I always found “Simulation Theory” to be a lazy Reddit version of Deism to begin with, but especially these days it’s dire just how often undesirables are perceptibly stripped of personhood with that same belief system. It doesn’t pass as a joke for me when too many rich creeps like sermonize about it on the regular and their sycophantic followers feel more like Main Characters by nodding along.
Unless they were born rich and connected, though maybe you mean consequences for those they dehumanize.
I probably should have more concern for the kids but I’m definitely talking about consequences for people like us.
