Whats the point of thinking reality isn't real? Its a "Turtles all the way down" regress,(reply>), It does seem like the new tech religion and I find it fascinating how these tech people think this is so likely. Seems like a gnostic metaphor to me but it's possibly true. But then almost everthing is possibly true.,(reply>), That's just like asking what's the point of contemplating reality whatsoever. It's in our nature first of all, we want to know the answers even if they're out of reach. Two, ideas like these are very fun to play with because they can alter a person's perspective on life and therefore change their behavior and attitude towards it. And if we are living in a simulation, then our attitudes towards all kinds of things would change, like religion, culture, science, philosophy etc. And if this simulation were to be "hackable" then thatd be very interesting as well and would be good to know about so one could somehow use it to their advantage to advance further in life,(reply>), What you mean?,(reply>), Indeed, it's effectively just as likely that the simulator universe is also simulated. George addresses this in the q&amp;a of his SXSW talk.<br><br>And nothing about the simulation argument makes claims to unreality or metaphysics.
