I do indeed think that many might benefit from doing so. The simple reason why the idea of a simulation is crazier than the notion of the entire universe spontaneously exploding from a single infinitesimal point is that this here being a simulation *presupposes* a highly advanced civilization that itself lives in a universe spontaneously exploding from a single infinitesimal point and then promptly felt compelled to start a simulation thereof. Or alternatively, *that* civilization itself lives in yet another simulation, and so on, and so forth - well, you get the point. Occam's razor still works nicely, thank you...
