5 Reasons We Live In A Simulation

[Gortex]

While I agree the actual nature of reality is far deeper than our perception of it I think the simulation hypothesis on its own is a little to simplistic , it may be a part of the story in combination with Susskind's holographic principle where the Universe is made of 2D information played across the surface of a Black Hole , our perception of 3 dimensions is the same as that of a video game character who's interactions are played out on a 2D surface which is perceived to be 3 dimensional.

Whatever the truth of reality may be our ability to theorise about it may be part of the reason for its existence.
