Comment on If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation?

  Yes it does.

    Not necessarily. You’re correct that we cannot account for intention. Neither cam we assert whether we ourselves are simulated or not. Even if we can prove this reality is simulated we cannot be sure if we are part of the simulation or inserted into it (a la The Matrix) from our current position.

      Exactly. For some people, maybe it’s part of the definition of a simulation that we are also simulated, but that’s not necessarily a part of the definition. We could be a part of it, or we could be an audience or consumers of it. Occupants. Whatever.
