There's been a buzz lately on the simulation argument.
Even the smart people like Elon Musk and Nick Bostrom and some others are talking about this thing.
Let's assume that the simulation argument is true, thus means the universe has a creator.
Ask yourself: doesn't it feel like everything is calculated? Reality works on it's own: grass grows, bees fly and pick up the honey, the planet rotates on it's axis by it's own – it sure feels like a simulation.
Simulation argument is kind of a ridiculous argument, because there is no knowing what happens outside the simulation.
But if life is created for us to experience it, there sure is a creator.
If we have a creator, sorry for sounding so religious but I'm not religious, then it means our lives are designed and very calculated. Sometimes it feels that you can't do or achieve certain things. Maybe because you're not supposed too.
If we have a creator, or lives have a scenario which we can't change and it completely eliminates free will.
I know there's to many if's but it is as it is, these are quite difficult questions to grasp due to lack of experience in life after death and so on. Nobody I know has been dead, yet.
By looking at the planet at life itself, we know that we are inside some system which works on autopilot. You don't have to do anything just put food and water in yourself and for some species there's too much food. You know like flies eating shit. There's a lot of shit. Any living thing is edible and the produce of living thing is edible, maybe not by us, but my other species.
We know that the system works, but in order for the system to work – somebody has to design it. Look at an ant, it looks like he is carefully designed.
I know that atoms rearrange by themselves, but for the system of such complexity to work – somebody has to design and make the instructions in the first place. You know that the laws can create themselves. Therefore there must be a creator.
That creator is like 100% intelligence, because everything is crafted very well. Even if it evolves overtime by trial and error. You see humans and animals evolving and changing shapes, becoming stronger or weaker. Doesn't matter.
There are no two identical potatoes.
So if there is a creator [maybe yes and maybe no] that means you don't have free will and life is projected towards the end. That of course does not eliminate your responsibility and shit. Just keep in mind that life works on autopilot.
I think the simulation argument is interesting, but I don't worry about it, and here's why: if we are in the simulation, it's more important than 'reality'.
Imagine you're in stuck the matrix and will never be able to get out. You are unlucky enough to be an innocent bystander in a fight between Agent Smith and Neo - one of their stray bullets blows half of your hand off. I tell you not to worry, because your 'real' body, jacked into it's tub of goo, still has all it's fingers.
You'd tell me to get bent, and I wouldn't blame you. What's the use of a supposed reality that we have no access to?

Precisely.
You see, if I made a simulation – I wouldn't incarcerate people to shitty lives. You know I would make people able to come in and out from the matrix whenever they want.
And now we are locked to this universe/life and we can't like escape and not die. I don't want to finish my existence and like you know I'm stuck here in this matrix :-) This reality is like mine reality. I guess we'll find out what happens next.
If the next life is shit like this one, I don't want an afterlife... :-)

Yeah, if we are in a simulation, our creator might be a bit twisted - kind of like the way some people treat their pet people in the Sims games.
I just comfort myself by remembering that people don't have everything figured out, and that life, the universe and everything in it could be a lot weirder than we think.

I know that we know nothing. All our knowledge is subjective, thus we see life as humans
