This is the proper response to the various flavors of nihilism. The world is a simulation, or the universe is cold and uncaring and there is no god, or what if you're just a brain floating in space having a hallucination?
So what?
If the world doesn't exist, but every test you can perform is consistent with the world existing anyways, then so what? Where do you go from there? You'll still experience consequences for whatever you do, everyone else will still experience consequences for what you do (as far as you can tell), so... what has the nihilism or the simulation theory changed?
Doesn't matter what color we paint the backdrop if nothing about the play or the props or the players have changed.
