Reality as consciousness, not simulation theory

The podcast episode explores the misconception and flaws of simulation theory, which suggests that reality is a computer simulation. The speaker emphasizes that reality is not a result of external substances or simulations, but rather it is consciousness itself. They argue that consciousness is the fundamental substance of reality and that everything, including virtual worlds and video games, is an expression of consciousness. By understanding and becoming directly conscious of the present moment, one can realize that reality is not a computer-generated simulation, but rather a direct experience of consciousness.
