Humans are made by evolution to be approximately Occamian, this implies that Occamian reasoning is a least a local maxima of reasoning ability in our universe.
When we use our Occamian brains to consider the question of why the universe appears simple, we come up with the simple hypothesis that the universe is itself simple.
Describing the universe with maths works better than heroic epics or supernatural myths, as a matter of practical applicability and prediction power.
The mathematically best method of measuring simplicity is provably the one used in Solomonoff Induction/​Kolmogorov complexity.
Quantum Mechanics and -Cosmology is one of the simplest explanations ever for the universe as we observe it.
The argument is sound, but the people are crazy. That doesn’t make the argument unsound.
The Occam argument is basically:
