00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:23,519 there in sherman oaks we had a really 339 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:25,680 nice movie theater right there and 340 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:29,440 and uh right so that's it you know i was 341 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:32,320 always looking and and sometimes uh you 342 00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:34,240 know i plan for things a month or two in 343 00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:36,079 advance because you know something big 344 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:38,720 was coming out and the matrix snuck up 345 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,160 on me 346 00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:43,360 and i had gotten out like the la weekly 347 00:14:48,069 --> 00:14:45,199 and uh 348 00:14:50,470 --> 00:14:48,079 and i see this review for this movie 349 00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:50,480 called the matrix and it was like the 350 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:52,000 day before 351 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:53,920 it started playing at the local theater 352 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:55,440 across the street 353 00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:56,480 and 354 00:15:01,269 --> 00:14:58,000 although at the time i didn't fully 355 00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:01,279 grasp what the review was trying to say 356 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:03,760 about the film and i'm pretty sure 357 00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:05,600 that the reviewer 358 00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:07,360 at the time didn't really understand 359 00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:09,600 what the film was about anyway right but 360 00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:10,720 i knew 361 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:12,240 i could tell that it was something that 362 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:14,320 i wanted to see special effects and 363 00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:17,279 keanu reeves in the future and 364 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:19,199 and there was probably some mention of 365 00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:21,519 alternate reality and and you know it 366 00:15:24,949 --> 00:15:22,959 was supposed to be so high-tech and 367 00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:24,959 well-produced and i was like okay all 368 00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:25,760 right 369 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,800 and then it's playing like the next day 370 00:15:32,790 --> 00:15:30,720 so i go 371 00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:32,800 and and watch it 372 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:37,279 and i remember very vividly 373 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:41,519 that i left the theater impressed 374 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:43,519 but i was impressed about the special 375 00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:44,800 effects 376 00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:48,000 mostly right and 377 00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:50,000 the other thing because i'm such a film 378 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:51,199 guy 379 00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:53,440 was i i was very impressed that i 380 00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:55,360 couldn't figure out what the movie was 381 00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:56,320 about 382 00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:58,240 right 383 00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:01,040 i was like that is it that was deep 384 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:03,519 and i didn't understand why 385 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:05,759 i couldn't figure out the meaning of the 386 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:07,040 film 387 00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:09,519 i knew it was much deeper than you know 388 00:16:14,069 --> 00:16:12,000 like neo-dodging bullets you know and 389 00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,079 slo-mo you know and all of that stuff 390 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:16,000 but there was something else there so i 391 00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:18,240 went back that week two or three times 392 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:20,000 to see it again 393 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:23,680 and each time i took different friends 394 00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:25,360 and i had to do that because you can't 395 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:27,360 take the same friend to the same movie 396 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,720 over and over and over again and 397 00:16:33,269 --> 00:16:30,880 nobody's going to want to do that so 398 00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:33,279 i invited other friends and and told 399 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:34,399 them i was going to go see the movie 400 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:38,720 again and i did and slowly i got it 401 00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:39,759 and 402 00:16:49,829 --> 00:16:46,399 speak for everybody out there but i 403 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:49,839 didn't get the film i didn't get it 404 00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:52,320 i mean i would i knew i enjoyed the 405 00:16:57,030 --> 00:16:54,480 story and i enjoyed the action and the 406 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:57,040 special effects but i was trying to get 407 00:17:00,790 --> 00:16:58,880 to the meaning of the film you see 408 00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:00,800 here's the thing 409 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:03,759 through that whole period of the 90s 410 00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:06,400 i was really into gaming i still am i 411 00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:08,799 just don't have

