Exactly, I mean is he stupid? Is he not aware what omniscient or omnipotent mean? Because if he does he's wasting everyone's time and if he doesn't then that's another paradox right there.
Look, if you play SimCity, is that a waste of your time? And do you care if you're wasting the time of the Sim citizens?

Heh, well, we are from our own point of view mostly because we define ourselves to be. Scientifically, there is no firm judgement on this and no clear definition of what "conscious" even means.
It's entirely possible that we perceive ourselves to be "conscious" because we were programmed to do so as part of the simulation.
