Does anyone base their lives and their worldviews around the simulation theory?

[โ€“] themelm@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Its such a philosophical dead end. I know a few people who really want the world to be a simulation but I cant understand why. I think they want an excuse to have nothing matter and be shitty.

But i would not live my life any differently if we found out that this is a simulation. Because its still real to me and there's no reason to believe I can exist outside the simulation any more than my sims can exist outside the game.
