You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

P.S I don't like this line of thinking very much for a few reasons however. It implies we exist in a simulation but at some level there must be a "base" reality of "non simulated" people. How this base reality came into existence goes unexplained. It's ultimately this explanation we are seeking and "location" of where we are doing our reasoning (inside or outside of a simulation) doesn't help you with this explanation apart from adding an extra level of abstraction / indirection.
