Why?

If you're in a simulation right now, how would you feel about those running the machine simulating you? Do you grant them moral sanction to do whatever they like with you, because you're less than them?

I mean, maybe you're here as a representative of the people running the machine simulating me. I'm not sure I like where your train of thought is going, in that case.

Honestly, I would have upvoted just for this bit.
