I feel that is too complicated. The most simplest explanation is usually the right one. I think we live on an earth with actual history. Note that this does not necessarily mean that we are not living in a simulation, as history itself can be simulated.

If we are indeed in a simulation, I feel there are too many details to be "designed" by a being. There are too many facts that are connected and unless they fix the "bugs" as they appear and reboot the simulation constantly, I don't think it is designed. Otherwise we would have noticed the glitches by now.

If we are in a simulation, it has probably been generated by a computer following a set of rules. Maybe it ran a simplified version to evolve millions of possible earths, and then we are living in the version they selected for the final simulation? In that case all the facts would align and it could potentially be harder to noticed the glitches.

I don't think we are living in a simulation because bugs are hard to avoid, even with close to "infinite" computing power. With great power comes great possibilities for bugs

Perhaps we are in fact living in one of the simplified simulations and will be turned off at any second after I have finished this senten
