We're Probably Living in a Simulation, Elon Musk Says

{"I think most likely — this is just about probability — there are many, many simulations," he added. "You might as well call them reality, or you could call them multiverse."
The "substrate" on which these simulations are running, whatever it may be, is probably quite boring, at least compared to the simulations themselves, Musk further told Rogan.
"Why would you make a simulation that's boring? You'd make a simulation that's way more interesting than base reality," Musk said, citing the video games and movies that humanity makes, which are "distillation[s] of what's interesting about life."} https://www.space.com/41749-elon-musk-living-in-simulation-rogan-podcast.html

Various religions imply that there was a General Original Designer of the cosmos. The scientific approach is about not being limited by any religious or philosophical perspective. So how and why do various human cultures have the concept of this world being part of a cosmic construct?

{"Humanity might never be able to prove with certainty whether the universe is simulated, Chalmers said.
"There's certainly not going to be conclusive experimental proof that we're not in a simulation," he said near the start of the debate. "Any evidence we could ever get would be simulated!"} https://www.space.com/32543-universe-a-simulation-asimov-debate.html

VR R&D will only continue to reveal that this world and space-time is part of some type of an interactive recording and projection of reality.
