Palmer Luckey says simulation theory is just normal religion repackaged for people who claim to be irreligious “I ponder it a lot because, I mean, look, we talked earlier about how I would only be able to pull off these things I pulled off if I continue, continuously succeeded over and over again, and it does make you think, like, what are the odds of that? Is it, is it more likely that the world is a simulation or not?" "And I think actually it just comes down to, it comes down to, I’m a spiritual person. I believe in the existence of a higher creator, of a higher power. And I feel like there’s actually a lot of similarities between that and believing in simulation theory." "I mean, like, when people, people say, oh, it’s, you know, it’s all a simulation. Is that really so different from having a universe that was created by an all-powerful being?" "Like, it’s almost, I often feel like simulation theory is just normal religion wrapped up in a package that a person who claims to be irreligious can partake in. They’re like, no, I would never believe in, you know, a sky daddy. I just believe that we live in a world created by a higher being, and that he’s watching our every move and learning from it and helping us along the way.”
