264 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:05,500 with open lines all night long now I'm 265 00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:11,050 excited about tonight's show and this 266 00:14:20,570 --> 00:14:15,480 show is about 20 years in the making 267 00:14:26,820 --> 00:14:20,580 because the film The Matrix came out in 268 00:14:30,420 --> 00:14:26,830 1999 and I remember very clearly back 269 00:14:33,150 --> 00:14:30,430 then I remember that up until the week 270 00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:33,160 of the release of the movie I hadn't 271 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:34,300 heard anything about it 272 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:38,320 and I am such a movie guy and I would 273 00:14:43,140 --> 00:14:41,290 get to LA Weekly and I'm always you know 274 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:43,150 waiting for some crazy movie to come out 275 00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:45,130 and it was just something cool and I was 276 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:48,480 always and their movie reviews and 277 00:14:53,850 --> 00:14:52,330 across the street from the house there 278 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:53,860 in Sherman Oaks we had a really nice 279 00:14:59,790 --> 00:14:57,610 movie theater right there and and right 280 00:15:02,700 --> 00:14:59,800 so that's it you know I was always 281 00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:02,710 looking and and sometimes you know I 282 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:04,390 planned for things a month or two in 283 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:06,250 advance because you know something big 284 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:08,800 was coming out and the matrix snuck up 285 00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:12,160 on me and I had gotten out like the LA 286 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:17,710 Weekly and and I see this review for 287 00:15:23,010 --> 00:15:20,290 this movie called The Matrix and it was 288 00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:23,020 like the day before it started playing 289 00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:24,910 at the local theater across the street 290 00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:28,000 and although at the time I didn't fully 291 00:15:34,050 --> 00:15:31,270 grasp what the review was trying to say 292 00:15:37,050 --> 00:15:34,060 about the film and I'm pretty sure that 293 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:37,060 the reviewer at the time didn't really 294 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:38,290 understand what the film was about 295 00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:41,530 anyway right but I knew I could tell 296 00:15:45,780 --> 00:15:42,910 that it was something that I wanted to 297 00:15:48,510 --> 00:15:45,790 see special effects and Keanu Reeves and 298 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:48,520 the future and and there was probably 299 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:50,770 some mention of alternate reality and 300 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:52,450 and I you know it was supposed to be so 301 00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:55,120 high tech and well produced and okay all 302 00:16:03,540 --> 00:15:57,550 right and then it's playing like the 303 00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:03,550 next day so I go and and watch it and I 304 00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:09,040 remember very vividly that I left the 305 00:16:14,630 --> 00:16:12,700 theater impressed but I was impressed 306 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:14,640 about the special effects 307 00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:19,110 mostly right and the other thing because 308 00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:22,649 I'm such a film guy was I was very 309 00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:24,660 impressed that I couldn't figure out 310 00:16:31,460 --> 00:16:28,260 what the movie was about right right I 311 00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:31,470 was like that is it that was deep and I 312 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:34,800 didn't understand why I couldn't figure 313 00:16:40,130 --> 00:16:37,769 out the meaning of the film I knew it 314 00:16:41,389 --> 00:16:40,140 was much deeper than you know like neo 315 00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:41,399 dodging bullets 316 00:16:45,230 --> 00:16:43,470 you know in slow-mo and all of that 317 00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:45,240 stuff but there was something else there 318 00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:48,000 so I went back that week two or three 319 00:16:54,829 --> 00:16:51,300 times to see it again and each time I 320 00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:54,839 took different friends and I had to do 321 00:16:58,130 --> 00:16:56,070 that because you can't take the same 322 00:16:59,720 --> 00:16:58,140 friend to the same movie over and over 323 00:17:02,810 --> 00:16:59,730 and over again that nobody's gonna want 324 00:17:04,370 --> 00:17:02,820 to do that so I invited other friends 325 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:04,380 and and told him I was gonna go see the 326 00:17:08,090 --> 00:17:07,290 movie again and and I did and slowly I 327 00:17:11,659 --> 00:17:08,100 got it 328 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:11,669 and you see here's the thing and it 329 00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:13,679 didn't happen right away not for me 330 00:17:18,860 --> 00:17:15,569 and I can't speak for everybody out 331 00:17:19,340 --> 00:17:18,870 there but I didn't get the film didn't 332 00:17:23,150 --> 00:17:19,350 get it 333 00:17:25,130 --> 00:17:23,160 I mean I knew I enjoyed the story and I 334 00:17:27,530 --> 00:17:25,140 enjoyed the action and the special 335 00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:27,540 effects but I was trying to get to the 336 00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:29,400 meaning of the film you see here's the 337 00:17:36,409 --> 00:17:32,460 thing through that whole period of the 338 00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:36,419 90s I was really into gaming I still AM 339 00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:38,700 I just don't have the time to game if 340 00:17:47,390 --> 00:17:42,480 you ever get a chance maybe one day you 341 00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:47,400 know right and it's in in my bedroom 342 00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:50,160 right next to the TV is a PlayStation 4 343 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:52,049 sitting right there haven't fired it up 344 00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:56,250 in six months but it's it's there it's 345 00:18:00,440 --> 00:17:58,260 it's you know I've got all the all the 346 00:18:02,539 --> 00:18:00,450 controllers and all the things but but I 347 00:18:06,350 --> 00:18:02,549 just don't have the time to gain like I 348 00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:06,360 used to but in the 90s I was really into 349 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:10,559 gaming and this is this is the trip with 350 00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:14,250 serious gaming and if you have gamed 351 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:16,260 you know exactly what I'm talking about 352 00:18:23,090 --> 00:18:19,770 if you haven't gained this may sound a 353 00:18:26,990 --> 00:18:23,100 little bit strange but the more that you 354 00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:27,000 play you find that when you have to go 355 00:18:31,159 --> 00:18:28,200 out into the 356 00:18:36,919 --> 00:18:31,169 world you find that you're still in the 357 00:18:39,529 --> 00:18:36,929 game you do you you it takes it takes a 358 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:39,539 while for your brain to adjust it's a 359 00:18:44,659 --> 00:18:41,130 really trippy thing to go through and 360 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:44,669 all gamers do it you know if you if you 361 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:47,850 go through a six-hour run and you've got 362 00:18:51,529 --> 00:18:49,769 to leave to go get food you got to go to 363 00:18:53,180 --> 00:18:51,539 leave to go do something you got to go 364 00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:53,190 meet people you got you know you have to 365 00:19:05,029 --> 00:18:57,230 leave the house you're in the game 366 00:19:09,289 --> 00:19:05,039 it takes a while and the adjustment of 367 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:09,299 your brain is such that you see things 368 00:19:15,289 --> 00:19:13,130 in the world around you that are 369 00:19:17,389 --> 00:19:15,299 relative back to the game that you were 370 00:19:20,389 --> 00:19:17,399 playing you're still playing the game 371 00:19:22,610 --> 00:19:20,399 and then when you get back home let's 372 00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:22,620 say you get you you adjust your back 373 00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:24,299 into the real world you're hearing 374 00:19:28,970 --> 00:19:26,070 people talk and you're engaging in 375 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:28,980 conversation it's all good then you get 376 00:19:35,899 --> 00:19:33,090 back home and you fired up your computer 377 00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:35,909 right or your Playstation whatever and 378 00:19:42,669 --> 00:19:39,440 you're right back into that world 379 00:19:46,669 --> 00:19:42,679 it's a trippy thing and it's a 380 00:19:49,159 --> 00:19:46,679 comforting thing when you're gaming that 381 00:19:52,399 --> 00:19:49,169 you get back into it you get back into 382 00:19:54,049 --> 00:19:52,409 the world and and all of the the you 383 00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:54,059 know all the players and all of the 384 00:19:58,549 --> 00:19:55,830 things that you're interacting with and 385 00:20:03,139 --> 00:19:58,559 the things that it's it's comforting and 386 00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:03,149 I understood that I got it and it was 387 00:20:08,269 --> 00:20:06,000 some time later you know when I started 388 00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:08,279 to it was one thing to understand what 389 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:12,510 the matrix was about right okay it's 390 00:20:19,490 --> 00:20:15,570 another thing when the realization of 391 00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:19,500 what the matrix and Neal were about the 392 00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:23,899 real subject matter everything changes 393 00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:28,260 it does there was something going on and 394 00:20:34,730 --> 00:20:32,100 it's not that the matrix was first to 395 00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:34,740 cover this it's it's not about that 396 00:20:39,860 --> 00:20:37,260 because we've experienced that in 397 00:20:44,090 --> 00:20:39,870 science fiction forever 398 00:20:49,399 --> 00:20:44,100 and and also mythology but but you know 399 00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:49,409 if you think about well anyway before I 400 00:20:54,289 --> 00:20:52,620 go to sideways when I got the 401 00:20:57,169 --> 00:20:54,299 realization of what was happening with 402 00:21:00,649 --> 00:20:57,179 the matrix I went out and I bought when 403 00:21:03,370 --> 00:21:00,659 it first was released because at that 404 00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:03,380 time there was a Tower Records literally 405 00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:06,480 across my driveway from my house in 406 00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:11,179 Sherman Oaks tower video I got the DVD 407 00:21:16,430 --> 00:21:13,919 right with all the bonus the bonus the 408 00:21:18,830 --> 00:21:16,440 making of the matrix the second DVD and 409 00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:18,840 the director's cut and all that stuff 410 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:23,520 and I watched it over and over and over 411 00:21:31,370 --> 00:21:28,250 again I went through a matrix insanity 412 00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:31,380 not only the whole movie because I would 413 00:21:39,620 --> 00:21:34,820 do that too but I started watching 414 00:21:41,690 --> 00:21:39,630 specific scenes I was understanding the 415 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:41,700 meaning of the matrix and I would 416 00:21:49,370 --> 00:21:45,690 transcribe them I would sit there on my 417 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:49,380 laptop and watch these scenes over and 418 00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:51,690 over again and I would get the 419 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:54,510 transcription absolutely WordPerfect 420 00:22:00,500 --> 00:21:57,690 every comma and period and thing and and 421 00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:00,510 I would study I would absorb the movie 422 00:22:06,019 --> 00:22:03,750 by reading my transcription which turned 423 00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:06,029 out to be the script I would read that 424 00:22:10,399 --> 00:22:07,710 while the movie was playing in the 425 00:22:12,590 --> 00:22:10,409 background and I just I got it inside of 426 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:12,600 my head right 427 00:22:19,789 --> 00:22:17,370 I literally studied them and when you go 428 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:19,799 through this type of immersion into a 429 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:23,010 subject it will consume you and the 430 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:26,130 matrix did for me this was when I 431 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:29,490 literally started to ask questions about 432 00:22:37,370 --> 00:22:33,049 the world around us not about 433 00:22:41,779 --> 00:22:37,380 conspiracies or UFOs and time-travel I'm 434 00:22:46,250 --> 00:22:41,789 talking about what is reality that old 435 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:46,260 red pill blue pill scene when you break 436 00:22:50,930 --> 00:22:48,809 that down and the implications and the 437 00:22:53,149 --> 00:22:50,940 heaviness of that scene today we 438 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:53,159 understand it we all know about being 439 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:53,850 red pill 440 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:56,010 we know about the words that were spoken 441 00:23:00,260 --> 00:22:57,690 and we understand that scene but back 442 00:23:03,289 --> 00:23:00,270 then nobody did 443 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:03,299 we were absorbing it and we were getting 444 00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:05,490 to the heaviness of what was actually 445 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:08,940 being presented in the film right but I 446 00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:13,010 got it I got it and and that being 447 00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:15,840 combined with the gaming that I was 448 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:19,590 doing and the reality of what the matrix 449 00:23:26,330 --> 00:23:22,890 was suggesting to us it changed for me 450 00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:26,340 and at the time because today it's a 451 00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:29,940 different world at the time I thought I 452 00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:34,640 was the only one thinking like this okay 453 00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:38,130 III I really did and I was uncomfortable 454 00:23:44,210 --> 00:23:40,830 with discussing these subjects it was a 455 00:23:45,919 --> 00:23:44,220 movie right it was a movie I was 456 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:45,929 uncomfortable with discussing the 457 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:48,210 heaviness of the matrix with my friends 458 00:23:54,890 --> 00:23:49,890 because I didn't want people to endued 459 00:23:58,820 --> 00:23:54,900 what right it's just a movie man it's 460 00:24:02,770 --> 00:23:58,830 just a movie but in the early 2000s many 461 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:02,780 started to suggest the same thing and 462 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:07,049 what happened next I started to research 463 00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:08,490 this and I started to research 464 00:24:15,049 --> 00:24:11,760 scientific papers and physicists and and 465 00:24:19,220 --> 00:24:15,059 what the the simulation hypothesis 466 00:24:21,950 --> 00:24:19,230 really was and it it started to confirm 467 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:21,960 a lot of things and here we are today 468 00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:25,850 about tonight rizz Burke is with us and 469 00:24:32,419 --> 00:24:30,080 probably three years ago 470 00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:32,429 Silicon Valley started to flip on its 471 00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:36,990 head and and qubits and quantum 472 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:39,900 computing started to become a reality 473 00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:43,650 and when the talk of quantum computing 474 00:24:49,090 --> 00:24:45,809 this is where all of this ties together 475 00:24:52,580 --> 00:24:49,100 and it gets really scary the thought of 476 00:24:54,529 --> 00:24:52,590 quantum computing started to get around 477 00:24:56,899 --> 00:24:54,539 the tech world and we were trying to 478 00:25:00,280 --> 00:24:56,909 understand really what quantum was and 479 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:00,290 when you go from a 486 chip 480 00:25:04,810 --> 00:25:02,210 you know and you start to to go through 481 00:25:07,390 --> 00:25:04,820 the different stages of what computers 482 00:25:08,860 --> 00:25:07,400 are processing power 33 megahertz bus 483 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:08,870 speeds and all of that from the old days 484 00:25:14,350 --> 00:25:12,050 and where we are today alright and and 485 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:14,360 and quantum computing comes into the mix 486 00:25:19,930 --> 00:25:16,510 we didn't understand it now today we do 487 00:25:22,990 --> 00:25:19,940 Silicon Valley did understand what 488 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:23,000 quantum computing and and quantum theory 489 00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:26,090 and quantum mechanics actually means and 490 00:25:33,790 --> 00:25:28,960 then the suggestion started to come out 491 00:25:36,220 --> 00:25:33,800 are we living in a simulation and then 492 00:25:39,370 --> 00:25:36,230 the references going back to the matrix 493 00:25:42,370 --> 00:25:39,380 are everywhere now it's part of pop 494 00:25:46,030 --> 00:25:42,380 culture it wasn't always that way 495 00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:46,040 for me it took about two years of 496 00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:48,710 watching the matrix over and over again 497 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:50,480 and looking at the world around us 498 00:25:57,090 --> 00:25:52,850 combined with the reality I was 499 00:26:00,520 --> 00:25:57,100 connecting with in in video games 500 00:26:03,940 --> 00:26:00,530 tonight RIS verk is here and we are 501 00:26:06,130 --> 00:26:03,950 going to go through not only each one of 502 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:06,140 these but like I said I'm not the only 503 00:26:12,340 --> 00:26:09,650 one talking like this R is just released 504 00:26:16,090 --> 00:26:12,350 a book that when you read it it 505 00:26:19,420 --> 00:26:16,100 discusses everything of the road that I 506 00:26:21,990 --> 00:26:19,430 just traveled since 1999 and it's 507 00:26:25,660 --> 00:26:22,000 exciting that today we find ourselves 508 00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:25,670 discussing this very subject is it scary 509 00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:27,830 is it any different if you think about 510 00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:32,110 it the scene and the matrix right I know 511 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:36,740 that the meat is juicy alright but it's 512 00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:40,970 not real if you think about that that's 513 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:43,820 where we are today it's crazy what's the 514 00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:45,770 difference does it matter 515 00:26:52,930 --> 00:26:49,520 would it matter to you think about that 516

classic 644 00:33:46,390 --> 00:33:43,910 Knights of Badassdom starring our 645 00:33:48,370 --> 00:33:46,400 favorite Peter Dinklage tonight we're 646 00:33:51,010 --> 00:33:48,380 going to discuss his latest book the 647 00:33:52,810 --> 00:33:51,020 simulation hypothesis drawing from 648 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:52,820 researching concepts from computer 649 00:33:57,010 --> 00:33:54,650 science artificial intelligence video 650 00:33:59,500 --> 00:33:57,020 games in quantum physics and referencing 651 00:34:02,409 --> 00:33:59,510 both speculative fiction and ancient 652 00:34:05,380 --> 00:34:02,419 Eastern spiritual texts Riz will tell us 653 00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:05,390 how all of these traditions come 654 00:34:11,770 --> 00:34:07,910 together to point to the idea that we 655 00:34:14,050 --> 00:34:11,780 may be inside a simulated reality just 656 00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:14,060 like The Matrix I'd like to welcome back 657 00:34:18,580 --> 00:34:14,960 to fade to black 658 00:34:21,220 --> 00:34:18,590 Riz Burk rizz how are you man hi Jimmy 659 00:34:22,830 --> 00:34:21,230 doing well glad to be back well you know 660 00:34:26,379 --> 00:34:22,840 you would think when the intro music 661 00:34:28,090 --> 00:34:26,389 comes in that you're all pumped up are 662 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:28,100 you are you pumped up does the music 663 00:34:32,950 --> 00:34:31,010 gets you excited risk yeah absolutely in 664 00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:32,960 your story of watching The Matrix how 665 00:34:39,790 --> 00:34:36,590 many times well you did the same thing I 666 00:34:42,099 --> 00:34:39,800 know you did rizz yeah I looked up the 667 00:34:43,810 --> 00:34:42,109 dialogue and was amazed that you know 668 00:34:46,180 --> 00:34:43,820 some of the things that Morpheus 669 00:34:48,340 --> 00:34:46,190 you know Laurence Fishburne was saying 670 00:34:50,590 --> 00:34:48,350 to neo and as I looked further and 671 00:34:53,530 --> 00:34:50,600 further into this you know it was it was 672 00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:53,540 a direct parallel on it actually you 673 00:34:57,700 --> 00:34:54,560 know there was an interesting story 674 00:34:59,950 --> 00:34:57,710 about this book and Morpheus that 675 00:35:01,660 --> 00:34:59,960 happened just last month and I wasn't 676 00:35:04,930 --> 00:35:01,670 there but I heard about it what happens 677 00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:04,940 from so you know Jacques Vallee who you 678 00:35:10,270 --> 00:35:07,280 know is a UFO researcher was part of 679 00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:10,280 Project Blue Book and you know has been 680 00:35:15,340 --> 00:35:12,710 investigating paranormal phenomenon for 681 00:35:16,810 --> 00:35:15,350 years he's he's excited about this book 682 00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:16,820 because he's a computer scientist by 683 00:35:20,410 --> 00:35:18,500 background I think he was like the first 684 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:20,420 person at NASA to map out Mars in a 685 00:35:25,450 --> 00:35:23,330 computer screen so he was in Big Sur 686 00:35:27,310 --> 00:35:25,460 giving a workshop and he put a couple 687 00:35:29,140 --> 00:35:27,320 slides up about my book and about the 688 00:35:31,870 --> 00:35:29,150 simulation hypothesis and how everything 689 00:35:33,490 --> 00:35:31,880 is information and then they you know 690 00:35:36,460 --> 00:35:33,500 the session ended and they went to lunch 691 00:35:38,860 --> 00:35:36,470 there in Big Sur and who did they find 692 00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:38,870 at lunch but Laurence Fishburne oh shut 693 00:35:44,740 --> 00:35:42,350 up okay no I heard about it from from 694 00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:44,750 Jacquin from Diana APUs okay you know 695 00:35:48,070 --> 00:35:46,400 who wrote American cosmic afterwards 696 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:48,080 saying that was an interesting little 697 00:35:52,450 --> 00:35:49,730 synchronicity that happened around this 698 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:52,460 book in the Matrix that's a trippy thing 699 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:54,050 that's when you know things like that 700 00:35:58,720 --> 00:35:56,570 happen you just need to step back and 701 00:36:01,210 --> 00:35:58,730 we'll enjoy the moment but understand 702 00:36:03,790 --> 00:36:01,220 that things are not what they seem man 703 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:03,800 they just are not that's a crazy 704 00:36:10,060 --> 00:36:08,450 synchronicity right there yeah it's 705 00:36:11,610 --> 00:36:10,070 funny because I think the first time I 706 00:36:14,650 --> 00:36:11,620 was on your show I was talking about 707 00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:14,660 synchronicity and clues and you know we 708 00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:16,400 were using the term glitches in the 709 00:36:19,660 --> 00:36:17,060 matrix 710 00:36:21,250 --> 00:36:19,670 mm-hmm for how these things are often 711 00:36:22,420 --> 00:36:21,260 related to each other in the real world 712 00:36:23,350 --> 00:36:22,430 and then I think the second time I was 713 00:36:26,170 --> 00:36:23,360 on your show we were talking about 714 00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:26,180 killer AI and now we're kind of bringing 715 00:36:30,220 --> 00:36:27,920 it all