I'm just a 20something girl in SF thinking about the totally wild coincidence that the RATPLUR gobbledygook I now believe is in content way different from the stereotypical religious bumpkin indoctrination I grew up with. Anyway, off to discuss the sim theory with a cute VC boy.

Sim theory in its raw form does not have typical religious normative content, and unlike a normal religious myth can be bent into a falsifiable formulation without much breakage

It's got all the benefits of religion without that pesky normative piece!

My personal theory is that "life" inside the sim is a kind of simulation equivalent of mold contamination, a kind of high-complexity high-order memory leak of sorts, a process that squanders sim resources for no simulator gain and not related to sim purpose.
