Like, we’ll probably find out that eating boogers actually makes you immune to select illnesses or something crazy like that.

      Wouldn’t proof that we’re in a simulation also mean pretty concrete proof that there’s no afterlife or any form of continuation of consciousness when we die?

      Like, I doubt your virtual machines go to heaven when you close them.

      Why would an optimization make things more complicated? The point of optimizations in any simulation is to simplify the complexity of the computation. The entire reason why there is a multi-billionaire industry to research quantum computers is because they are exponentially more difficult to simulate than classical physics, so they are not practical to simulate on a classical computer. Seems weird to me that a simulator would “optimize” things by making them enormously more complex.

        Why are we assuming they’d want to optimize it? If they went through the trouble of simulating the entire universe, they probably either have a particular goal in mind, or have such a ludicrously large amount of resources that it doesn’t matter.

          Do you even need quantum mechanics to make that argument, then? You’re basically saying weak emergence is evidence of being in a simulation because you can approximate nature much simpler when “zoomed out.” It seems like even if we did not have quantum mechanics you could still make that argument.
