    If we’re a simulation, where did the creatures simulating us come from?

    All this does is kick everything up a level.

      Yeah no theory of science, philosophy or computers is going to save us from the “prime mover” paradox.

      But if we can prove that a universe can be “created” via simulation in our own universe, now statistically speaking it becomes clear that simulations are “cheap” and therefore it’s likely we live in one.
