Like I said, I see this as a thought experiment about 'what is reality' and 'what is consciousness'. Not on 'are we actually living inside alien computers'.
The fact that we only exist in a tiny planet, while we can observe a seemingly infinite universe but with a horizon limit and that 96% of the energy in the universe is unexplainable by our physics would be pretty good arguments for us living in a simulation nevertheless, if we assume nesting simulations necessitate reduction of scope.
> Yes but if you only simulate a consciousness there is no nesting, otherwise on what does the consciousness run on?

This I don't understand. What do you mean?
