Yeah, this is interesting but is missing one of the key findings of some of the better players (imo) of this simulation or what we call life. These top players, like Ken Wilber, insist that we are not separate but are in fact one, which would mean we are the guy on the couch.
I much prefer KW’s take on all this which can be found here

This was an epiphany for me. Maybe because I tried to play checkers by myself when I was a kid. So, maybe the guy on the couch is just tired of having dinner alone?
steve,
“we are not separate but are in fact one, which would mean we are the guy on the couch.”
well put, that’s what i like to think of too
“So, maybe the guy on the couch is just tired of having dinner alone?”
yep, that’s why i like this part of the article. if i remember my mystics literature correctly, this is what most mystics say anyway
“It’s unsettling to think of the world being run by a futuristic computer geek, although we might at last dispose of that of classic theological question: How could God allow so much evil in the world? For the same reason there are plagues and earthquakes and battles in games like World of Warcraft. Peace is boring, Dude.”
