Representative of The Over-Seers?

Imagine, you are an inhabitant of a simulated universe…

Now, imagine those who over-see and maintain this simulation (The over-seers) have made you their representative: The human face of The Simulation…

Were you chosen for this task or designed for it since before your birth? I don’t know…

But you are an otherwise normal human who happens to have a channel of communication to The Simulation.

What do you do about it?

What would this task entail?

What should a person who has been chosen to represent The Simulation to the other “Insiders” do?

I'd um, seek help. From a medical professional.

For someone who says that he used to believe that we exist in a simulation, but who has said he no longer believes that to be the case, you still seem obsessed with the idea.

I used to believe in Simulation Theory but am now agnostic about it.

I keep it to one side, as a kind of plaything and live my life as though Christianity is true.

To me it is an interesting side project to which I am not wholly committed.

But to me my life would be much more interesting and meaningful were it true. Which may explain my interest in it.

I find the ending of the first Men in Black movie really sticks with me :)

My immediate response is that they have made a horrible choice by choosing me, ( I could think of many better to fill the role ) and this would cause me to suspect them of perhaps making many other bad choices, in turn making me ponder how " intelligent " they actually are if they've managed to choose me, specifically

I'd never hire me for that job

I think the simulation hypothesis is interesting as a tool. A wrench to throw into the thinking of believers (and some non believers alike).

I think that it is an unreasonable, unacceptable position to be placed into. Rather than representing the outsiders to the insiders I would want to represent the insiders to the outsiders, plea the cause of my fellow humans. I would not want to represent the outsiders to the insiders. If there were some sort of payment and support then I might consider it. If the job paid, and if I could be happy and secure and have some reputation then I might but for free no way.
