That doesn't mean there isn't real suffering in the world.

There absolutely is.

If you take the NPC version, you could say, well, it doesn't matter.

If you've ever seen that movie, Free Guy, it came out a couple of years ago.

It was like an NPC.

It was at Ryan Reynolds, I think.

One of the Ryans.

Ryan Reynolds.

I think it was Ryan Reynolds, who was an NPC in a video game.

And it was a video game kind of like Grand Theft Auto.

So the players had abilities that the NPCs didn't have.

He was just a guy who worked at a bank or something.

And he realized these guys had these glasses.

And when he put on the glasses, he started to see all this extra information in the world around him.

And then he started to realize he was an NPC.

And some of the people in the game were actually characters of avatars of real people.

But they abused people, you know, when they came in the game, because why not?

Some people say, well, we can't be in a simulation.

There can't be any creators, because then why would they create so much suffering in the world?

Which is worse.
