i always kind of hated this “we live in a simulation” shit

okay, lets say that we are in a simulation. then what. what the fuck are you gonna do about it. youre gonna live anyway, so whats the difference? its literally just some “what if?” ass question. its essentially the same thing as asking “what if we were put here by a god?” you dont know, and it doesnt matter either way.

That sounds like something an agent in charge of running the simulation would say to a patient(s) who is close to discovering the truth, in order to maintain the ruse. Just kidding. I too regard it as baseless and arbitrary.
