    In my eyes, if it’s extremely unlikely that we’re real, it’s even more unlikely that another species is not only real, but has significantly better technological advancements than us as well. It’s just the same problem with extra steps. But the thing about the simulation thing, is that it’s completely unfalsifiable and has no impact on our reality even if it’s true. So there isn’t really any need to consider it outside of a philosophical conversation.

      Yeah I agree. Simulation or not - I wouldn’t expect anything to be different. Life is just as precious even if this is not the base reality because for us it effectively is.