together you know as we talk 716 00:36:33,490 --> 00:36:30,230 about the simulation hypothesis so it's 717 00:36:36,970 --> 00:36:33,500 good quite an interesting mix of topics 718 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:36,980 it is it is and for for somebody like 719 00:36:44,050 --> 00:36:41,210 you R is that you you get well you're 720 00:36:46,030 --> 00:36:44,060 supposed to get I should say you're 721 00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:46,040 supposed to understand software and 722 00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:48,710 computers and technology and it's what 723 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:50,900 you do you know certainly with gaming 724 00:36:56,380 --> 00:36:54,170 and investing and apps and and what 725 00:36:59,440 --> 00:36:56,390 Silicon Valley is about you know 726 00:37:04,299 --> 00:36:59,450 so MIT that you have a grip of what is 727 00:37:07,630 --> 00:37:04,309 going on when the suggestion started to 728 00:37:10,839 --> 00:37:07,640 surface not not going back to the matrix 729 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:10,849 I'm talking about today where different 730 00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:12,890 scientists and engineers around the 731 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:16,730 world and CEOs are talking about a real 732 00:37:21,460 --> 00:37:19,130 possibility Stephen Hawking for instance 733 00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:21,470 right start you know where they start 734 00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:24,049 referencing the possibility of us living 735 00:37:33,220 --> 00:37:29,569 in simulation did that you know how do 736 00:37:34,269 --> 00:37:33,230 you start to accept that in that you 737 00:37:36,460 --> 00:37:34,279 know what I mean you're supposed to be 738 00:37:39,009 --> 00:37:36,470 smart and you're not supposed to go down 739 00:37:42,910 --> 00:37:39,019 that rabbit hole but yet others are 740 00:37:44,319 --> 00:37:42,920 around you in this industry yeah you 741 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:44,329 know I think it's become a pretty 742 00:37:49,269 --> 00:37:46,970 popular topic with in Silicon Valley and 743 00:37:53,109 --> 00:37:49,279 it's become a serious subject for 744 00:37:55,569 --> 00:37:53,119 physicists and for philosophers and 745 00:37:57,730 --> 00:37:55,579 scientists I mean it used to be viewed 746 00:37:58,900 --> 00:37:57,740 as purely science fiction right and you 747 00:38:00,579 --> 00:37:58,910 know we'll talk about some of the 748 00:38:02,410 --> 00:38:00,589 science fiction references with philip k 749 00:38:04,539 --> 00:38:02,420 dick you know in addition to the matrix 750 00:38:06,220 --> 00:38:04,549 itself but it's taken much more 751 00:38:11,259 --> 00:38:06,230 seriously now and i think there's two 752 00:38:12,940 --> 00:38:11,269 big reasons why one is there was a paper 753 00:38:15,339 --> 00:38:12,950 published by a philosopher at oxford 754 00:38:17,019 --> 00:38:15,349 nick bostrom called the are you living 755 00:38:19,150 --> 00:38:17,029 in a simulation and he did a statistical 756 00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:19,160 argument we'll get more into that in a 757 00:38:22,839 --> 00:38:20,809 little bit later but then the second 758 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:22,849 reason is that video game technology has 759 00:38:28,059 --> 00:38:24,640 been developing at such a rapid pace 760 00:38:30,430 --> 00:38:28,069 over the past decades that were getting 761 00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:30,440 better and better fidelity and what 762 00:38:35,259 --> 00:38:32,240 we're realizing is where we're creating 763 00:38:37,539 --> 00:38:35,269 models of the physical world inside the 764 00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:37,549 video game and the more we do this the 765 00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:39,529 more we realized that the that the 766 00:38:45,069 --> 00:38:42,250 physical world can be represented as 767 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:45,079 information right and so you know my 768 00:38:49,569 --> 00:38:47,450 background is in computer science and a 769 00:38:51,069 --> 00:38:49,579 lot of the history of video games in 770 00:38:53,710 --> 00:38:51,079 computer science you know I started 771 00:38:55,180 --> 00:38:53,720 programming on a Apple 2 computer you 772 00:38:57,069 --> 00:38:55,190 know way back when I think I built 773 00:39:00,759 --> 00:38:57,079 tic-tac-toe is my very first game ever 774 00:39:03,069 --> 00:39:00,769 and the history of video games and 775 00:39:05,740 --> 00:39:03,079 computers is all about optimization 776 00:39:08,890 --> 00:39:05,750 you're trying to squeeze as much 777 00:39:10,420 --> 00:39:08,900 performance as you can out of the CPU 778 00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:10,430 and then later GPU 779 00:39:16,359 --> 00:39:12,950 were developed you know in fact a lot of 780 00:39:18,130 --> 00:39:16,369 the history of computer software is the 781 00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:18,140 history of video games you know the 782 00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:20,569 first AI practical AI that was ever 783 00:39:25,270 --> 00:39:21,710 really developed was a chess-playing 784 00:39:27,309 --> 00:39:25,280 computer developed by Claude Shannon it 785 00:39:30,339 --> 00:39:27,319 was a professor at MIT and a researcher 786 00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:30,349 at Bell Labs and they consider to be the 787 00:39:35,260 --> 00:39:33,589 father of information science so and a 788 00:39:37,660 --> 00:39:35,270 lot of the optimizations that have been 789 00:39:39,370 --> 00:39:37,670 done have been done for video games 790 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:39,380 because there were so many pixels that 791 00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:41,690 had to be rendered that you had to have 792 00:39:45,819 --> 00:39:43,910 better and better processors and so GPUs 793 00:39:48,460 --> 00:39:45,829 which are used now for everything from 794 00:39:50,829 --> 00:39:48,470 you know simulating environments to 795 00:39:52,990 --> 00:39:50,839 video games to blockchain to everything 796 00:39:54,970 --> 00:39:53,000 else you know the graphics processing 797 00:39:55,630 --> 00:39:54,980 units were developed in order to play 798 00:40:02,200 --> 00:39:55,640 video games 799 00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:02,210 optimization and as the representation 800 00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:04,480 or fidelity has gotten better and better 801 00:40:09,250 --> 00:40:07,520 in video games this idea that we might 802 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:09,260 actually be inside the simulation 803 00:40:13,569 --> 00:40:11,690 started to be taken more seriously I'll 804 00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:13,579 tell you the story about my own went my 805 00:40:17,339 --> 00:40:15,710 conversion experience if you will yeah 806 00:40:20,910 --> 00:40:17,349 I'm thinking about this for a long time 807 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:20,920 but it wasn't until virtual reality 808 00:40:26,980 --> 00:40:24,170 really started to take off over the last 809 00:40:29,170 --> 00:40:26,990 couple of years that I started to say 810 00:40:32,410 --> 00:40:29,180 okay now we can see a direct path from 811 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:32,420 today's technology to something like The 812 00:40:37,569 --> 00:40:34,930 Matrix and so I was playing a a 813 00:40:39,099 --> 00:40:37,579 ping-pong game table tennis game with 814 00:40:41,049 --> 00:40:39,109 the virtual reality glasses it was a 815 00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:41,059 firm in Silicon Valley up and see 816 00:40:45,130 --> 00:40:43,760 Sausalito and so I was using the 817 00:40:47,770 --> 00:40:45,140 controllers and I was playing ping pong 818 00:40:50,380 --> 00:40:47,780 against an imaginary opponent it was so 819 00:40:53,039 --> 00:40:50,390 realistic I was so immersed with the way 820 00:40:56,859 --> 00:40:53,049 the glasses were and the way that 821 00:40:59,559 --> 00:40:56,869 responsiveness to my movements were that 822 00:41:01,569 --> 00:40:59,569 at the end of the game I decided okay 823 00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:01,579 I'm gonna put the paddle down on the 824 00:41:05,740 --> 00:41:03,440 table and I'm gonna lean against the 825 00:41:07,539 --> 00:41:05,750 table and what happened of course there 826 00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:07,549 was no paddle it's just a controller and 827 00:41:12,370 --> 00:41:10,730 there was no table you solo battle fell 828 00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:12,380 on the floor and almost fell on the 829 00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:14,510 floor myself and that's when I realized 830 00:41:18,069 --> 00:41:16,609 that immersion was we're starting to get 831 00:41:20,530 --> 00:41:18,079 to the point where we could fool 832 00:41:22,299 --> 00:41:20,540 ourselves and we could fool our bodies 833 00:41:23,230 --> 00:41:22,309 and our minds into thinking we were 834 00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:23,240 somewhere 835 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:24,860 we really weren't so that was one of my 836 00:41:31,330 --> 00:41:27,290 conversion experiences that I had around 837 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:31,340 this topic I I got so into and so did 838 00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:37,090 Rita we got so into Sims I mean really 839 00:41:43,930 --> 00:41:40,960 into Sims and we're downloading 840 00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:43,940 furniture and houses and and you know 841 00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:45,680 and inserting that stuff into the game 842 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:48,710 but anyway you get so into Sims and then 843 00:41:55,359 --> 00:41:51,770 go to a furniture store like IKEA and 844 00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:55,369 walk around and your head is so twisted 845 00:41:59,770 --> 00:41:57,890 up everywhere you look you're looking at 846 00:42:01,840 --> 00:41:59,780 furniture from the Sims and you're 847 00:42:04,359 --> 00:42:01,850 thinking about your house that's your 848 00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:04,369 building in Sims and you're looking at 849 00:42:10,150 --> 00:42:06,800 the people walking around inside of IKEA 850 00:42:13,630 --> 00:42:10,160 like the people that walk around in Sims 851 00:42:16,330 --> 00:42:13,640 it's a twisted thought but unless you've 852 00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:16,340 gone through your table tennis 853 00:42:20,859 --> 00:42:19,280 experience or gone through an experience 854 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:20,869 like with Sims where you're fully 855 00:42:25,870 --> 00:42:23,570 immersed you don't really get it but you 856 00:42:29,790 --> 00:42:25,880 start to understand that a virtual world 857 00:42:32,349 --> 00:42:29,800 can be created and you can live in it 858 00:42:35,020 --> 00:42:32,359 yeah absolutely and in fact you know 859 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:35,030 they've done research that shows that if 860 00:42:40,060 --> 00:42:37,130 you have a virtual character smile at 861 00:42:43,690 --> 00:42:40,070 you that produces a very similar 862 00:42:46,510 --> 00:42:43,700 reaction to biochemical reaction to if 863 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:46,520 someone was really smiling at you and so 864 00:42:51,940 --> 00:42:49,970 that the lines start to blur between the 865 00:42:52,990 --> 00:42:51,950 virtual world and the real world and you 866 00:42:55,060 --> 00:42:53,000 know I didn't spend as much time with 867 00:42:56,349 --> 00:42:55,070 Sims but but you know I know about that 868 00:42:59,349 --> 00:42:56,359 and I used to spend time in Second Life 869 00:43:01,570 --> 00:42:59,359 which was also a shared virtual world 870 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:01,580 and you would go in and people would 871 00:43:05,530 --> 00:43:03,530 create all kinds of structures within 872 00:43:08,109 --> 00:43:05,540 this world and those structures would 873 00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:08,119 live you know while they log out and 874 00:43:12,430 --> 00:43:10,640 other people would log in and I remember 875 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:12,440 thinking to myself well what happens to 876 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:14,930 these structures when nobody is logged 877 00:43:19,830 --> 00:43:18,290 in are they actually there or not and so 878 00:43:23,859 --> 00:43:19,840 then I started to get into the 879 00:43:27,310 --> 00:43:23,869 philosophical side of what is a shared 880 00:43:30,609 --> 00:43:27,320 online world in an MMORPG like does it 881 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:30,619 actually exist somewhere or is it just 882 00:43:36,769 --> 00:43:34,170 information stored on a cloud server 883 00:43:38,870 --> 00:43:36,779 and the rendered world and this is a 884 00:43:40,700 --> 00:43:38,880 term I use a lot in the book both for 885 00:43:45,289 --> 00:43:40,710 video games and for the world we see 886 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:45,299 around us the world is only rendered on 887 00:43:50,809 --> 00:43:48,690 my computer by my local processor right 888 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:50,819 therefore the pixels of that world don't 889 00:43:55,519 --> 00:43:52,650 actually exist somewhere that we're all 890 00:43:57,710 --> 00:43:55,529 looking at them so if you and I are 891 00:44:01,039 --> 00:43:57,720 logged into the sims online or a second 892 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:01,049 life or world of warcraft right we think 893 00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:03,210 we're seeing the same thing right and 894 00:44:07,910 --> 00:44:05,670 the information may be similar but it's 895 00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:07,920 being rendered by algorithms on our own 896 00:44:13,190 --> 00:44:10,319 computers and so that's an interesting 897 00:44:15,259 --> 00:44:13,200 philosophical question and I think it's 898 00:44:17,569 --> 00:44:15,269 something that that that if you think 899 00:44:19,130 --> 00:44:17,579 seriously about it we'll talk about 900 00:44:21,259 --> 00:44:19,140 quantum physics you know a little bit 901 00:44:23,660 --> 00:44:21,269 later but it starts to get into this 902 00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:23,670 idea of quantum indeterminacy and the 903 00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:24,960 subjective world 904 00:44:29,450 --> 00:44:26,730 I mean they've done research recently 905 00:44:32,089 --> 00:44:29,460 that suggests that there is no objective 906 00:44:34,450 --> 00:44:32,099 world in the quantum rounds that I could 907 00:44:36,650 --> 00:44:34,460 be seeing you know three particles 908 00:44:38,420 --> 00:44:36,660 entangled in one way and you could be 909 00:44:39,470 --> 00:44:38,430 seen you could be seeing them entangled 910 00:44:41,870 --> 00:44:39,480 in a different way and we'd be looking 911 00:44:44,749 --> 00:44:41,880 at the same six particles which means 912 00:44:46,700 --> 00:44:44,759 that there could be slightly different 913 00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:46,710 renderings of the world going on and we 914 00:44:50,210 --> 00:44:48,089 we wouldn't necessarily know that 915 00:44:52,749 --> 00:44:50,220 because we can only see our rendering of 916 00:44:55,249 --> 00:44:52,759 the world and so this idea of a 917 00:44:57,650 --> 00:44:55,259 informational world and a rendered world 918 00:44:59,660 --> 00:44:57,660 where our character lives you know I 919 00:45:00,920 --> 00:44:59,670 think it's one of the the big metaphors 920 00:45:03,529 --> 00:45:00,930 that I explore in the book and one of 921 00:45:04,730 --> 00:45:03,539 the big reasons why the simulation 922 00:45:07,789 --> 00:45:04,740 hypothesis should be taken seriously 923 00:45:10,099 --> 00:45:07,799 well and and that's the science side of 924 00:45:12,829 --> 00:45:10,109 it today which I want to spend a lot of 925 00:45:16,069 --> 00:45:12,839 time talking about but the other part is 926 00:45:18,380 --> 00:45:16,079 it's exactly what when we get out of the 927 00:45:20,269 --> 00:45:18,390 electronic age or the computer age and 928 00:45:22,849 --> 00:45:20,279 go backwards where you get into young 929 00:45:25,460 --> 00:45:22,859 and then start going even before that 930 00:45:27,589 --> 00:45:25,470 and get into different world religions 931 00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:27,599 and different aspects this is exactly 932 00:45:34,069 --> 00:45:31,730 what they have been referencing forever 933 00:45:37,220 --> 00:45:34,079 yeah in fact you know one of the reasons 934 00:45:39,890 --> 00:45:37,230 a big fan of the simulation hypothesis 935 00:45:42,019 --> 00:45:39,900 is that science and religion have kind 936 00:45:44,870 --> 00:45:42,029 of gone their separate ways many times 937 00:45:46,450 --> 00:45:44,880 right a lot of academics and scientists 938 00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:46,460 don't take religion seriously 939 00:45:51,730 --> 00:45:49,310 except as a social contract they've 940 00:45:53,859 --> 00:45:51,740 given up trying to explain any of the 941 00:45:56,380 --> 00:45:53,869 things that are talked about you know on 942 00:45:58,270 --> 00:45:56,390 the religious side but turns out the 943 00:46:01,530 --> 00:45:58,280 simulation hypothesis provides a 944 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:01,540 scientific basis for a lot of what 945 00:46:06,339 --> 00:46:04,130 different religions have been telling us 946 00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:06,349 right and it turns out it's not just the 947 00:46:12,700 --> 00:46:08,270 Western religions but the Eastern 948 00:46:15,790 --> 00:46:12,710 religions they both fit very well I mean 949 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:15,800 I I'll give you an example so you know I 950 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:20,330 grew up in a Muslim household and the 951 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:22,970 Quran being one of the Abrahamic you 952 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:25,130 know religions with Islam Judaism and 953 00:46:30,940 --> 00:46:28,130 Christianity they talk about the scroll 954 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:30,950 of Deeds which gets recorded by these 955 00:46:34,990 --> 00:46:33,410 recording angels and they sit there and 956 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:35,000 they record every little deed that you 957 00:46:39,790 --> 00:46:37,490 do and you know this is what they told 958 00:46:43,329 --> 00:46:39,800 us when we were growing up and then 959 00:46:45,940 --> 00:46:43,339 later after you die you have to account 960 00:46:48,490 --> 00:46:45,950 for those and turns out God shows you 961 00:46:50,770 --> 00:46:48,500 those deeds and he shows them to you in 962 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:50,780 a different way because you may not be 963 00:46:55,900 --> 00:46:53,450 aware of how your actions affected other 964 00:46:57,550 --> 00:46:55,910 people and so you can't just see a list 965 00:47:00,609 --> 00:46:57,560 you have to actually see what the impact 966 00:47:02,290 --> 00:47:00,619 was of those deeds well just last year I 967 00:47:07,300 --> 00:47:02,300 was working with a start-up that could 968 00:47:09,579 --> 00:47:07,310 render inside a video game in 3d from 969 00:47:11,109 --> 00:47:09,589 any point inside the game so if anyone's 970 00:47:13,180 --> 00:47:11,119 played World of Warcraft or League of 971 00:47:15,210 --> 00:47:13,190 Legends there's a 3d World and normally 972 00:47:18,010 --> 00:47:15,220 you can only see your characters 973 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:18,020 perspective but we were able to put the 974 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:20,450 virtual camera anywhere inside the game 975 00:47:25,930 --> 00:47:23,210 so you could literally see what the game 976 00:47:27,849 --> 00:47:25,940 looked like from another player's 977 00:47:30,609 --> 00:47:27,859 perspective so you could see exactly 978 00:47:33,310 --> 00:47:30,619 what you did to them and it turns out 979 00:47:35,710 --> 00:47:33,320 you know they're probably aren't you 980 00:47:38,260 --> 00:47:35,720 know 14 billion angels - for each of us 981 00:47:41,230 --> 00:47:38,270 if all they do is record things most 982 00:47:42,670 --> 00:47:41,240 likely it would have to be an AI of some 983 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:42,680 type that's recording these like a 984 00:47:47,650 --> 00:47:45,050 screen capture in a video game and then 985 00:47:49,270 --> 00:47:47,660 you can play it back and so you know it 986 00:47:52,089 --> 00:47:49,280 turns out that a lot of what that the 987 00:47:53,770 --> 00:47:52,099 world's religions were talking about was 988 00:47:55,420 --> 00:47:53,780 very similar to the simulation 989 00:47:57,550 --> 00:47:55,430 hypothesis I mean you had dannion 990 00:47:58,900 --> 00:47:57,560 brinkley on your show many times and you 991 00:47:59,750 --> 00:47:58,910 know he and I have talked about this a 992 00:48:01,880 --> 00:47:59,760 lot and 993 00:48:04,340 --> 00:48:01,890 when he had his near-death experience 994 00:48:06,859 --> 00:48:04,350 you know he was shown a life review he 995 00:48:10,130 --> 00:48:06,869 called it a panoramic 360 life review 996 00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:10,140 where you would actually see the effects 997 00:48:13,130 --> 00:48:11,609 of your actions you know if you point 998 00:48:14,900 --> 00:48:13,140 someone or you shot someone you would 999 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:14,910 see it from their point of view and the 1000 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:16,890 only way to do that is to record it in 1001 00:48:21,290 --> 00:48:18,930 this kind of a 3d way in the same way 1002 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:21,300 that we use screen capture within video 1003 00:48:24,470 --> 00:48:23,130 games and then to re-render it 1004 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:24,480 afterwards so it turns out the 1005 00:48:29,810 --> 00:48:27,330 technology of video games you know 1006 00:48:30,730 --> 00:48:29,820 explains pretty well you know many of 1007 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:30,740 the things and that's just one example 1008 00:48:38,660 --> 00:48:34,290 isn't that I mean couldn't you take like 1009 00:48:42,730 --> 00:48:38,670 the example of heaven and earth where 1010 00:48:47,510 --> 00:48:42,740 heaven is presented as the real world 1011 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:47,520 right that earth is just a is is not the 1012 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:48,330 real thing 1013 00:48:54,170 --> 00:48:51,090 heaven is heaven is the real world and 1014 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:54,180 there's an example of if you're you know 1015 00:48:58,940 --> 00:48:56,010 if you're down here on earth you're 1016 00:49:02,240 --> 00:48:58,950 living in the simulation the real world 1017 00:49:03,620 --> 00:49:02,250 is heaven that's exactly right and 1018 00:49:05,330 --> 00:49:03,630 that's what you know the world's 1019 00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:05,340 religions have been telling us all along 1020 00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:07,680 is that what we're seeing is more of a 1021 00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:11,280 training ground right where score is 1022 00:49:17,900 --> 00:49:14,640 being kept and we are being judged based 1023 00:49:20,599 --> 00:49:17,910 on those actions in the real world and 1024 00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:20,609 we won't know that you know until we die 1025 00:49:28,820 --> 00:49:25,040 and and so you know consciousness is 1026 00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:28,830 downloaded if you will to the body at 1027 00:49:35,210 --> 00:49:32,609 birth and then uploaded it from the body 1028 00:49:37,190 --> 00:49:35,220 afterwards at death so you're back in 1029 00:49:39,140 --> 00:49:37,200 the real world and so what does that 1030 00:49:42,410 --> 00:49:39,150 sound like it sounds a lot like a 1031 00:49:44,990 --> 00:49:42,420 role-playing game yep where you end up 1032 00:49:46,790 --> 00:49:45,000 taking on a particular character but a 1033 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:46,800 very immersive one right so it's very 1034 00:49:51,620 --> 00:49:49,410 hard for us to remember these other 1035 00:49:54,620 --> 00:49:51,630 realms while we're here so it's a fully 1036 00:49:56,060 --> 00:49:54,630 immersive game but you know this idea of 1037 00:49:58,310 --> 00:49:56,070 downloading consciousness is something 1038 00:50:00,320 --> 00:49:58,320 that Silicon Valley is taking very 1039 00:50:01,490 --> 00:50:00,330 seriously now right you have people who 1040 00:50:03,710 --> 00:50:01,500 are talking about downloading your 1041 00:50:05,150 --> 00:50:03,720 consciousness into a silicon device well 1042 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:05,160 it turns out you know the religions have 1043 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:06,930 been telling us all along and 1044 00:50:11,980 --> 00:50:09,170 particularly as you look at the Eastern 1045 00:50:14,589 --> 00:50:11,990 traditions like Buddhism and Hinduism 1046 00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:14,599 and that whole line I mean they've been 1047 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:16,460 explicitly telling us and you don't even 1048 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:18,290 have to draw an analogy they've been 1049 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:20,810 saying that what we see is Maya or 1050 00:50:26,500 --> 00:50:23,810 illusion right this isn't the real world 1051 00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:26,510 and the real world is beyond that 1052 00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:28,910 illusion in fact in the Vedas the Hindu 1053 00:50:34,030 --> 00:50:31,250 traditions they have a term called the 1054 00:50:36,370 --> 00:50:34,040 Leela which is the grand play a stage 1055 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:36,380 play right we get so caught up in the 1056 00:50:41,170 --> 00:50:38,810 stage play of life that we're caught in 1057 00:50:42,970 --> 00:50:41,180 this illusion of Maya and we think we're 1058 00:50:44,410 --> 00:50:42,980 in the real world well you know 1059 00:50:46,780 --> 