really into gaming 424 00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:40,720 and this is this is the trip with 425 00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:43,440 serious gaming and if you have 426 00:17:48,789 --> 00:17:46,000 gamed you know exactly what i'm talking 427 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:48,799 about if you haven't gamed 428 00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:51,280 this may sound a little bit strange 429 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:52,080 but 430 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:54,480 the more that you play 431 00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:57,280 you find that when you have to go out 432 00:18:02,710 --> 00:17:59,679 into the real world 433 00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:02,720 you find that you're still in the game 434 00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:06,160 you do you you it it takes 435 00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:08,400 it takes a while for your brain to 436 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:10,559 adjust it's a really trippy thing to go 437 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:12,880 through and all gamers do it 438 00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:15,440 you know if you if you go through a 439 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,039 six-hour run 440 00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:18,960 and you've got to leave to go get food 441 00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:20,880 you got to go leave to go do something 442 00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:22,320 you got to go meet people you got you 443 00:18:26,830 --> 00:18:25,440 know you have to leave the house 444 00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:26,840 you're in the 445 00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:30,160 game it takes a while 446 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:36,630 the adjustment of your brain 447 00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:40,559 is such that you see things in the world 448 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,440 around you that are 449 00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:45,120 relative back to the game that you were 450 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:46,320 playing 451 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,320 and then when you get back home let's 452 00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:52,480 say you get you you adjust you're back 453 00:18:55,909 --> 00:18:54,160 into the real world you're hearing 454 00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:55,919 people talk and you're engaging in 455 00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:58,799 conversation it's all good then you get 456 00:19:01,350 --> 00:19:00,240 back home 457 00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:01,360 and you 458 00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:04,160 fired up your computer right or your 459 00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:06,240 playstation whatever 460 00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:10,160 and you're right back into that world 461 00:19:14,789 --> 00:19:12,559 it's a trippy thing and it's a 462 00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:14,799 comforting thing 463 00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:16,320 when you're gaming 464 00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:18,799 that you get back into it you get back 465 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:20,320 into the world and 466 00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:22,720 and all of the the you know all the 467 00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:24,240 players and all of the things that 468 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:26,080 you're interacting with and the things 469 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:29,039 that you it it's comforting and i 470 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:31,120 understood that 471 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:32,640 i got it 472 00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:35,120 and it was some time later you know when 473 00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:37,440 i started to it was one thing to 474 00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:40,480 understand what the matrix was about 475 00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:42,160 right okay 476 00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:45,360 it's another thing when the realization 477 00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:47,200 of what the matrix 478 00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:49,120 and neo were about 479 00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:52,400 the real subject matter everything 480 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:54,559 changes 481 00:19:58,789 --> 00:19:56,240 it does 482 00:20:02,310 --> 00:19:58,799 there was something going on and it's 483 00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:02,320 not that the matrix was first to cover 484 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:03,360 this 485 00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:05,840 it's it's not about that because we've 486 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:08,240 experienced that in science fiction 487 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:09,600 forever 488 00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:12,559 and and also mythology but 489 00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:13,679 but 490 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:16,000 you know if you think about uh 491 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:17,280 uh 492 00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:18,799 well anyway 493 00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:21,440 before i go two sideways 494 00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:23,600 when i got the realization of what was 495 00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:26,000 happening with the matrix i went out and 496 00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:27,760 i bought when it 497 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:29,679 first was released 498 00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:31,120 uh because at that time there was a 499 00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:34,799 tower records at literally uh across my 500 00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:37,440 driveway from my house in sherman oaks 501 00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:39,360 tower video 502 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:41,679 i got the dvd 503 00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:43,760 right with all the bonus the bonus the 504 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:46,720 making of the matrix the second dvd 505 00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:48,400 and the director's cut and all that 506 00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:49,360 stuff 507 00:20:58,870 --> 00:20:54,080 and i watched it over and over and over 508 00:21:01,270 --> 00:20:58,880 again i went through a matrix insanity 509 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:01,280 not only the whole movie because i would 510 00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:03,039 do that too 511 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:07,280 but i started watching specific scenes 512 00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:09,919 i was