In this episode of A Quick Rundown, we dive into Simulation Theory—the mind-bending idea that our entire reality could be a sophisticated computer simulation. Could our lives be more like The Sims or The Truman Show than we realize? We explore the philosophical origins with Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, break down Nick Bostrom’s famous paper ‘Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?’, and discuss modern-day believers like Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Plus, we take a look at glitches in the matrix, like the Mandela Effect, and wonder if life as we know it is just lines of code. Tune in for a fascinating, funny, and lighthearted look at whether we’re all just avatars in an ultra-sophisticated simulation.
