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.
Man makes computers...the universe is a big processor.
Man makes holograms...the universe is holographic.
Man makes simulations in the computer....the universe is a simulation...simulating simulations in our computers.

We certainly are projective creatures.