understanding the meaning of the 513 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:14,000 matrix and i would transcribe them 514 00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:16,880 i would sit there on my laptop 515 00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:19,440 and watch these scenes over and over 516 00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:22,720 again and i would get the transcription 517 00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:25,440 absolutely word perfect every comma and 518 00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:26,960 period and thing 519 00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:29,120 and and i would study 520 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:32,400 i would absorb the movie by reading my 521 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:34,000 transcription which turned out to be the 522 00:21:38,789 --> 00:21:36,880 script i would read that while the movie 523 00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:38,799 was playing in the background and i just 524 00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:41,919 i got it inside of my head 525 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:46,480 right i literally studied them 526 00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:48,480 and when you go through this type of 527 00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:50,960 immersion into a subject 528 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:54,000 it will consume you and the matrix did 529 00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:55,280 for me 530 00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:58,480 this was when i literally started to ask 531 00:22:01,750 --> 00:21:59,679 questions 532 00:22:03,070 --> 00:22:01,760 about the world around us 533 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:03,080 not about 534 00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:07,120 conspiracies or ufos and time travel 535 00:22:13,909 --> 00:22:11,200 i'm talking about what is reality 536 00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:13,919 that whole red pill blue pill 537 00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:15,440 scene 538 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:17,679 when you break that down and the 539 00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:19,600 implications and the heaviness of that 540 00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:22,480 scene today we understand it we all know 541 00:22:26,390 --> 00:22:24,400 about being red pilled and we know about 542 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:26,400 uh the words that were spoken and we 543 00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:29,039 understand that scene but back then 544 00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:30,480 nobody did 545 00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:33,120 we were absorbing it and we were getting 546 00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:35,679 to the heaviness of what was actually 547 00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:37,919 being presented in the film 548 00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:42,240 right but i got it i got it and and that 549 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:45,440 being uh combined with the gaming that i 550 00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:46,640 was doing 551 00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:49,760 and the reality of what the matrix was 552 00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:51,520 suggesting to us 553 00:22:56,149 --> 00:22:53,440 it changed for me 554 00:22:57,590 --> 00:22:56,159 and at the time because today it's a 555 00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:57,600 different world 556 00:23:01,750 --> 00:22:59,200 at the time 557 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:01,760 i thought i was the only one thinking 558 00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:03,120 like this 559 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:05,039 okay 560 00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:08,320 i i i really did and i was uncomfortable 561 00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:10,799 with discussing these subjects it was a 562 00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:12,080 movie 563 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:15,840 i was uncomfortable with discussing the 564 00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:18,000 heaviness of the matrix with my friends 565 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:20,240 because i didn't want people going dude 566 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:21,520 what 567 00:23:24,549 --> 00:23:22,720 right 568 00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:24,559 it's just a movie man 569 00:23:33,190 --> 00:23:28,480 it's just a movie but in the early 2000s 570 00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:33,200 many started to suggest the same thing 571 00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:35,360 and what happened next 572 00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:37,520 i started to to research this and i 573 00:23:41,029 --> 00:23:39,679 started to research scientific papers 574 00:23:43,990 --> 00:23:41,039 and physicist 575 00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:44,000 and and what the the simulation 576 00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:46,880 hypothesis really was 577 00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:50,000 and it it it started to confirm a lot of 578 00:23:55,029 --> 00:23:52,799 things and here we are today about uh 579 00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:55,039 tonight resverk is with us 580 00:24:00,310 --> 00:23:58,000 and uh probably 581 00:24:02,230 --> 00:24:00,320 three years ago 582 00:24:03,190 --> 00:24:02,240 silicon valley started to flip on its 583 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:03,200 head 584 00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:06,080 and and qubits and 585 00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:08,080 uh quantum computing 586 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:10,320 uh started to become a reality 587 00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:13,520 and when the talk of quantum computing 588 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:15,840 this is where all of this ties together 589 00:24:22,149 --> 00:24:18,960 and it gets really scary the thought of 590 00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:22,159 of quantum computing started to get 591 00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:24,240 around the tech world and we were trying 592 00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:27,039 to understand really what quantum was 593 00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:30,320 and when you go from a 486 chip and you 594 00:24:34,870 --> 00:24:32,799 know and you start to to go through the 595 00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:34,880 different stages of what computers