As someone in the infosec field, knowing that our universe is in fact a contrived system tells me that it is most likely exploitable. Quite a worthwile question to answer, IMO.

Interesting about phenomenalism. Hadn’t heard of that before. So things like the recent article stating our consciousness does not receive input in real time? Not that it proves phenominalism but could help potentially support the idea of phenomenalism or that we are in a simulation.

Philosophy and physics/QM intersect often. I think all of it is very worthwhile to study. You’re not the first I’ve come across that thinks it provides no value knowing but I think it would be useful to prove either way.