00:50:44,420 obviously back then they didn't have 1060 00:50:50,349 --> 00:50:46,790 video games so a stage place seemed like 1061 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:50,359 a good road analogy but today if it's an 1062 00:50:55,630 --> 00:50:53,210 interactive stage play with lots and 1063 00:50:58,420 --> 00:50:55,640 lots of characters that are being coming 1064 00:51:00,780 --> 00:50:58,430 in and out of the play it sounds a heck 1065 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:00,790 of a lot like a you know multiplayer 1066 00:51:05,290 --> 00:51:03,290 online role-playing game where you take 1067 00:51:06,910 --> 00:51:05,300 on these different personas and you 1068 00:51:09,820 --> 00:51:06,920 download into it and then you download 1069 00:51:11,380 --> 00:51:09,830 out of it what is it that way you know 1070 00:51:13,810 --> 00:51:11,390 we talk about it so often 1071 00:51:16,630 --> 00:51:13,820 Riz about what the ancients knew and 1072 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:16,640 what we've lost over time but when you 1073 00:51:22,270 --> 00:51:18,290 go back and you look at the Vedic text 1074 00:51:25,390 --> 00:51:22,280 or is Sumerian text or what Plato wrote 1075 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:25,400 about and all of the other imagery from 1076 00:51:33,810 --> 00:51:29,930 from Greece and Rome in Egypt where this 1077 00:51:37,390 --> 00:51:33,820 conversation was pretty solid you know 1078 00:51:39,339 --> 00:51:37,400 about the possibility of not knowing 1079 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:39,349 what the real world is that we are 1080 00:51:44,349 --> 00:51:42,290 living in something else yeah and 1081 00:51:46,300 --> 00:51:44,359 there's a very famous you know allegory 1082 00:51:48,579 --> 00:51:46,310 that Plato wrote about in the republic 1083 00:51:50,530 --> 00:51:48,589 of the cave which probably many 1084 00:51:52,210 --> 00:51:50,540 listeners have heard of but the basic 1085 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:52,220 idea was he said if you if you're in a 1086 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:54,170 cave and you're chained to a wall and 1087 00:51:59,170 --> 00:51:57,170 you can't really see outside the cave 1088 00:52:01,420 --> 00:51:59,180 but you can see you know from the mouth 1089 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:01,430 of the cave you can see shadows of 1090 00:52:07,359 --> 00:52:05,210 what's going on outside the cave and you 1091 00:52:10,060 --> 00:52:07,369 know Plato used the analogy that that is 1092 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:10,070 what we are like we're like prisoners 1093 00:52:13,859 --> 00:52:11,930 chained to the wall and we only see 1094 00:52:18,010 --> 00:52:13,869 shadows so you develop a whole 1095 00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:18,020 vocabulary for what is going on based on 1096 00:52:20,500 --> 00:52:19,609 these shadows that we're seeing against 1097 00:52:22,420 --> 00:52:20,510 the wall but we don't know where the 1098 00:52:24,339 --> 00:52:22,430 lights coming from you know the Sun 1099 00:52:25,660 --> 00:52:24,349 could be outside the cave and it could 1100 00:52:28,420 --> 00:52:25,670 be causing these shadows and 1101 00:52:31,030 --> 00:52:28,430 reflections of real people and he also 1102 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:31,040 said that if someone were to escape from 1103 00:52:35,049 --> 00:52:33,290 the cave first he would be blinded by 1104 00:52:36,609 --> 00:52:35,059 the light but then secondly if he came 1105 00:52:38,049 --> 00:52:36,619 back and tried to tell everybody that's 1106 00:52:41,349 --> 00:52:38,059 chained up in the cave what happened 1107 00:52:43,750 --> 00:52:41,359 they would say he was crazy which is 1108 00:52:45,370 --> 00:52:43,760 often what happens when somebody has an 1109 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:45,380 Enlightenment experience and they feel 1110 00:52:50,170 --> 00:52:47,450 that they've you know glimpsed something 1111 00:52:53,799 --> 00:52:50,180 beyond the the illicit world around us 1112 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:53,809 and so all of these traditions this idea 1113 00:53:00,460 --> 00:52:57,170 of you know reincarnation as well where 1114 00:53:03,099 --> 00:53:00,470 you have a set of tasks that get built 1115 00:53:04,750 --> 00:53:03,109 up so you know you mentioned that I'm a 1116 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:04,760 video game designer and I've been 1117 00:53:06,579 --> 00:53:06,170 working on video games for the past ten 1118 00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:06,589 years 1119 00:53:11,890 --> 00:53:09,230 well most video games have this idea of 1120 00:53:13,539 --> 00:53:11,900 a quest engine and you have to like you 1121 00:53:16,270 --> 00:53:13,549 know go kill the goblin king or you have 1122 00:53:17,109 --> 00:53:16,280 to go get this many pieces of gold or 1123 00:53:19,359 --> 00:53:17,119 you have to find this particular 1124 00:53:22,390 --> 00:53:19,369 treasure and when you complete the quest 1125 00:53:25,089 --> 00:53:22,400 you go on to the next quest well if you 1126 00:53:26,950 --> 00:53:25,099 look at the structure of karma and how 1127 00:53:30,099 --> 00:53:26,960 its described in the eastern text it's 1128 00:53:32,740 --> 00:53:30,109 basically a way to keep track of these 1129 00:53:34,030 --> 00:53:32,750 things that you have to do so you know 1130 00:53:35,530 --> 00:53:34,040 they tell us in the Eastern traditions 1131 00:53:37,569 --> 00:53:35,540 that we create karma with all of our 1132 00:53:39,490 --> 00:53:37,579 actions well how would that actually 1133 00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:39,500 work it would have to be stored 1134 00:53:46,089 --> 00:53:43,250 somewhere outside the rendered world and 1135 00:53:48,609 --> 00:53:46,099 then we would have to basically as we go 1136 00:53:50,049 --> 00:53:48,619 through the world and particularly as 1137 00:53:52,510 --> 00:53:50,059 you go into the next life you would have 1138 00:53:54,609 --> 00:53:52,520 to then go and take care of that karma 1139 00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:54,619 so if you think of a series of quests 1140 00:53:59,559 --> 00:53:57,890 that are there you know it turns out and 1141 00:54:01,390 --> 00:53:59,569 in the book I have a whole diagram of 1142 00:54:03,339 --> 00:54:01,400 what a quest engine would look like that 1143 00:54:06,099 --> 00:54:03,349 could explain Karma provides a pretty 1144 00:54:08,260 --> 00:54:06,109 interesting scientific basis for this 1145 00:54:09,789 --> 00:54:08,270 model that people have been telling us 1146 00:54:12,250 --> 00:54:09,799 you know all through the ages this is 1147 00:54:16,859 --> 00:54:12,260 really how the universe works yeah I 1148 00:54:20,349 --> 00:54:16,869 also look at it's a weird way to 1149 00:54:21,970 --> 00:54:20,359 understand this but if you look at a 1150 00:54:25,390 --> 00:54:21,980 fish in a fish bowl 1151 00:54:28,660 --> 00:54:25,400 okay that's his world and we look out 1152 00:54:30,549 --> 00:54:28,670 here a you know our living room right 1153 00:54:34,390 --> 00:54:30,559 and you've got the fish bowl sitting on 1154 00:54:36,789 --> 00:54:34,400 the coffee table that fish did and that 1155 00:54:39,380 --> 00:54:36,799 us out here in the living that's a whole 1156 00:54:41,359 --> 00:54:39,390 nother dimension right he doesn't he 1157 00:54:44,870 --> 00:54:41,369 understanding he didn't even see it he 1158 00:54:46,549 --> 00:54:44,880 doesn't understand Trull ate to it but 1159 00:54:48,710 --> 00:54:46,559 you take him out of that fishmoley to 1160 00:54:50,450 --> 00:54:48,720 have a heart attack he wouldn't he could 1161 00:54:53,720 --> 00:54:50,460 not you know what I mean he couldn't 1162 00:54:56,029 --> 00:54:53,730 relate to well we could be the fish in 1163 00:54:58,190 --> 00:54:56,039 the fishbowl and we could be part of 1164 00:54:59,750 --> 00:54:58,200 that and we don't understand really 1165 00:55:02,660 --> 00:54:59,760 what's going on with this other 1166 00:55:06,529 --> 00:55:02,670 dimension that could be outside of of 1167 00:55:08,329 --> 00:55:06,539 where we exist yeah I think that's you 1168 00:55:10,370 --> 00:55:08,339 know exactly right and the fish flow 1169 00:55:13,250 --> 00:55:10,380 analogy is a good one because you know 1170 00:55:16,009 --> 00:55:13,260 the material world being like the water 1171 00:55:18,019 --> 00:55:16,019 in this case and so you know this is 1172 00:55:20,029 --> 00:55:18,029 when if you were to take a purely 1173 00:55:23,509 --> 00:55:20,039 materialistic view of the world you know 1174 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:23,519 you would say that you know there's just 1175 00:55:27,170 --> 00:55:25,650 the water and nothing outside of that 1176 00:55:29,420 --> 00:55:27,180 could actually exist and you couldn't 1177 00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:29,430 really figure out how this stuff worked 1178 00:55:35,359 --> 00:55:32,329 but we've had hints and clues all along 1179 00:55:38,259 --> 00:55:35,369 and you know even as you get into the 1180 00:55:43,670 --> 00:55:38,269 physics and you get into the biology 1181 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:43,680 every field of science is basically 1182 00:55:49,549 --> 00:55:46,410 finding that underneath it's all about 1183 00:55:52,579 --> 00:55:49,559 information in computation and it's not 1184 00:55:54,710 --> 00:55:52,589 so much about the physical world itself 1185 00:55:56,359 --> 00:55:54,720 and so I think that's an important point 1186 00:55:58,690 --> 00:55:56,369 that's why you know the simulation 1187 00:56:02,059 --> 00:55:58,700 hypothesis I think can bridge the gap 1188 00:56:05,150 --> 00:56:02,069 between the spiritual and religious 1189 00:56:06,589 --> 00:56:05,160 traditions and the materialistic you 1190 00:56:08,990 --> 00:56:06,599 know scientific point of view I 1191 00:56:10,970 --> 00:56:09,000 mentioned Oxford's Nick Bostrom you know 1192 00:56:12,589 --> 00:56:10,980 he he says online that many times he 1193 00:56:15,019 --> 00:56:12,599 said a friends of his who were 1194 00:56:16,190 --> 00:56:15,029 university professors were atheists who 1195 00:56:18,140 --> 00:56:16,200 after they look at the simulation 1196 00:56:21,620 --> 00:56:18,150 hypothesis a little more seriously say 1197 00:56:24,499 --> 00:56:21,630 well maybe the logical thing to do is to 1198 00:56:27,019 --> 00:56:24,509 be an agnostic because anyone that was 1199 00:56:29,809 --> 00:56:27,029 outside the simulation might look like 1200 00:56:31,519 --> 00:56:29,819 gods or eight angels or super high 1201 00:56:32,870 --> 00:56:31,529 overall beings to the people inside the 1202 00:56:35,059 --> 00:56:32,880 simulation right from the fish's 1203 00:56:36,890 --> 00:56:35,069 perspective but we can pick up the bowl 1204 00:56:41,319 --> 00:56:36,900 and move it looking what kind of beings 1205 00:56:44,749 --> 00:56:41,329 are we for from that perspective the 1206 00:56:47,210 --> 00:56:44,759 ties together that's exactly the point 1207 00:56:50,509 --> 00:56:47,220 I mean how mind blowing is that well for 1208 00:56:51,349 --> 00:56:50,519 us moving the fishbowl is just moving 1209 00:56:52,740 --> 00:56:51,359 the fishbowl 1210 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:52,750 so a 1211 00:56:57,990 --> 00:56:55,810 as being the fish not understanding who 1212 00:57:01,740 --> 00:56:58,000 could be controlling us outside of our 1213 00:57:04,350 --> 00:57:01,750 world it's a fascinating thought and if 1214 00:57:06,330 --> 00:57:04,360 it's as simple for us to grasp about the 1215 00:57:08,310 --> 00:57:06,340 fishbowl then what would be the 1216 00:57:11,910 --> 00:57:08,320 difference the answer's nothing there 1217 00:57:13,710 --> 00:57:11,920 isn't a difference yeah that's right and 1218 00:57:17,610 --> 00:57:13,720 so things that look supernatural or 1219 00:57:21,060 --> 00:57:17,620 actually just a regular part you know of 1220 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:21,070 how the world works yeah I talked about 1221 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:23,050 downloading of consciousness since we're 1222 00:57:27,180 --> 00:57:24,970 talking about the the ancient traditions 1223 00:57:30,030 --> 00:57:27,190 I'll talk a little bit more about that 1224 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:30,040 you know in the Tibetan traditions they 1225 00:57:33,660 --> 00:57:31,810 say that the world is like a dream and 1226 00:57:36,420 --> 00:57:33,670 this is an analogy that comes up again 1227 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:36,430 and again and you know what is a dream 1228 00:57:43,140 --> 00:57:39,370 but a mini simulation right when we're 1229 00:57:45,690 --> 00:57:43,150 inside of it we think that it's real but 1230 00:57:47,310 --> 00:57:45,700 then we wake up and we realize that it 1231 00:57:49,590 --> 00:57:47,320 wasn't necessarily real well in the 1232 00:57:52,470 --> 00:57:49,600 Tibetan traditions there's a whole field 1233 00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:52,480 called dream yoga and the idea is they 1234 00:57:56,940 --> 00:57:54,280 train you to wake up within the dream 1235 00:58:00,240 --> 00:57:56,950 and to realize that the dream you're 1236 00:58:03,210 --> 00:58:00,250 seeing is an illusion and that process 1237 00:58:05,490 --> 00:58:03,220 is meant to then help you wake up in 1238 00:58:07,890 --> 00:58:05,500 real life kind of I guess the that would 1239 00:58:09,540 --> 00:58:07,900 be the the Tibetan Buddhist version of 1240 00:58:12,090 --> 00:58:09,550 the red pill you know versus the blue 1241 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:12,100 pill to actually realize that what's 1242 00:58:17,610 --> 00:58:15,730 going on around you is is like a dream 1243 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:17,620 and that the consciousness you know 1244 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:19,090 there's a consciousness outside of it 1245 00:58:24,270 --> 00:58:21,850 and so this is why I like the videogame 1246 00:58:26,940 --> 00:58:24,280 analogy because in video games you have 1247 00:58:29,790 --> 00:58:26,950 a player and then you have a character a 1248 00:58:31,710 --> 00:58:29,800 PC that a player character that you are 1249 00:58:33,750 --> 00:58:31,720 playing and so there's consciousness 1250 00:58:35,700 --> 00:58:33,760 outside of the game and there's a player 1251 00:58:37,260 --> 00:58:35,710 within the video game now not everybody 1252 00:58:39,450 --> 00:58:37,270 subscribes to that right some people 1253 00:58:42,540 --> 00:58:39,460 think we're in a simulation and 1254 00:58:44,310 --> 00:58:42,550 everybody is just AI or simulated 1255 00:58:46,290 --> 00:58:44,320 consciousness right and so those that 1256 00:58:49,290 --> 00:58:46,300 that's a big debate within the world of 1257 00:58:51,090 --> 00:58:49,300 the simulation hypothesis but I tend to 1258 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:51,100 subscribe to the that's why you know 1259 00:58:55,410 --> 00:58:53,050 video games is in the in this book I 1260 00:58:57,540 --> 00:58:55,420 really use my background in designing 1261 00:58:58,770 --> 00:58:57,550 and creating video games and I was 1262 00:59:00,900 --> 00:58:58,780 talking about the Tibetan traditions 1263 00:59:03,330 --> 00:59:00,910 they also have what are called the sixty 1264 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:03,340 Oguz of Naropa one of which is dream 1265 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:05,290 yoga turns out there's a there's a 1266 00:59:08,020 --> 00:59:06,170 secret 1267 00:59:11,140 --> 00:59:08,030 vii yoga called the yoga of 1268 00:59:12,610 --> 00:59:11,150 consciousness projects forceful 1269 00:59:14,500 --> 00:59:12,620 projection and consciousness 1270 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:14,510 transference and the idea is you can 1271 00:59:17,620 --> 00:59:16,250 actually if you're trained to do this 1272 00:59:19,660 --> 00:59:17,630 and they keep it secret for obvious 1273 00:59:21,790 --> 00:59:19,670 reasons you can actually project your 1274 00:59:24,550 --> 00:59:21,800 consciousness out of your body into 1275 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:24,560 another biological organism so it's just 1276 00:59:28,630 --> 00:59:26,450 like learning how to upload and download 1277 00:59:33,190 --> 00:59:28,640 your consciousness and there's a famous 1278 00:59:35,890 --> 00:59:33,200 story of marpa who is a famous tibetan 1279 00:59:38,170 --> 00:59:35,900 yogi his son fell off a horse and was 1280 00:59:40,810 --> 00:59:38,180 about to die he ended up projecting his 1281 00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:40,820 consciousness into a pigeon that was 1282 00:59:45,190 --> 00:59:43,340 nearby the pigeon flew to India and he 1283 00:59:47,710 --> 00:59:45,200 then transferred his consciousness to a 1284 00:59:49,180 --> 00:59:47,720 recently deceased younger man you know 1285 00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:49,190 they had these graveyards back then they 1286 00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:51,710 didn't always cremate people and he 1287 00:59:55,900 --> 00:59:53,300 basically transformed himself into a new 1288 00:59:58,390 --> 00:59:55,910 body and kept teaching you know that 1289 01:00:01,270 --> 00:59:58,400 that yoga of consciousness transference 1290 01:00:02,890 --> 01:00:01,280 so it sounds a little morbid but you 1291 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:02,900 know it's not unlike what people in 1292 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:04,250 Silicon Valley are talking about today 1293 01:00:08,380 --> 01:00:06,170 which is saying they want to transfer 1294 01:00:11,910 --> 01:00:08,390 their consciousness to Silicon to try to 1295 01:00:14,470 --> 01:00:11,920 get to this idea of digital immortality 1296 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:14,480 let's take a break right here our

--> 01:05:59,000 [Music] 1423 01:06:10,400 --> 01:05:59,320 [Applause] 1424 01:06:10,410 --> 01:06:14,500 [Music] 1425 01:06:18,849 --> 01:06:16,849 welcome back fade to black chimera me 1426 01:06:21,230 --> 01:06:18,859 church tonight rizz Burke is with us 1427 01:06:24,049 --> 01:06:21,240 discussing his new book the simulation 1428 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:24,059 hypothesis you go and order yours now at 1429 01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:27,210 Zen entrepreneur.com the links for that 1430 01:06:32,630 --> 01:06:30,930 override Jimmy Church radio calm and now 1431 01:06:35,660 --> 01:06:32,640 picking up where we left off whereas I 1432 01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:35,670 want to really get into the science side 1433 01:06:40,220 --> 01:06:37,230 of this I think that everybody is 1434 01:06:41,630 --> 01:06:40,230 waiting for you know the physicists and 1435 01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:41,640 scientists around the world will step up 1436 01:06:46,849 --> 01:06:43,890 and go okay it's all a simulation okay 1437 01:06:49,370 --> 01:06:46,859 and and here's why but before we get to 1438 01:06:52,549 --> 01:06:49,380 that I want to throw this out what if 1439 01:06:55,609 --> 01:06:52,559 because the consciousness side of this 1440 01:06:58,430 --> 01:06:55,619 and downloading that it's one thing with 1441 01:07:01,940 --> 01:06:58,440 ones and zeros but let's say that you 1442 01:07:06,349 --> 01:07:01,950 exist in a simulated reality right and 1443 01:07:09,799 --> 01:07:06,359 and Risberg then goes in and downloads 1444 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:09,809 his consciousness and self inside of 1445 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:13,770 said simulation wait a minute 1446 01:07:19,190 --> 01:07:16,170 are we creating some kind of crazy 1447 01:07:23,299 --> 01:07:19,200 feedback loop and then inside of that 1448 01:07:27,220 --> 01:07:23,309 simulation you do it once again and you 1449 01:07:30,620 --> 01:07:27,230 are now two or three times removed from 1450 01:07:34,549 --> 01:07:30,630 what would be perceived as your real 1451 01:07:38,599 --> 01:07:34,559 self all right so it's like a matrix you 1452 01:07:42,470 --> 01:07:38,609 know within the matrix right and this is 1453 01:07:45,589 --> 01:07:42,480 something that I think is very it's 1454 01:07:47,390 --> 01:07:45,599 speculated a lot you know within people 1455 01:07:49,970 --> 01:07:47,400 who like to talk about the simulation 1456 01:07:52,430 --> 01:07:49,980 hypothesis and you know in my book I 1457 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:52,440 spent about a third of the book talking 1458 01:07:58,130 --> 01:07:55,290 about the technology and how would we 1459 01:07:59,599 --> 01:07:58,140 build the matrix in fact a head article 1460 01:08:01,609 --> 01:07:59,609 in TechCrunch today that was you know 1461 01:08:04,870 --> 01:08:01,619 how to build a matrix looking at the 1462 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:04,880 technology twenty years later and 1463 01:08:12,289 --> 01:08:08,250 basically the first parts of that 1464 01:08:13,970 --> 01:08:12,299 roadmap you know map pretty well to what 1465 01:08:15,470 --> 01:08:13,980 we've already developed in terms of our 1466 01:08:17,630 --> 01:08:15,480 video games starting with text 1467 01:08:21,470 --> 01:08:17,640 adventures which came up with this idea 1468 01:08:23,030 --> 01:08:21,480 of a world in the computer right before 1469 01:08:25,870 --> 01:08:23,040 that and one had ever really thought 1470 01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:25,880 about that and you had to use your mind 1471 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:27,810 to really 1472 01:08:32,690 --> 01:08:29,730 realized the world right then we went to 1473 01:08:34,849 --> 01:08:32,700 arcade games like asteroids and Space 1474 01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:34,859 Invaders and you know I used to play on 1475 01:08:38,450 --> 01:08:37,050 my Atari back in the early nineties you 1476 01:08:41,420 --> 01:08:38,460 know I used to play these racing games 1477 01:08:43,430 --> 01:08:41,430 and I'd always wonder what was going on 1478 01:08:45,170 --> 01:08:43,440 in that that racing game beyond the 1479 01:08:47,570 --> 01:08:45,180 racetrack and the people in the 1480 01:08:49,250 --> 01:08:47,580 bleachers and I would see clouds and 1481 01:08:51,620 --> 01:08:49,260 cityscapes beyond that and wonder you 1482 01:08:54,110 --> 01:08:51,630 know what's what's over there in that 1483 01:08:56,329 --> 01:08:54,120 simulated world I don't know if you ever 1484 01:08:58,520 --> 01:08:56,339 played asteroids but you could go off of 1485 01:09:00,170 --> 01:08:58,530 the top of the screen and you would 1486 01:09:01,970 --> 01:09:00,180 appear your ship would appear at the 1487 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:01,980 bottom of the screen so there was a 1488 01:09:09,170 --> 01:09:05,250 geometry to this graphical world which 1489 01:09:10,849 --> 01:09:09,180 was being rendered with pixels right and 1490 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:10,859 then you know there's like 10 stages 1491 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:14,130 that we go through but as we represent 1492 01:09:18,530 --> 01:09:17,130 the world as 3d models that's where the 1493 01:09:20,030 --> 01:09:18,540 optimization comes and we'll talk about 1494 01:09:22,670 --> 01:09:20,040 that along with the quantum physics but 1495 01:09:25,190 --> 01:09:22,680 eventually some of the later stages to 1496 01:09:27,620 --> 01:09:25,200 really truly build a simulation like The 1497 01:09:30,740 --> 01:09:27,630 Matrix you know we would have to fool 1498 01:09:33,230 --> 01:09:30,750 ourselves into thinking that we are in 1499 01:09:36,829 --> 01:09:33,240 the real world again and so we would 1500 01:09:39,349 --> 01:09:36,839 have to beam that those pixels no longer 1501 01:09:41,780 --> 01:09:39,359 onto a screen or even a virtual reality 1502 01:09:44,530 --> 01:09:41,790 glasses but we would have to beam them 1503 01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:44,540 into the mind itself and so mind 1504 01:09:51,380 --> 01:09:48,450 broadcast and then we would have to be 1505 01:09:53,480 --> 01:09:51,390 able to get the responses back for what 1506 01:09:54,830 --> 01:09:53,490 you want to do in that world so we would 1507 01:09:58,310 --> 01:09:54,840 have to read them now in the movie The 1508 01:10:03,170 --> 01:09:58,320 Matrix right when neo woke up he was in 1509 01:10:04,670 --> 01:10:03,180 a pod which had a physical connection in 1510 01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:04,680 the back of his head and the cerebral 1511 01:10:09,620 --> 01:10:07,110 cortex and that's how they jacked into 1512 01:10:11,540 --> 01:10:09,630 the matrix was well then so that's 1513 01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:11,550 technology that we're people are still 1514 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:14,310 working on this idea of brain computer 1515 01:10:19,310 --> 01:10:16,610 interfaces but it's actually a pretty 1516 01:10:21,980 --> 01:10:19,320 popular area right now and more and more 1517 01:10:23,630 --> 01:10:21,990 startups including one funded by Elon 1518 01:10:25,610 --> 01:10:23,640 Musk called neural link and one in 1519 01:10:27,980 --> 01:10:25,620 Boston called numerable and and many 1520 01:10:30,500 --> 01:10:27,990 others are starting to have technology 1521 01:10:34,580 --> 01:10:30,510 developed so you know we would be able 1522 01:10:37,010 --> 01:10:34,590 at some point within a decade two 1523 01:10:39,440 --> 01:10:37,020 decades three decades to be able to 1524 01:10:41,190 --> 01:10:39,450 create real simulations so I call this 1525 01:10:43,500 --> 01:10:41,200 the simulation point 1526 01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:43,510 there's about 10 stages they described 1527 01:10:47,690 --> 01:10:45,490 in the book to the simulation point and 1528 01:10:49,620 --> 01:10:47,700 once the civilization gets there right 1529 01:10:51,420 --> 01:10:49,630 then we could do what you're talking 1530 01:10:55,470 --> 01:10:51,430 about which is I could then download 1531 01:10:59,430 --> 01:10:55,480 myself into another simulation now at 1532 01:11:02,730 --> 01:10:59,440 some point the resources you know are 1533 01:11:05,310 --> 01:11:02,740 limited and this is where you know as 1534 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:05,320 you understand the computer science you 1535 01:11:10,590 --> 01:11:07,930 realize that it's all about optimizing 1536 01:11:13,530 --> 01:11:10,600 limited resources and so some people 1537 01:11:15,780 --> 01:11:13,540 think that there is a limit to how much 1538 01:11:18,300 --> 01:11:15,790 we'll be able to simulate if we're 1539 01:11:20,850 --> 01:11:18,310 inside a simulation because we only have 1540 01:11:23,580 --> 01:11:20,860 the computing power of the processors 1541 01:11:26,250 --> 01:11:23,590 that are running the simulation outside 1542 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:26,260 