>It's not the the simulation hypothesis is impossible, it's that it seems to be utterly uninteresting. What measurable predictions could it make? How could it influence your decisions (more than any other religious or metaphysical belief)?
Kant already solved this problem 250 years ago; >The truth or the objective reality of the concepts that are used in metaphysics cannot be discovered or confirmed by experience. Metaphysics is subjectively actual because its problems occur to everyone as a result of the nature of their reason[0].
There is no way to confirm that God exists or doesn't exist and I think that we as a human civilization will never know. But I personally believe that someone or something created us and that we are indeed living in a simulation, that is firewalled from that being that created us.
