On the triviality/irrelevance of the trendy simulation-hypothesis [when formulated/modeled within my cosmology]
A<=>B
with
A: We are a simulation being run in a universe x;
B: We are [in/on] the level of the cosmos below [abstraction/metaphor-]level x;
To me these two seem logically equivalent – they have the same extension[al truth conditions, etc.].
(With B of course being a statement that is not surprising/interesting – there’s nothing special/strange about there being higher or lower adjacent levels…After all, levels here of course refer to the overall ordering/sequence [of the logic] of our conception of the world, —- and in this context a level can naturally be seen as simulating the next level…)
