Abstract

In this article, I directly attack  Nick Bostrom's Simulation Hypothesis – not just as a flawed concept, but as a genuine threat to human consciousness. This idea fails to meet any scientific, logical, philosophical, or certainly moral standards. Beyond its logical absurdity, it fosters de-realization among the younger generation, blurring the boundaries of existence, diminishing the concept of reality, and leading to a dangerous internal destabilization. At this very moment, we are witnessing this hypothesis spreading like wildfire – especially among young people – infiltrating culture as an almost accepted fact. I see this as an immediate danger: a detachment from oneself, a lack of trust in existence, and a loss of the sense of reality. This is not merely a mistaken philosophical proposition – it is a toxic existential bomb. In this article, I dismantle this hypothesis from its foundation, exposing its conceptual mechanism – to set a clear boundary and return humanity to the center of reality, not to the edge of an anonymous programmer's keyboard in a fabricated universe.