of the one that we're in if that makes 1543 01:11:30,180 --> 01:11:26,650 sense right 1544 01:11:32,310 --> 01:11:30,190 it does it does but when you have you 1545 01:11:37,230 --> 01:11:32,320 know like Neil deGrasse Tyson or Brian 1546 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:37,240 green or Ray Kurzweil or Elon Musk and 1547 01:11:43,860 --> 01:11:40,570 Stephen Hawking suggesting this to 1548 01:11:46,740 --> 01:11:43,870 everybody their words have weight right 1549 01:11:49,710 --> 01:11:46,750 and the power of suggestion is very very 1550 01:11:53,070 --> 01:11:49,720 strong and I have to ask what is it that 1551 01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:53,080 they know that they fully understand and 1552 01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:55,450 they grasp and that we don't when it 1553 01:12:00,810 --> 01:11:57,610 comes to the possibility of living in a 1554 01:12:03,030 --> 01:12:00,820 simulation well I think you know the 1555 01:12:04,890 --> 01:12:03,040 physicists and the technologists right 1556 01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:04,900 again these are considered separate 1557 01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:08,530 fields right Computer Sciences one field 1558 01:12:14,570 --> 01:12:12,880 and physics is another field but they're 1559 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:14,580 starting to see that they're actually 1560 01:12:19,470 --> 01:12:17,730 related right and particularly with 1561 01:12:22,290 --> 01:12:19,480 quantum computing 1562 01:12:24,390 --> 01:12:22,300 you start to see the convergence of 1563 01:12:27,150 --> 01:12:24,400 basically every single field into 1564 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:27,160 computer science or information there 1565 01:12:33,060 --> 01:12:30,010 was a famous there was a famous 1566 01:12:34,740 --> 01:12:33,070 physicist named John Wheeler Wright who 1567 01:12:37,350 --> 01:12:34,750 was involved in everything from the 1568 01:12:39,870 --> 01:12:37,360 discovery of black holes to parallel 1569 01:12:42,930 --> 01:12:39,880 universes and other things and and in 1570 01:12:46,230 --> 01:12:42,940 his biography you know he came up with 1571 01:12:48,180 --> 01:12:46,240 his phrase it from bits right where he 1572 01:12:50,730 --> 01:12:48,190 basically said he went through three 1573 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:50,740 phases of physics in his long career and 1574 01:12:54,010 --> 01:12:52,090 he was you know he worked with it was 1575 01:12:55,990 --> 01:12:54,020 like a last living physicist to 1576 01:12:58,030 --> 01:12:56,000 work with Einstein and he said in the in 1577 01:12:59,980 --> 01:12:58,040 the first phase we all thought that 1578 01:13:03,490 --> 01:12:59,990 physics was about studying matter 1579 01:13:05,110 --> 01:13:03,500 particles actual physical objects in the 1580 01:13:06,310 --> 01:13:05,120 second phase which was some of the 1581 01:13:06,790 --> 01:13:06,320 quantum stuff that we'll talk about a 1582 01:13:08,860 --> 01:13:06,800 minute 1583 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:08,870 he said well everything was a field 1584 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:11,570 turns out it wasn't physical at all it 1585 01:13:15,970 --> 01:13:13,970 was a set of probabilities and then 1586 01:13:18,910 --> 01:13:15,980 later in the third stage of his career 1587 01:13:21,580 --> 01:13:18,920 he realized that everything was bits or 1588 01:13:24,550 --> 01:13:21,590 information wasn't even a feel that was 1589 01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:24,560 zeros or ones and so you know if 1590 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:27,890 everything at its core is basically 1591 01:13:32,070 --> 01:13:30,290 information then you can start to do 1592 01:13:34,750 --> 01:13:32,080 things like quantum teleportation 1593 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:34,760 teleporting you know an object from one 1594 01:13:39,550 --> 01:13:36,170 place to another right now they've been 1595 01:13:41,980 --> 01:13:39,560 able to teleport the quantum state of a 1596 01:13:45,070 --> 01:13:41,990 photon or of an object somewhere else 1597 01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:45,080 but really it's the information that 1598 01:13:49,510 --> 01:13:47,450 gets transferred and and so I think when 1599 01:13:52,750 --> 01:13:49,520 when you know these physicists and these 1600 01:13:55,450 --> 01:13:52,760 technologists are talking about this 1601 01:13:58,090 --> 01:13:55,460 stuff you know they're seeing that that 1602 01:14:00,550 --> 01:13:58,100 information is at the source of 1603 01:14:03,010 --> 01:14:00,560 underneath everything and that's why 1604 01:14:05,530 --> 01:14:03,020 they're taking it so seriously I think 1605 01:14:07,900 --> 01:14:05,540 in Stephen Hawking's put it at about a 1606 01:14:09,460 --> 01:14:07,910 50/50 you know chance that we were 1607 01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:09,470 living inside a simulation Elon Musk 1608 01:14:14,710 --> 01:14:11,930 says it's about a billion to one that 1609 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:14,720 we're inside the simulation meaning that 1610 01:14:19,390 --> 01:14:16,370 it's a billion that we are in fact 1611 01:14:24,790 --> 01:14:19,400 inside a simulation and don't we expect 1612 01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:24,800 them to be balanced right you expect 1613 01:14:31,810 --> 01:14:28,640 those very smart Minds not to go in this 1614 01:14:35,440 --> 01:14:31,820 direction but for them to go with this 1615 01:14:38,530 --> 01:14:35,450 direction so freely and to be accepting 1616 01:14:40,690 --> 01:14:38,540 of this possibility really says 1617 01:14:43,030 --> 01:14:40,700 something and it scares us because you 1618 01:14:44,710 --> 01:14:43,040 have the physical side and the 1619 01:14:46,780 --> 01:14:44,720 information side and you have the 1620 01:14:49,510 --> 01:14:46,790 conscious side of things and 1621 01:14:53,980 --> 01:14:49,520 consciousness and is that the barrier 1622 01:14:57,550 --> 01:14:53,990 it's one thing to to get to the ones and 1623 01:14:59,740 --> 01:14:57,560 zeros of memories and stored stuff in 1624 01:15:02,230 --> 01:14:59,750 our brains but then we have the stuff 1625 01:15:03,410 --> 01:15:02,240 that makes R is R is and Jimmy Jimmy and 1626 01:15:07,970 --> 01:15:03,420 how do 1627 01:15:10,430 --> 01:15:07,980 that get moved over yeah so you know 1628 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:10,440 again it depends on your interpretation 1629 01:15:16,250 --> 01:15:13,290 of the simulation hypothesis you know as 1630 01:15:18,350 --> 01:15:16,260 I said in my case I tend to view us as 1631 01:15:21,290 --> 01:15:18,360 conscious beings outside the simulation 1632 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:21,300 who are playing a character within the 1633 01:15:26,660 --> 01:15:23,730 simulation just like going back to the 1634 01:15:29,030 --> 01:15:26,670 Tibetans when we dream we have a body in 1635 01:15:33,260 --> 01:15:29,040 the dream but that's not really us right 1636 01:15:36,050 --> 01:15:33,270 that's inside the the simulation now one 1637 01:15:37,550 --> 01:15:36,060 of the reasons that you know back in 20 1638 01:15:41,060 --> 01:15:37,560 years ago and in fact the matrix came 1639 01:15:44,419 --> 01:15:41,070 out on March 31st 1999 which is 1640 01:15:46,250 --> 01:15:44,429 literally 20 years to the day that my 1641 01:15:48,890 --> 01:15:46,260 book is gonna be released and March 31st 1642 01:15:49,820 --> 01:15:48,900 in about a week and a half here but you 1643 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:49,830 know people didn't take it that 1644 01:15:54,950 --> 01:15:52,050 seriously at the time because the 1645 01:15:57,470 --> 01:15:54,960 technology wasn't there so I mentioned 1646 01:15:58,669 --> 01:15:57,480 earlier the Oxford philosopher named 1647 01:16:00,709 --> 01:15:58,679 Nick Bostrom so he came out with a 1648 01:16:02,930 --> 01:16:00,719 simulation argument and he wasn't really 1649 01:16:04,430 --> 01:16:02,940 a video game guy or a computer guy so 1650 01:16:05,450 --> 01:16:04,440 you know all the stuff I talked about 1651 01:16:07,550 --> 01:16:05,460 the technology he doesn't really talk 1652 01:16:12,550 --> 01:16:07,560 about that but his argument was that 1653 01:16:15,140 --> 01:16:12,560 suppose a civilization somewhere created 1654 01:16:18,140 --> 01:16:15,150 something like the matrix a simulated 1655 01:16:19,939 --> 01:16:18,150 world and in in my parlance I'd say they 1656 01:16:22,430 --> 01:16:19,949 got to the simulation point and he said 1657 01:16:24,110 --> 01:16:22,440 you know in order to to have more beings 1658 01:16:26,390 --> 01:16:24,120 they would just need more servers so you 1659 01:16:28,850 --> 01:16:26,400 could literally have billions of or 1660 01:16:30,350 --> 01:16:28,860 trillions of beings within these 1661 01:16:32,390 --> 01:16:30,360 simulations you could have billions of 1662 01:16:35,990 --> 01:16:32,400 simulations with trillions of beings 1663 01:16:37,850 --> 01:16:36,000 inside them and so if you counted up all 1664 01:16:40,370 --> 01:16:37,860 the beings that were inside the 1665 01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:40,380 simulations and you can ended up all the 1666 01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:42,110 beings that we're outside the simulation 1667 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:44,130 clearly the number of beings in the 1668 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:46,890 simulations is much more therefore if 1669 01:16:52,820 --> 01:16:49,890 any civilization ever gets to this point 1670 01:16:54,169 --> 01:16:52,830 right anywhere in the galaxy you could 1671 01:16:55,970 --> 01:16:54,179 have a civilization that's a million 1672 01:16:58,459 --> 01:16:55,980 years ahead of us that is able to create 1673 01:17:00,169 --> 01:16:58,469 these kind of simulations then we are 1674 01:17:02,510 --> 01:17:00,179 more likely to be simulated beings 1675 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:02,520 inside the simulation then an actual 1676 01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:05,010 biological being and so when he 1677 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:07,770 published that paper in 2003 suddenly 1678 01:17:11,750 --> 01:17:10,050 you know all these smart people at 1679 01:17:14,209 --> 01:17:11,760 universities that sort of started to 1680 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:14,219 take this idea more seriously and Neil 1681 01:17:17,630 --> 01:17:15,690 deGrasse Tyson says well you can't 1682 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:17,640 really argue with the logic 1683 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:19,650 even though it's a statistical argument 1684 01:17:22,820 --> 01:17:21,570 you know when I was back at MIT we were 1685 01:17:27,140 --> 01:17:22,830 taught that science is really about 1686 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:27,150 creating models of the world and these 1687 01:17:30,530 --> 01:17:28,890 models would have to explain what 1688 01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:30,540 happens we had the Newtonian model of 1689 01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:32,610 the world which was based on continuous 1690 01:17:37,490 --> 01:17:35,250 motion and solid objects and that worked 1691 01:17:39,650 --> 01:17:37,500 for the most part but it broke down when 1692 01:17:42,170 --> 01:17:39,660 you were going really fast or if you 1693 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:42,180 went to really small subatomic levels 1694 01:17:45,950 --> 01:17:44,370 and then you know Einstein came up with 1695 01:17:48,410 --> 01:17:45,960 his theory of relativity which works at 1696 01:17:50,510 --> 01:17:48,420 fast speeds and then quantum mechanics 1697 01:17:52,390 --> 01:17:50,520 was a model that came up when you look 1698 01:17:56,090 --> 01:17:52,400 at what happens at the subatomic state 1699 01:17:59,360 --> 01:17:56,100 but now this is a model the simulation 1700 01:18:01,850 --> 01:17:59,370 hypothesis that I think explains many 1701 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:01,860 more things about the physical world and 1702 01:18:05,570 --> 01:18:03,570 the conscious world and the religious 1703 01:18:08,570 --> 01:18:05,580 and spiritual world than any model 1704 01:18:10,580 --> 01:18:08,580 before and so you know that's I don't 1705 01:18:13,010 --> 01:18:10,590 think a lot of the physicists are quite 1706 01:18:15,020 --> 01:18:13,020 there yet and a lot of the academics 1707 01:18:18,020 --> 01:18:15,030 right that they're willing to debate the 1708 01:18:20,570 --> 01:18:18,030 statistical argument or the AI argument 1709 01:18:22,940 --> 01:18:20,580 that we're all AI I don't think too many 1710 01:18:23,930 --> 01:18:22,950 of them are yet at the point of saying 1711 01:18:26,660 --> 01:18:23,940 well we're really beaming our 1712 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:26,670 consciousness from another universe or 1713 01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:30,210 another world beyond the physical but 1714 01:18:34,490 --> 01:18:31,770 they're getting there and and the more 1715 01:18:36,830 --> 01:18:34,500 and more that they find information is 1716 01:18:40,060 --> 01:18:36,840 at the heart of everything and you know 1717 01:18:42,290 --> 01:18:40,070 I I have been running a video game 1718 01:18:44,780 --> 01:18:42,300 accelerator at MIT for the last two 1719 01:18:47,030 --> 01:18:44,790 years and you know for many years MIT 1720 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:47,040 had you know four colleges the College 1721 01:18:52,820 --> 01:18:50,130 of Engineering College of Business etc 1722 01:18:54,230 --> 01:18:52,830 they just introduced a new college which 1723 01:18:58,430 --> 01:18:54,240 is all about AI 1724 01:18:59,990 --> 01:18:58,440 and quantum computing as as a whole new 1725 01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:00,000 field in and of itself and they're 1726 01:19:05,480 --> 01:19:01,770 recognizing that all the other fields 1727 01:19:09,290 --> 01:19:05,490 are related to it what was the video 1728 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:09,300 game that came out about three or four 1729 01:19:19,730 --> 01:19:14,690 years ago where you could go and visit 1730 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:19,740 any any planet and and it and it 1731 01:19:25,250 --> 01:19:23,130 continued and rendered in real time yes 1732 01:19:26,709 --> 01:19:25,260 there was a video game called no man's 1733 01:19:32,350 --> 01:19:26,719 sky yeah no man 1734 01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:32,360 and it had 18 quintillion planets right 1735 01:19:36,459 --> 01:19:34,010 you could go to those planets and you 1736 01:19:39,790 --> 01:19:36,469 could actually walk around in real time 1737 01:19:43,290 --> 01:19:39,800 now the team that built this they didn't 1738 01:19:46,390 --> 01:19:43,300 sit there and design each plant Eileen 1739 01:19:49,390 --> 01:19:46,400 right turns out that if you you know 1740 01:19:51,910 --> 01:19:49,400 have 64 bits they say 2 to the 64th 1741 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:51,920 power turns out to be exactly 18 1742 01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:53,930 quintillion that's why they had that 1743 01:20:01,270 --> 01:19:57,170 many possible worlds but what they would 1744 01:20:03,850 --> 01:20:01,280 do is they would render the the flora 1745 01:20:05,709 --> 01:20:03,860 and fauna of each world based on 1746 01:20:07,780 --> 01:20:05,719 different algorithms and so many of your 1747 01:20:09,970 --> 01:20:07,790 listeners have probably heard of fractal 1748 01:20:11,260 --> 01:20:09,980 algorithms that's right and I've got 1749 01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:11,270 some pictures in the book and you can 1750 01:20:15,970 --> 01:20:13,010 look online and you'll see that you know 1751 01:20:19,870 --> 01:20:15,980 fractal geometry is a way of describing 1752 01:20:22,500 --> 01:20:19,880 the natural world which came out of you 1753 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:22,510 know this whole idea of chaos theory and 1754 01:20:27,430 --> 01:20:24,890 there was a guy named Mandelbrot who 1755 01:20:31,030 --> 01:20:27,440 asked a question that said how long is 1756 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:31,040 the coastline well it turns out you can 1757 01:20:34,540 --> 01:20:32,449 measure a coastline you know at the 1758 01:20:36,910 --> 01:20:34,550 level of miles and say it's you know 100 1759 01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:36,920 miles long but if you go in and you zoom 1760 01:20:40,990 --> 01:20:39,170 in you see the coastline is actually 1761 01:20:42,910 --> 01:20:41,000 kind of rocky and has nooks and crannies 1762 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:42,920 so if you zoom in a little bit turns out 1763 01:20:46,959 --> 01:20:45,050 it's longer than 100 miles well if you 1764 01:20:49,810 --> 01:20:46,969 zoom in again you'll see even more nooks 1765 01:20:53,950 --> 01:20:49,820 and crannies and so the answer depends 1766 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:53,960 on what scale you're looking at the 1767 01:20:58,840 --> 01:20:55,370 world it turns out fractal algorithms 1768 01:21:02,140 --> 01:20:58,850 are the best way to describe a lot of 1769 01:21:04,870 --> 01:21:02,150 natural processes whether it's veins or 1770 01:21:06,910 --> 01:21:04,880 tree-like structures or coastlines and 1771 01:21:10,209 --> 01:21:06,920 so you know many people have speculated 1772 01:21:13,689 --> 01:21:10,219 that what nature really is is a a 1773 01:21:15,459 --> 01:21:13,699 fractal algorithmic generating a machine 1774 01:21:17,860 --> 01:21:15,469 and that's you know that's why there's 1775 01:21:21,700 --> 01:21:17,870 no straight lines in nature and 1776 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:21,710 everything is has many dimensions and 1777 01:21:26,020 --> 01:21:23,930 and so turns out that the same 1778 01:21:28,209 --> 01:21:26,030 techniques these guys were using in no 1779 01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:28,219 man's sky to generate all the flora and 1780 01:21:33,459 --> 01:21:30,410 fauna there are people who seriously 1781 01:21:36,340 --> 01:21:33,469 think that the way that flora and fauna 1782 01:21:38,890 --> 01:21:36,350 and coastlines evolved in the physical 1783 01:21:40,149 --> 01:21:38,900 world is again based on these 1784 01:21:42,399 --> 01:21:40,159 algorithmic 1785 01:21:44,649 --> 01:21:42,409 properties that that nature is using 1786 01:21:47,050 --> 01:21:44,659 algorithm so so you're kind of opening 1787 01:21:48,490 --> 01:21:47,060 up the physical world and realizing that 1788 01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:48,500 oh my god it's actually a computer 1789 01:21:51,780 --> 01:21:50,090 program in there and that's another 1790 01:21:55,270 --> 01:21:51,790 reason why people are starting to take 1791 01:21:57,430 --> 01:21:55,280 this idea more seriously now than they 1792 01:21:59,290 --> 01:21:57,440 did ten years ago and certainly you know 1793 01:22:00,939 --> 01:21:59,300 then they did 20 years ago when the 1794 01:22:05,830 --> 01:22:00,949 matrix first came out yeah and that 1795 01:22:08,050 --> 01:22:05,840 would be an answer for the size of what 1796 01:22:09,370 --> 01:22:08,060 consciousness would be right it'd be a 1797 01:22:12,370 --> 01:22:09,380 huge number 1798 01:22:16,689 --> 01:22:12,380 as far as ones and zeros go be a complex 1799 01:22:19,570 --> 01:22:16,699 but if it is derived in render right and 1800 01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:19,580 with with fractal algorithms you don't 1801 01:22:26,590 --> 01:22:22,130 need a huge everybody wouldn't be a huge 1802 01:22:29,830 --> 01:22:26,600 chunk of code right your reality in the 1803 01:22:33,820 --> 01:22:29,840 in a simulation could be rendered as 1804 01:22:36,550 --> 01:22:33,830 your day moves along that's right and so 1805 01:22:38,470 --> 01:22:36,560 you know let's talk a little bit about 1806 01:22:41,410 --> 01:22:38,480 how rendering is done in video games 1807 01:22:44,830 --> 01:22:41,420 right so if you're in The Sims right 1808 01:22:47,379 --> 01:22:44,840 you're seeing a room well that room is a 1809 01:22:49,810 --> 01:22:47,389 set of 3d models that describe the 1810 01:22:55,629 --> 01:22:49,820 shapes of everything in that room right 1811 01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:55,639 and then your computer renders that room 1812 01:23:00,070 --> 01:22:57,170 from your point of view 1813 01:23:02,290 --> 01:23:00,080 so it only renders the things that you 1814 01:23:04,050 --> 01:23:02,300 can see right so if there was you know 1815 01:23:07,629 --> 01:23:04,060 creature facing the other way 1816 01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:07,639 well you can't necessarily see its face 1817 01:23:11,770 --> 01:23:09,290 initially right you can only see its 1818 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:11,780 back and if there was a flower but it 1819 01:23:16,090 --> 01:23:13,730 was underneath the table you couldn't 1820 01:23:19,209 --> 01:23:16,100 see the flower well when when people 1821 01:23:22,090 --> 01:23:19,219 were first building video games they 1822 01:23:24,669 --> 01:23:22,100 thought it was impossible to render all 1823 01:23:26,350 --> 01:23:24,679 the pixels that you would need for fully 1824 01:23:28,450 --> 01:23:26,360 3d environments in immersive 1825 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:28,460 environments that's a lot of pixels and 1826 01:23:32,229 --> 01:23:29,690 think about it Oh 1827 01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:32,239 turns out Doom was the first video game 1828 01:23:37,419 --> 01:23:34,730 that really was popular that was using 1829 01:23:40,060 --> 01:23:37,429 this idea of a 3d perspective and you 1830 01:23:42,510 --> 01:23:40,070 could look around very quickly there's a 1831 01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:42,520 first-person shooter and it would adjust 1832 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:44,570 automatically and that was because they 1833 01:23:49,930 --> 01:23:47,449 rendered only that which needs that 1834 01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:49,940 which is being observed so that's kind 1835 01:23:53,980 --> 01:23:52,010 of the the golden rule when it comes to 1836 01:23:56,740 --> 01:23:53,990 video game environments 1837 01:23:58,860 --> 01:23:56,750 render only that which you can observe 1838 01:24:02,290 --> 01:23:58,870 over you can see from your point of view 1839 01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:02,300 okay and so now we're getting into the 1840 01:24:07,810 --> 01:24:05,330 physics right and so one of the biggest 1841 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:07,820 mysteries in quantum physics is this 1842 01:24:14,380 --> 01:24:10,850 idea of quantum indeterminacy and then 1843 01:24:17,430 --> 01:24:14,390 the idea is that if said again say that 1844 01:24:20,290 --> 01:24:17,440 again what's the quantum indeterminacy 1845 01:24:21,670 --> 01:24:20,300 okay which probably the easiest way to 1846 01:24:23,290 --> 01:24:21,680 understand it although you know 1847 01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:23,300 physicists talk about it at the level of 1848 01:24:30,540 --> 01:24:25,970 a particle and says where is this 1849 01:24:34,030 --> 01:24:30,550 particle and is it a wave or is it a 1850 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:34,040 particle and but you know easier I think 1851 01:24:38,890 --> 01:24:36,610 to understand it at the idea of 1852 01:24:41,050 --> 01:24:38,900 Schrodinger's you know infamous cat 1853 01:24:45,700 --> 01:24:41,060 right many of us have heard of that and 1854 01:24:48,340 --> 01:24:45,710 the cat is in a box that has some 1855 01:24:51,100 --> 01:24:48,350 radioactive decay and there's about a 1856 01:24:54,310 --> 01:24:51,110 50% chance that the cat is alive or dead 1857 01:24:58,540 --> 01:24:54,320 and so what you know Schrodinger said 1858 01:25:01,120 --> 01:24:58,550 was you we don't know if the cat is 1859 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:01,130 alive or dead until we open the box but 1860 01:25:07,780 --> 01:25:03,530 it turns out the cat is both alive and 1861 01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:07,790 dead until we open the box and actually 1862 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:10,070 observe it now common sense would tell 1863 01:25:13,510 --> 01:25:11,210 us that's not the case 1864 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:13,520 common sense tells us either the cat is 1865 01:25:17,470 --> 01:25:15,050 alive or dead already just because we 1866 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:17,480 can't see it in the box it has to be one 1867 01:25:22,420 --> 01:25:20,330 or the other right well the quantum 1868 01:25:25,750 --> 01:25:22,430 physicists have found and this is like 1869 01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:25,760 you know a fundamental finding of how 1870 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:27,770 the universe works is that until 1871 01:25:32,260 --> 01:25:29,810 somebody actually opens the box and 1872 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:32,270 observes it that the cat is neither 1873 01:25:40,570 --> 01:25:37,010 alive nor dead it gets rendered based 1874 01:25:44,890 --> 01:25:40,580 upon who observes it at that point in 1875 01:25:47,260 --> 01:25:44,900 time and so that is also you know the 1876 01:25:48,490 --> 01:25:47,270 basis of what they called up the double 1877 01:25:50,290 --> 01:25:48,500 slit experiment where they're shooting 1878 01:25:53,290 --> 01:25:50,300 particles through these two slits and 1879 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:53,300 they say if it's a wave it'll have an 1880 01:25:56,830 --> 01:25:54,890 interference pattern you know on this 1881 01:25:59,230 --> 01:25:56,840 screen beyond the slits and if it's a 1882 01:26:01,660 --> 01:25:59,240 particle it'll go to a specific point 1883 01:26:04,750 --> 01:26:01,670 well it turns out it's not until 1884 01:26:06,510 --> 01:26:04,760 somebody observes it that it takes on a 1885 01:26:08,460 --> 01:26:06,520 specific position 1886 01:26:10,980 --> 01:26:08,470 right before that it's what's called a 1887 01:26:14,940 --> 01:26:10,990 superposition which means like the cat 1888 01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:14,950 is alive or dead and so you know the big 1889 01:26:20,490 --> 01:26:17,650 question in physics is why would it why 1890 01:26:23,250 --> 01:26:20,500 would the universe work in this way that 1891 01:26:26,130 --> 01:26:23,260 somebody has to sit there and observe 1892 01:26:29,730 --> 01:26:26,140 something in order for the path of the 1893 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:29,740 particle to be rendered and it turns out 1894 01:26:33,390 --> 01:26:31,210 there's also something called the 1895 01:26:35,580 --> 01:26:33,400 delayed choice experiment where the 1896 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:35,590 particle goes through the slits and then 1897 01:26:38,730 --> 01:26:37,330 it goes and does a whole bunch of other 1898 01:26:41,310 --> 01:26:38,740 things like it could go up to a 1899 01:26:43,950 --> 01:26:41,320 satellite a thousand miles away and only 1900 01:26:46,860 --> 01:26:43,960 then is it observed but turns out the 1901 01:26:49,980 --> 01:26:46,870 path is not solid until the observation 1902 01:26:52,650 --> 01:26:49,990 happens well now we tie back to the 1903 01:26:56,070 --> 01:26:52,660 rendering of video games right the 1904 01:26:58,890 --> 01:26:56,080 cardinal rule was what only render is 1905 01:27:00,990 --> 01:26:58,900 what you see served right and that turns 1906 01:27:03,450 --> 01:27:01,000 out to be the cardinal rule within 1907 01:27:05,910 --> 01:27:03,460 quantum physics is only render that 1908 01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:05,920 which is being observed which you know 1909 01:27:09,810 --> 01:27:08,290 is why you know the simulation 1910 01:27:11,850 --> 01:27:09,820 hypothesis starts to make a lot more 1911 01:27:14,550 --> 01:27:11,860 sense when you look at it in terms of 1912 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:14,560 quantum physics and how it works let's 1913 01:27:19,170 --> 01:27:17,050 take a break right here and I'm looking 1914 01:27:22,380 --> 01:27:19,180 at it's so funny I'm looking at the 1915 01:27:25,350 --> 01:27:22,390 comments and yeah somebody just said my 1916 01:27:28,110 --> 01:27:25,360 brain hurts it's a heavy it's it's a 1917 01:27:31,770 --> 01:27:28,120 heavy heavy heavy concept and one that 1918 01:27:33,630 --> 01:27:31,780 isn't for no pun intended not that far 1919 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:33,640 from actual reality our guest tonight 1920 01:27:38,580 --> 01:27:35,770 rizz Burke we're talking about his new