are 596 00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:37,679 processing power 33 megahertz bus speeds 597 00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:39,120 and all of that from the old days and 598 00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:40,799 where we are today 599 00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:43,360 all right and and and quantum computing 600 00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:45,120 comes into the mix we didn't understand 601 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:46,799 it now today we do 602 00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:49,840 silicon valley did understand what 603 00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:53,440 quantum computing and and quantum theory 604 00:24:58,830 --> 00:24:56,320 and quantum mechanics actually means 605 00:25:03,269 --> 00:24:58,840 and then the suggestion started to come 606 00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:03,279 out are we living in a simulation 607 00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:05,360 and then the references going back to 608 00:25:09,430 --> 00:25:06,880 the matrix 609 00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:09,440 are everywhere now it's part of pop 610 00:25:12,870 --> 00:25:10,400 culture 611 00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:12,880 it wasn't always that way 612 00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:16,240 for me it took about two years 613 00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:18,400 of watching the matrix over and over 614 00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:20,400 again and looking at the world around us 615 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:23,120 combined with the reality i was 616 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:24,480 connecting with 617 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,760 uh in in video games 618 00:25:32,149 --> 00:25:29,760 tonight resverk is here 619 00:25:34,390 --> 00:25:32,159 and we are going to uh 620 00:25:36,310 --> 00:25:34,400 go through not only each one of these 621 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,320 but like i said i'm not the only one 622 00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:38,240 talking like this 623 00:25:43,029 --> 00:25:40,559 rizz just released a book 624 00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:43,039 that when you read it it discusses 625 00:25:47,470 --> 00:25:44,960 everything uh 626 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:47,480 of the road that i just traveled since 627 00:25:53,750 -->

00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:31,280 that things are not what they seem man 838 00:35:36,950 --> 00:35:33,760 they just are not that's a crazy 839 00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:36,960 synchronicity right there 840 00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:38,480 yeah it's pretty unusual and it's funny 841 00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:40,240 because i think the first time i was on 842 00:35:43,030 --> 00:35:41,680 your show i was talking about 843 00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:43,040 synchronicity 844 00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:45,040 and clues and you know we were using the 845 00:35:49,589 --> 00:35:47,680 term glitches in the matrix 846 00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:49,599 for how these things are are often 847 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:51,119 related to each other in the real world 848 00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:52,240 and then i think the second time i was 849 00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:53,440 on your show we were talking about 850 00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:54,880 killer ai 851 00:35:58,069 --> 00:35:56,400 and now we're kind of bringing it all 852 00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:58,079 together you know as we talk about the 853 00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:00,720 simulation hypothesis so it's good quite 854 00:36:07,589 --> 00:36:04,160 an interesting uh mix of of topics it is 855 00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:07,599 it is and for for somebody like you riz 856 00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:11,040 that you you get well you're you're 857 00:36:15,829 --> 00:36:13,839 supposed to get i should say uh you're 858 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:15,839 supposed to understand software and 859 00:36:20,630 --> 00:36:18,560 computers and technology and it's what 860 00:36:23,990 --> 00:36:20,640 you do you know certainly with gaming 861 00:36:26,470 --> 00:36:24,000 and investing and apps and and what 862 00:36:27,670 --> 00:36:26,480 silicon valley is about you know also 863 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:27,680 mit 864 00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:30,480 that you have a grip of what is going on 865 00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:31,800 when the 866 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:36,160 suggestion uh started to surface uh not 867 00:36:39,349 --> 00:36:37,920 not going back to the matrix i'm talking 868 00:36:42,230 --> 00:36:39,359 about today 869 00:36:43,589 --> 00:36:42,240 where different scientists and engineers 870 00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:43,599 around the world 871 00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:46,000 and ceos are talking about 872 00:36:51,030 --> 00:36:48,560 a real possibility stephen hawking for 873 00:36:53,430 --> 00:36:51,040 instance right start you know where they 874 00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:53,440 start referencing the possibility of us 875 00:36:57,990 --> 00:36:56,480 living in a simulation 876 00:36:59,109 --> 00:36:58,000 did that 877 00:37:01,910 --> 00:36:59,119 you know 878 00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:01,920 how do you start to accept that 879 00:37:05,109 --> 00:37:03,599 in that you know what i mean you're 880 00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:05,119 supposed to be smart and you're you're 881 00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:07,680 not supposed to go down that rabbit hole 882 00:37:12,390 --> 00:37:10,160 but yet others are around you in this 883 00:37:13,910 --> 00:37:12,400 industry 884 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:13,920 yeah you know i think it's become a 885 00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:16,160 pretty popular topic within silicon 886 00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:18,880 valley and it's become a serious subject 887 00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:21,280 for physicists 888 00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:24,000 and for philosophers and scientists i 889 00:37:27,829 --> 00:37:26,079 mean it used to be viewed as purely 890 00:37:29,270 --> 00:37:27,839 science fiction right and you know we'll 891 00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:29,280 talk about some of the science fiction 