A simulated universe built by random sampling

Does demiurge play dice? I'd say yes. if we put the following synthesis together: Many-world interpretation, Monte Carlo simulation,  "the best of all possible worlds" thesis by Leibniz, and Path Integral. Our world is an aggregate of probability distributing after countless simulations, splits or paths. Then, against all odds we are here ((the chosen solution), thus arise the question of the anthropic principle. BTW, I'm more in line with Schopenhauer's assessment that our world must be one of the worst of all possible worlds.

Of course, it is also possible that all quantum uncertainty is all in the mind, according to Qbism. Then this world might be just a prolonged thought experiment.
