I get very tired of this nonsense argument. Consider that quantum mechanics is fundamental to every aspect of the reality we see. So by what laws does the “base reality” that is being simulated operate? Newtonian mechanics perhaps? Because that somehow would seem like a more “physical” reality to you? If the base reality operates according to some other set of laws than QM then how is this a proper simulation of it? How can it have computers if it can’t have the semiconductors that those computers rely on in “our reality”. Why is a non quantum reality simulating a quantum one and what the hell does the simulating world look like anyway? It might as well be the gods on Olympus. We haven’t come far in human understanding if this is where we’ve landed. And why is this crushing logic not obvious to the smart people who sometimes promote this self contradictory foolishness?