892 00:37:33,670 --> 00:37:31,359 references with philip k dick you know 893 00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:33,680 in addition to the matrix itself uh but 894 00:37:37,030 --> 00:37:35,440 it's taken much more seriously now and i 895 00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:37,040 think there's two big 896 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:38,560 reasons why 897 00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:39,359 uh 898 00:37:44,069 --> 00:37:41,760 one is there was a paper published by a 899 00:37:46,069 --> 00:37:44,079 philosopher at oxford nick bostrom 900 00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:46,079 called are you living in a simulation 901 00:37:49,750 --> 00:37:47,760 and he did a statistical argument we'll 902 00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:49,760 get more into that in a little bit later 903 00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:51,520 but then the second reason is that video 904 00:37:55,349 --> 00:37:53,520 game technology has been developing at 905 00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:55,359 such a rapid pace 906 00:38:00,150 --> 00:37:57,920 over the past decades that we're getting 907 00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:00,160 better and better fidelity and what 908 00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:02,480 we're realizing is we're we're creating 909 00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:05,040 models of the physical world inside the 910 00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:07,520 video game and the more we do this the 911 00:38:13,670 --> 00:38:09,839 more we realize that that the physical 912 00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:13,680 world can be represented as information 913 00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:15,520 right and so you know my background is 914 00:38:19,349 --> 00:38:17,440 in computer science and 915 00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:19,359 a lot of the history of video games and 916 00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:20,880 computer science you know i started 917 00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:23,440 programming on a apple ii computer you 918 00:38:27,910 --> 00:38:25,119 know way back when i think i built 919 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:27,920 tic-tac-toe as my very first game ever 920 00:38:33,829 --> 00:38:29,040 and 921 00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:33,839 is all about optimization you're trying 922 00:38:37,430 --> 00:38:35,200 to squeeze 923 00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:37,440 as much performance as you can 924 00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:40,560 out of the cpu and then later gpus were 925 00:38:44,310 --> 00:38:41,760 developed 926 00:38:46,550 --> 00:38:44,320 you know in fact a lot of the history of 927 00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:46,560 computer software is the history of 928 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:49,200 video games you know the first ai 929 00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:50,560 practical ai that was ever really 930 00:38:55,109 --> 00:38:52,880 developed was a chess playing computer 931 00:38:57,589 --> 00:38:55,119 uh developed by uh claude shannon who's 932 00:39:00,230 --> 00:38:57,599 a professor at mit and a researcher at 933 00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:00,240 bell labs and they consider to be the 934 00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:03,520 father of information science so and a 935 00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:05,119 lot of the optimizations that have been 936 00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:06,000 done 937 00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:09,520 there were so many pixels that had to be 938 00:39:12,150 --> 00:39:10,720 rendered 939 00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:12,160 that you had to have better and better 940 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:14,480 processors and so gpus which are used 941 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:16,160 now for everything from 942 00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:18,320 you know simulating environments to 943 00:39:22,870 --> 00:39:20,640 video games to blockchain to everything 944 00:39:24,790 --> 00:39:22,880 else you know the graphics processing 945 00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:24,800 units were developed in order to play 946 00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:26,560 video games so 947 00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:28,240 really video games are all about 948 00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:30,960 optimization and as 949 00:39:35,109 --> 00:39:32,960 the representation or fidelity has 950 00:39:37,349 --> 00:39:35,119 gotten better and better 951 00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:37,359 in video games this idea that we might 952 00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:39,200 actually be inside the simulation 953 00:39:43,190 --> 00:39:41,280 started to be taken more seriously 954 00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:43,200 i'll tell you a story about my own 955 00:39:46,390 --> 00:39:45,359 my conversion experience if you will 956 00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:46,400 yeah i mean i've been thinking about 957 00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:48,000 this for a long time 958 00:39:53,349 --> 00:39:50,960 but it wasn't until virtual reality 959 00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:53,359 uh really started to take off 960 00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:56,240 over the last couple of years that i 961 00:40:00,790 --> 00:39:57,839 started to say okay now we can see a 962 00:40:03,430 --> 00:40:00,800 direct path from today's technology 963 00:40:05,109 --> 00:40:03,440 to something like the matrix and so i 964 00:40:07,349 --> 00:40:05,119 was playing a um 965 00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:07,359 a ping pong game table tennis game with 966 00:40:12,069 --> 00:40:09,040 the virtual reality glasses it was a 967 00:40:14,310 --> 00:40:12,079 firm in silicon valley up in sausalito 968 00:40:15,510 --> 00:40:14,320 and so i was using the controllers and i 969 00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:15,520 was playing ping pong against an 970 00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:17,599 imaginary opponent and it was so 971 00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:19,760 realistic i was so immersed 972 00:40:23,109 --> 00:40:21,839 with the way the glasses were and and 973 00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:23,119 the way the 974 00:40:27,349 --> 00:40:24,800 responsiveness 975 00:40:29,910 --> 00:40:27,359 to my movements were that at the end of 976 00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:29,920 the game i decided okay i'm going to put 977 00:40:34,230 --> 00:40:32,480 the paddle down on the table and i'm 978 