A simulation to what purpose ? What's the difference between a simulation and reality ? What is more "real" about the original hardware than about us ? It doesn't make obvious sense to waste such vast amount of energy for absolutely no purpose that we can observe: surely you could add a grain of doubt in your absolute statements no ? The universe is probably nothing very interesting, and reality depressingly obvious once we figure it out. It's like all these astrological sky maps they were doing to predict the mood of the gods above, before we realized we were a rock turning around an hydrogen ball, itself turning around the galactic center, completely non-special, like every other block of rock out there. Being in a simulation is just a way for you to replace god with a machine equivalent. You want a purpose, a father figure, an observer and a designer. Sadly, I think you and I are as precious as an ant, completely not part of any simulation, having no purpose and barely any effect on the universe. We're here because we could and we'll disappear because we must, with barely a blip, while everything in the universe is turning around senselessly.
