In sum, if you might be living in a simulation then all else equal you should care less about others, live more for today, make your world look likely to become eventually rich, expect to and try to participate in pivotal events, be entertaining and praiseworthy, and keep the famous people around you happy and interested in you.

This is literally indistinguishable from the ramblings of your average Christian conservative, except with even less substance because at least Christians have the fucking bible. These tech bros make up some weird sci-fi nonsense and then spin that into "yeah this means the status quo is great and me not giving a shit about other humans is perfectly justified".

They're blatantly using this crackpot "theory" to justify their pre-existing beliefs, which is celebrity worship and apathy towards those around you, and of course the classic right-wing hierarchies. I'm superior because the big man in the sky programmed me to be a "real" mind, while the others are just NPCs who have lesser minds, that's just how the world is.

These world would be a better place without these spineless, pathetic losers.
