Go for it. I have extreme difficulty trying to work out how it might even make sense that all possible(*) realities don't exist....

To me, the killer arguments are:

How arbitrary both the arrangement of the universe, and the universe itself is,
How impossible it is to pin down what existence is, compared to an abstracted implementation#
How consciousness itself implies uncertainty and indescernibility between contexts.

(*) In a meaningful sense, of course.

Can you elaborate on that a bit more?

How consciousness itself implies uncertainty and indescernibility between contexts.

Uhh.... and that too.
