in the OP and didn't see that said anywhere. I'm not doubting what you say, but could you link where he said that specifically? If true, then this puts everything into a completely different perspective and his story was most likely up to 75% nonsense..

Then you notice - a few of your fellow edge travellers are still alive and well and speaking about what they know. How is this? because they live by the rule of 75.
75% truth or below mixed with a massive dose of horse crap and the powers that be obey the rules and leave you alone and your readers are free to try disseminate the truth from false hood. Go over the 75 and you are fair game for a short sharp drop off a bridge.
Do I believe the 75% rule? hell yes I do. You can see it day in day out around this subject matter. Dr Greer obviously to me took the raw absolute truth and threw it onto the tabel and is in my opinion back peddling like a mo'fo to get under the radar once more and hit the magic numbers.
we are there. I worked on Pent Quad cores during the transition from P3's... and these were only the public joint ventures. Applied was already working on quantum computers 10 years ago. Simply mad rantings from an attention seeker. The user is still here using a log in he started up in conjunction with his other account originally to boost... he's not surfing the stars, still surfing the forum. And has already posted in this thread.

Yes we have some very powerful computers but we are not there yet. We are talking quantum computers strung together but small enough to fit in tight space craft. That is what is necessary for beyond speed of light travel, or even close to it. You are not just computing one jump but many and that is where the power is needed. Otherwise you are just a bug splattered on a windshield. Lol.

Thanks for the quote, it's absolutely appreciated. Now, I don't mean to be nit-picky, but in order to put this quote in total context, can you link the page this was posted on? Context is important, even though he did admit to agreeing with this 75 percent rule.
I will say this. This does bum me out. It's disappointing. There is always a catch. ATS has seen many stories like this, but not so many backed (ok, I can't say "backed" but not entirely doubted..) by well respected members. It's not so much disappointing because his story is likely not completely true, because if so, then we are pretty much screwed, heh....
It's disappointing and a bummer for those like me because I believe humanity needs to move past this mundane state of reality of which we all seemingly are forced to live in with no advancement beyond the tiny little box we currently live in. In other words, we need a boost into the realm of fantastic and wonderful things, a break away from this state of living to work like slaves perpetually in a cycle of nothing amazing. Working to live, living to work. I believe we are meant for much more, and I believe many also feel the same.
I don't mean to go off into the deep end, but I think about these things often and it's a reason I'm attracted to threads like this. Again, I apologize for what may be perceived as somewhat of a rant..
