Primitive cultures continue to postulate that "higher intelligences" are responsible for the creation of our universe.
The concept that made this into an idea applied in this manner is being taken way out of context. It has nothing to do with a higher intelligence but a way to see how the Universe works. All of this is taking place on the Planck Scale. The projection is over this kind of distance, we would never be able to see it, though we might be able to utilize some of its properties.
It can be neither proven nor disproven that we’re in a computer simulation — therefore it’s possible we are in one.
I say hogwash to that. We can say the same about any crazy hypothesis out there. But we can’t treat each and every possible speculation credibly.
