    Even if we were in a simulation, we only exist inside of it and knowledge of whether or not we are “real” doesn’t actually change our interaction with the time and space inside our universe.

      Great, I’ve been suffering through Capitalism and now I have to learn that it’s not even real Capitalism.

      The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
      From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don’t, their claim is meaningless useless.

        Just because they can’t find exploits in a simulation sophisticated enough to run a seemingly infinite universe doesn’t mean there’s no simulation.

          I know, but otherwise there is no use for the knowledge that we live in a simulation. Unless someone can contact the outside of course.
