Wouldn't it follow that the "simulators" are also simulated, ad infinitum? (see: "turtles all the way down" comment) Certainly, no matter how far you go back,

Certainly, no matter how far you go back, the simulations are "real" in the sense that they exist. Why is this simulated reality considered less "real?" Would we (or whatever we really are) be able to experience "base reality" as he puts it? Can you see your own eyeball directly?
