I wanted World on a Wire to be about the ethics of simulating life in order to make choices about life outside the simulation. But instead it was just about one dude's ego/id under the pressure of simulated madness.
Like imagine if we were a simulation running to calculate how many lives will be lost to COVID due to our shitty inability to stay the fuck home under compulsory capitalism.
That would be fucked up.
No one should have to die to prove a point.

Instead some dude gets "rescued" from the "fake" world into the arms of a pretty lady in the "real" world because he was (allegedly) not a megalomaniac. But he sure was a self-absorbed emo prick. 🤷♂️
Oh boo hoo I'm just a Sim I'm gonna go get shot instead of taking responsibility for the well being of Simulacron 1 and Simulacron 0.
Oh look I got rewarded for my abdication of responsibility with a romp on a conspicuously blue carpet in a suspiciously Stev Jobsian outfit.
