Digital Philosophy and Religion

[Angrboda]

I think the best possible argument against the Universe behaving like a computer is the obvious fact that the Universe doesn't routinely shut down for inexplicable reasons. I mean honestly, when was the last time gravity just shut off?

Since you yourself are a part of the simulation, you wouldn't be aware of it being suspended because your awareness would be suspended too. The best analogy to this is a flashlight. What does the flashlight "see" when it's turned off? This is like consciousness; when you're asleep, you're not aware that you're not aware.
