The implications are that the purpose of life is to entertain Mr. God.

> If you might be living in a simulation then all else equal you should care less about others, live more for today, make your world look more likely to become rich, expect to and try more to participate in pivotal events, be more entertaining and praiseworthy, and keep the famous people around you happier and more interested in you.
> In sum, if your descendants might make simulations of lives like yours, then you might be living in a simulation. And while you probably cannot learn much detail about the specific reasons for and the nature of the simulation you live in, you can draw general conclusions by making analogies to the types and reasons of simulations today. If you might be living in a simulation then all else equal it seems that you should care less about others, live more for today, make your world look likely to become eventually rich, expect to and try to participate in pivotal events, be entertaining and praiseworthy, and keep the famous people around you happy and interested in you.

The difference between simulationism and organized religions is that there are good arguments for why we may live in a simulation, but there are no convincing arguments that the Abrahamic god or any other religious god exists.

If this is a simulation, most of the suffering that supposedly exists in the world might not actually exist. All the people in ward, plagues, famines, etc. might all just be NPCs. I might be the only conscious being that actually exists.

The strongest argument that we live in a simulation may be that we just happen to exist at a time right before the technological singularity and colonization of the universe. Because of this, we may be uniquely positioned in history to influence the far future.

In light of this, living in a simulation may imply that we should try to be as influential as possible, as doing so may fulfill the purpose of the simulation. The purpose of life is to entertain Mr. God.

If this is a simulation, the purpose of life might be to entertain the creator. Terry Davis was right.

If this is a simulation, it may be wise to try to be entertaining to the creator. Terry Davis was right about everything.

>Maybe that is the shit-test that is existence. Someone's way of weeding out the undesirables and growing the entertaining creatures. We could never know. Ants could never tell you what a boot is, or a foot, or a leg, but their entire domicile can be instantaneously wiped-out by one.
Robin Hanson wrote an article about this. If we live in a simulation where some kind of god-like being is watching over us, it might be a good idea to try to entertain it and try to be as influential as possible.
