If you were the only truly conscious entity in this simulation, how would other entities (like me, for instance) know that there was consciousness to be had, even if we didn't have it? Consciousness (subjective experience) is one of those curious things where one has to have it in order to know it exists!

How likely is it there are beings so advanced they can run simulations with people who are "conscious" like us in the first place?
I considered that point, as well. However, it's not as difficult as it might seem, given I'm the only truly conscious entity in this simulation.
How likely is it such beings would run simulations even if they could? Maybe they have no interest in doing this.
Of course they would want to simulate me. Obviously!
