that might explain how we have a LOT of computational power, but not necessarily and unlimited amount, which means the paradox stands imo

There must be a limited amount of computational power, which would mean simulations at the lowest level would not be able to create further simulations.

Not true. Remember that you don't need to simulate stuff in real time. 1 second of simulated environment could be computed in 10 seconds. Whatever you lack in compute power dimension you can compensate in time dimension.

We Are NOT Living in a Simulation. Probably.
