I doubt we'll ever really know if we're in a simulation or not.
But it is the educated that have made most of the major science discoveries, people who have time to sit around and think about abstract ideas, and then the resources to investigate them.
Also you'll find lots of people with "easy" lives worked pretty hard for them and are still willing to push themselves physically in sports as much as any roofer. How many roofers have climbed Everest I wonder?
