It's like the people who crow on about how we're living in a simulation. Okay, so what? I still have to live my life as if I'm not living in a simulation. I still can see that what I do has effects that ripple out starting with those closest to me.
Yeah, if you can't get access to the source code, whether it's a simulation or not doesn't make a difference.
Casually causal.
Casual causality.
