Seeing as we’re now closer to the singularity than we are to my birth, it’s with reluctance that I concede the probability that I ever actually had a childhood in this universe is looking rather slim.
Why think that being in close proximity to the singularity implies a high likelihood of being in a simulation, but also that the simulation would only start a decade or two beforehand? Why not simulate a hundred or a million years? Seems hard to start the sim in the middle of the action without anyone noticing.

What do you mean? Are you claiming smth like “we are being simulated and the sim explores the most interesting part of singularity”?
