Robin Hanson seems to take the simulation argument seriously. If it is the case that our reality is simulated, then aren’t we already in a holodeck? So then what’s so bad about going from this holodeck to another?
I agree with your basic point, but question why our reality being simulated is a necessary part of it. As long as it’s functionally indistinguishable from a simulation, shouldn’t the question of whether it actually is one be irrelevant?
