I’ve actually been trying to actually invoke something like this, at some point after the singularity I plan to go into a simulation that starts out with my life pre-singularity, then awesome/impossible adventures start. There’s kludges involved in getting it to seem like it has any hope of working, because my expected reason for why future-me will want to do this is that adventures are more fun if you think they’re real (I’d prefer this to simple wireheading, and probably also to reality) and that makes the fact that I’m planning this now evidence against it. I don’t have much input to make on the actual question, just declaring my interest in it.
