If I can’t determine what lies beyond the veil, then nothing much changes, does it?
If I’m presented with a beautiful utopia, or just another world that’s not a hellscape that lies beyond our simulation, and then am thrust back into the simulation, then I guess I’d be less afraid of death. If I’m presented with a hellscape, then I guess I’m more scared of death.
However, if I could somehow be convinced that this is all just a simulation, but can’t see what lies beyond in what is actual reality…then that’s just like…knowing there’s an afterlife, but not knowing if it’s better or worse than this plane of existence, so it’s practically worthless information.
