I find it comforting to believe that our world could be just a computer simulation.
If 't Hooft is in favor of it, it is plausible. He is very smart and understands everything. This is the first I hear about him being serious about spacetime being a fixed lattice, though. I would venture a guess that he is proposing something more involved than that?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
