To prefer a 60% chance of the destruction of more than two existences to the certainty of the extinction of humanity in one of them is an interesting position.
Yes, far from inconceivable and perhaps even held coherently by a majority of humans but certainly different to mine. I have decidedly different preferences, in certain cases it’s less than that. If I found I was in certain kinds of simulations I’d value my own existence either less or not at all.
Clearly, however, either such a preference either incurs local privilege
Yes, it would (assuming I understand correctly what you mean by that).
I hadn’t considered the angle that the simulation might be run by an actively hostile entity; in that case, destroying the hostile entity (ending the simulation) is the practical thing to do at the top layer, and also the desired result in the simulation (end of simulation rather than torture).
