This is a false dichotomy—simulation versus Reality. When Neo woke to reality was it Reality or another higher order simulation? Could we not just redefine our capital R reality as a damn fine simulation? Isn’t that the message behind almost all spirituality and religion? This pseudo-question belongs in the trash heap of philosophy along with mind-brain dualism. It is a question generated by murky thinking—-credit to Wittgenstein for pointing out the obvious. Read Richard Rorty—any thing really but “Truth and Progress” a good place to start. If you want way more insight than Chalmers will ever provide then read either “The Quantum Thief” by Hannu Rajaniemi, or hardcore neuroscience: “Principles of Neural Design” by Sterling and Laughlin.