00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:34,240 going to lean against the table 979 00:40:37,829 --> 00:40:35,920 and what happened of course there was no 980 00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:37,839 paddle it's just a controller and there 981 00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:40,720 was no table did you fall over fell on 982 00:40:44,550 --> 00:40:42,480 the floor and i almost fell on the floor 983 00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:44,560 myself and that's when i realized that 984 00:40:49,109 --> 00:40:46,800 immersion was was starting to get to the 985 00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:49,119 point where we could fool ourselves 986 00:40:52,870 --> 00:40:50,800 and we could fool our bodies and our 987 00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:52,880 minds into thinking we were somewhere 988 00:40:56,790 --> 00:40:54,400 that we really weren't so that was one 989 00:40:58,950 --> 00:40:56,800 of my conversion experiences that i had 990 00:41:02,790 --> 00:40:58,960 around this this topic i i 991 00:41:05,349 --> 00:41:02,800 i got so into and so did rita uh we got 992 00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:05,359 so into sims 993 00:41:10,230 --> 00:41:08,720 i mean really into sims and we're 994 00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:10,240 downloading 995 00:41:13,829 --> 00:41:11,280 uh 996 00:41:15,670 --> 00:41:13,839 furniture and houses and and you know 997 00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:15,680 and inserting that stuff into the game 998 00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:18,319 well anyway you get so into sims and 999 00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:22,000 then go to a furniture store like ikea 1000 00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:24,720 and walk around and your head is so 1001 00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:27,280 twisted up everywhere you look you're 1002 00:41:31,349 --> 00:41:29,440 looking at furniture from the sims and 1003 00:41:33,750 --> 00:41:31,359 you're thinking about your house that 1004 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:33,760 you're building in sims and you're 1005 00:41:37,349 --> 00:41:35,599 looking at the people walking around 1006 00:41:40,550 --> 00:41:37,359 inside of ikea 1007 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:40,560 like the people that walk around in sims 1008 00:41:45,030 --> 00:41:43,520 it's a twisted thought but unless you've 1009 00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:45,040 gone through 1010 00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:48,160 your table tennis experience or gone 1011 00:41:52,150 --> 00:41:50,000 through an experience like with sims 1012 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:52,160 where you're fully immersed you don't 1013 00:41:56,470 --> 00:41:54,000 really get it but you start to 1014 00:42:00,390 --> 00:41:56,480 understand that a virtual world can be 1015 00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:00,400 created and you can live in it 1016 00:42:04,390 --> 00:42:02,160 yeah absolutely and in fact you know 1017 00:42:06,309 --> 00:42:04,400 they've done research that shows 1018 00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:06,319 that if you have a virtual character 1019 00:42:11,589 --> 00:42:07,920 smile at you 1020 00:42:14,550 --> 00:42:11,599 that produces a very similar reaction to 1021 00:42:17,349 --> 00:42:14,560 a biochemical reaction to if someone was 1022 00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:17,359 really smiling at you and so the the 1023 00:42:20,870 --> 00:42:19,280 lines start to blur 1024 00:42:22,309 --> 00:42:20,880 between the virtual world and the real 1025 00:42:24,230 --> 00:42:22,319 world and you know i didn't spend as 1026 00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:24,240 much time with sims but but you know i 1027 00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:25,680 know about that and i used to spend time 1028 00:42:30,870 --> 00:42:28,400 in second life which was also a shared 1029 00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:30,880 virtual world and you would go in and 1030 00:42:34,390 --> 00:42:32,560 people would create all kinds of 1031 00:42:36,550 --> 00:42:34,400 structures within this world 1032 00:42:38,470 --> 00:42:36,560 and those structures would live you know 1033 00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:38,480 while they logged out and other people 1034 00:42:42,309 --> 00:42:40,880 would log in and i remember thinking to 1035 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:42,319 myself well what happens to these 1036 00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:45,599 structures when nobody is logged in 1037 00:42:49,750 --> 00:42:47,760 are they actually there or not 1038 00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:49,760 and so then i started to get into the 1039 00:42:55,109 --> 00:42:51,760 philosophical side 1040 00:42:58,550 --> 00:42:55,119 of what is a shared online world in an 1041 00:43:01,510 --> 00:42:58,560 mmorpg like does it actually exist 1042 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:01,520 somewhere or is it just information 1043 00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:04,079 stored on a cloud server 1044 00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:06,560 and the rendered world and this is a 1045 00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:08,720 term i use a lot in the book both for 1046 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:10,480 video games and for the world we see 1047 00:43:15,589 --> 00:43:13,200 around us 1048 00:43:18,470 --> 00:43:15,599 the world is only rendered on my 1049 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:18,480 computer by my local processor right 1050 00:43:22,630 --> 00:43:20,720 therefore the pixels of that world don't 1051 00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:22,640 actually exist somewhere that we're all 1052 00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:24,480 looking at them 1053 00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:26,480 so if you and i are logged into the sims 1054 00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:28,240 online or second life or world of 1055 00:43:30,309 --> 00:43:29,520 warcraft 1056 00:43:32,630 --> 00:43:30,319 right 1057 00:43:35,109 --> 00:43:32,640 we think we're seeing the same thing 1058 00:43:37,430 --> 00:43:35,119 right and the information may be similar 1059 00:43:39,829 --> 00:43:37,440 but it's being rendered by algorithms on 1060 00:43:42,390 --> 00:43:39,839 our own computers and so that's an 1061 00:43:44,630 --> 00:43:42,400 interesting philosophical question 1062 00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:44,640 and i think it's something that that if 1063 00:43:48,790 --> 00:43:47,200 you think seriously about it we'll talk 1064 00:43:51,109 --> 00:43:48,800 about quantum physics you know a little 1065 00:43:53,510 --> 00:43:51,119 bit later but it starts to get into this 1066 00:43:55,270 --> 00:43:53,520 idea of quantum indeterminacy and a 1067 00:43:57,030 --> 00:43:55,280 subjective