Here's a talk from Donald Hoffman on the nature of the reality. He very successfully put some meat on the bones of my musings on the possibility that this reality only exists as a data structure. The illusion of a 3D world would only be necessary for us to survive and prosper.
This is something very relevant to help grasp the simulation theories too. To some it may give depth in the understanding of nonduality: https://www.scienceandnonduality.com/the-death-of-spacetime-birth-of-conscious-agents-donald-hoffman/
