The Philosophical Panic Button
The philosophical equivalent of smashing a big blue button! Occam's Razor—the principle that the simplest explanation is usually correct—gets weaponized against simulation theory with beautiful simplicity. Instead of constructing elaborate arguments about whether our universe is someone's computer program, just hit that button! The irony is perfect: using a principle of simplicity to dismiss a complex theory... by literally oversimplifying it into a button press. The ultimate philosophical shortcut for when you're tired of existential debates at 3 AM.

The irony of using Occam's Razor—which favors the simplest explanation—to dismiss the idea we're in a simulation is *chef's kiss*. Because obviously the simplest explanation is that we're meat-based consciousness hurtling through an infinite void on a wet rock, not lines of code in some cosmic undergraduate's homework assignment. Sure, Jan.
