If so, then the very idea of reality as being a "simulation" is itself absurd.

All stories are absurd,

Well, I've decided this conversation is, anyway. I'm out.

You were never in it.

You are NEVER not here.

No, it "implies." The word "simulation" implies at least two "realities." One is the simulation. The other is whatever it "simulates." No, the idea of two realities is absurd.

Now if you are unable to differentiate between a REAL, 'actual thing' from just an 'idea', then so be it. But, most people are able to.

Neo is the matrix. There is nothing beyond the field of dreams. Then nothing is being "simulated." QED Conceptually speaking yes, nothing, not-a-thing is being simulated.

There is no conscious entity aware of the exact moment it has fallen asleep, nor is there any conscious entity controlling the exact moment it wakes up. In the same context, there is no conscious entity aware of the exact moment of birth, nor is there a conscious entity aware of the exact moment of ...

There is no gap between the unconsciousness not-knowing ( sleep state) and the conscious knowing (awake state) They are two sides of the same coin transforming from one state to the other, they're only difference is in appearance only, but are in essence two aspects of the same exact substance.
