I've gone a little bit into simulation theory and would recommend the joe rogan podcasts on it.
I think one of the more interesting reasons for this being a simulation is the era in which we live, which has a really unique mix of being an exciting, rapidly changing time where there's a lot of safety and comfort, but there's still a lot of wildness in the world. If we exist in a simulation, it's probably because the real world is a pretty boring place, so you want to go back to an era where things were really exciting, but also has the tech to allow for long, healthy lives. Sure you could go back to the 1500s, but then end up always dying before you're even 2 years old. Why do that when you can be born after 1950 and experience the emergence of the internet, amazing leaps in progress from decade to decade and watch the beginning of God-King Trumps 10,000 year reign.