--> 01:33:12,630 [Applause] 2025 01:33:17,550 --> 01:33:14,920 welcome back to fade to black our guest 2026 01:33:20,069 --> 01:33:17,560 tonight R is Burke talking about his new 2027 01:33:23,790 --> 01:33:20,079 book the simulation hypothesis which is 2028 01:33:27,450 --> 01:33:23,800 going to be released on March 31st which 2029 01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:27,460 will be the 20 year anniversary of the 2030 01:33:33,810 --> 01:33:29,650 worldwide release of the film The Matrix 2031 01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:33,820 and you can follow Riz on twitter it's r 2032 01:33:45,629 --> 01:33:38,110 is Cambridge right wrist Stanford a 2033 01:33:47,609 --> 01:33:45,639 wrist Ambergris Caye bridge where did I 2034 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:47,619 get Cambridge from you use that 2035 01:33:58,589 --> 01:33:54,730 somewhere don't you yeah simulation yeah 2036 01:34:01,800 --> 01:33:58,599 and another simulation and go ahead RIS 2037 01:34:05,339 --> 01:34:01,810 I'm sorry say you know speaking of email 2038 01:34:07,379 --> 01:34:05,349 I just got a got a note while we were in 2039 01:34:08,970 --> 01:34:07,389 the break here from Tessa B dick saying 2040 01:34:11,220 --> 01:34:08,980 that she was listening to the show and 2041 01:34:12,959 --> 01:34:11,230 so I'd like to give a shout out to her 2042 01:34:14,700 --> 01:34:12,969 though she's a wife of the late philip k 2043 01:34:16,050 --> 01:34:14,710 dick and thought you know we're gay we 2044 01:34:17,609 --> 01:34:16,060 got heavy into the physics maybe we 2045 01:34:19,050 --> 01:34:17,619 could step back a little bit to talk a 2046 01:34:21,780 --> 01:34:19,060 little bit about some of the science 2047 01:34:23,609 --> 01:34:21,790 fiction's yeah let's do that you know 2048 01:34:27,930 --> 01:34:23,619 and I'll tell you why and what's up 2049 01:34:32,180 --> 01:34:27,940 Tessa she's absolutely amazing big shout 2050 01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:32,190 out to Tessa the okay let's let's let's 2051 01:34:41,220 --> 01:34:36,250 suppose something here if one of the 2052 01:34:44,540 --> 01:34:41,230 benefits of downloading ourselves or 2053 01:34:46,709 --> 01:34:44,550 living in a simulation would be 2054 01:34:49,350 --> 01:34:46,719 immortality and I would say that that 2055 01:34:51,180 --> 01:34:49,360 would be if I was a billionaire the vows 2056 01:34:55,109 --> 01:34:51,190 of billionaire I wouldn't have an issue 2057 01:34:59,370 --> 01:34:55,119 with downloading myself into a bot a 2058 01:35:02,520 --> 01:34:59,380 robot and and and living forever but if 2059 01:35:05,399 --> 01:35:02,530 that is the case then what if we're 2060 01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:05,409 living in a simulation why do we die in 2061 01:35:12,780 --> 01:35:10,090 this simulation well you know that's a a 2062 01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:12,790 big heavy loaded question right right 2063 01:35:20,189 --> 01:35:16,810 but you know if you look at video games 2064 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:20,199 you know they have this idea of multiple 2065 01:35:24,449 --> 01:35:22,210 eyes right so you're able to go through 2066 01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:24,459 a character you're able to get to a sir 2067 01:35:28,739 --> 01:35:27,010 point and then you know the character 2068 01:35:32,279 --> 01:35:28,749 can die in the game because if there's 2069 01:35:36,179 --> 01:35:32,289 no consequences of the actions then 2070 01:35:38,879 --> 01:35:36,189 you're not really taking that video game 2071 01:35:41,100 --> 01:35:38,889 or that characters actions very 2072 01:35:44,609 --> 01:35:41,110 seriously and we all do we all do that 2073 01:35:47,239 --> 01:35:44,619 when we when we upload a cheat right 2074 01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:47,249 insert some kind of infinite life cheat 2075 01:35:53,669 --> 01:35:50,489 the game doesn't have any more impact 2076 01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:53,679 that's right exactly at that point the 2077 01:35:59,009 --> 01:35:56,170 game becomes too easy right this the 2078 01:36:01,949 --> 01:35:59,019 same way why many gamers don't like you 2079 01:36:03,299 --> 01:36:01,959 know pay2win types of games right they 2080 01:36:04,739 --> 01:36:03,309 just pay money and then you don't have 2081 01:36:06,899 --> 01:36:04,749 to go through the process of learning 2082 01:36:09,629 --> 01:36:06,909 how to play the game and to really build 2083 01:36:12,330 --> 01:36:09,639 your expertise and so you know what as 2084 01:36:13,649 --> 01:36:12,340 we get into the Y right now we're we're 2085 01:36:15,839 --> 01:36:13,659 backing up from the science to the 2086 01:36:18,689 --> 01:36:15,849 philosophy and the religion to say you 2087 01:36:20,370 --> 01:36:18,699 know why is that the case you know again 2088 01:36:22,620 --> 01:36:20,380 in most of the religious traditions they 2089 01:36:26,339 --> 01:36:22,630 talk about this being a school or a 2090 01:36:28,830 --> 01:36:26,349 training ground while we're here to 2091 01:36:33,209 --> 01:36:28,840 learn certain things about ourselves and 2092 01:36:35,850 --> 01:36:33,219 to evolve as Souls and keeping a list of 2093 01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:35,860 all the the karmic tasks that we have to 2094 01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:39,010 do well if there weren't consequences to 2095 01:36:42,660 --> 01:36:40,570 what you did here that weren't rules 2096 01:36:43,949 --> 01:36:42,670 that you had to follow you know then we 2097 01:36:46,469 --> 01:36:43,959 wouldn't take it that seriously at all 2098 01:36:49,410 --> 01:36:46,479 so that would be my my answer for the 2099 01:36:51,719 --> 01:36:49,420 why but obviously that's an area of a 2100 01:36:56,489 --> 01:36:51,729 lot of speculation would you download 2101 01:36:59,160 --> 01:36:56,499 would you upload yourself into a real 2102 01:37:04,500 --> 01:36:59,170 wood you do it into a digital device 2103 01:37:07,290 --> 01:37:04,510 yeah would you do it the transhumanist 2104 01:37:09,989 --> 01:37:07,300 movement right in Silicon Valley and 2105 01:37:12,270 --> 01:37:09,999 Beyond is very much about how do i 2106 01:37:16,410 --> 01:37:12,280 downline myself onto a silicon device 2107 01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:16,420 the question is you know with the way 2108 01:37:20,850 --> 01:37:19,090 that we've defined bits and I talked 2109 01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:20,860 about quantum teleportation earlier 2110 01:37:26,459 --> 01:37:23,130 right which was this idea of a 2111 01:37:28,739 --> 01:37:26,469 teleporting a particle from here to say 2112 01:37:31,649 --> 01:37:28,749 in outer space what they're really 2113 01:37:34,290 --> 01:37:31,659 transporting is the quantum state like 2114 01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:34,300 that's as far as we've got we aren't 2115 01:37:37,780 --> 01:37:36,489 actually trans transmitting or 2116 01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:37,790 teleporting the actual 2117 01:37:43,810 --> 01:37:40,730 particle yet so the question is is it 2118 01:37:46,450 --> 01:37:43,820 the same particle if it has the same 2119 01:37:49,230 --> 01:37:46,460 quantum state nobody knows the answer to 2120 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:49,240 that question so is it the same person 2121 01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:52,850 if you you were to simulate your 2122 01:37:58,630 --> 01:37:55,850 consciousness and put it on to a silicon 2123 01:38:00,700 --> 01:37:58,640 device or is it a copy of your 2124 01:38:04,780 --> 01:38:00,710 consciousness right and this is where we 2125 01:38:06,610 --> 01:38:04,790 get into these these debates about you 2126 01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:06,620 know are we conscious beings outside of 2127 01:38:12,460 --> 01:38:09,170 our simulation and we would we just 2128 01:38:15,340 --> 01:38:12,470 simply be creating kind of a snapshot of 2129 01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:15,350 our current consciousness so a lot of 2130 01:38:21,940 --> 01:38:17,090 scientists believe that it's just a 2131 01:38:23,830 --> 01:38:21,950 matter of simulating all the neurons and 2132 01:38:25,210 --> 01:38:23,840 there's a very big number of neurons in 2133 01:38:27,610 --> 01:38:25,220 the brain and the connections between 2134 01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:27,620 the neurons and so far like there's a 2135 01:38:32,410 --> 01:38:30,290 group at MIT that and other places that 2136 01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:32,420 have simulated the neurons of a rat's 2137 01:38:35,950 --> 01:38:34,610 brain which is you know much smaller 2138 01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:35,960 number of neurons and a much smaller 2139 01:38:40,780 --> 01:38:38,210 number of connections and then we have 2140 01:38:41,860 --> 01:38:40,790 in in a human brain and so we haven't 2141 01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:41,870 gotten to the point of having enough 2142 01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:43,850 computing power to be able to do that 2143 01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:45,530 but they think that's all you need to do 2144 01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:47,930 is exactly simulate all the firing of 2145 01:38:54,970 --> 01:38:52,610 the neurons and therefore you have that 2146 01:38:56,950 --> 01:38:54,980 person living forever but I think it's 2147 01:39:00,250 --> 01:38:56,960 an open question as to whether that 2148 01:39:05,170 --> 01:39:00,260 really is that person or not copy rizz 2149 01:39:09,220 --> 01:39:05,180 rizz rizz you dodged the question okay 2150 01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:09,230 would you do it if everything was right 2151 01:39:13,750 --> 01:39:10,970 and somebody said okay well we've got a 2152 01:39:14,890 --> 01:39:13,760 hundred percent probability that you're 2153 01:39:17,260 --> 01:39:14,900 gonna be okay 2154 01:39:19,900 --> 01:39:17,270 do you pull the trigger would you would 2155 01:39:22,540 --> 01:39:19,910 you go for it well you know I don't know 2156 01:39:25,180 --> 01:39:22,550 because I tend to already believe that 2157 01:39:28,330 --> 01:39:25,190 we live forever outside of this 2158 01:39:31,900 --> 01:39:28,340 simulation right so you know do I need 2159 01:39:36,100 --> 01:39:31,910 to be R is work for the next million 2160 01:39:40,590 --> 01:39:36,110 years or can I go back and read carnate 2161 01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:40,600 yeah the player that that is currently 2162 01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:43,850 downloaded into R is ver so your answer 2163 01:39:48,610 --> 01:39:46,130 is no you wouldn't do it my answer is 2164 01:39:50,830 --> 01:39:48,620 probably not yeah I don't think it's 2165 01:39:51,460 --> 01:39:50,840 quite as easy as these people they're 2166 01:39:53,050 --> 01:39:51,470 okay 2167 01:39:55,210 --> 01:39:53,060 back to science fiction there was a 2168 01:39:58,360 --> 01:39:55,220 great show a few years ago called fringe 2169 01:40:00,490 --> 01:39:58,370 mob and I saw that yep and they had this 2170 01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:00,500 idea of parallel worlds and you know is 2171 01:40:03,700 --> 01:40:01,850 if we get one I get more than physics we 2172 01:40:07,330 --> 01:40:03,710 can talk about parallel worlds but at 2173 01:40:09,010 --> 01:40:07,340 one point they were trying to transmit a 2174 01:40:11,770 --> 01:40:09,020 William Bell who was a character played 2175 01:40:14,950 --> 01:40:11,780 by Leonard Nimoy his consciousness onto 2176 01:40:18,100 --> 01:40:14,960 a silicon device right which they did 2177 01:40:20,590 --> 01:40:18,110 they actually did and if you remember in 2178 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:20,600 Fringe let's let's stay focused on this 2179 01:40:34,270 --> 01:40:23,930 you remember they did about a half a 2180 01:40:36,850 --> 01:40:34,280 season in animation cartoon they it was 2181 01:40:39,570 --> 01:40:36,860 actual they were living in a simulation 2182 01:40:41,860 --> 01:40:39,580 they were living in a cartoon and 2183 01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:41,870 straight out of Warner Brothers right 2184 01:40:48,730 --> 01:40:45,290 Disney and and William Bell's character 2185 01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:48,740 Leonard Nimoy and by the end of the 2186 01:40:54,130 --> 01:40:52,570 season when they finally got out of the 2187 01:40:57,400 --> 01:40:54,140 simulated world 2188 01:41:00,160 --> 01:40:57,410 you were so acclimated to it that you 2189 01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:00,170 did mind it not being and it was really 2190 01:41:05,020 --> 01:41:03,290 really really well done that concept it 2191 01:41:07,270 --> 01:41:05,030 was and I think they were one of the 2192 01:41:08,770 --> 01:41:07,280 best representations of parallel worlds 2193 01:41:10,450 --> 01:41:08,780 but if you remember when they tried to 2194 01:41:12,580 --> 01:41:10,460 download his consciousness under the 2195 01:41:14,380 --> 01:41:12,590 silicon it actually didn't work what 2196 01:41:16,210 --> 01:41:14,390 happened was his consciousness got 2197 01:41:18,610 --> 01:41:16,220 downloaded to the nearest biological 2198 01:41:22,150 --> 01:41:18,620 entity which was the character Olivia 2199 01:41:25,690 --> 01:41:22,160 Dunham yes right and so she ended up 2200 01:41:27,700 --> 01:41:25,700 being William Bell and you was well done 2201 01:41:30,670 --> 01:41:27,710 she was speaking like Leonard Nimoy it 2202 01:41:33,550 --> 01:41:30,680 was pretty cool right and so now we're 2203 01:41:35,470 --> 01:41:33,560 tying science fiction back to this idea 2204 01:41:37,180 --> 01:41:35,480 of downloading of consciousness back to 2205 01:41:39,610 --> 01:41:37,190 the Tibetan Yogi's that I talked about 2206 01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:39,620 earlier which he was you know they were 2207 01:41:44,980 --> 01:41:41,570 able to download their consciousness 2208 01:41:46,090 --> 01:41:44,990 onto another biological entity so you 2209 01:41:47,830 --> 01:41:46,100 know I think we're a little bit further 2210 01:41:49,870 --> 01:41:47,840 away from being able to download our 2211 01:41:53,260 --> 01:41:49,880 consciousness into a silicon device than 2212 01:41:55,060 --> 01:41:53,270 many people think but you know as we 2213 01:41:56,650 --> 01:41:55,070 start to think of biological computers 2214 01:41:57,970 --> 01:41:56,660 that's where it starts to get 2215 01:42:00,730 --> 01:41:57,980 interesting and that's where it seems to 2216 01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:00,740 be more consistent with you know what 2217 01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:02,090 the ancient traditions have been telling 2218 01:42:04,890 --> 01:42:03,890 us as well so you know I probably 2219 01:42:08,550 --> 01:42:04,900 wouldn't 2220 01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:08,560 but even if I did I think it would you 2221 01:42:12,690 --> 01:42:10,090 know this this question of whether it's 2222 01:42:15,390 --> 01:42:12,700 really me or a copy of me is an 2223 01:42:20,700 --> 01:42:15,400 interesting one right well it would be a 2224 01:42:23,700 --> 01:42:20,710 way to solve traveling to the stars and 2225 01:42:25,980 --> 01:42:23,710 interstellar travel if you could exist 2226 01:42:28,730 --> 01:42:25,990 you know in that world where you don't 2227 01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:28,740 have to worry about food you know water 2228 01:42:35,190 --> 01:42:32,770 oxygen and dying for that matter right 2229 01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:35,200 so the one hand it becomes a way for you 2230 01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:37,090 for us to travel the stars if it's gonna 2231 01:42:41,460 --> 01:42:39,850 take so long to get there and you know a 2232 01:42:43,860 --> 01:42:41,470 big part of the book also talks about 2233 01:42:47,790 --> 01:42:43,870 different science fiction and you know 2234 01:42:48,990 --> 01:42:47,800 there was this Netflix series that some 2235 01:42:50,220 --> 01:42:49,000 of your viewers may have seen or 2236 01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:50,230 listeners may have seen called altered 2237 01:42:55,340 --> 01:42:52,330 carbon log boobs based on a series of 2238 01:42:57,570 --> 01:42:55,350 cyberpunk novels about Roy and they had 2239 01:42:59,760 --> 01:42:57,580 what they call the stock which was a 2240 01:43:02,280 --> 01:42:59,770 cortical stack that was in you know 2241 01:43:04,530 --> 01:43:02,290 stuck into the back of your neck and 2242 01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:04,540 your consciousness could be downloaded 2243 01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:06,130 it was in that stacks and you could pull 2244 01:43:10,500 --> 01:43:08,050 it out and put it into another body and 2245 01:43:12,570 --> 01:43:10,510 you were now inside this other person's 2246 01:43:16,170 --> 01:43:12,580 body so we start to get into this idea 2247 01:43:17,730 --> 01:43:16,180 of what is really you you know is it the 2248 01:43:20,370 --> 01:43:17,740 information stored in this device and 2249 01:43:21,780 --> 01:43:20,380 and they would beam themselves right to 2250 01:43:24,900 --> 01:43:21,790 another planet that's how they travel to 2251 01:43:26,610 --> 01:43:24,910 another planet quickly was that they 2252 01:43:28,500 --> 01:43:26,620 would beam themselves into another 2253 01:43:30,780 --> 01:43:28,510 cortical stack because it was just 2254 01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:30,790 information you know in that device and 2255 01:43:34,470 --> 01:43:32,650 then they would be in another body and 2256 01:43:36,390 --> 01:43:34,480 they're automatically and so that's how 2257 01:43:38,100 --> 01:43:36,400 they got around this problem of you know 2258 01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:38,110 it takes so long to try to travel 2259 01:43:42,810 --> 01:43:41,020 between stars well and staying on the 2260 01:43:46,190 --> 01:43:42,820 science-fiction side because when you 2261 01:43:51,570 --> 01:43:46,200 look at not only philip k dick who 2262 01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:51,580 absolutely wrote a short story and novel 2263 01:43:57,720 --> 01:43:54,850 after novel about exactly this not only 2264 01:44:00,960 --> 01:43:57,730 simulation but parallel worlds and right 2265 01:44:03,090 --> 01:44:00,970 now we've got what's that new series the 2266 01:44:05,210 --> 01:44:03,100 man in the high castle right so that 2267 01:44:07,860 --> 01:44:05,220 that's out there we've got counterpart 2268 01:44:09,900 --> 01:44:07,870 counterpart which is really really good 2269 01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:09,910 i don't know it's on showtime or HBO i 2270 01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:12,130 can't remember and we just don't that 2271 01:44:17,740 --> 01:44:13,730 stars 2272 01:44:20,380 --> 01:44:17,750 really good if you just mentioned fringe 2273 01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:20,390 and then we're talking about the matrix 2274 01:44:25,900 --> 01:44:22,610 but we can go all the way back to the 2275 01:44:28,330 --> 01:44:25,910 holodeck right and and living in and the 2276 01:44:30,790 --> 01:44:28,340 way that Orville presents it they've got 2277 01:44:32,740 --> 01:44:30,800 the symmetry simulation room so it's 2278 01:44:34,510 --> 01:44:32,750 seen yes it's see in fact you know 2279 01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:34,520 that's when I first started to think a 2280 01:44:39,850 --> 01:44:37,250 little bit more seriously about this was 2281 01:44:43,090 --> 01:44:39,860 when I saw a Star Trek in the holodeck 2282 01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:43,100 and there was one episode early on I 2283 01:44:47,170 --> 01:44:44,570 remember kind of blew my mind 2284 01:44:50,050 --> 01:44:47,180 where they were doing a Sherlock Holmes 2285 01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:50,060 simulation in the holodeck and one of 2286 01:44:54,910 --> 01:44:52,370 the characters who was based on 2287 01:44:56,950 --> 01:44:54,920 Professor Moriarty from the original 2288 01:44:58,890 --> 01:44:56,960 Sherlock Holmes novels he realized that 2289 01:45:02,950 --> 01:44:58,900 some of the people in the simulation 2290 01:45:05,650 --> 01:45:02,960 were not from the holodeck and that they 2291 01:45:07,990 --> 01:45:05,660 existed out there outside the holodeck 2292 01:45:10,390 --> 01:45:08,000 so he actually realized that there was a 2293 01:45:13,690 --> 01:45:10,400 world outside the simulation whereas the 2294 01:45:15,220 --> 01:45:13,700 rest of the characters were AI so in in 2295 01:45:16,330 --> 01:45:15,230 videogames we have this idea of player 2296 01:45:19,810 --> 01:45:16,340 characters which we've talked a lot 2297 01:45:22,690 --> 01:45:19,820 about but we also have this idea of NPCs 2298 01:45:24,370 --> 01:45:22,700 or non player characters who are the AIS 2299 01:45:26,140 --> 01:45:24,380 within video games and people we can 2300 01:45:28,690 --> 01:45:26,150 interact with and so the holodeck 2301 01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:28,700 characters were kind of like NPCs but 2302 01:45:32,590 --> 01:45:30,650 this NPC was smart enough to just to 2303 01:45:36,370 --> 01:45:32,600 realize that there was a world out there 2304 01:45:38,650 --> 01:45:36,380 and he wanted to go out of the holodeck 2305 01:45:41,020 --> 01:45:38,660 but he couldn't because he was just an 2306 01:45:42,850 --> 01:45:41,030 NPC and that gets back to this debate of 2307 01:45:45,010 --> 01:45:42,860 whether we're a AI or were actually 2308 01:45:47,020 --> 01:45:45,020 conscious beings playing a character in 2309 01:45:47,710 --> 01:45:47,030 it now I don't know if you remember in 2310 01:45:50,260 --> 01:45:47,720 Star Trek 2311 01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:50,270 there was an there was another episode 2312 01:45:55,510 --> 01:45:52,370 with him in there but basically they 2313 01:45:57,790 --> 01:45:55,520 took him out of the holodeck and so he 2314 01:45:58,900 --> 01:45:57,800 thought he was in the actual ship but 2315 01:46:01,360 --> 01:45:58,910 turns out he was in another simulation 2316 01:46:04,150 --> 01:46:01,370 and that's how they kind of kept him 2317 01:46:06,790 --> 01:46:04,160 alive you know within that and so it's a 2318 01:46:08,110 --> 01:46:06,800 very common concept within a lot of 2319 01:46:10,300 --> 01:46:08,120 science fiction but that was one that 2320 01:46:12,700 --> 01:46:10,310 really got me thinking about huh what if 2321 01:46:14,770 --> 01:46:12,710 we're inside a holodeck could we realize 2322 01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:14,780 that there's this world you know outside 2323 01:46:21,340 --> 01:46:18,530 the holodeck and what as we just 2324 01:46:25,810 --> 01:46:21,350 mentioned AI and AI has gotten to the 2325 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:25,820 point now here in 2019 where I don't 2326 01:46:28,450 --> 01:46:27,050 even think that we 2327 01:46:32,589 --> 01:46:28,460 thought that we would be here two years 2328 01:46:34,589 --> 01:46:32,599 ago where AI is really starting to get 2329 01:46:38,410 --> 01:46:34,599 we're getting out of general 2330 01:46:39,339 --> 01:46:38,420 intelligence into some some pretty 2331 01:46:43,629 --> 01:46:39,349 frightening 2332 01:46:45,580 --> 01:46:43,639 levels of AI and is that part of the 2333 01:46:48,970 --> 01:46:45,590 simulation and living in that world and 2334 01:46:52,030 --> 01:46:48,980 if we get to that point where the Turing 2335 01:46:57,339 --> 01:46:52,040 test isn't even isn't even mentioned 2336 01:47:00,580 --> 01:46:57,349 anymore during test is you know it's 2337 01:47:03,580 --> 01:47:00,590 Alan Turing was a mathematician computer 2338 01:47:06,549 --> 01:47:03,590 scientist you know in England and he 2339 01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:06,559 came up with this idea of a game where 2340 01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:09,250 behind a curtain there would be a 2341 01:47:13,660 --> 01:47:11,570 computer and there would be a real 2342 01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:13,670 person and you would send messages back 2343 01:47:21,370 --> 01:47:17,449 and forth between yourself and person or 2344 01:47:22,930 --> 01:47:21,380 a versus person B and if you could not 2345 01:47:25,780 --> 01:47:22,940 tell which one was the computer and 2346 01:47:26,950 --> 01:47:25,790 which one was a real human being then AI 2347 01:47:28,979 --> 01:47:26,960 would have gotten to the point where it 2348 01:47:32,260 --> 01:47:28,989 can basically impersonate a human being 2349 01:47:35,319 --> 01:47:32,270 we're not there yet right we haven't yet 2350 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:35,329 