Whether we're living in a computer simulation is an absolutely fascinating subject to think about, and I do not dismiss the idea, but do a significant number of people really believe it?
When people are living their daily lives and interacting, but in the backs of their minds they have a loose grip on reality, to me it's a new low in spiritual degradation. Not only is reality meaningless, as a classical nihilist might affirm. Whether it has meaning or not is irrelevant because reality isn't real.
Aside from the philosophical argument, I think computer science has a good line of argument against simulation theory. Unless the metaverse transcends logic/computation itself, then computer science actually has a lot to say about the topic. Even universe size computers can't bend some rules.
I humbly suggest the reason the universe we live in does not use Real numbers is because you couldn't simulate that with a Turing machine.
Again.
We've been trying to roll out a patch to address that along with several other, related issues (you can probably guess which ones those are), but we don't have an ETA yet; you wouldn't believe how long it takes for this thing's unit tests to complete.
