Although I don’t think the technology is available to simulate some of the crap I’ve gone through. The nuances alone would stagger the mind.

This question defines the domain of ontology. We believe that the fundamental stuff of being, the essence of the universe, consists of elementary processes or actions, rather than matter, energy or ideas.

There is a a theory (which i forget the name of) that states if we reach the tecnolgical ability to create a fully realistic simulation of life. Then there is nothing stoping that simulation creating its own simulation. The logical conclusion of this way of thinking is that the probability of our reality being the top of this pile is very small and in fact the most likly situation is that we are indeed a simulation ourselves.
