>and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical

That is an absurd claim, if taken by itself. Most of nature relevant to us behaves classically. If you want to do simulations of a building or a car or an earthquake or the climate, modeling it as a quantum system would be absurd.




He's obviously talking about the nonclassical regime, where the fundamental quantum nature of reality matters.
