If our universe is deterministic there's no difference between existence and inexistence.

If you have a piece of paper with seed written on it then you already have in possession any moment of history of our universe.

And are we sure that the universe is not deterministic either way? How does that change anything in your day to day life?

Nihilism existed before any arguments about being in a simulation
