As to whether or not I care if the hypothetical creator of our reality is benevolent or not, or course I do! but there wouldn't be anything I can do about it.OFC not, if the sim programmer is a bastard there's nothing we can do about it..except point out that it's a bastard and all of the ways that sim demonstrates this to be the case regardless of whether or not it thinks it's a bastard. Or..you know, help all the people the bastard is eating alive asshole first until it eats us alive asshole first.
I think you're selling yourself short, anyway. You care a little bit, right? You wouldn't watch somebody do something horrible to someone right in front of you, at least? What we can where we can when we can...and if it;s bad enough we might even go out of our way, yeah?
