Late to the simulation theory party, it's an interesting idea but ultimately feels hollow..

Either you end up with an infinite regress, turtles all the way down, who were the first simulators type question..

Or if you say that the simulators might not have things like time or causality in their reality, but then it basically becomes no different than the answer being "God".. It's just a magic thing that doesn't actually explain anything.

I guess unless we can somehow eventually break or exit or otherwise perceive beyond the simulation.
