Do we live in a simulation? Argue both sides
We do not know if we live in a simulation. Both sides of the argument have their merits and shortcomings. On the one hand, it is possible that we are living in a simulation, as it could explain certain aspects of the universe that are not easily explained otherwise. On the other hand, it could be that we are not living in a simulation, as there is no evidence to support this claim. Ultimately, it is up to us to decide what we believe.
