    This is basically what many eastern philosophies say. In Budism they fully admitted to the inability to prove the reality of one’s existence. At the same time talking about the importance of engagement with reality.

    Basically reality exists because we are here to perceive its existence.

      Yep, your brain percieves stimuli and generates a virtual internal reality that runs with a tiny time delay between the objective reality and your internal subjective simulation of it. So we live in a simulation even if our universe is the objectively ‘real’ one, or we live in a simulation of a simulation.

      Your personality may also be a simulation internaly created so that you have a way to ‘justify’ your bodies actions to other entities. Split brain experiments are veeeery interesting.

      This is pure conjecture but I sometimes wonder if neuro-divergencies are caused by a fault in the internal simulation via brain chemistry
