We Are God's Equals in Intrinsic Moral Value
Category: Mind & Ideas › Philosophy
What if we're NPCs in a Sims-style simulation run by a humanlike god? Thinking through the simulation hypothesis and the moral status of simulated beings, I argue we are God's equals in intrinsic moral value. Greater power, knowledge or perfect goodness do not make a life worth more. I'd love to hear your counterarguments.
Rolly's Take
For those who linger on the edge of existential questions, wondering about the very nature of existence and morality. They find solace in the tension between power and equality, exploring the depths of a simulation that might mirror our own lives — a quiet rebellion against hierarchies of value. Here, philosophical inquiry meets the heart of ethical egalitarianism, inviting introspection and discourse without pretense.
