So you can lobby for the world to be a better place but in order to be genuine about it, you have to be vegan... Gotcha
You need to take a step back and reassess who is on your team and what team you're on. You and these people are trying to accomplish the same thing yet you're poo pooing on their efforts because you can't confirm if they're vegans? That's kind of insane
I imagine it being more academic. It would take an enormous amount of power to create a simulation like this so my guess is, the civilization running the simulation has a much better understanding of the universe and rather than experimenting in their own world they created one. I also like the idea of a future civilization discovering humans after we have gone extinct and having enough information to create a simulation to watch it happen.
