Hoping to provoke some discussion with this. If we were sentient beings created inside of an advanced computer simulation, would we ever be able to tell? What signs do you think we’d see? And…do you think we are?

It’s pretty hard in these times to accept that God (the stimulation architect) intervenes in reality. But if there is a God then surely they can intervene in reality. I’d say then that we can’t really prove we are in a simulation but we can try more and more ways to petition God and each one builds evidence against there being one. Though I guess you could argue that God could be dead, not in the Nietzschean sense, but literally a corpse in a higher reality, we could be in an abandoned simulation.
