I don't consider it evil at all. I don't hurt anyone. It is what I choose to be, and choose to do with my time. I checked out the link (thank you by the way) and did not see the similarity. I am unfamiliar with that idea though and had never encountered it until you just shared it.

didn't intend the evil part, that is just what it is called. i think the metaphor is very apt.
Yeah I wasn't complaining. I may be interested in a lot of subjects, but I truly had never encountered that argument until you shared it with me. I do like learning new things. So thanks. I haven't completely internalized what I likely should from that link.
i only know about it from other philosophy context. i don't know all of its consequences. it was the first thing i thought of when the simulation theory started popping up a couple years ago. some of the ted talk explanations i have seen weren't very convincing. of course descartes had some of his own crazy. i didn't mean to be snappy or short. thanks.