passed the Turing test in a generalized 2351 01:47:39,430 --> 01:47:37,250 way but you know one of the the ten 2352 01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:39,440 stages that I lay out in the book 2353 01:47:44,859 --> 01:47:42,050 of getting into the simulation point is 2354 01:47:47,830 --> 01:47:44,869 AI and it's this idea of being able to 2355 01:47:51,129 --> 01:47:47,840 simulate realistic characters you know 2356 01:47:53,470 --> 01:47:51,139 within the simulation and then the 2357 01:47:55,209 --> 01:47:53,480 second part of that is if they're 2358 01:47:59,410 --> 01:47:55,219 realistic characters can we also have 2359 01:48:01,270 --> 01:47:59,420 false memories as well right and and in 2360 01:48:03,430 --> 01:48:01,280 that that's an area where you know 2361 01:48:06,850 --> 01:48:03,440 Phillip K dicks work is quite 2362 01:48:10,569 --> 01:48:06,860 interesting and Stephen Hawking you know 2363 01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:10,579 talks about this idea of within a black 2364 01:48:15,669 --> 01:48:13,730 hole information sometimes goes in and 2365 01:48:17,799 --> 01:48:15,679 doesn't come out and so he says that 2366 01:48:20,229 --> 01:48:17,809 that means determinism breaks down and 2367 01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:20,239 if a Terman is in breaks down we can't 2368 01:48:24,580 --> 01:48:22,130 know our past which is basically the 2369 01:48:25,930 --> 01:48:24,590 same as false memories or implanted 2370 01:48:28,390 --> 01:48:25,940 memories there's a great scene in the 2371 01:48:31,629 --> 01:48:28,400 Blade Runner in in you know adaptation 2372 01:48:33,310 --> 01:48:31,639 of Philip K dicks two Androids Dream of 2373 01:48:34,419 --> 01:48:33,320 Electric Sheep where there's an Android 2374 01:48:37,830 --> 01:48:34,429 and she doesn't know she's an Android 2375 01:48:40,510 --> 01:48:37,840 because she has real memories right and 2376 01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:40,520 that scene 2377 01:48:46,090 --> 01:48:43,010 thinking about this in the matrix were 2378 01:48:47,830 --> 01:48:46,100 Neos walking down the street in the 2379 01:48:52,030 --> 01:48:47,840 crowd and the lady in the red dress 2380 01:48:59,290 --> 01:48:52,040 walks by she's right she's a she's an 2381 01:49:04,230 --> 01:48:59,300 NPC and what's his name what's his name 2382 01:49:09,340 --> 01:49:06,190 what's his name rat 2383 01:49:12,070 --> 01:49:09,350 oh man anyway he goes I you want to meet 2384 01:49:16,510 --> 01:49:12,080 her right and that that's that's an 2385 01:49:19,090 --> 01:49:16,520 example of an AI that would be needed in 2386 01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:19,100 a simulation world like this which is 2387 01:49:25,210 --> 01:49:22,130 presented in the matrix that's right 2388 01:49:27,250 --> 01:49:25,220 and so those a eyes we're getting closer 2389 01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:27,260 I don't know if you saw this but 2390 01:49:33,910 --> 01:49:30,730 recently they had these virtual 2391 01:49:35,500 --> 01:49:33,920 influencers very popular in Asia where 2392 01:49:38,410 --> 01:49:35,510 their YouTube videos being made by these 2393 01:49:41,980 --> 01:49:38,420 virtual characters and in China you know 2394 01:49:44,440 --> 01:49:41,990 the state news agency released a virtual 2395 01:49:45,820 --> 01:49:44,450 news anchor who can basically read the 2396 01:49:47,980 --> 01:49:45,830 news and it looks like an actual person 2397 01:49:48,430 --> 01:49:47,990 I mean we're far from you know Max 2398 01:49:54,250 --> 01:49:48,440 Headroom 2399 01:49:57,400 --> 01:49:54,260 right back in the 80s but actually you 2400 01:49:59,860 --> 01:49:57,410 it's very hard to tell that this isn't a 2401 01:50:01,510 --> 01:49:59,870 real person that is reading the news now 2402 01:50:03,850 --> 01:50:01,520 in this case it's not full AI because 2403 01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:03,860 it's just reading the news but we're 2404 01:50:08,470 --> 01:50:05,210 getting there and then the matrix you 2405 01:50:09,940 --> 01:50:08,480 know AI is a big part of that movie and 2406 01:50:13,300 --> 01:50:09,950 the mythology around it 2407 01:50:17,860 --> 01:50:13,310 in fact Agent Smith right is basically 2408 01:50:20,620 --> 01:50:17,870 in AI the computer program who basically 2409 01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:20,630 decides who's there to try to keep order 2410 01:50:25,150 --> 01:50:23,330 in the matrix but I forget which movie 2411 01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:25,160 it was maybe the second movie where he 2412 01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:27,410 projects himself on to all of the people 2413 01:50:32,650 --> 01:50:29,090 in the matrix right remember that yes 2414 01:50:35,470 --> 01:50:32,660 wait everyone becomes looks like oh is 2415 01:50:38,290 --> 01:50:35,480 it Hugo Hugo Weaving I think cuz agents 2416 01:50:40,660 --> 01:50:38,300 an actress Agent Smith and so it's an 2417 01:50:43,630 --> 01:50:40,670 agent that's replicating itself you know 2418 01:50:45,850 --> 01:50:43,640 throughout the simulation and so you 2419 01:50:48,790 --> 01:50:45,860 know AI is very much you know a 2420 01:50:50,170 --> 01:50:48,800 fundamental part of being able to create 2421 01:50:52,300 --> 01:50:50,180 realistic simulations that are 2422 01:50:54,159 --> 01:50:52,310 indistinguishable from reality but also 2423 01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:54,169 I mentioned the simulation argue 2424 01:50:58,600 --> 01:50:56,570 which is all about AI which is the fact 2425 01:51:02,500 --> 01:50:58,610 that all the beings inside simulations 2426 01:51:05,589 --> 01:51:02,510 are actually biological beings I I don't 2427 01:51:06,879 --> 01:51:05,599 personally buy that side of it but the 2428 01:51:10,209 --> 01:51:06,889 fact that we could be interacting with 2429 01:51:12,669 --> 01:51:10,219 people and the fact that we might have 2430 01:51:15,790 --> 01:51:12,679 memories that are false that have been 2431 01:51:17,949 --> 01:51:15,800 implanted using code or data and we're 2432 01:51:20,709 --> 01:51:17,959 getting there so at MIT there was a 2433 01:51:23,949 --> 01:51:20,719 group in the brain science group where 2434 01:51:26,979 --> 01:51:23,959 they were able to implant a false memory 2435 01:51:28,899 --> 01:51:26,989 inside a rat using an electrical 2436 01:51:31,209 --> 01:51:28,909 stimulation now this is just the memory 2437 01:51:32,620 --> 01:51:31,219 it's a false memory of you know whether 2438 01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:32,630 you should go left or right so it's a 2439 01:51:36,489 --> 01:51:34,610 very simple thing but they said the 2440 01:51:40,989 --> 01:51:36,499 neurological structure of that false 2441 01:51:43,659 --> 01:51:40,999 memory was actually very similar to what 2442 01:51:45,399 --> 01:51:43,669 a real memory would look like and so you 2443 01:51:48,100 --> 01:51:45,409 know we're still years if not decades 2444 01:51:50,259 --> 01:51:48,110 away from being able to do that but if 2445 01:51:53,169 --> 01:51:50,269 we get to that point where we can place 2446 01:51:54,790 --> 01:51:53,179 false memories who's to say that a more 2447 01:51:58,389 --> 01:51:54,800 advanced civilization hasn't already 2448 01:52:00,639 --> 01:51:58,399 done that just like going back to the 2449 01:52:02,229 --> 01:52:00,649 Tibetan traditions in a dream I mean 2450 01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:02,239 we've all had dreams where we remembered 2451 01:52:07,029 --> 01:52:04,610 stuff then we wake up you realize that's 2452 01:52:09,639 --> 01:52:07,039 not a real memory that was a memory from 2453 01:52:11,830 --> 01:52:09,649 within that dream world and of that 2454 01:52:15,159 --> 01:52:11,840 character it's like the backstories you 2455 01:52:17,409 --> 01:52:15,169 know in in in in NPCs with in video 2456 01:52:20,679 --> 01:52:17,419 games that can be like false memories 2457 01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:20,689 and so you know it's all related to this 2458 01:52:24,939 --> 01:52:22,610 idea of virtual characters and what's 2459 01:52:26,919 --> 01:52:24,949 real and what's not and that's you know 2460 01:52:28,659 --> 01:52:26,929 what's great about still ok Dick's work 2461 01:52:29,770 --> 01:52:28,669 is it was very much and when I 2462 01:52:31,419 --> 01:52:29,780 interviewed Tessa I you know she's it 2463 01:52:33,279 --> 01:52:31,429 was very much about what is real and 2464 01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:33,289 what isn't and and you know she 2465 01:52:40,259 --> 01:52:35,570 mentioned that with the man in the high 2466 01:52:43,779 --> 01:52:40,269 castle you know he actually remembered a 2467 01:52:46,089 --> 01:52:43,789 timeline where the Axis powers won the 2468 01:52:48,429 --> 01:52:46,099 war and she said that he believed 2469 01:52:50,290 --> 01:52:48,439 someone rewound that simulation because 2470 01:52:52,750 --> 01:52:50,300 they didn't like that result and then 2471 01:52:54,850 --> 01:52:52,760 got us on our current timeline well if 2472 01:52:57,009 --> 01:52:54,860 we're in a simulated reality then you 2473 01:52:59,500 --> 01:52:57,019 can do things like that you can rewind 2474 01:53:00,729 --> 01:52:59,510 the timeline and then forward it again 2475 01:53:03,759 --> 01:53:00,739 and I have the transcript you know of 2476 01:53:06,759 --> 01:53:03,769 our interview up if somebody does a 2477 01:53:08,620 --> 01:53:06,769 search on say locate a dick the matrix 2478 01:53:11,529 --> 01:53:08,630 a conversation that I had with Tessa and 2479 01:53:16,419 --> 01:53:11,539 she talks more about that now what would 2480 01:53:18,759 --> 01:53:16,429 happen I mean how would we discover that 2481 01:53:21,689 --> 01:53:18,769 we are actually living in a simulation 2482 01:53:24,729 --> 01:53:21,699 would it be a glitch in the code you 2483 01:53:27,669 --> 01:53:24,739 know something that we could react to I 2484 01:53:29,229 --> 01:53:27,679 mean would that be free we'll do you 2485 01:53:33,729 --> 01:53:29,239 know what I mean that would take us off 2486 01:53:37,899 --> 01:53:33,739 of the said code of the simulation and 2487 01:53:40,029 --> 01:53:37,909 then would reveal itself to us and then 2488 01:53:43,179 --> 01:53:40,039 we could react to it in a free will 2489 01:53:45,939 --> 01:53:43,189 sense because we're rendering in 2490 01:53:48,580 --> 01:53:45,949 real-time right what would that would 2491 01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:48,590 that would that freak us out well I 2492 01:53:52,419 --> 01:53:50,449 think that that would and that's you 2493 01:53:55,810 --> 01:53:52,429 know I mentioned you know Jacques Vallee 2494 01:53:59,589 --> 01:53:55,820 earlier and you know he believes as many 2495 01:54:01,509 --> 01:53:59,599 people do that synchronicity is like a 2496 01:54:04,449 --> 01:54:01,519 glitch in the matrix and that it's 2497 01:54:05,890 --> 01:54:04,459 stored based on Association right that 2498 01:54:08,830 --> 01:54:05,900 information when you store information 2499 01:54:11,500 --> 01:54:08,840 in the database you store it based on 2500 01:54:13,509 --> 01:54:11,510 how things are associated and so you 2501 01:54:15,189 --> 01:54:13,519 know these are like little glitches in 2502 01:54:17,770 --> 01:54:15,199 the matrix and some people believe the 2503 01:54:22,509 --> 01:54:17,780 Mandela effect is basically evidence 2504 01:54:25,029 --> 01:54:22,519 that reality can be unwound and then we 2505 01:54:28,089 --> 01:54:25,039 move forward now I don't know if you've 2506 01:54:29,679 --> 01:54:28,099 seen The Adjustment Bureau I have which 2507 01:54:32,919 --> 01:54:29,689 was based on you know philip k dick 2508 01:54:35,620 --> 01:54:32,929 short story the adjustment team and in 2509 01:54:37,959 --> 01:54:35,630 that you know they what happened was 2510 01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:37,969 they froze like an entire building in 2511 01:54:43,259 --> 01:54:41,090 the story itself and then they changed 2512 01:54:45,609 --> 01:54:43,269 people's memories and then they 2513 01:54:47,589 --> 01:54:45,619 forwarded those characters so those 2514 01:54:49,449 --> 01:54:47,599 characters only remembered the new way 2515 01:54:52,089 --> 01:54:49,459 they didn't remember what had happened 2516 01:54:53,439 --> 01:54:52,099 before but the main character was 2517 01:54:55,029 --> 01:54:53,449 supposed to be in the building and he 2518 01:54:56,949 --> 01:54:55,039 was and he walked in on them while they 2519 01:54:59,649 --> 01:54:56,959 were adjusting everybody and he 2520 01:55:02,229 --> 01:54:59,659 remembered both the old way things used 2521 01:55:03,250 --> 01:55:02,239 to be and the new way and it's just 2522 01:55:05,169 --> 01:55:03,260 slightly different from the movie but 2523 01:55:08,799 --> 01:55:05,179 this is from the actual novel itself I 2524 01:55:11,799 --> 01:55:08,809 mean the short story itself and that was 2525 01:55:13,270 --> 01:55:11,809 you know a case where you've got someone 2526 01:55:15,339 --> 01:55:13,280 remembering something that's different 2527 01:55:17,770 --> 01:55:15,349 from what everybody else remembers so it 2528 01:55:20,499 --> 01:55:17,780 gets back to this idea a false memory so 2529 01:55:22,779 --> 01:55:20,509 that's one way of detecting it 2530 01:55:24,339 --> 01:55:22,789 another way is that there's a series of 2531 01:55:26,829 --> 01:55:24,349 physicists who believe that 2532 01:55:31,229 --> 01:55:26,839 you know as we do more delayed choice 2533 01:55:33,669 --> 01:55:31,239 experiments so there's a physicist named 2534 01:55:37,359 --> 01:55:33,679 Tom Campbell who wrote a book called my 2535 01:55:38,829 --> 01:55:37,369 big toe my theory of everything and you 2536 01:55:41,379 --> 01:55:38,839 know they are doing some experiments 2537 01:55:43,809 --> 01:55:41,389 with some folks at Caltech to show that 2538 01:55:46,269 --> 01:55:43,819 in fact the world is rendered only when 2539 01:55:48,519 --> 01:55:46,279 we observe it I mean that's been true at 2540 01:55:51,549 --> 01:55:48,529 the subatomic level but they wanted to 2541 01:55:52,869 --> 01:55:51,559 do a series of experiments you know 2542 01:55:53,949 --> 01:55:52,879 which build on the delayed choice 2543 01:55:56,289 --> 01:55:53,959 experiment I was talking about earlier 2544 01:55:59,079 --> 01:55:56,299 where you don't make the choice until 2545 01:56:01,239 --> 01:55:59,089 three steps down the road and so if they 2546 01:56:03,819 --> 01:56:01,249 can verify that all those three steps 2547 01:56:05,949 --> 01:56:03,829 aren't rendered until the choice is made 2548 01:56:07,449 --> 01:56:05,959 you know they believe you can prove that 2549 01:56:09,969 --> 01:56:07,459 it's just like a video game so that's 2550 01:56:12,519 --> 01:56:09,979 another way now there's yet a different 2551 01:56:14,859 --> 01:56:12,529 way some people believe we can sense we 2552 01:56:17,799 --> 01:56:14,869 can detect that we have pixels 2553 01:56:20,709 --> 01:56:17,809 all right so pixels are the the basis of 2554 01:56:24,039 --> 01:56:20,719 render worlds in our video games and so 2555 01:56:27,549 --> 01:56:24,049 the question is is the physical universe 2556 01:56:29,529 --> 01:56:27,559 pixelated right right and and many 2557 01:56:31,929 --> 01:56:29,539 people think that it is I mean I 2558 01:56:35,049 --> 01:56:31,939 remember a first hearing about Zeno's 2559 01:56:37,599 --> 01:56:35,059 paradox right which is it was a Greek 2560 01:56:39,669 --> 01:56:37,609 philosopher who had many paradoxes but 2561 01:56:42,819 --> 01:56:39,679 one of his main paradoxes was with 2562 01:56:44,169 --> 01:56:42,829 Achilles and a tortoise and he said if 2563 01:56:47,199 --> 01:56:44,179 Achilles needs to catch up to the 2564 01:56:48,639 --> 01:56:47,209 tortoise first he has to get halfway to 2565 01:56:50,469 --> 01:56:48,649 you know between himself and the 2566 01:56:52,689 --> 01:56:50,479 tortoise and then he has to get halfway 2567 01:56:56,049 --> 01:56:52,699 between that and then halfway between 2568 01:56:58,239 --> 01:56:56,059 that and so if distance was continuous 2569 01:56:59,979 --> 01:56:58,249 you could always go half way and you 2570 01:57:02,019 --> 01:56:59,989 would never quite reach it the same idea 2571 01:57:04,059 --> 01:57:02,029 of how do you actually touch the wall 2572 01:57:06,899 --> 01:57:04,069 with your finger because you always have 2573 01:57:09,249 --> 01:57:06,909 to go half way and so at some point 2574 01:57:11,019 --> 01:57:09,259 either has to be something that says 2575 01:57:14,619 --> 01:57:11,029 okay you've gone over the the smallest 2576 01:57:15,999 --> 01:57:14,629 possible limit to to fill the gap 2577 01:57:18,099 --> 01:57:16,009 otherwise you would just keep going half 2578 01:57:21,369 --> 01:57:18,109 and half and half forever ad infinitum 2579 01:57:22,569 --> 01:57:21,379 and that's smallest it would be like a 2580 01:57:25,299 --> 01:57:22,579 pixelization 2581 01:57:27,129 --> 01:57:25,309 of space and it turns out there is a 2582 01:57:31,149 --> 01:57:27,139 value like that it's Planck's constant 2583 01:57:33,339 --> 01:57:31,159 and below that value they can't measure 2584 01:57:33,970 --> 01:57:33,349 anything so nothing is reliable so it's 2585 01:57:36,430 --> 01:57:33,980 considered 2586 01:57:40,270 --> 01:57:36,440 the smallest measurable value but it's 2587 01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:40,280 based on the speed of light that's how 2588 01:57:46,450 --> 01:57:42,770 he derived you know that specific value 2589 01:57:50,140 --> 01:57:46,460 and so if we think of pixels in a video 2590 01:57:54,479 --> 01:57:50,150 game they're individual pixels that are 2591 01:57:56,979 --> 01:57:54,489 lit up right based upon some information 2592 01:57:59,260 --> 01:57:56,989 that's stored in the computer that says 2593 01:58:00,970 --> 01:57:59,270 you know I'm in the house and they're 2594 01:58:03,790 --> 01:58:00,980 models say I need to render this 2595 01:58:06,220 --> 01:58:03,800 specific set of pixels and so some 2596 01:58:07,990 --> 01:58:06,230 people think we can detect the pixels by 2597 01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:08,000 looking at the structure so that's yet 2598 01:58:12,820 --> 01:58:10,970 another way to try to detect you know if 2599 01:58:13,990 --> 01:58:12,830 we're actually inside a computer 2600 01:58:16,420 --> 01:58:14,000 simulated world some people think 2601 01:58:18,729 --> 01:58:16,430 fractal algorithms are evidence of 2602 01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:18,739 computation there yeah I saw this 2603 01:58:25,990 --> 01:58:23,330 debated with a Brian green and the 2604 01:58:28,090 --> 01:58:26,000 evidence presented forward about us 2605 01:58:30,190 --> 01:58:28,100 being pixels all the way around 2606 01:58:32,050 --> 01:58:30,200 everything that you look it was 2607 01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:32,060 fascinating we're gonna continue this 2608

I got that up and 2725 02:03:57,560 --> 02:03:55,440 then also over in Twitter everybody I 2726 02:04:00,590 --> 02:03:57,570 don't remember the animation episodes of 2727 02:04:03,350 --> 02:04:00,600 Fringe all you got to do is look it up I 2728 02:04:08,060 --> 02:04:03,360 just posted a picture here is Leonard 2729 02:04:10,790 --> 02:04:08,070 Nimoy and they're there it's a still 2730 02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:10,800 from some of the episodes of Fringe that 2731 02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:12,210 were in animation that we're incredible 2732 02:04:16,610 --> 02:04:14,010 all you got to do is search it 2733 02:04:18,650 --> 02:04:16,620 fringe animation episodes and you'll get 2734 02:04:21,380 --> 02:04:18,660 thousands of images but there's one 2735 02:04:23,360 --> 02:04:21,390 there and I wanted to say this this is 2736 02:04:28,130 --> 02:04:23,370 where I want to go next some of the 2737 02:04:31,940 --> 02:04:28,140 philosophical sides of of the simulation 2738 02:04:35,479 --> 02:04:31,950 hypothesis at Universal Studios here in 2739 02:04:37,729 --> 02:04:35,489 Los Angeles R is in city wok they used 2740 02:04:40,220 --> 02:04:37,739 to have they don't have them anymore but 2741 02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:40,230 they for years they have these four 2742 02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:43,050 virtual roller coasters that you could 2743 02:04:48,140 --> 02:04:45,810 ride and one was like in a mineshaft and 2744 02:04:49,580 --> 02:04:48,150 one was in outer space and one was you 2745 02:04:53,540 --> 02:04:49,590 know whatever and one was traditional 2746 02:04:55,910 --> 02:04:53,550 but they were free if you went you know 2747 02:04:57,770 --> 02:04:55,920 paid for city wok you could ride these 2748 02:04:59,900 --> 02:04:57,780 right and me and my friends we would 2749 02:05:00,350 --> 02:04:59,910 just write them one after another we'd 2750 02:05:03,350 --> 02:05:00,360 come off 2751 02:05:06,050 --> 02:05:03,360 and it was virtual you're sitting in a 2752 02:05:08,510 --> 02:05:06,060 chair that's moving right and you've got 2753 02:05:10,430 --> 02:05:08,520 this 3d surround of this rollercoaster 2754 02:05:13,580 --> 02:05:10,440 and the noise and the clanking and 2755 02:05:16,580 --> 02:05:13,590 everything but I didn't care it wasn't a 2756 02:05:21,290 --> 02:05:16,590 real rollercoaster but it was just as 2757 02:05:25,360 --> 02:05:21,300 exciting if it felt real now if we're 2758 02:05:27,920 --> 02:05:25,370 living in a simulation do we care 2759 02:05:30,620 --> 02:05:27,930 well that's an interesting question you 2760 02:05:32,900 --> 02:05:30,630 know that reminds me of the Back to the 2761 02:05:35,090 --> 02:05:32,910 Future ride at Universal Studios in 2762 02:05:37,850 --> 02:05:35,100 Florida which I don't know if they still 2763 02:05:41,030 --> 02:05:37,860 have it there but you were in you know 2764 02:05:44,330 --> 02:05:41,040 that DeLorean and you were basically it 2765 02:05:46,250 --> 02:05:44,340 would move left and right so it has 2766 02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:46,260 kind of what we consider haptic or 2767 02:05:51,410 --> 02:05:49,650 kinesthetic responses you know kind of 2768 02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:51,420 like in a movie theater where they've 2769 02:05:56,149 --> 02:05:54,210 got the the chairs that vibrate you know 2770 02:05:59,950 --> 02:05:56,159 and there's an explosion on the screen 2771 02:06:04,129 --> 02:05:59,960 and so you know I think our technology 2772 02:06:05,959 --> 02:06:04,139 you know I'm I'm a videogame guy and our 2773 02:06:08,120 --> 02:06:05,969 technology is getting to that point 2774 02:06:10,399 --> 02:06:08,130 where you know I mentioned the ping-pong 2775 02:06:12,620 --> 02:06:10,409 game earlier where I thought I was 2776 02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:12,630 really there but if you look at 2777 02:06:17,270 --> 02:06:15,690 something like ready player one the 2778 02:06:19,040 --> 02:06:17,280 movie that came out from Steven 2779 02:06:22,729 --> 02:06:19,050 Spielberg last year and based on the 2780 02:06:25,310 --> 02:06:22,739 book by our Ernest Cline they had they 2781 02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:25,320 would wear haptic suits while they were 2782 02:06:29,300 --> 02:06:27,810 inside the virtual reality right so they 2783 02:06:30,950 --> 02:06:29,310 could feel if they were being punched 2784 02:06:32,780 --> 02:06:30,960 and they were they would be on these 2785 02:06:34,700 --> 02:06:32,790 treadmills these omnidirectional 2786 02:06:37,010 --> 02:06:34,710 treadmills so they could feel like they 2787 02:06:39,470 --> 02:06:37,020 were actually moving and many people 2788 02:06:42,410 --> 02:06:39,480 preferred the reality inside the Oasis 2789 02:06:43,820 --> 02:06:42,420 you know to the physical reality that 2790 02:06:47,089 --> 02:06:43,830 was described in that novel which is 2791 02:06:49,990 --> 02:06:47,099 kind of a dystopian future and so you 2792 02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:50,000 know it's it's an interesting question 2793 02:06:55,910 --> 02:06:52,770 what does it matter I mean what does it 2794 02:06:58,280 --> 02:06:55,920 matter if you feel the same emotions 2795 02:07:00,109 --> 02:06:58,290 you're still dealing with the 2796 02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:00,119 implications of breaking the law or 2797 02:07:05,870 --> 02:07:02,730 murder or morals and ethics and of 2798 02:07:09,500 --> 02:07:05,880 course food and experiences and dreams 2799 02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:09,510 and and everything if what what would it 2800 02:07:16,550 --> 02:07:12,090 matter what should we care would you 2801 02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:16,560 care I personally would but you know 2802 02:07:21,439 --> 02:07:18,090 it's a it's a question that many people 2803 02:07:23,209 --> 02:07:21,449 ask and it's one of the areas that you 2804 02:07:25,040 --> 02:07:23,219 know in simulation hypothesis you get a 2805 02:07:27,470 --> 02:07:25,050 certain percentage of people so I get 2806 02:07:30,410 --> 02:07:27,480 interesting reactions when I talk about 2807 02:07:32,570 --> 02:07:30,420 this right there are some of the 2808 02:07:34,220 --> 02:07:32,580 scientists who say oh that's just like 2809 02:07:35,570 --> 02:07:34,230 religion therefore you know we don't 2810 02:07:38,990 --> 02:07:35,580 want you know we don't want to take it 2811 02:07:40,910 --> 02:07:39,000 seriously and then sometimes you go far 2812 02:07:44,180 --> 02:07:40,920 on the religious consciousness side and 2813 02:07:46,339 --> 02:07:44,190 they say oh that's just AI and we're not 2814 02:07:47,780 --> 02:07:46,349 AI we're conscious beings therefore we 2815 02:07:50,899 --> 02:07:47,790 can't take the simulation hypothesis 2816 02:07:52,609 --> 02:07:50,909 seriously and it's when you've got you 2817 02:07:53,899 --> 02:07:52,619 know both sides kind of unhappy with it 2818 02:07:57,419 --> 02:07:53,909 that I know we must be onto something 2819 02:07:59,339 --> 02:07:57,429 here that we're really bridging this 2820 02:08:01,439 --> 02:07:59,349 but then a third reaction sometimes is 2821 02:08:03,629 --> 02:08:01,449 well what does it matter let's forget 2822 02:08:06,209 --> 02:08:03,639 about it but when you want to know if 2823 02:08:08,069 --> 02:08:06,219 you were inside a holodeck right to know 2824 02:08:10,919 --> 02:08:08,079 that there was an actual spaceship 2825 02:08:13,819 --> 02:08:10,929 enterprise outside the holodeck I think 2826 02:08:18,509 --> 02:08:13,829 it can give you a sense of perspective 2827 02:08:20,609 --> 02:08:18,519 not unlike you know what people who have 2828 02:08:23,310 --> 02:08:20,619 had a near-death experience right they 2829 02:08:27,330 --> 02:08:23,320 get a perspective on what's going on in 2830 02:08:28,830 --> 02:08:27,340 their lives and it helps them to act a 2831 02:08:30,330 --> 02:08:28,840 certain way and helps them to make 2832 02:08:32,910 --> 02:08:30,340 progress in the video game I mean if you 2833 02:08:35,699 --> 02:08:32,920 were inside a videogame it wouldn't it 2834 02:08:38,129 --> 02:08:35,709 help you to know what elements were 2835 