The fallacy is that you don't have a real universe if you "program your
own universe or digitize the existing universe on a computer", you just
wind up with a simulated one.  It's the difference between software and
hardware.  People seem to not realize this anymore.  You can't serach
the entire real universe in a few seconds with google.  You can't send
the real universe over a phone line.  People need to get out from in
front of a terminal for 19 hours a day and experience reality.
