#009- You're in a simulation

The Cearley Cultivation

The emergence of the “Meta Verse” represents a new stage of the internet, dubbed “Web 3”. This new platform presents a new level of virtual existence, which just so happens to feel eerily similar to many dystopian novel plots. With virtual reality at our doorstep, Shannon and I felt intrigued to look into simulations and how they relate to society and to humanity as a whole. In this episode, we introduce simulation as a concept and dig into Nick Bostrom’s Simulator Theory. We also discuss varying degrees of abstractness within the concept of simulation. We hope this is only the first of many episodes to come covering simulations. What do you think? Are we in a simulation?
