  1. also, if we live in a simulation then the chances are the beings that created MY simulation is also the product of another being's simulation. and that being too would more than likely be the product of another simulation and so on and so on into infinity AND BEYOND! so, NO, we don't live in a simulation and elon musk is an idiot. I think these discussions are fun as thought experiments but they shouldn't be taken too seriously. no more seriously than the crazy notion of the "mandela effect." millions of people swear by the mandela effect and I think that's both sad AND dangerous. musk ISN'T simply entertaining the slight chance that the simulation theory is real but he's stating it AS FACT! and that too is dangerous. do we really need ANOTHER religion? I pointed out a paradox here but also notice how these theories of "reality" change as technology changes. the simulation theory coincides PERFECTLY with the level of technology we possess today. 100 years ago, hell 30 years ago, no one even thought of this idea. but now, with our ability to create computer simulations ourselves, SUDDENLY everyone is discussing how our reality, too, may be a simulation. the theory is the result of our technology not the result of our reality.
