That *might* be useful if you (a) *know* that you're living in a simulation,
and (b) are able to discern somehow the reason that the simulation is being
run.
In "reality", you're highly unlikely to know either of these, and making
assumptions about *reality* is not likely to be effective.
Our reality might be the equivalent, to the entities running the simulation,
of a game of Life (the 2-d cellular automata), a run of The Sims, a major
research initiative, or something else we couldn't even comprehend.
