Nature represents a truth that we can rely on, contrasting with the often misleading narratives we create about our experiences, and we have no idea what's going on; there's great power in knowing that. If you think you know, chances are you're being deceived because everything we know is made up.

The idea that we live in a simulation doesn't add anything meaningful; the laws of nature themselves can be seen as a computer program that governs our reality.

The physical world is constrained by the laws of physics, while imagination is unconstrained, allowing for limitless creativity.

The suspicion of other causal forces at work manifests in the imaginations of those on the cutting edge of thought, potentially as a consequence of Christianity's victory over paganism, which led to a desacralized worldview.

In the subatomic world, the rules are consistent with the observable world, and understanding how our perceived reality emerges from subatomic behavior is crucial.

I don't think we're in a straightforward simulation, but I do believe that underlying physics is rooted in information theory.

If you believe the universe is vast and we are infinitesimally small, it will shape your philosophical outlook differently than if you think the Earth is the center of the universe.
