As we have no reference point. We could very well be in a simulacra. A made up world created by something else.

Yes, but my point is...so what? We have no reference nor evidence of a layered set of realities. We have this for now, and our knowledge suggests that we are built to see only a certain set of variables that make up this reality.
Think of it like this. In front of you is a cone of sight. It allows you see where you are going and some peripheral views to supplament your awareness. Its narrow, but not too narrow. Just enough to see where you need to go and what you need to do to stay alive.
Now imagine that cone widens and your view is far fuller. You see things like infrared, UV, even atomic scale activity. You even now recognize the underlying current of quantum interference that counts as evidence of your stimulated reality. You know that this is a complex quantum program designed by other entities outside of the sphere of reality you reside in.
Suddenly that cone of sight is too full. There is so much happening that you can see and recognize that you're far too distracted or focused to know where you are going or what you need to do. It's like someone added hundreds of pop-up ads and now you can barely make out whats going on behind them.
A simulation can be considered a simple video game we play or defined as the holographic projection of our reality onto a quantum consciousness. Either way, this is the reality we live in. This is the one we can focus on for now.
But what happens if we find evidence that it is a simulation? What then? Should we expect to act any differently? What would you do if we found out there there is another layer of reality, or that at some point consciousness itself was imprinted in time and space and was able to recreate a universe that once existed, reforging life through it's quantum simulation?

I guess Iād probably start getting high again.
