There are many things thought, false or true, and they DO matter because they are thought and will influence our future.
A person who believes we live in a simulation might think that the goal of the simulation is to solve some puzzle. That person might dedicate his life to solving a riddle with much more energy than if he would have different beliefs.
It also seems a bit premature to throw away a philosophy without exploring it. Just one idea: "Would a strong AI have the same thought? Would it try to break out its perceived simulator? How would it then behave towards us?"