world 1068 00:43:59,270 --> 00:43:57,040 i mean they've done research recently 1069 00:44:01,829 --> 00:43:59,280 that suggests that there is no objective 1070 00:44:04,710 --> 00:44:01,839 world in the quantum realms that i could 1071 00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:04,720 be seeing you know three particles uh 1072 00:44:08,150 --> 00:44:06,480 entangled in one way and you could be 1073 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:08,160 see you could be seeing them entangled 1074 00:44:12,309 --> 00:44:09,359 in a different way and we'd be looking 1075 00:44:13,109 --> 00:44:12,319 at the same six particles which means 1076 00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:13,119 that 1077 00:44:16,870 --> 00:44:14,560 there could be slightly different 1078 00:44:17,910 --> 00:44:16,880 renderings of the world going on and we 1079 00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:17,920 we wouldn't necessarily know that 1080 00:44:22,630 --> 00:44:20,480 because we can only see our rendering of 1081 00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:22,640 the world and so this idea of a 1082 00:44:27,430 --> 00:44:25,200 informational world and a rendered world 1083 00:44:29,430 --> 00:44:27,440 where our character lives uh you know i 1084 00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:29,440 think is one of the the big metaphors 1085 00:44:33,270 --> 00:44:30,640 that i explore in the book and one of 1086 00:44:35,349 --> 00:44:33,280 the big reasons why uh the simulation 1087 00:44:37,589 --> 00:44:35,359 hypothesis should be taken seriously 1088 00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:37,599 well and and that's the science side of 1089 00:44:42,870 --> 00:44:40,000 it today which i want to spend a lot of 1090 00:44:45,829 --> 00:44:42,880 time talking about but the other part is 1091 00:44:48,150 --> 00:44:45,839 it's exactly what when we get out of the 1092 00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:48,160 electronic age or the computer age and 1093 00:44:53,030 --> 00:44:50,720 go backwards where you get into young 1094 00:44:55,349 --> 00:44:53,040 and then start going even before that 1095 00:44:57,670 --> 00:44:55,359 and get into different world religions 1096 00:45:02,309 --> 00:44:57,680 and different aspects this is exactly 1097 00:45:03,990 --> 00:45:02,319 what they have been referencing forever 1098 00:45:06,309 --> 00:45:04,000 yeah in fact you know one of the reasons 1099 00:45:08,069 --> 00:45:06,319 i'm a big fan of the simulation 1100 00:45:10,150 --> 00:45:08,079 hypothesis is that 1101 00:45:12,790 --> 00:45:10,160 science and religion have kind of gone 1102 00:45:14,630 --> 00:45:12,800 their separate ways many times right you 1103 00:45:17,109 --> 00:45:14,640 know a lot of academics and scientists 1104 00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:17,119 don't take religion seriously except as 1105 00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:18,880 a social construct 1106 00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:21,280 they've given up trying to explain any 1107 00:45:25,670 --> 00:45:23,200 of the things that are talked about 1108 00:45:28,069 --> 00:45:25,680 you know on the religious side but turns 1109 00:45:29,829 --> 00:45:28,079 out the simulation hypothesis provides a 1110 00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:29,839 scientific basis 1111 00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:33,040 for a lot of what different religions 1112 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:35,359 have been telling us right and it turns 1113 00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:37,359 out it's not just the western religions 1114 00:45:40,230 --> 00:45:39,359 but the eastern religions you know they 1115 00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:40,240 both 1116 00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:42,240 fit very well 1117 00:45:47,829 --> 00:45:44,480 i mean i i'll give you an example so you 1118 00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:47,839 know um i i grew up in a muslim 1119 00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:49,920 household and uh 1120 00:45:54,790 --> 00:45:52,560 the koran being one of the abrahamic 1121 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:54,800 you know religions with islam judaism 1122 00:45:59,270 --> 00:45:57,359 and christianity they talk about 1123 00:46:01,430 --> 00:45:59,280 the scroll of deeds 1124 00:46:03,270 --> 00:46:01,440 which gets recorded by these recording 1125 00:46:06,230 --> 00:46:03,280 angels and they sit there and they 1126 00:46:07,430 --> 00:46:06,240 record every little deed that you do 1127 00:46:08,870 --> 00:46:07,440 and you know this is what they told us 1128 00:46:10,950 --> 00:46:08,880 when we were growing up 1129 00:46:12,390 --> 00:46:10,960 and then later 1130 00:46:14,470 --> 00:46:12,400 after you die 1131 00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:14,480 you have to account for those and turns 1132 00:46:19,589 --> 00:46:17,280 out god shows you those deeds and he 1133 00:46:21,829 --> 00:46:19,599 shows them to you in a different way 1134 00:46:24,630 --> 00:46:21,839 because you may not be aware of how your 1135 00:46:26,069 --> 00:46:24,640 actions affected other people and so you 1136 00:46:27,750 --> 00:46:26,079 can't just see a list you have to 1137 00:46:28,950 --> 00:46:27,760 actually see what the impact was of 1138 00:46:31,190 --> 00:46:28,960 those deeds 1139 00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:31,200 well just last year i was working with a 1140 00:46:36,069 --> 00:46:32,800 startup that could 1141 00:46:38,790 --> 00:46:36,079 render inside a video game 1142 00:46:40,550 --> 00:46:38,800 in 3d from any point inside the game so 1143 00:46:42,630 --> 00:46:40,560 if anyone's played world of warcraft or 1144 00:46:44,390 --> 00:46:42,640 league of legends there's a 3d world and 1145 00:46:47,270 --> 00:46:44,400 normally you can only see your 1146 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:47,280 character's perspective but we were able 1147 00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:49,520 to put the virtual camera anywhere 1148 00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:51,760 inside the game so you could literally 1149 00:46:56,790 --> 00:46:54,240 see what the game looked like 1150 00:46:59,270 --> 00:46:56,800 from another player's perspective so you 1151 00:47:01,510 --> 00:46:59,280 could see exactly what you did to them 1152 00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:01,520 um and it turns out you know there 1153 00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:02,960 probably aren't 1154 00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:05,200 you know 14 billion angels two for each 1155 00:47:10,630 --> 00:47:07,839 of us if all they do is record things 1156 00:47:12,470 --> 00:47:10,640 most likely it would have to be an ai 1157 00:47:14,630 --> 00:47:12,480 of some type that's recording these like 1158 00:47:17,109 --> 00:47:14,640 a screen capture in a video game and 1159 00:47:19,030 --> 00:47:17,119 then you can play it back and so you 1160 00:47:21,670 --> 00:47:19,040 know it turns out that a lot of what the 1161 