Replace simulation with book where only a framework is defined and and the plot is built within the set rules.

So instead of a simulation, maybe we’re living inside of some other type of thing we’re hard-wired to be unable to even think of.

Like a limited ‘fake’ world edifice structured through legal fictions like money, which attempts to assert that it is significantly more pervasive than it actually is, through stories like The Matrix, to instill a sense of hopelessness upon anyone who even considers not submitting to it.

I like this observation a lot. Because I was going to say that if we couldn’t conceive of a simulation, we’d probably just speculate about the closest thing we could imagine.