02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:38,139 being used to keep score and what your 2836 02:08:43,739 --> 02:08:41,170 quests or achievements are versus 2837 02:08:46,020 --> 02:08:43,749 thinking it's just all pointless so I 2838 02:08:48,270 --> 02:08:46,030 personally would want to know but maybe 2839 02:08:53,489 --> 02:08:48,280 not everyone would want to know if the 2840 02:08:57,060 --> 02:08:53,499 universe is math right that's all it is 2841 02:09:00,359 --> 02:08:57,070 the universe is nothing but math and 2842 02:09:02,100 --> 02:09:00,369 things are going to happen the way that 2843 02:09:06,029 --> 02:09:02,110 they're gonna happen which brings up the 2844 02:09:08,429 --> 02:09:06,039 question of free will and or not that 2845 02:09:10,620 --> 02:09:08,439 everything is predetermined and if that 2846 02:09:13,799 --> 02:09:10,630 is indeed the case now we are talking 2847 02:09:17,399 --> 02:09:13,809 about numbers and what we are doing 2848 02:09:21,509 --> 02:09:17,409 right now is can't be anything but a 2849 02:09:23,729 --> 02:09:21,519 simulation right so this gets back to 2850 02:09:25,859 --> 02:09:23,739 that kind of central debate among 2851 02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:25,869 simulation theorists and if there 2852 02:09:29,310 --> 02:09:28,090 actually is such a term but there are 2853 02:09:33,719 --> 02:09:29,320 certainly people that love to debate 2854 02:09:38,699 --> 02:09:33,729 this stuff online that whether we are in 2855 02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:38,709 fact AI or not and this is where we're 2856 02:09:46,169 --> 02:09:43,570 trying to this idea of why do you need a 2857 02:09:49,339 --> 02:09:46,179 computer simulation for anything and 2858 02:09:53,009 --> 02:09:49,349 there's a concept called computational 2859 02:09:54,959 --> 02:09:53,019 irreducibility and you know this was 2860 02:09:57,839 --> 02:09:54,969 popularized by Stephen Wolfram who 2861 02:09:59,100 --> 02:09:57,849 created the Mathematica software but you 2862 02:10:01,189 --> 02:09:59,110 know it's been around for a while and it 2863 02:10:03,390 --> 02:10:01,199 ties into ideas of chaos theory and 2864 02:10:05,549 --> 02:10:03,400 chaos theory came about because people 2865 02:10:10,540 --> 02:10:05,559 realized that even if you have a purely 2866 02:10:13,390 --> 02:10:10,550 deterministic model that says 2867 02:10:15,279 --> 02:10:13,400 you know a set of equations x equals x 2868 02:10:19,209 --> 02:10:15,289 plus 1 and you keep running it again and 2869 02:10:21,669 --> 02:10:19,219 again and again for you to know what is 2870 02:10:24,100 --> 02:10:21,679 gonna happen at the 50 millionth step 2871 02:10:26,890 --> 02:10:24,110 you can't just calculate it you have to 2872 02:10:29,879 --> 02:10:26,900 actually run the program 50 million 2873 02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:29,889 times and that even a slight change in 2874 02:10:35,410 --> 02:10:32,690 the input variables can result in a 2875 02:10:38,049 --> 02:10:35,420 vastly different outcome this is when 2876 02:10:39,549 --> 02:10:38,059 people try to predict the weather for 2877 02:10:41,049 --> 02:10:39,559 example this is why they were so bad at 2878 02:10:44,049 --> 02:10:41,059 it for a while but as computational 2879 02:10:45,640 --> 02:10:44,059 power started to get better they started 2880 02:10:47,529 --> 02:10:45,650 to become better at predicting at least 2881 02:10:48,729 --> 02:10:47,539 within a few days right we still can't 2882 02:10:51,609 --> 02:10:48,739 predict what the weather's gonna be like 2883 02:10:53,680 --> 02:10:51,619 a year from now exactly on this day at 2884 02:10:56,709 --> 02:10:53,690 this time that's because there are so 2885 02:10:58,779 --> 02:10:56,719 many variables to simulate but but it's 2886 02:11:01,270 --> 02:10:58,789 a computational irreducible problem and 2887 02:11:03,910 --> 02:11:01,280 that you have to compute it and so if 2888 02:11:06,430 --> 02:11:03,920 that's the case with the simulation even 2889 02:11:08,319 --> 02:11:06,440 if we're in a simulation where the 2890 02:11:10,569 --> 02:11:08,329 initial variables are determined the 2891 02:11:13,359 --> 02:11:10,579 reason you run the simulation is there 2892 02:11:15,790 --> 02:11:13,369 you need to account for little my new 2893 02:11:18,399 --> 02:11:15,800 changes to see where they would end up 2894 02:11:20,229 --> 02:11:18,409 and and if the certain extent you know 2895 02:11:22,060 --> 02:11:20,239 this is what tessa was telling us about 2896 02:11:24,459 --> 02:11:22,070 philip k dick where he believed that 2897 02:11:26,859 --> 02:11:24,469 there were some beings whether they were 2898 02:11:29,319 --> 02:11:26,869 from the future or who knows where they 2899 02:11:30,759 --> 02:11:29,329 would run the simulation to see where it 2900 02:11:31,899 --> 02:11:30,769 led and then they say well they weren't 2901 02:11:34,810 --> 02:11:31,909 happy with an outcome and they would 2902 02:11:37,479 --> 02:11:34,820 rewind the simulation and to go in a 2903 02:11:39,939 --> 02:11:37,489 different direction so there has to be 2904 02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:39,949 some element of randomness refer a free 2905 02:11:43,620 --> 02:11:41,570 choice there and you know i tend to be 2906 02:11:46,180 --> 02:11:43,630 believe that just like a video game 2907 02:11:48,640 --> 02:11:46,190 there may be limited choices but you are 2908 02:11:50,979 --> 02:11:48,650 free to kill the orc or not in the video 2909 02:11:53,859 --> 02:11:50,989 game so the player who is controlling 2910 02:11:55,419 --> 02:11:53,869 the character does have the option of 2911 02:11:57,729 --> 02:11:55,429 changing things and that leads to a 2912 02:12:03,540 --> 02:11:57,739 different result in the simulation 2913 02:12:06,489 --> 02:12:03,550 itself well if we if we accept the 2914 02:12:08,790 --> 02:12:06,499 simulation hypothesis let's let's go 2915 02:12:13,899 --> 02:12:08,800 there for a second and let's table that 2916 02:12:17,259 --> 02:12:13,909 then the question of parallel worlds and 2917 02:12:20,049 --> 02:12:17,269 and the multiverse the one aspect that 2918 02:12:21,879 --> 02:12:20,059 is always up for debate is the 2919 02:12:23,919 --> 02:12:21,889 physicality of 2920 02:12:25,930 --> 02:12:23,929 said parallel-world how could that be 2921 02:12:29,140 --> 02:12:25,940 possible an alternate timeline that's 2922 02:12:31,330 --> 02:12:29,150 just like our world that's just a little 2923 02:12:34,390 --> 02:12:31,340 bit different but it exists 2924 02:12:38,500 --> 02:12:34,400 well that would answer the physical side 2925 02:12:42,689 --> 02:12:38,510 of it right that just just a simulation 2926 02:12:45,850 --> 02:12:42,699 it's not a physical parallel world and 2927 02:12:48,550 --> 02:12:45,860 and and the the multi versus that would 2928 02:12:53,320 --> 02:12:48,560 be out there it's just a simulation 2929 02:12:54,970 --> 02:12:53,330 right so if you think about if the 2930 02:12:57,669 --> 02:12:54,980 parallel worlds are the many-worlds 2931 02:13:00,820 --> 02:12:57,679 interpretation of quantum physics is 2932 02:13:04,209 --> 02:13:00,830 that every time there's a choice or the 2933 02:13:05,379 --> 02:13:04,219 universe is actually branching into two 2934 02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:05,389 different universes and then you have 2935 02:13:08,200 --> 02:13:06,770 another choice and it's branching into 2936 02:13:10,750 --> 02:13:08,210 two different universes right right 2937 02:13:14,109 --> 02:13:10,760 right on and on and on so there's an 2938 02:13:15,550 --> 02:13:14,119 almost infinite set of worlds no Stephen 2939 02:13:17,530 --> 02:13:15,560 Hawking said it's not infinite because 2940 02:13:19,209 --> 02:13:17,540 there are only so many particles that 2941 02:13:21,340 --> 02:13:19,219 you can arrange it in so many ways but 2942 02:13:24,160 --> 02:13:21,350 it's a very large number in any case 2943 02:13:27,600 --> 02:13:24,170 well turns out the only way to do that 2944 02:13:30,490 --> 02:13:27,610 you would have to clone the existing 2945 02:13:33,580 --> 02:13:30,500 world right in our physical world and 2946 02:13:34,479 --> 02:13:33,590 then have it go off in a slightly 2947 02:13:38,140 --> 02:13:34,489 different direction then you would have 2948 02:13:40,959 --> 02:13:38,150 to clone that again now that's pretty 2949 02:13:43,419 --> 02:13:40,969 easy to do on a video game server right 2950 02:13:45,820 --> 02:13:43,429 we can clone you know - we can take a 2951 02:13:47,800 --> 02:13:45,830 world of warcraft server and say this is 2952 02:13:49,810 --> 02:13:47,810 the status and let's make another copy 2953 02:13:52,419 --> 02:13:49,820 of it on another server and then we can 2954 02:13:55,540 --> 02:13:52,429 let that run independently so that then 2955 02:13:57,910 --> 02:13:55,550 people can make different choices but in 2956 02:14:01,000 --> 02:13:57,920 fact you know in computer science 2957 02:14:02,950 --> 02:14:01,010 this idea of copying pixels and copying 2958 02:14:07,300 --> 02:14:02,960 information it's a it's a basic 2959 02:14:10,510 --> 02:14:07,310 operation that can be done very fast and 2960 02:14:12,550 --> 02:14:10,520 very quickly so the only practical way 2961 02:14:15,040 --> 02:14:12,560 to have these different universes 2962 02:14:17,620 --> 02:14:15,050 created on the spot like that would be 2963 02:14:21,310 --> 02:14:17,630 to have some type of computation that 2964 02:14:24,250 --> 02:14:21,320 can do a clone very quickly and that's 2965 02:14:27,910 --> 02:14:24,260 another reason why the simulation 2966 02:14:29,590 --> 02:14:27,920 hypothesis ties into quantum physics and 2967 02:14:31,089 --> 02:14:29,600 this idea of parallel universes now you 2968 02:14:33,759 --> 02:14:31,099 know I mentioned my first video game I 2969 02:14:35,609 --> 02:14:33,769 ever created was tic-tac-toe game and 2970 02:14:37,779 --> 02:14:35,619 you know I've played against my brother 2971 02:14:39,790 --> 02:14:37,789 initially and then he got bored so then 2972 02:14:42,220 --> 02:14:39,800 I tried to create an algorithm that 2973 02:14:43,779 --> 02:14:42,230 would kind of predict you know where the 2974 02:14:45,250 --> 02:14:43,789 best place is to put the action or 2975 02:14:48,489 --> 02:14:45,260 though oh and that's not very hard to do 2976 02:14:51,220 --> 02:14:48,499 with tic-tac-toe but I mentioned Claude 2977 02:14:52,830 --> 02:14:51,230 Shannon who was a mighty professor who 2978 02:14:57,189 --> 02:14:52,840 built the chess-playing computer back in 2979 02:14:59,200 --> 02:14:57,199 1950s you know he laid out the basic way 2980 02:15:01,180 --> 02:14:59,210 that even today a lot of chess-playing 2981 02:15:02,549 --> 02:15:01,190 computers at least for many years they 2982 02:15:07,180 --> 02:15:02,559 worked this way and they would project 2983 02:15:09,399 --> 02:15:07,190 each of the possible moves and then they 2984 02:15:11,169 --> 02:15:09,409 would evaluate you know what the ideal 2985 02:15:14,500 --> 02:15:11,179 situation was and then they would back 2986 02:15:16,299 --> 02:15:14,510 up and then go towards that ideal move 2987 02:15:18,430 --> 02:15:16,309 and so years later when I was building 2988 02:15:20,470 --> 02:15:18,440 you know more video games and that that 2989 02:15:24,009 --> 02:15:20,480 we're trying to basically have all these 2990 02:15:26,830 --> 02:15:24,019 alternatives in in memory and then pick 2991 02:15:29,379 --> 02:15:26,840 the best one you know it reminded me a 2992 02:15:32,290 --> 02:15:29,389 lot of the parallel worlds theory in 2993 02:15:35,709 --> 02:15:32,300 that these are probable worlds that 2994 02:15:38,589 --> 02:15:35,719 exist is information and then you could 2995 02:15:41,169 --> 02:15:38,599 go down the path and actually render 2996 02:15:42,370 --> 02:15:41,179 whichever one you want but I think the 2997 02:15:45,000 --> 02:15:42,380 only product or way for that to happen 2998 02:15:46,989 --> 02:15:45,010 would it for to be some type of 2999 02:15:49,390 --> 02:15:46,999 computational system some type of 3000 02:15:51,549 --> 02:15:49,400 computer system that's underlying the 3001 02:15:52,989 --> 02:15:51,559 entire mechanism and so if you did do 3002 02:15:56,950 --> 02:15:52,999 that where you started at the beginning 3003 02:16:00,430 --> 02:15:56,960 and you cloned one world and created a 3004 02:16:02,890 --> 02:16:00,440 new one you started the same but in the 3005 02:16:05,859 --> 02:16:02,900 end you would have totally different 3006 02:16:08,379 --> 02:16:05,869 worlds because they would have the same 3007 02:16:11,129 --> 02:16:08,389 outcomes that's right and that's what 3008 02:16:14,470 --> 02:16:11,139 chaos theory is all about it says 3009 02:16:16,060 --> 02:16:14,480 sensitivity to initial conditions and if 3010 02:16:17,770 --> 02:16:16,070 the initial conditions change slightly 3011 02:16:20,680 --> 02:16:17,780 so even though they might be the same at 3012 02:16:24,580 --> 02:16:20,690 step one okay so earlier we talked about 3013 02:16:27,729 --> 02:16:24,590 this idea of pixelization and we said is 3014 02:16:29,859 --> 02:16:27,739 the world pixelated which would make it 3015 02:16:31,870 --> 02:16:29,869 more like a computer simulation in 3016 02:16:36,490 --> 02:16:31,880 computer simulations you also have this 3017 02:16:39,250 --> 02:16:36,500 idea of a clock speed in all processors 3018 02:16:42,580 --> 02:16:39,260 right and so a clock speed for computer 3019 02:16:45,009 --> 02:16:42,590 program is the minimal amount of time 3020 02:16:47,350 --> 02:16:45,019 that you can measure so you can't go 3021 02:16:49,210 --> 02:16:47,360 underneath that so if you're inside of 3022 02:16:52,270 --> 02:16:49,220 that's running on a processor with a 3023 02:16:54,070 --> 02:16:52,280 clock speed if say one millisecond and 3024 02:16:57,310 --> 02:16:54,080 the numbers are actually way smaller 3025 02:17:00,550 --> 02:16:57,320 than one millisecond but you cannot 3026 02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:00,560 measure anything that happens at less 3027 02:17:06,400 --> 02:17:04,010 than that and so in a simulation you 3028 02:17:08,470 --> 02:17:06,410 have these discrete steps now you can 3029 02:17:11,230 --> 02:17:08,480 have multiples of that clock speed so 3030 02:17:13,541 --> 02:17:11,240 you might say simulate population of 3031 02:17:16,390 --> 02:17:13,551 fruit flies every step is considered one 3032 02:17:18,490 --> 02:17:16,400 year where the fruit flies you know die 3033 02:17:20,530 --> 02:17:18,500 and then they reproduce and you say 3034 02:17:22,450 --> 02:17:20,540 after ten years what's the population of 3035 02:17:25,180 --> 02:17:22,460 fruit flies and so this is how chaos 3036 02:17:27,370 --> 02:17:25,190 theory actually developed was that even 3037 02:17:29,500 --> 02:17:27,380 little changes somewhere on step two 3038 02:17:33,520 --> 02:17:29,510 ended up producing a vastly different 3039 02:17:34,780 --> 02:17:33,530 outcome you know down the road and so 3040 02:17:37,320 --> 02:17:34,790 that's exactly what could be happening 3041 02:17:41,380 --> 02:17:37,330 you know with these parallel worlds is 3042 02:17:43,810 --> 02:17:41,390 that even a small change in steps two or 3043 02:17:45,850 --> 02:17:43,820 three and in quantum physics they talk 3044 02:17:48,850 --> 02:17:45,860 about you know a very large number 3045 02:17:51,550 --> 02:17:48,860 almost infinite set of possibilities and 3046 02:17:54,340 --> 02:17:51,560 and and multiverses you know that are 3047 02:17:56,410 --> 02:17:54,350 out there okay and you know tying back 3048 02:17:58,630 --> 02:17:56,420 to to lighten up the quantum physics we 3049 02:18:00,581 --> 02:17:58,640 tie back to you know science fiction 3050 02:18:03,070 --> 02:18:00,591 there's you know the the the CW series 3051 02:18:05,110 --> 02:18:03,080 the flash all right and they always go 3052 02:18:07,630 --> 02:18:05,120 to earth 19 and they get characters from 3053 02:18:09,730 --> 02:18:07,640 you know earth - right and from earth 19 3054 02:18:11,890 --> 02:18:09,740 and then you know reasonably there was 3055 02:18:14,740 --> 02:18:11,900 the enter the spider verse but this idea 3056 02:18:17,860 --> 02:18:14,750 has percolated from physics now into 3057 02:18:19,930 --> 02:18:17,870 popular culture as well but you know the 3058 02:18:22,750 --> 02:18:19,940 question of whether they're real or 3059 02:18:24,190 --> 02:18:22,760 computed is an interesting one but if 3060 02:18:26,800 --> 02:18:24,200 they're all simulated then I guess it 3061 02:18:28,900 --> 02:18:26,810 doesn't really matter well what okay so 3062 02:18:31,300 --> 02:18:28,910 now you've you've written a book you've 3063 02:18:35,291 --> 02:18:31,310 compiled all of this information you've 3064 02:18:37,120 --> 02:18:35,301 researched not only the science but the 3065 02:18:41,050 --> 02:18:37,130 religion side and the science fiction 3066 02:18:43,990 --> 02:18:41,060 side what have you learned is it 3067 02:18:46,390 --> 02:18:44,000 possible I asked you earlier if you 3068 02:18:49,390 --> 02:18:46,400 would upload yourself right and he said 3069 02:18:51,490 --> 02:18:49,400 probably not right you're happy in this 3070 02:18:54,130 --> 02:18:51,500 world that we live in but what have you 3071 02:18:57,970 --> 02:18:54,140 learned is are we living in a simulation 3072 02:19:00,889 --> 02:18:57,980 is it possible yeah I think it's not 3073 02:19:04,069 --> 02:19:00,899 only possible I think it's probable it's 3074 02:19:09,469 --> 02:19:04,079 more likely that what we think of as the 3075 02:19:12,139 --> 02:19:09,479 physical world is actually a computed 3076 02:19:15,500 --> 02:19:12,149 world based on information computation 3077 02:19:17,179 --> 02:19:15,510 and in algorithms then the materialistic 3078 02:19:19,069 --> 02:19:17,189 model I mean the materialistic model 3079 02:19:22,009 --> 02:19:19,079 when you get right down to it and you 3080 02:19:24,019 --> 02:19:22,019 talk to the physicist you know as you 3081 02:19:27,409 --> 02:19:24,029 look inside the atom there is no 3082 02:19:30,589 --> 02:19:27,419 physical object there it's really a set 3083 02:19:32,979 --> 02:19:30,599 of relationships and information and so 3084 02:19:36,139 --> 02:19:32,989 if that's the case that sounds so much 3085 02:19:39,229 --> 02:19:36,149 like the video game world that I've been 3086 02:19:41,629 --> 02:19:39,239 in and so as I research these things the 3087 02:19:43,219 --> 02:19:41,639 you know initially it was the spark of 3088 02:19:46,609 --> 02:19:43,229 an eye it was like a little bit of an 3089 02:19:50,479 --> 02:19:46,619 idea that this could be serious but the 3090 02:19:52,909 --> 02:19:50,489 more I investigated the physics the more 3091 02:19:54,710 --> 02:19:52,919 that I investigated the quantum side of 3092 02:19:57,769 --> 02:19:54,720 it the more that I looked at quantum 3093 02:20:00,349 --> 02:19:57,779 computing and how it could be used to 3094 02:20:02,540 --> 02:20:00,359 simulate the world I saw other parallels 3095 02:20:03,800 --> 02:20:02,550 you know with the spiritual and 3096 02:20:05,989 --> 02:20:03,810 religious traditions which I've also 3097 02:20:08,929 --> 02:20:05,999 spent a lot of time studying and so for 3098 02:20:12,889 --> 02:20:08,939 me you know this is the one theory that 3099 02:20:14,510 --> 02:20:12,899 can bring together these different ways 3100 02:20:17,059 --> 02:20:14,520 of looking at the universe in the search 3101 02:20:19,790 --> 02:20:17,069 for truth so I you know well we cannot 3102 02:20:22,250 --> 02:20:19,800 say 100% and yes we were in a simulation 3103 02:20:24,710 --> 02:20:22,260 I what I have learned is I think it's 3104 02:20:27,109 --> 02:20:24,720 much more likely that we are in some 3105 02:20:30,830 --> 02:20:27,119 type of an information-based simulated 3106 02:20:32,569 --> 02:20:30,840 world than not I think the model of 3107 02:20:34,699 --> 02:20:32,579 being in a physical world just doesn't 3108 02:20:38,149 --> 02:20:34,709 match you know many of the findings of 3109 02:20:40,670 --> 02:20:38,159 either quantum physics or of what we've 3110 02:20:44,269 --> 02:20:40,680 been hearing from mystics and spiritual 3111 02:20:47,389 --> 02:20:44,279 traditions it certainly answers a lot of 3112 02:20:51,830 --> 02:20:47,399 questions when you look at things like 3113 02:20:55,399 --> 02:20:51,840 not only the question of UFOs or speed 3114 02:20:57,889 --> 02:20:55,409 faster than speed of light or manure all 3115 02:21:02,569 --> 02:20:57,899 of that because it's a simulation one - 3116 02:21:04,340 --> 02:21:02,579 like us homo sapien sapien how we just 3117 02:21:06,979 --> 02:21:04,350 appeared here two hundred thousand years 3118 02:21:09,739 --> 02:21:06,989 ago and we don't match there is no 3119 02:21:13,450 --> 02:21:09,749 missing link there isn't we just 3120 02:21:16,450 --> 02:21:13,460 appeared well maybe we're just npcs in a 3121 02:21:18,910 --> 02:21:16,460 elation right or who built the pyramids 3122 02:21:20,530 --> 02:21:18,920 we can't figure that out well if it's 3123 02:21:24,190 --> 02:21:20,540 just something that's created in a 3124 02:21:25,990 --> 02:21:24,200 simulation right it seems to answer all 3125 02:21:29,080 --> 02:21:26,000 of those puzzling questions we have 3126 02:21:30,610 --> 02:21:29,090 about ourselves yeah and you know 3127 02:21:32,380 --> 02:21:30,620 there's a chapter in the book about kind 3128 02:21:34,260 --> 02:21:32,390 of this all this unexplained phenomena 3129 02:21:39,490 --> 02:21:34,270 like remote viewing 3130 02:21:42,070 --> 02:21:39,500 Autobody experiences and UFOs and how if 3131 02:21:44,710 --> 02:21:42,080 we're in a simulation this makes sense I 3132 02:21:47,230 --> 02:21:44,720 mean if you think about UFOs right some 3133 02:21:49,740 --> 02:21:47,240 of the puzzling things for scientists 3134 02:21:53,650 --> 02:21:49,750 are there's reports of them just 3135 02:21:55,690 --> 02:21:53,660 materializing out of nowhere right and 3136 02:21:57,850 --> 02:21:55,700 so the question is are they physical or 3137 02:22:00,340 --> 02:21:57,860 are they not how could they just appear 3138 02:22:01,780 --> 02:22:00,350 and then you know in my conversations 3139 02:22:03,850 --> 02:22:01,790 with researchers like like Jacques 3140 02:22:05,860 --> 02:22:03,860 Vallee you know he mentioned that 3141 02:22:08,710 --> 02:22:05,870 sometimes you'll have a case where one 3142 02:22:10,690 --> 02:22:08,720 person sees the UFO and the other person 3143 02:22:14,140 --> 02:22:10,700 doesn't right it's almost like they're 3144 02:22:17,590 --> 02:22:14,150 beaming subjective information well 3145 02:22:19,840 --> 02:22:17,600 turns out in the video game you know you 3146 02:22:21,900 --> 02:22:19,850 and I could are rendering the world in 3147 02:22:25,420 --> 02:22:21,910 our computers or in our own 3148 02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:25,430 consciousness it's very possible to beam 3149 02:22:29,820 --> 02:22:28,010 slightly different information to us so 3150 02:22:32,500 --> 02:22:29,830 that you see the room or the sky 3151 02:22:35,080 --> 02:22:32,510 landscape without the UFO and I see it 3152 02:22:36,640 --> 02:22:35,090 whether UFO there like that's one of the 3153 02:22:40,360 --> 02:22:36,650 only ways you could kind of explain 3154 02:22:44,290 --> 02:22:40,370 these types of things like Bigfoot right 3155 02:22:45,760 --> 02:22:44,300 like Bigfoot right well yeah I mean 3156 02:22:48,219 --> 02:22:45,770 you've got all kinds of different 3157 02:22:51,400 --> 02:22:48,229 Bigfoot now you're into different 3158 02:22:54,300 --> 02:22:51,410 genealogies and lineage and and and you 3159 02:22:57,640 --> 02:22:54,310 know where does it fit in into the the 3160 02:22:59,830 --> 02:22:57,650 anthropological you you really want to 3161 02:23:03,540 --> 02:22:59,840 take it in an in a crazy direction that 3162 02:23:06,700 --> 02:23:03,550 we have a phenomenon like Slenderman 3163 02:23:09,520 --> 02:23:06,710 right and if we're living in a 3164 02:23:13,450 --> 02:23:09,530 simulation that certainly answers a lot 3165 02:23:17,380 --> 02:23:13,460 of questions about Slenderman or ghosts 3166 02:23:20,530 --> 02:23:17,390 or the paranormal or UFO abductions 3167 02:23:23,710 --> 02:23:20,540 right I mean how do they just appear in 3168 02:23:26,730 --> 02:23:23,720 your room and how do you end up going 3169 02:23:30,470 --> 02:23:26,740 through the walls you know into a ship 3170 02:23:33,470 --> 02:23:30,480 if you know we look at those stories and 3171 02:23:36,930 --> 02:23:33,480 you know I look at it as you know 3172 02:23:39,900 --> 02:23:36,940 whatever you believe there should be a 3173 02:23:41,370 --> 02:23:39,910 model that can explain you know how 3174 02:23:42,330 --> 02:23:41,380 something like that could work and that 3175 02:23:44,761 --> 02:23:42,340 you know I'm an engineer by background 3176 02:23:47,520 --> 02:23:44,771 so I like to try to figure out how 3177 02:23:49,830 --> 02:23:47,530 things work and you know the reason you 3178 02:23:51,660 --> 02:23:49,840 know relativity is accepted today is it 3179 02:23:53,250 --> 02:23:51,670 was a better model than classical 3180 02:23:55,320 --> 02:23:53,260 physics for what was actually observed 3181 02:23:58,171 --> 02:23:55,330 so I think if you look at many of these 3182 02:24:01,261 --> 02:23:58,181 areas these fringe areas the simulation 3183 02:24:03,810 --> 02:24:01,271 hypothesis is a better model than you 3184 02:24:07,830 --> 02:24:03,820 know what physicists have been telling 3185 02:24:10,560 --> 02:24:07,840 us as a physical world and so I you know 3186 02:24:12,810 --> 02:24:10,570 it tends to fit if it tends to fit it 3187 02:24:14,610 --> 02:24:12,820 tends to be a useful model and therefore 3188 02:24:15,841 --> 02:24:14,620 I think it's it's a better model and I 3189 02:24:18,060 --> 02:24:15,851 think more and more people are waking up 3190 02:24:21,261 --> 02:24:18,070 to it it's still controversial right I 3191 02:24:25,640 --> 02:24:21,271 mean to a point but you're able to now 3192 02:24:29,551 --> 02:24:25,650 you can walk around the halls of MIT and 3193 02:24:32,881 --> 02:24:29,561 and have these ideas about ET or the 3194 02:24:34,921 --> 02:24:32,891 paranormal Riz but just wrap it right 3195 02:24:36,720 --> 02:24:34,931 into the simulation hypothesis and 3196 02:24:44,970 --> 02:24:36,730 quantum mechanics and you're in a safe 3197 02:24:47,730 --> 02:24:44,980 zone with people at MIT assuming the 3198 02:24:49,230 --> 02:24:47,740 simulation hypothesis where is you know 3199 02:24:51,330 --> 02:24:49,240 if we weren't assuming the simulation 3200 02:24:52,381 --> 02:24:51,340 hypothesis people there wouldn't 3201 02:24:54,511 --> 02:24:52,391 necessarily take that conversation 3202 02:24:58,261 --> 02:24:54,521 seriously they take it much more 3203 02:25:01,350 --> 02:24:58,271 seriously as part of a computational 3204 02:25:03,140 --> 02:25:01,360 based model of how the world works you 3205 02:25:06,120 --> 02:25:03,150 know and I'm one of the few people who 3206 02:25:07,950 --> 02:25:06,130 has experimented with and talked about 3207 02:25:09,660 --> 02:25:07,960 this stuff and we did shamanic 3208 02:25:15,750 --> 02:25:09,670 journeying at the MIT Media Lab you know 3209 02:25:18,291 --> 02:25:15,760 last year which is so that's why you 3210 02:25:20,421 --> 02:25:18,301 wrote the book 3211 02:25:22,310 --> 02:25:20,431 yeah because I mean I spend you know 3212 02:25:24,501 --> 02:25:22,320 part of my time with people in in the 3213 02:25:26,060 --> 02:25:24,511 technological world in the scientific 3214 02:25:28,310 --> 02:25:26,070 world in the video game world and part 3215 02:25:30,770 --> 02:25:28,320 of my time you know with people in kind 3216 02:25:32,751 --> 02:25:30,780 of these more these other areas and so 3217 02:25:35,241 --> 02:25:32,761 this gives me the opportunity to be able 3218 02:25:37,070 --> 02:25:35,251 to talk to all people at all sides so 3219 02:25:40,671 --> 02:25:37,080 wait a minute you did a shaman workshop 3220 02:25:42,831 --> 02:25:40,681 at MIT were you guys smoking DMT no we 3221 02:25:45,711 --> 02:25:42,841 didn't use any pee or any drugs it was 3222 02:25:47,180 --> 02:25:45,721 just using shamanic drumming it was it 3223 02:25:50,661 --> 02:25:47,190 was Kouchner and stress relief for 3224 02:25:52,911 --> 02:25:50,671 entrepreneurs and so it was it was one 3225 02:25:54,770 --> 02:25:52,921 method you know meditation now and 3226 02:25:56,421 --> 02:25:54,780 mindfulness is accepted pretty much at 3227 02:25:59,150 --> 02:25:56,431 MIT and other places as well so this was 3228 02:26:01,280 --> 02:25:59,160 yet another way to try to relax people 3229 02:26:03,801 --> 02:26:01,290 that were stressed out an amazing 3230 02:26:09,381 --> 02:26:03,811 conversation tonight rizz and now the 3231 02:26:12,530 --> 02:26:09,391 book comes out the 31st in a week and a 3232 02:26:14,930 --> 02:26:12,540 half in a week I mean it's a elbow on 3233 02:26:16,791 --> 02:26:14,940 Amazon to pre-order and it'll be out in 3234 02:26:18,770 --> 02:26:16,801 a week and a half all right on the 20th 3235 02:26:22,640 --> 02:26:18,780 anniversary of the matrix release a much 3236 02:26:25,581 --> 02:26:22,650 success the book is amazing I've read it 3237 02:26:28,791 --> 02:26:25,591 and I highly highly highly recommend the 3238 02:26:31,791 --> 02:26:28,801 book and one of the cool things for me 3239 02:26:34,730 --> 02:26:31,801 about the book is that you do take each 3240 02:26:37,820 --> 02:26:34,740 one of these approaches to the 3241 02:26:41,600 --> 02:26:37,830 simulation hypothesis which is video 3242 02:26:44,841 --> 02:26:41,610 gaming computers science physics and of 3243 02:26:46,820 --> 02:26:44,851 course religion and mythology and you 3244 02:26:49,041 --> 02:26:46,830 take each one of those approaches and 3245 02:26:52,701 --> 02:26:49,051 you break it down comprehensively it's 3246 02:26:55,070 --> 02:26:52,711 really well done thank you yeah I really 3247 02:26:57,951 --> 02:26:55,080 wanted to explore each of these areas 3248 02:26:59,331 --> 02:26:57,961 and kind of you know show how you know 3249 02:27:01,940 --> 02:26:59,341 there are very few models that can 3250 02:27:04,341 --> 02:27:01,950 explain all of these things and it's one 3251 02:27:06,741 --> 02:27:04,351 of the few kid that can do that and you 3252 02:27:09,411 --> 02:27:06,751 know Einstein once said science without 3253 02:27:10,820 --> 02:27:09,421 religion is lame and religion without 3254 02:27:13,551 --> 02:27:10,830 science is blind or maybe it was the 3255 02:27:16,100 --> 02:27:13,561 other way around right but you know it 3256 02:27:19,310 --> 02:27:16,110 used to be OK for scientists to talk 3257 02:27:22,430 --> 02:27:19,320 about religion and somehow you know we 3258 02:27:25,100 --> 02:27:22,440 in 500 years we've gone from the church 3259 02:27:26,631 --> 02:27:25,110 suppressing science to now scientists in 3260 02:27:28,640 --> 02:27:26,641 a way suppressing religion are not 3261 02:27:31,190 --> 02:27:28,650 taking it seriously and the simulation 3262 02:27:31,820 --> 02:27:31,200 hypothesis is a key that unlocks the 3263 02:27:33,889 --> 02:27:31,830 door 3264 02:27:36,110 --> 02:27:33,899 to the mysteries of the universe and 3265 02:27:38,420 --> 02:27:36,120 makes it so that we can talk about you 3266 02:27:41,780

