But reality is also just a simulation -- inside your head. And we're talking about a hi-fidelity simulation here. Hopefully you would be aware that it was a simulation, but perhaps not. Perhaps you are in a simulation now. How would you know? And what is wrong with make-believe, and toys? They are fun! Have you forgotten? Or perhaps you have the puritan view that only that which is useful to others in the real world is worthwhile? What a depressing view! Life is for enjoyment! Being "productive" is a necessary evil. I've been retired and "unproductive" for more than 10 years now. Take my word for it. It beats working hands down! >A computer program can't be a person. Not yet...
