It's all fun to think about but we should be mindful of how falsifiable things are. We should ideally be careful to not give too much credence to non-falsifiable propositions, even if they might be true. This violates most people's intuition, but it prevents us from being bogged down wasting time on problems which we cannot gain ground on. If we are in a simulation, and it is falsifiable, rest assured some physicist will figure it out. Until then I doubt rumination on the subject will get us much closer because unless something is falsifiable you can't actually KNOW.
