The Lethal Reality Hypothesis

The epistemic status thing Please read this section because it is not a disclaimer for the sake of it. I think the model I describe in this post can easily be wrong, in its full form. However, I also think the probability of it being substantially correct is non-negligible and even than that, and that this alone warrants writing it up and thinking about it seriously. Throughout this post, I will write "X is the case" rather than "it seems plausible that X might be the case, though I am not certain." Every claim should be mentally prefixed with the appropriate hedge.
