A more sober sequel might be "Our Brains vs Magical Bullshit".
It could have been an interesting discusion...but no, there will be no discussion, apprently. Leaving me precious little opportunity to ask why anyone would be surprised that our universe looks like a simulation to a creature who's perception is the organic manifestation of a simulator. To ask why it would be surprising that the universe looked like a simulation when simulations are built...wait for it...out of the stuff of the universe in the first place.
These sorts of things escape minds tied to mysticism..it seems. Neither question ends with "therefore pixies and spirit-stuff" and so neither is useful.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
