Nathan Young argues: if simulations exist, simulators would likely simulate critical moments or key people — so being bored and unpowerful could be evidence you're not in a simulation.
Eneasz counters: if you're ordinary and conscious, imagine you're in a simulation playing the Hitler who stayed a painter or the Jesus who stayed a carpenter — reality looks weird because you missed a step and the simulators haven't wound it down yet.
