You replied rather than killing yourself which, as far as I'm concerned, suffices as "evidence" in favor of living being (a) good in itself.

The origin of Covid-19 is moot. The variants evolving from Delta are what really matter. :mask: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59418127

"The world" cannot be "external" to – ontologically separate from – itself, which includes its constitutents (Spinoza). To wit: :fire: :100:

C'mon, Fool ... The program rules simulate a physics for a simulated world. Simulation programs themselves, however, must be consistent with real worl...

What's up, Doc? :smirk: Video games (wank-engines) are nothing but "interactive" cartoons.

Don't change the subject. Answer my last question first.

How would we (the simulation makers) know that?
