The real question is, if we're living in a computer simulation, does it change anything?

“Reality” is not important. Beliefs are.

What do you think?

Nick Bostrom thinks it is about 20% likely. Ultimately, I think it does not really change anything. If you consider free will as the “not yet explained” biology, you could as well consider it as the “not yet discovered” programs that rule the simulation.

I am indifferent as long as my actions, more or less, have an effect on my life. But can't deny the possibility. Maybe our future selfs are controlling our present selfs through the simulation.

And at the same time we should consider that "unless we are now living in a simulation, our descendants will almost certainly never run an ancestor-simulation." https://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation.html

This is interesting, let me check it out! Maybe it is similar to the paradox that our future race cannot alter time in the past (in this particular universe), otherwise we keep going back and humans originate with time traveling abilities.

Why does it matter? People have free will within a system of strict physical laws. Call that system whatever you want - simulation, God, universe, etc.

Out of all the ways we could have existed, condemned to any of the countless organisms devoid of conscious awareness, we nonetheless find ourselves existing as that which knows it exists during a time when we can once and for all attest to there being simulations. Coincidence?

Or is it a crappy plotline...

Whats supposed to happen in the plot next once we figure out that it is a simulation...

It depends on the simulation. After all, simulation or not, we are still by-products of our environment. If the simulation is good and he who's in the simulation realizes it, good things should happen.

I have a more direct answer to that! If you ever find the recurrence in the value of pi, that's the precision to which our world has been simulated! Think about it, it makes sense if given thought but not in the first sight.

I don't see how the two are related, living in a simulation which means we are the AI creatures & our ability to create simulated worlds.
