I think it's far more likely that we're the simulation of some super intelligence than the creation of a mythological deity worshiped by ancient goat herders.

But to each simulant, their own programming. Unicuique suum.

What do we call the people who created the simulation? Is it unreasonable that they would give us stories to impose their own morals on us? Maybe they have a punishment or a reward for you depending on your qualities, such as getting to live in the host universe or getting stuck in an undesirable environment.

I’m more partial to God being Humans that survived the flood (being real and caused by an asteroid exploding over ice caps) and have been chilling underwater, occasionally popping their UAPs up and poking around. But I don’t hold that view too firmly.

You realize that those two ideas are identical, right? RIGHT??

Can you copy paste in your implementation of equals()? My spider senses tell me there is a bug contained within.
