Not my idea, but thanks anyway.
I think I can answer my own question anyway. I'm certain that I'm not living in an 'Ancestor Program' because if someone designed 'our' world they would have made it a lot better.
Think of the '1st Matrix'; they made a perfect world didn't they?
Yes, I know that people weren't happy and they had to make it again imperfect, but that is slightly different, they were real people plugged into machines, I'm talking about complete holographic simulations (like the Doctor in Star Trek: Voyager or Rimmer in Red Dwarf.)
My daughter plays the People Simulator EA Game 'The Sims' and it's various expansion packs. Now they have wonderful lives. They seem to have a lot of kitchen fires and the babies grow up unusually fast, but apart from that they all have great jobs and girlfriends, fantastic holidays, become superstars, and make magic spells.
If you were to design a world to relax and play in, would you design one like 'The Sims' or would you design one with poverty, hunger, famine, wars, global warming, aids, sars, nuclear weapons, etc etc?
