Elon Musk thinks that the probability that we’re the base reality is almost 0 because on top of the base reality there could be infinitely many simulations.
But if you think about it and ask yourself how the base reality can exist unless it’s being simulated, there doesn’t seem to be a conceivable answer. So it might be the case that we’re living in a simulation fractal and anything that’s simulation should be regarded as real in the same way as what we conventionally regard as the base reality, even if the realities we simulate are not as fleshed out as our own reality (which start to look ‘fabricated’ and fuzzy at the quantum scale so to speak).
