John,
The simplest and by far most likely answer is to assume that the
world we appear to live in IS the real actual world (though heavily
filtered through our own internal simulation as I've explained
before). To assume otherwise in the absence of any actual evidence
is a waste of time. We can imagine we live in some simulation by
some super beings and that may or may not be a possibility (I
maintain there will always be a way to figure that out), but there
is no evidence at all that it's an actuality or even remotely likely.
Until there is some actual evidence it's just sci fi and not the
proper subject of science...
Its looks like you still haven't gotten around to reading the
simulation argument (despite my having posted it multiple times). If
you assert X, and someone says, wait a moment doesn't Y imply not X,
you can't just pretend Y isn't there and keep asserting X.
Assuming that Edgar is rational. That does not seem clear to me.
