I'm going to say your particular delusion is not normal but the core idea is very plausible.
If it is possible to create a simulated universe and we do at some point do so, then those simulated universes will eventually create their own simulations. The moment we prove a simulated universe is possible, by sheer probability we are almost guaranteed to be living in one. There will be far more simulated universes than non-simulated ones so using basic math it becomes a reasonable assumption.
But to believe we are now despite no hard evidence would be foolish. To let it affect nay aspect of your life would be foolish as well. Adding on all of that alien stuff and extra theories is what makes your question not normal.
Aside from your strange need to tell me what I already said, your gauge of normal isn't really a logical one either. Homosexuality is normal, yet most of the population is heterosexual. Majority doesn't rule normality. There are other factors. I'm Caucasian. That's not normal under your logic because the majority is Asian.
Your response is strangely confrontational. I don't really see where I implied it was normal to believe what he believes. I'm pretty sure, unless I'm hallucinating, I actually said as much in the first sentence and again in the last paragraph.
But the actual core idea of us living in a simulation is plausible. Just unproven and shouldn't change our behavior.
Is it normal to believe we live in a computer simulation?

You obviously don't think it is normal as you called it a delusion.
But do most people think we live in a computer simulation?
Answer: no.
Therefore, it's not normal -__-
