My instincts evolved to make me competitive in a state of nature, so nature exists in some level.

Also brain in a vat is cruel and unusual punishment that wouldn't be a compulsion of a species intelligent enough to put it to practice.

Nothing. I am a hedonistic utilitarian so why not being a brain in a vat having intense pleasure every second till the universe ends? There is no logical reason to not be one.

That would be even worse than being an incel. You think a foid will fuck a brain in a vat? And dont say they would rather that than fuck you. At least with a body you can rape foids

There are no epistemological justifications. There are metaphysical ones, however. I'd appeal to Putnam's argument. Or, at least, some reformulation of it.
