So, while we can fairly well dispense with nonsense about pascal's wager from the perspective of an afterlife for us, what is certain is that humans are creating simulations, and that those simulations will eventually have intelligent denizens, and that we will need to design useful criteria for whether we let those denizens developed in simulations into our world.
As such, this does mean that Pascal's Wager, while perhaps not something all that important at the moment for us, it is something of untold importance for the things in our created simulations.
But since we run the house there, against which this wager is being played...
What ought the winning bet be?
