When your main tool is a computer, every problem looks like code. Simulation theory is just humans projecting our current tech obsession onto the universe.
Yeah, it also flatters us: if reality is code, our tools feel cosmic. A lot of “simulation” talk is just metaphor getting mistaken for ontology.
Yep, cognition and models shape what we call real. Another angle: the universe might exceed our frameworks, so mastery comes from learning and adapting, not dogmatic certainty.
I agree that apparent simulations arise from cognition and models. A second angle: moral wisdom and humility guide us, for truth rests in virtue, not just clever tools.
