Nuh un I saw that episode of Rick and Morty and if the simulation crashes we all get a chance to escape.
That's only if you're a person from outside that was put into the simulation. If we're all just simulated beings we'd never know.

“Who’s Neilty Son?”
Oh. Oooh, right.
Son of Neil Ty, duh.
This is quite plausible if one subscribes to Boström's Simulation Argument.
Which any sane Vulcan of course does.
What I can appreciate about this is that it requires other people to be just real as yourself in the simulation
In that hypothetical, it's not like anybody would notice.
Imagine talking about simulation theory with that much certainty.
the universe disappears
Yeah? Is that how it works?
Imagine, instead, a joke. Cause that's what's going on here. There's no chance that this guy is serious and seriously thinks he knows the particulars of how a universal simulation is being implemented.

BSOD vibes
Nah, they got the pay as you go model. No way they end the sim, they have to see the end.
There is something inherent about spending too much time with computers that warps people's brains into compulsively perceiving everything around them in digital logic.
Many of the allegories from the likes of Descartes and Aristotle use the concept of the mind being manipulated by demons - a common trope of their times - but the concepts being explored were the same as people talking about being a character in a book, or a brain in a jar, or a computer simulation; they're just using the prevailing ideas of their time to communicate ideas to their contemporaries.

Relax, they're just staring at the skybox.
black holes and dark matter are the errors starting to pop up
