Of course it doesn't actually "change" our perception of ourselves, but "where do we come from" is one of the longest-running unanswered questions of our species, so I don't suggest the "ya, whatever" approach.
It's not so much of a "where do we come from" question as it is "are we even real?" We are, at least we're real enough to call ourselves real so whether we're in a simulation or not isn't really interesting enough for me to care about. It makes me seem like I don't care about these sorts of questions which I hate, but this one is just empty to me, especially when there are better questions to be asking than "are we actually just The Sims?"