can wrap 3391 02:33:55,940 --> 02:33:54,390 my head around me simulating my own life 3392 02:33:57,920 --> 02:33:55,950 I can wrap my head around that my 3393 02:34:01,130 --> 02:33:57,930 husband I call as my husband worked on 3394 02:34:04,160 --> 02:34:01,140 June 3 worked in video games his whole 3395 02:34:06,950 --> 02:34:04,170 life right oh he did he worked on doom 3 3396 02:34:09,969 --> 02:34:06,960 was that arena was it or is that quite 3397 02:34:14,150 --> 02:34:09,979 quake was arena what was Doom 3 called 3398 02:34:17,030 --> 02:34:14,160 or was it just doom 3 I played it I just 3399 02:34:22,910 --> 02:34:17,040 don't remember it but the title was but 3400 02:34:23,450 --> 02:34:22,920 so what did he do for the game sandy are 3401 02:34:30,230 --> 02:34:23,460 you there

let's keep the phone's 3405 02:34:42,590 --> 02:34:39,810 going and seven four seven two two eight 3406 02:34:45,770 --> 02:34:42,600 two zero five one hi you're live on fade 3407 02:34:48,290 --> 02:34:45,780 to black who's calling good gymnast like 3408 02:34:58,760 --> 02:34:48,300 in Montana hi mica Montana how you doing 3409 02:35:00,679 --> 02:34:58,770 man good no he's gone what's that he's 3410 02:35:03,920 --> 02:35:00,689 pretty scary good because everything he 3411 02:35:05,480 --> 02:35:03,930 said pretty much a possibility at some 3412 02:35:10,700 --> 02:35:05,490 point in time we're going to be faced 3413 02:35:12,620 --> 02:35:10,710 with I don't know if the reality of what 3414 02:35:16,040 --> 02:35:12,630 we're really in like a matrix 3415 02:35:17,510 --> 02:35:16,050 system or whatever but mm-hmm it it 3416 02:35:21,229 --> 02:35:17,520 makes a lot of sense 3417 02:35:24,559 --> 02:35:21,239 are you or are you okay with it you know 3418 02:35:25,070 --> 02:35:24,569 if it was revealed tomorrow that that's 3419 02:35:27,979 --> 02:35:25,080 it 3420 02:35:30,530 --> 02:35:27,989 we're just NPCs right we're just players 3421 02:35:32,410 --> 02:35:30,540 in a game are you okay with it I mean 3422 02:35:37,070 --> 02:35:32,420 what does it change 3423 02:35:39,439 --> 02:35:37,080 well I have to say this I I did at one 3424 02:35:41,719 --> 02:35:39,449 point my wife when I was very little six 3425 02:35:45,559 --> 02:35:41,729 I drowned and I experienced something I 3426 02:35:47,210 --> 02:35:45,569 can't explain lot of people I didn't 3427 02:35:50,229 --> 02:35:47,220 know anything about phenomenon or 3428 02:35:53,780 --> 02:35:50,239 anything and what I saw really really 3429 02:35:55,820 --> 02:35:53,790 amazed me I'll just put it that way and 3430 02:35:59,870 --> 02:35:55,830 kind of kept me on the straight and 3431 02:36:03,649 --> 02:35:59,880 narrow food how's noise but if this is a 3432 02:36:05,929 --> 02:36:03,659 simulation what are for the volunteers 3433 02:36:08,660 --> 02:36:05,939 were for the ones that volunteer to be 3434 02:36:13,490 --> 02:36:08,670 here to do this to experience this in 3435 02:36:16,519 --> 02:36:13,500 some way and then in reality we never 3436 02:36:18,559 --> 02:36:16,529 really truly died maybe we we just go on 3437 02:36:21,469 --> 02:36:18,569 this is the entertainment and I almost 3438 02:36:24,170 --> 02:36:21,479 signed up for a 50-year run over said 3439 02:36:26,899 --> 02:36:24,180 new year run on the virtual reality 3440 02:36:29,269 --> 02:36:26,909 thing and to them it's you know twenty 3441 02:36:32,929 --> 02:36:29,279 thirty thousand year things who knows 3442 02:36:36,170 --> 02:36:32,939 maybe we are those beings it kind of 3443 02:36:39,740 --> 02:36:36,180 worries me that from what I seen is 3444 02:36:45,609 --> 02:36:39,750 maybe what I saw when I drowned wasn't a 3445 02:36:48,439 --> 02:36:45,619 part of that simulation and if it was he 3446 02:36:51,559 --> 02:36:48,449 changes everything I think about life 3447 02:36:55,399 --> 02:36:51,569 yeah yeah you raised some really good 3448 02:37:00,530 --> 02:36:55,409 points Mike and when you have somebody 3449 02:37:02,630 --> 02:37:00,540 like rizz look I have been studying this 3450 02:37:07,179 --> 02:37:02,640 for a while and one of the things that 3451 02:37:13,960 --> 02:37:07,189 you can do which is really fun to do is 3452 02:37:17,240 --> 02:37:13,970 you can go onto YouTube and punch in 3453 02:37:21,920 --> 02:37:17,250 simulation hypothesis and start to look 3454 02:37:24,439 --> 02:37:21,930 at different debates and presentations 3455 02:37:25,541 --> 02:37:24,449 from scientists from physicists all 3456 02:37:28,991 --> 02:37:25,551 around the world 3457 02:37:32,770 --> 02:37:29,001 where they are seriously looking into 3458 02:37:36,551 --> 02:37:32,780 this and they have the reasons why it is 3459 02:37:38,650 --> 02:37:36,561 a real possibility so I would suggest 3460 02:37:41,261 --> 02:37:38,660 anybody listening to this show right now 3461 02:37:43,001 --> 02:37:41,271 after you know first you know go and get 3462 02:37:45,761 --> 02:37:43,011 Riza's book and mike i want to thank you 3463 02:37:48,461 --> 02:37:45,771 for the phone call is go yeah thank you 3464 02:37:50,650 --> 02:37:48,471 and get Riza's book that's the first 3465 02:37:54,220 --> 02:37:50,660 thing in second just go and start to 3466 02:37:55,991 --> 02:37:54,230 look at the different scientists around 3467 02:37:59,890 --> 02:37:56,001 the world that discussed this it's it's 3468 02:38:02,530 --> 02:37:59,900 amazing and it's it's when you when you 3469 02:38:05,591 --> 02:38:02,540 when you hear people debate this or talk 3470 02:38:07,211 --> 02:38:05,601 about this or or present their ideas 3471 02:38:09,791 --> 02:38:07,221 about this inside of our community 3472 02:38:11,980 --> 02:38:09,801 that's one thing and then go and see 3473 02:38:14,411 --> 02:38:11,990 what others are suggesting here it's 3474 02:38:17,501 --> 02:38:14,421 powerful the material out there is 3475 02:38:18,701 --> 02:38:17,511 strong let's go back to the phones hi 3476 02:38:22,030 --> 02:38:18,711 you're live on fade to black who's 3477 02:38:23,650 --> 02:38:22,040 calling hey Jimmy it's Angela I thought 3478 02:38:26,980 --> 02:38:23,660 it was you I wanted to make sure all 3479 02:38:31,301 --> 02:38:26,990 right sandy what did he do for the video 3480 02:38:34,900 --> 02:38:31,311 game Doom doom three he's a 3d computer 3481 02:38:37,091 --> 02:38:34,910 animator and what does he think about us 3482 02:38:40,780 --> 02:38:37,101 living in a simulation because he's 3483 02:38:45,761 --> 02:38:40,790 creating him himself oh he's there yeah 3484 02:38:48,791 --> 02:38:45,771 he definitely thinks that there is some 3485 02:38:51,911 --> 02:38:48,801 kind of man behind the curtain whether 3486 02:38:56,831 --> 02:38:51,921 it's our own or something but we also 3487 02:39:02,350 --> 02:38:56,841 are very on when we walk with Jesus and 3488 02:39:07,331 --> 02:39:02,360 so we have that also what okay okay I 3489 02:39:10,600 --> 02:39:07,341 was actually going to go there what does 3490 02:39:14,051 --> 02:39:10,610 this do with God I mean how does God 3491 02:39:15,730 --> 02:39:14,061 come into play now what we always say 3492 02:39:19,390 --> 02:39:15,740 when we have discussions about anything 3493 02:39:22,150 --> 02:39:19,400 that's controversial or whatever debate 3494 02:39:24,280 --> 02:39:22,160 you know we always go back to no matter 3495 02:39:26,350 --> 02:39:24,290 what anyone believes there's a creator 3496 02:39:30,030 --> 02:39:26,360 of it all and we believe it's Jesus and 3497 02:39:34,871 --> 02:39:30,040 that's kind of where we leave it that's 3498 02:39:37,600 --> 02:39:34,881 okay is so you know all the greatness 3499 02:39:40,000 --> 02:39:37,610 and the quantum physics and the genius 3500 02:39:42,099 --> 02:39:40,010 and the ideas behind it 3501 02:39:49,239 --> 02:39:42,109 there it came from somewhere to begin 3502 02:39:51,880 --> 02:39:49,249 with the question of faith is a weird 3503 02:39:54,580 --> 02:39:51,890 thing to mix when you're dealing with 3504 02:39:59,529 --> 02:39:54,590 ones and zeroes and writing code and 3505 02:40:01,120 --> 02:39:59,539 creating 3d environments it is but he 3506 02:40:01,689 --> 02:40:01,130 created the people who are writing the 3507 02:40:06,210 --> 02:40:01,699 code 3508 02:40:09,069 --> 02:40:06,220 I believe if okay so let's let's let's 3509 02:40:10,929 --> 02:40:09,079 go into a simulation and the reason that 3510 02:40:13,000 --> 02:40:10,939 we don't die is one thing I subscribe to 3511 02:40:16,510 --> 02:40:13,010 because we do have to cut we do have to 3512 02:40:18,429 --> 02:40:16,520 continue to grow and learn and now when 3513 02:40:20,620 --> 02:40:18,439 you talk about the parallel universes 3514 02:40:22,840 --> 02:40:20,630 can't those be two other dimensions and 3515 02:40:25,660 --> 02:40:22,850 can they exist I believe they can and I 3516 02:40:27,489 --> 02:40:25,670 believe he created them as well okay so 3517 02:40:30,790 --> 02:40:27,499 let's let's bet let's back up a couple 3518 02:40:36,010 --> 02:40:30,800 of steps not not in his conversation but 3519 02:40:40,120 --> 02:40:36,020 in our timeline okay if we are dealing 3520 02:40:42,700 --> 02:40:40,130 with an artificial reality we're living 3521 02:40:45,219 --> 02:40:42,710 in a simulation that this is created and 3522 02:40:48,819 --> 02:40:45,229 and we're just role players right okay 3523 02:40:53,439 --> 02:40:48,829 then somebody had to write and create 3524 02:40:55,630 --> 02:40:53,449 said code and environment so if we back 3525 02:40:57,519 --> 02:40:55,640 up further than that somebody has to 3526 02:41:00,279 --> 02:40:57,529 come up with the idea and present the 3527 02:41:05,229 --> 02:41:00,289 project to all of the engineers of go 3528 02:41:08,200 --> 02:41:05,239 right right is that God is that who you 3529 02:41:10,779 --> 02:41:08,210 are saying that God is just me I am oh 3530 02:41:12,849 --> 02:41:10,789 you know I don't push it on anyone but 3531 02:41:15,010 --> 02:41:12,859 that's how I want because I push it all 3532 02:41:17,229 --> 02:41:15,020 back to him no matter when I start to go 3533 02:41:19,750 --> 02:41:17,239 oh my gosh you know then I just go well 3534 02:41:21,279 --> 02:41:19,760 you have a plan if I'm simulated and I'm 3535 02:41:22,840 --> 02:41:21,289 simulated and you know what if I am 3536 02:41:25,319 --> 02:41:22,850 simulated then I can wrap my head around 3537 02:41:28,750 --> 02:41:25,329 that then I'm gonna try and make my 3538 02:41:30,399 --> 02:41:28,760 simulation better for myself because why 3539 02:41:33,090 --> 02:41:30,409 would we want to live in such a misery 3540 02:41:35,739 --> 02:41:33,100 or we all seem to be so damn miserable 3541 02:41:38,769 --> 02:41:35,749 and that's part of the simulation right 3542 02:41:42,580 --> 02:41:38,779 that's ridiculous then if that's the 3543 02:41:44,559 --> 02:41:42,590 fact that's a sad thing to be simulating 3544 02:41:50,529 --> 02:41:44,569 all of us and all of us to have the same 3545 02:41:53,260 --> 02:41:50,539 kind of simulation well okay in that one 3546 02:41:53,889 --> 02:41:53,270 thing with all the things you don't even 3547 02:41:55,059 --> 02:41:53,899 need 3548 02:41:56,469 --> 02:41:55,069 because you just

first-time caller 3624 02:45:56,450 --> 02:45:53,819 longtime listener it's kind of slightly 3625 02:45:58,940 --> 02:45:56,460 off topic but hopefully on topic any 3626 02:46:03,260 --> 02:45:58,950 chance you guys are gonna get you know 3627 02:46:05,010 --> 02:46:03,270 maybe Tom DeLonge back on the show well 3628 02:46:07,541 --> 02:46:05,020 I mean is it 3629 02:46:09,551 --> 02:46:07,551 [Laughter] 3630 02:46:17,801 --> 02:46:09,561 do you now many times a day I get that 3631 02:46:21,011 --> 02:46:17,811 question Chris no it's a lot look Tom I 3632 02:46:25,110 --> 02:46:21,021 think tom is a really cool dude and I 3633 02:46:30,490 --> 02:46:25,120 know that he's a fan of the show 3634 02:46:32,440 --> 02:46:30,500 but he also knows that and I would never 3635 02:46:36,910 --> 02:46:32,450 be you know rude or anything like that 3636 02:46:39,791 --> 02:46:36,920 to him but he knows that I've got a long 3637 02:46:45,100 --> 02:46:39,801 list of questions that I want answered 3638 02:46:47,410 --> 02:46:45,110 and I don't think that right now he I 3639 02:46:48,370 --> 02:46:47,420 mean because we could come on he could 3640 02:46:50,470 --> 02:46:48,380 come on the show we could have a 3641 02:46:52,001 --> 02:46:50,480 wonderful conversation we can talk about 3642 02:46:54,131 --> 02:46:52,011 all things TSA and everything that 3643 02:46:58,360 --> 02:46:54,141 they're working on but to get to that 3644 02:47:01,060 --> 02:46:58,370 part of the show first he's got to stand 3645 02:47:05,440 --> 02:47:01,070 up and answer a list of questions of 3646 02:47:08,711 --> 02:47:05,450 which Chris I did email him I emailed 3647 02:47:11,820 --> 02:47:08,721 him ten questions that I want to get to 3648 02:47:14,950 --> 02:47:11,830 the bottom of and none of them have been 3649 02:47:17,921 --> 02:47:14,960 addressed either publicly or privately 3650 02:47:21,791 --> 02:47:17,931 and there you go so I don't think he's 3651 02:47:24,220 --> 02:47:21,801 prepared to go and do that and things 3652 02:47:28,171 --> 02:47:24,230 like the longer he waits you know that 3653 02:47:35,230 --> 02:47:32,770 yeah that that's certainly reality 3654 02:47:39,910 --> 02:47:35,240 that's not a possibility I think that 3655 02:47:43,751 --> 02:47:39,920 that is a reality but my my list of 10 3656 02:47:46,450 --> 02:47:43,761 questions is is actually pretty old now 3657 02:47:50,171 --> 02:47:46,460 if I went back and modified that it 3658 02:47:52,900 --> 02:47:50,181 would probably be 50 questions because a 3659 02:47:56,051 --> 02:47:52,910 lot of stuff has a lot of stuff as as 3660 02:47:58,900 --> 02:47:56,061 has happened over the last year but the 3661 02:48:00,791 --> 02:47:58,910 one thing that I'm thankful for and I 3662 02:48:02,350 --> 02:48:00,801 know that Tom listens to this show the 3663 02:48:05,261 --> 02:48:02,360 one thing that I'm thankful for is that 3664 02:48:08,520 --> 02:48:05,271 he's out there pushing the UFO question 3665 02:48:12,421 --> 02:48:08,530 further further out into the public and 3666 02:48:16,541 --> 02:48:12,431 one of the things that I really enjoy is 3667 02:48:17,949 --> 02:48:16,551 the music community out there which you 3668 02:48:22,090 --> 02:48:17,959 know you look at 3669 02:48:25,269 --> 02:48:22,100 a band like blink 182 or you look at the 3670 02:48:30,760

tapping into and I fully fully 3676 02:48:47,559 --> 02:48:44,779 appreciate that 3677 02:48:50,199 --> 02:48:47,569 you know his fans have known that he's 3678 02:48:52,750 --> 02:48:50,209 been into UFOs for a very long time his 3679 02:48:54,340 --> 02:48:52,760 band members talk about it and have 3680 02:48:57,309 --> 02:48:54,350 talked about it in the past and that's 3681 02:48:59,710 --> 02:48:57,319 what I'm appreciative of what I what I 3682 02:49:01,929 --> 02:48:59,720 don't like are the mistakes you know 3683 02:49:05,559 --> 02:49:01,939 that's that's the port that that I don't

02:52:18,869 --> 02:52:16,600 handle the real truth we need to handle 3748 02:52:21,359 --> 02:52:18,879 it this way we're gonna discuss it in 3749 02:52:23,429 --> 02:52:21,369 this fashion you know we can't do too 3750 02:52:25,529 --> 02:52:23,439 many things we'll get upset and we'll 3751 02:52:27,869 --> 02:52:25,539 expose this person of this person or 3752 02:52:30,119 --> 02:52:27,879 this organization and this is gonna 3753 02:52:33,149 --> 02:52:30,129 happen with society you know what screw 3754 02:52:37,909 --> 02:52:33,159 all that screw it if you are in 3755 02:52:44,490 --> 02:52:37,919 possession with the real stuff bring it 3756 02:52:47,910 --> 02:52:44,500 bring it if I had it if I had the 3757 02:52:54,120 --> 02:52:47,920 had some top-secret stuff I'm yappin I'm 3758 02:52:56,910 --> 02:52:54,130 yapping oh yeah yeah yeah so so what I I 3759 02:52:58,800 --> 02:52:56,920 mean I mean career captain or something 3760 02:53:01,080 --> 02:52:58,810 I mean I've tried and see by protocol 3761 02:53:05,010 --> 02:53:01,090 and it works I I couldn't believe what I 3762 02:53:07,680 --> 02:53:05,020 was seeing and it's just go show you I 3763 02:53:09,390 --> 02:53:07,690 mean obviously he was I don't know that 3764 02:53:11,670 --> 02:53:09,400 the back story about it and he somehow 3765 02:53:13,260 --> 02:53:11,680 communicating with et and they went over 3766 02:53:15,810 --> 02:53:13,270 this protocol developed it together but 3767 02:53:18,450 --> 02:53:15,820 who knows where that came from but it 3768 02:53:23,160 --> 02:53:18,460 his method works I've tried I mean a 3769 02:53:25,140 --> 02:53:23,170 half full of times and it's just it's 3770 02:53:26,130 --> 02:53:25,150 just crazy what's out there and they 3771 02:53:28,820 --> 02:53:26,140 really just need to bring it to the 3772 02:53:33,750 --> 02:53:28,830 forefront yeah Chris there's the ce-5 3773 02:53:39,170 --> 02:53:33,760 protocol which I've done with with 3774 02:53:42,450 --> 02:53:39,180 Costas McRae as' and and his wife the I 3775 02:53:44,670 --> 02:53:42,460 think this is this is my take all right 3776 02:53:46,620 --> 02:53:44,680 this is just my own personal experience 3777 02:53:48,630 --> 02:53:46,630 that there is something going on with 3778 02:53:52,050 --> 02:53:48,640 that at a consciousness level there's 3779 02:53:55,350 --> 02:53:52,060 something going on within the ether and 3780 02:53:58,530 --> 02:53:55,360 you're letting something out there know 3781 02:54:01,140 --> 02:53:58,540 that you want contact and it Expo where 3782 02:54:03,480 --> 02:54:01,150 it's et or something interdimensional 3783 02:54:06,150 --> 02:54:03,490 it's us from the future I don't know 3784 02:54:10,020 --> 02:54:06,160 what it is but certainly the s appear 3785 02:54:13,290 --> 02:54:10,030 and I I don't think you necessarily need 3786 02:54:16,680 --> 02:54:13,300 to in fact I know you don't 3787 02:54:20,400 --> 02:54:16,690 to follow the ce-5 protocols by the book 3788 02:54:23,310 --> 02:54:20,410 you know and do a Sarah no no all you 3789 02:54:25,920 --> 02:54:23,320 got to do is show the intent because I 3790 02:54:32,400 --> 02:54:25,930 go out there and trust me I am the 3791 02:54:35,940 --> 02:54:32,410 opposite of ce-5 I'm loud I ask anybody 3792 02:54:39,690 --> 02:54:35,950 that's done it with me right it's just 3793 02:54:41,730 --> 02:54:39,700 about being happy open-minded and and 3794 02:54:44,220 --> 02:54:41,740 wanting something to happen and I'm 3795 02:54:46,470 --> 02:54:44,230 telling you man I've been out there with 3796 02:54:50,100 --> 02:54:46,480 a couple of hundred people and we've lit 3797 02:54:52,350 --> 02:54:50,110 up the skies and and I can be I could go 3798 02:54:55,920 --> 02:54:52,360 out in my backyard here in Burbank and 3799 02:54:58,200 --> 02:54:55,930 look up and see nothing nothing but in 3800 02:55:00,809 --> 02:54:58,210 the same sky 3801 02:55:03,269 --> 02:55:00,819 d miles away and and going out is the 3802 02:55:05,700 --> 02:55:03,279 same stars it's the same it's the same 3803 02:55:08,040 --> 02:55:05,710 stuff and and suddenly we're lighting up 3804 02:55:10,769 --> 02:55:08,050 the skies with craziness I can't explain 3805 02:55:12,510 --> 02:55:10,779 that but I think it's about intent and 3806 02:55:14,309 --> 02:55:12,520 just letting them know that you're cool 3807 02:55:16,740 --> 02:55:14,319 and that you that you're here to have 3808 02:55:20,189 --> 02:55:16,750 some fun you know and that's that's my I 3809 02:55:22,410 --> 02:55:20,199 totally agree I mean chills I mean you 3810 02:55:25,050 --> 02:55:22,420 probably familiar with it somewhat 3811 02:55:26,910 --> 02:55:25,060 definitely populated and I've done it in 3812 02:55:29,610 --> 02:55:26,920 the neighborhood and you know things 3813 02:55:31,019 --> 02:55:29,620 appeared and I guess you know for 3814 02:55:33,570 --> 02:55:31,029 whatever reason they found it was okay 3815 02:55:35,490 --> 02:55:33,580 to do so but I did notice an increase in 3816 02:55:39,179 --> 02:55:35,500 helicopter activity that weeks following 3817 02:55:41,130 --> 02:55:39,189 that very very connection or there just 3818 02:55:42,510 --> 02:55:41,140 kind of kind of odd coincidence right 3819 02:55:43,469 --> 02:55:42,520 there man I've got my night-vision 3820

3837 02:56:35,490 --> 02:56:33,489 wind down here I do want to thank rizz 3838 02:56:39,240 --> 02:56:35,500 Burke for an amazing conversation 3839 02:56:43,559 --> 02:56:39,250 tonight when it comes to the simulation 3840 02:56:46,229 --> 02:56:43,569 hypothesis I left something out and we 3841 02:56:50,519 --> 02:56:46,239 didn't go there tonight and I don't know 3842 02:56:53,150 --> 02:56:50,529 why we didn't it kept popping in and 3843 02:56:57,719 --> 02:56:53,160 that is Tron 3844 02:57:00,660 --> 02:56:57,729 okay Tron especially the part two and 3845 02:57:04,950 --> 02:57:00,670 the remake were were pretty cool but the 3846 02:57:08,580 --> 02:57:04,960 original Tron now what a futuristic look 3847 02:57:10,910 --> 02:57:08,590 that was into the simulation hypothesis 3848 02:57:13,160 --> 02:57:10,920 right think about that for a second 3849 02:57:16,520 --> 02:57:13,170 but the movie Tron was something else 3850 02:57:17,480 --> 02:57:16,530 like the matrix where I watched it over 3851 02:57:21,050 --> 02:57:17,490 and over again 3852 02:57:24,650 --> 02:57:21,060 I had the videotape for Tron and I went 3853 02:57:28,310 --> 02:57:24,660 through a couple of months where I 3854 02:57:32,210 --> 02:57:28,320 watched that nearly every single day and 3855 02:57:35,120 --> 02:57:32,220 this was in the 80s got my first VCR got 3856 02:57:38,870 --> 02:57:35,130 a copy of Tron and I watched it over and 3857 02:57:41,179 --> 02:57:38,880 over again and I started to ask some of 3858 02:57:46,429 --> 02:57:41,189 those fundamental questions in watching 3859 02:57:49,070 --> 02:57:46,439 Tron and that would I do it I thought it 3860 02:57:53,000 --> 02:57:49,080 was pretty exciting right the the 3861 02:57:56,810 --> 02:57:53,010 possibility of living like that on a 3862 02:58:01,190 --> 02:57:56,820 motherboard in the chipset with other 3863 02:58:03,679 --> 02:58:01,200 computer programs right and that was 3864 02:58:06,590 --> 02:58:03,689 like the precursor for the matrix and 3865 02:58:10,580 --> 02:58:06,600 the simulation hypothesis if you think 3866 02:58:14,719 --> 02:58:10,590 about it and it started for me a path 3867 02:58:17,690 --> 02:58:14,729 down a road that I'm actually very 3868 02:58:19,880 --> 02:58:17,700 comfortable with it would you know the 3869 02:58:24,890 --> 02:58:19,890 difference if you were living do you 3870 02:58:28,040 --> 02:58:24,900 remember the first time that what's the 3871 02:58:29,870 --> 02:58:28,050 name Floyd where he shows up and he's 3872 02:58:32,870 --> 02:58:29,880 looking at his hands and he's wondering 3873 02:58:35,000 --> 02:58:32,880 he's looking around he was okay with it 3874 02:58:38,270 --> 02:58:35,010 what what did it change in his life 3875 02:58:40,310 --> 02:58:38,280 right but it takes out the other the 3876 02:58:44,530 --> 02:58:40,320 other questions those questions of 3877 02:58:48,980 --> 02:58:44,540 disease all right you know getting sick 3878 02:58:50,870 --> 02:58:48,990 sleep certainly mortality all of that 3879 02:58:52,940 --> 02:58:50,880 comes into play what a great 3880 02:58:55,600 --> 02:58:52,950 conversation tonight thank you Risberg 3881 02:58:57,830 --> 02:58:55,610 the book is called the simulation 3882 02:59:01,370 --> 02:58:57,840 hypothesis all you have to do is go to 3883 02:59:04,640
