Abstract

Abstract According to veridicalism, if a subject’s beliefs have always been elicited by a computer simulation that wholly and perfectly simulates the world W it is a simulation of, and that is as open-ended as W is, then most of their beliefs are true. In this paper I examine David Chalmers’ argument that a subject’s being wrong about the fundamental nature of the entities that their everyday beliefs refer to does not render those beliefs false and show that it is unconvincing.
