So your argument against digital simulation is that currently digital simulation isn't good enough today so it will never be good enough?

May I introduce you to the exponential function?

It's a little something that's been carrying the whole field of digital computers on it's back since the 1970s.

I’m not convinced that a more perfect simulation can meet the needs of a human psyche in the long run. I think we vastly underestimate our own complexity in this regard.

Whatever the case, we’re certainly nowhere close at the moment.
