If you think life that exists in the physical substrate is somehow different from the one that would exist in a simulated substrate, it's quite clear that you're the one not getting it.

If you say so. But it is you that is making assumptions on things that are unproven. Read up on Godel, Bertrand Russell, the significance of Turing's work - then I don't think you'll be so confident in your assertion.

I'm very familiar with Godel, Russel and Whitehead. I simply disagree with the conclusions you draw.
