How we are not overseen by a computer simulation of virtual reality but are already overseen by in-born genetic pools

Mike Thomas says simulation theory “posits that we're actually living in an advanced digital construct, such as a computer simulation, that's overseen by some higher form of intelligence.” Elon Musk said, “we have photorealistic 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously, and it’s getting better every year. And soon we’ll have virtual reality, augmented reality. If you assume any rate of improvement at all, the games will become indistinguishable from reality.”

But in the real world we are already overseen by in-born genetic pools that are like supercomputers. And this real genetic supercomputer has the flexibility to adapt to outside natural selection and evolution.  “Biology is the hardware, culture is the software.”

Edward O. Wilson said, "The genes hold culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior. . .is the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact. Morality has no other demonstrable ultimate function."

Perhaps simulation theory could be thought of as a way to introduce the idea that we may not have the degree of “free will” we think we have. Human nature across the world is overseen by in-born genetic pools which are kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. Even the smallest change in human nature and our DNA structure, for example, in our immune system, took hundreds of thousands of years---although genetic engineering may speed that up.

Thinking about it this way, simulation theory seems like an unconscious way to make us feel like we are lucky not to be overseen by some higher form of computer intelligence, when in reality we are overseen by the biological origin of our social behavior.

Perhaps its easier for the simulation theorists to write about being overseen by some higher form of computer intelligence than to write about how to deal with actually being overseen by the biological origin of our social behavior, which is a decidedly politically incorrect subject.
