The simulation theory is really just a restatement of most religions' metaphysics (other than maybe Buddhism) using the language of technology instead of religion. They don't realize this because they are all irreligious and don't realize what they have missed by being so.

We can draw large distinctions between religions. But most posit there is a deeper reality and we are only aware of the surface (or what we see is illusory or some other description to suggest we are limited in our awareness of reality). Simulation just uses technical jargon.

Don't see how. Monotheists argue there is self-existent reality (i.e., God) and contingent reality (i.e., universe). The universe was created by and continues to exist b/c of God, who programs exceptions (e.g., Jonah & the whale) to program flow as needed. https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1254178022258704384 …

Where the Simulation/Monotheism analogy breaks down is: 1) More than one dev = polytheism. 2) Backwards creation of past history on an as-needed basis. There's no exact match, just similarities that are evident thru monotheistic-sounding language ("Simulation" in place of "God").

Is it? A simulation requires a design architect, no? That points towards God.

Using the Simulation filter, are night time dreams akin to defrag and mostly meaningless?

Seems like simulation theory would argue that religions are just explaining the simulation in non-technical terms: 1) creator (God) = sim developer 2) eternal soul = each person's code 3) reincarnation = moving code to other sims 4) prophets = developers inhabiting players
