Does anyone base their lives and their worldviews around the simulation theory?

    Its such a philosophical dead end. I know a few people who really want the world to be a simulation but I cant understand why. I think they want an excuse to have nothing matter and be shitty.

    But i would not live my life any differently if we found out that this is a simulation. Because its still real to me and there's no reason to believe I can exist outside the simulation any more than my sims can exist outside the game.

    I know one person who does. And, of course, everyone thinks he lost his marbles.

    How does that person’s behavior differ from “normal”?

    For example, a Christian would go to church, probably believe in hell, and pray.

    I don’t even know what one would do differently if they truly believed we're in a computer.

    Well, he constantly wears what I can only describe as an attempt to make a power armor straight from a 2000s live action sci-fi, constantly screams that everyone is dumb and that "The Great Observer" will free believers from this simulation, believes that if he remains hidden for a couple of minutes, police will simply lose him like this was GTA, and other dumb shit.
