| May 29, 2015 at 22:36 | comment | added | André Souza Lemos | We cannot be dogmatic in philosophy, as we sometimes are in science, where phenomena or explanatory models are guiding presences, and concepts can be defined quite loosely. It may be surprising to you, but we cannot understand what you mean by "universe", "simulation", and "real", without any - lenghty and well-reasoned - characterization. | |

| May 29, 2015 at 21:56 | comment | added | user2953 | Although it's not the same question, I think you may find an answer there. In any case, also relevant: How does one know one is not dreaming? | |
| May 29, 2015 at 21:53 | comment | added | TestinginProd | Thats certainly relevant, but my question is less about whether we exist, and more about whether we exist in something real versus something simulated, or even if there is such a concept of "real" vs "simulated" | |
