I can't wait to put myself into a sim world and give myself super powers.

Statistically, I should already be one of them. But where are my powers? It's another Fermi paradox for sure.

The workaround is to schedule the creation of many many copies of myself, each with its own sim world, just after I fall asleep. So I will have an arbitrarily certain chance of waking up as one of those copies, and the ability to fly.
