But it brings up more questions, like why are we able to talk about simulations at all?
Because things are connected, and to make humans unable to talk or conceive of simulations would require great changes to the simulated history in many other places.
In the scenario where future humans are running the sim to simulate their own (exact or approximate) past history, simulated humans have to know and talk about simulations, because they are simulating the original humans who proceeded to build simulations!
