No, we're not in a simulation.

Sure, it's fun to think something like that.

However, throughout my life I've seen horrible things happen. Things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. In a world like this, I find it more believable that we're here simply because of impossible odds.

Here's something to think about...

What kind of creator of a simulation would allow such suffering to occur? There are problems all around the world that the technological singularity has potential to solve.

People like Elon Musk think they're in a simulation because their life goes well, I'd even go as far as saying a little too well. Like levels of "I could solve longevity but I don't want to" levels.

The creator of the simulation needs us to suffer for their enjoyment?

Now that is what I call true evil.

We make fictional movies, books, stories ext about terrible things all the time. How is that any different?

There's no evidence of us being in a simulation.

Never said there was. How could there be?

yeah, I was about to say that question is like (even assuming we were LIAS) asking why Valve let GLADoS kill all the scientists or why Game Freak condones the activities of Team Rocket
