"The Simulation" is the new modern religion. It explains everything yet explains nothing.

The "Simulation theory" people drive me nuts, because they act like a thought experiment predicated on a misunderstanding of the concept of infinity and computability theory is amazing evidence of this hypothesis.

But I completely agree, because it's so vague and all-encompassing, it can effectively be a placeholder answer to anything and everything without actually providing any insight.
