So where were you when you realized that your life and everything/one around you is a simulation?
Me? heh, I half way through The Matrix and then banged my gf at the time and when I finished started contemplating the bigger questions while she wondered about what I wanted to do later.
Pic related is what settled it for me.

The world itself is clearly not a simulation, based on observable objective date, however your particular perception of the world, along with everyone else's is most certainly a simulation, as you can not possible fathom the complexities of objective reality in their entirety, and so, vastly simplified models of reality, which are themselves often poorly understood, must suffice.
Lol the solution to this paradox is actually really easy... literally 8th grade of school math. what can't you understand about it?
Hmm never thought of it that way.
Then explain it smart guy.
Lets imagine Achilles runs 10 times faster the the turtle. The initial distance between them is 10 m. To run the first 10 m Achilles will need one second. To run the next 1 m he will need 0.1 of that amount. And so on. So here we basically get a geometric progression: 1; 0.1; 0.01 ... of seconds. The sum of it is the moment when Achilles will reach the turtle. But obviously it's not infinite, it's actually 1.11111111. The ancient Greeks thought that an infinite series of non-zero numbers sums infinity, so this was a paradox to them. Not true
You boys would be better off NOT looking into simulation theory. It might turn out you do not like what you find out. In fact very few people 'wake up', manage to come back and not have a stroke.
STOP. ASKING.
You know the truth already, you've just blocked it out. Keep it that way.
I want to know more.
Take this warning seriously.
They are cubes. Get a glimpse of a memory then block it unless you wake up. Don't wake up.
well its not a paradox, but you still cant mathematically define the exact point of intersection, because the number would be an inifinitely long decimal
thus his argument that mathematics are insufficient to describe reality is still valid
