> Whenever the simulation hypothesis comes up, there's always the questions like: Who is simulating us? Where is the power coming from? What happens if they pull the plug? But why would any of that matter?

Reminds me of one of, in my opinion, the more underrated quotes from The Matrix:

  Cypher: You know, I know this steak doesn't exist.
  I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is 
  telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious.
  After nine years, you know what I realize?

  [Takes a bite of steak]

  Cypher: Ignorance is bliss.

That's the point. Why do science like physics if you are in a simulation?

Remember that Neo flies at the end of the Matrix? :)
