According to John Wheeler we create reality on the quantum scale. Hence, the tautological premise that reality exists within reality still holds as proof of simulation. Despite the deception of a materialistic belief based on illusion.
This argument against the mere possibility of the simulation theory does not rely on human nature. That is counterproductive. Only on a superficial level does it apply.
Quantum theory says that the illusion becomes objective by collapse of the wavefunction.
Reality reifies itself via observation, which creates reality.
Oh ye of little faith.
There is ample evidence that our universe and countless others are a simulation. I suggest you search "the Reality Self-Simulation Principle" by Christopher Langan and prepare to have your mind blown.
It is simply by the mere fact that "reality exists within reality"...
We Live in a Simulation. The evidence is everywhere. All you have to do is look. (youtube.com)
This youtube video presents the thought-provoking idea that our reality is in actuality a simulation. It touches on the idea of God being the "ultimate simulation". And we are mere images.

The longstanding, timeless tradition of mathematics hints at a world beyond our senses. One that has eluded experimentation as far back as we can remember. However oftentimes, our sense betray our...
I am truly glad you asked me this question as it shines a light on something that remains rather obscure. It is possible to "step out of the matrix", however, one must be "chosen" by the "source of all that exists". At times I wonder why I was "chosen" (note: the scare quotes around "chosen", as...
Unlike you I do believe that rationalism has its drawbacks. For instance, as Quintessence said above, extremist materialism is logically flawed. Therefore, the only valid argument to consider is God and spirituality as equally valid aspects of reality.
While I admit that much of the world does...
A single word that captures my views on this topic is: Absolutely.
E.g. The Tao says that opposites must contrast in order to distinguish one from the other.
Another e.g. Buddhism says that the world is maya or illusion. Which fits nicely into non-materialistic Quantum phenomenon.
Atheism blindly asserts that the world is exclusively material without regard to Metaphysical logic.
It disregards the logic of metaphysics and then sneakily tries to persuade the masses to join in on this fallacious reasoning. As if religion, even the logical kind, has no merit.
It is...
In the moment I closed my eyes I saw blackness reaching singularity in less than a second. And then nothing had meaning. It was the death of all the pain I've been nursing. There was no memory of anything. That is what it means to "live in the moment" as is the evil being promoted by some. A...
That metaphysics is slowly inching its way into modern day science is a testament to humanity's ambitious strive for perfection.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that consciousness continues after the death of the body, despite all beliefs to the contrary. These beliefs that have held...
I may have been incorrect in saying that survival of the fittest is not on the spiritual level. As Quantum darwinism would imply.
We can quantify spirituality via spiritual unity with all of reality. An unbound, limitless existence that transcends the physical world.
God can become both non-existence and can become non-absent as well. But it requires the conduit or observer to summon Him. God's entry into our world is dependent on the observer.
All logical conclusions point to a self-simulative universe.
The gods exist outside of time and space. The only way they can intervene is through a conduit. Or individual who experiences mind expansion whereby the mind occupies all realities including that of the gods.
