I should really post this on a Monday but I might as well do it now. A whole bunch of assertions to do with truth that it occurred to me to poll about...
They make absolutely no observable difference to the world as we can experience it. By definition.
Or at least not observable difference...so far!
To be honest, the simulation argument is one that I mostly store at the back of my brain, only coming out when discussing the nature of reality. It's there, along with The God Hypothesis, as an example of something that cannot be ruled out, and makes for fun fiction, but doesn't actually affect my day-to-day life in the slightest.
