I’m a huge fan of simulation theory with only two minor exceptions. One is the simulation part and the other is the theory part. Other than that, it’s a real humdinger. (I’d rate simulation theory well above the theories of gravity and relativity, but well below the theory of everything; well, mine, anyway. Everyone else’s theory of everything can go suck an egg.) What we call reality is not a simulation, it’s a dreamstate. It’s not a reproduction, reflection or representation of a realer reality as the term simulation implies, it’s strictly a stand-alone thing.
