Oh, Huffington Post. Stick to writing articles on why the drug war is bad.

Great comment 
It still is undoubtedly interesting that scientists think they can solve the mystery of the Universe with an experiment.

Maybe if we don't exist to mario and mario doesn't exist to us there is no outside that we are connected to.

Well, the universe has rules and parameters likea computer program, but to call it a computer simulation is a gross oversimplification.

The argument is, probability-wise, we have a greater chance of being a simulation created by a future human species than being the real, first universe.

Im surprised I never thought of this to that extent....
"A long-proposed thought experiment, put forward by both philosophers and popular culture, points out that any civilisation of sufficient size and intelligence would eventually create a simulation universe if such a thing were possible.
And since there would therefore be many more simulations (within simulations, within simulations) than real universes, it is therefore more likely than not that our world is artificial."

yeah, or this could all be a dream in the mind of God. It amounts to the same thing ultimately.
Cause if you are your higher self which exists in higher dimensions, you could literally be that future human yourself...

there's not really much to discuss about this. we only know about the universe through the mathematics we use to describe and analyze it. it works. we use math because it seems to fit the laws of the universe.
does it mean we ARE the math? idk. that's a tough question.
simulations are representations of things that are real. i know i am real because i exist right here and right now. however, the way i existed yesterday is questionable, as is the way i existed a year ago, or even just a few seconds ago. all i have is memories. and what are memories? encoded impressions? stored information of a past event? or information about a present moment from an alternate perspective?
whatever "it" is, our models of representing it seems to work. i think the universe can be anything you imagine it to be. as modern scientists we describe and define the universe very differently than say a tribe of ancients who believed in myths and spirits. however, that way of describing the universe worked for them as well! in their reality.
the universe really can be anything. and we interpret our understanding using what we have to work with.
if the glove fits, it doesn't mean it's the only glove that CAN fit.

in western civilization we have a strong need for science to validate things before we take them as true. but that's just one model. for instance, the fact that i can validate reincarnation scientifically (in my own mind if not to others) helped me out a lot in spiritual exploration.
but physics obviously has a long way to go. and how is it going to jump over certain existential hurdles, such as the brain being a vessel of consciousness rather than the originator of it?
to me this shows that other 'gloves' have to be explored, and taken seriously. Myths and rituals can be seen as primitive or they can be seen to be just as precise as a mathmatical formula, in how the are able to deconstruct the universe.
I dont think everyone doing mythic rituals has it down to that level, but I'm sure some people/groups do...

What's the difference between memory and the present? Other than stimuli sent by electrical signals to alert you of something that happened in the past
