Is Reality a Consciousness Driven Digital Construction?

The simulation hypo thesis has come up in several episodes, and i believe that one of the reasons it has come into vogue. Light time and even space itself are evidence rongly suggests this way. Yet i rarely see this concept openly discussed and seriously considered. My question is, why are serious scientists so reluctant to consider this perspective? So unfortunately, even though thes a priority question, i think t you phrased it a little bit badly because it's a long question.
