Nice essay! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I need to learn more about this topic and I still want to read Sea of Tranquility. I like your conclusion: if we're living in a simulation, so what? Our actions and choices every day still have real, meaningful consequences for ourselves and everyone around us. I guess that statement goes against EEAAO's assertion that "nothing matters," but my beliefs land more on the optimistic side that *everything* matters, (even if nothing matters,) so let's do our best with what we have.
