Just how like turning a telescope does not affect the reality of the night sky, you thinking about the world differently does not affect the reality, simulated or not.
- Lichtso 5y agoTrue, I simply use this argument to show that there is nothing to worry about, not to prove anything about our reality. The simulation hypothesis is often connected with fears like: Are our gods benevolent, what if they abandon us or pull the plug? And my answer is: Why care, they can't "do" anything to us. If they change their simulation they simply observe something else, not us anymore, and we stay where & who we are.