00:47:23,510 --> 00:47:21,680 world's religions were talking about 1162 00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:23,520 was very similar to the simulation 1163 00:47:27,270 --> 00:47:25,200 hypothesis i mean you had daniel 1164 00:47:28,710 --> 00:47:27,280 brinkley on your show many times and you 1165 00:47:31,109 --> 00:47:28,720 know he and i have talked about this a 1166 00:47:33,670 --> 00:47:31,119 lot and he when he had his near-death 1167 00:47:36,309 --> 00:47:33,680 experience you know he was shown a life 1168 00:47:39,270 --> 00:47:36,319 review he called it a panoramic 360 life 1169 00:47:41,030 --> 00:47:39,280 review where you would actually see 1170 00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:41,040 the effects of your actions you know if 1171 00:47:43,910 --> 00:47:42,640 you punch someone or you shot someone 1172 00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:43,920 you would see it from their point of 1173 00:47:48,150 --> 00:47:45,839 view and the only way to do that is to 1174 00:47:50,630 --> 00:47:48,160 record it in this kind of a 3d way in 1175 00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:50,640 the same way that we use screen capture 1176 00:47:54,230 --> 00:47:52,880 within video games and then to re-render 1177 00:47:56,870 --> 00:47:54,240 it afterwards so it turns out the 1178 00:47:59,270 --> 00:47:56,880 technology of video games 1179 00:48:00,470 --> 00:47:59,280 you know explains pretty well you know 1180 00:48:01,430 --> 00:48:00,480 many of the things and that's just one 1181 00:48:04,390 --> 00:48:01,440 example 1182 00:48:08,230 --> 00:48:04,400 isn't that i mean couldn't you take like 1183 00:48:09,190 --> 00:48:08,240 the example of heaven and earth 1184 00:48:10,870 --> 00:48:09,200 where 1185 00:48:13,349 --> 00:48:10,880 heaven is 1186 00:48:17,109 --> 00:48:13,359 presented as the real world 1187 00:48:19,910 --> 00:48:17,119 right that earth is just it is is not 1188 00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:19,920 the real thing heaven is heaven is the 1189 00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:22,960 real world and there's an example of 1190 00:48:27,670 --> 00:48:25,200 if you're you know if you're down here 1191 00:48:31,109 --> 00:48:27,680 on earth you're living in the simulation 1192 00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:31,119 the real world is heaven 1193 00:48:34,069 --> 00:48:32,800 that's exactly right and that's what you 1194 00:48:36,470 --> 00:48:34,079 know the world's religions have been 1195 00:48:39,030 --> 00:48:36,480 telling us all along is that what we're 1196 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:39,040 seeing is more of a training ground 1197 00:48:42,470 --> 00:48:40,480 right where 1198 00:48:45,109 --> 00:48:42,480 score is being kept 1199 00:48:47,750 --> 00:48:45,119 and we are being judged based on those 1200 00:48:51,270 --> 00:48:47,760 actions uh in the real world and we 1201 00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:51,280 won't know that you know until we die 1202 00:48:57,030 --> 00:48:55,040 and and so you know consciousness is 1203 00:48:57,829 --> 00:48:57,040 downloaded if you will 1204 00:48:59,670 --> 00:48:57,839 to 1205 00:49:02,710 --> 00:48:59,680 the body at birth 1206 00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:02,720 and then upload it from the body 1207 00:49:07,030 --> 00:49:05,119 afterwards at death so you're back in 1208 00:49:09,030 --> 00:49:07,040 the real world and so what does that 1209 00:49:10,870 --> 00:49:09,040 sound like it sounds a lot like a 1210 00:49:13,510 --> 00:49:10,880 role-playing game 1211 00:49:16,150 --> 00:49:13,520 where you end up taking on a particular 1212 00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:16,160 character but a very immersive one right 1213 00:49:20,069 --> 00:49:18,240 so it's very hard for us to 1214 00:49:22,950 --> 00:49:20,079 remember these other realms while we're 1215 00:49:24,950 --> 00:49:22,960 here so it's a fully immersive game 1216 00:49:26,710 --> 00:49:24,960 uh but you know this idea of downloading 1217 00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:26,720 consciousness is something that 1218 00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:28,640 silicon valley is taking very seriously 1219 00:49:31,270 --> 00:49:30,240 now right you have people who are 1220 00:49:33,430 --> 00:49:31,280 talking about downloading your 1221 00:49:34,870 --> 00:49:33,440 consciousness into a silicon device well 1222 00:49:36,549 --> 00:49:34,880 it turns out you know the religions have 1223 00:49:37,829 --> 00:49:36,559 been telling us all along 1224 00:49:39,190 --> 00:49:37,839 and particularly as you look at the 1225 00:49:42,230 --> 00:49:39,200 eastern 1226 00:49:44,309 --> 00:49:42,240 uh traditions like buddhism and hinduism 1227 00:49:46,150 --> 00:49:44,319 and and that whole line i mean they've 1228 00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:46,160 been explicitly telling us and we don't 1229 00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:47,920 even have to draw an analogy they've 1230 00:49:52,549 --> 00:49:51,040 been saying that what we see is maya 1231 00:49:54,870 --> 00:49:52,559 or illusion 1232 00:49:56,870 --> 00:49:54,880 right this isn't the real world and the 1233 00:49:59,589 --> 00:49:56,880 real world is beyond that illusion in 1234 00:50:01,990 --> 00:49:59,599 fact in the vedas the hindu traditions 1235 00:50:05,109 --> 00:50:02,000 they have a term called the leela which 1236 00:50:06,870 --> 00:50:05,119 is the grand play a stage play right we 1237 00:50:09,270 --> 00:50:06,880 get so caught up in the stage play of 1238 00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:09,280 life that we're caught in this illusion 1239 00:50:13,670 --> 00:50:11,440 of maya and we think we're in the real 1240 00:50:15,910 --> 00:50:13,680 world well you know obviously back then 1241 00:50:17,670 --> 00:50:15,920 they didn't have video games so a stage 1242 00:50:20,230 --> 00:50:17,680 play seemed like a good 1243 00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:20,240 good analogy to but today if it's an 1244 00:50:25,510 --> 00:50:23,040 interactive stage play with lots and 1245 00:50:28,150 --> 00:50:25,520 lots of characters that are being coming 1246 00:50:31,349 --> 00:50:28,160 in and out of the play it sounds a heck 1247 00:50:33,109 --> 00:50:31,359 of a lot like a you know multiplayer 1248 00:50:35,109 --> 00:50:33,119 online role-playing game where you take 1249 00:50:37,030 --> 00:50:35,119 on these different personas and you 1250 00:50:38,069 --> 00:50:37,040 download into it and then you download 1251 00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:38,079 out of it 1252 00:50:43,030 --> 00:50:40,240 what is it that you know we talk about 1253 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:43,040 it so often rizz about what the ancients 1254 00:50:47,270 --> 00:50:46,160 knew and what we've lost over time but 1255 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:47,280 when you go back and you look at the 1256 00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:50,800 vedic text or is sumerian text or what 1257 00:50:55,829 --> 00:50:54,240 plato wrote about and all of the other 1258 00:50:58,390 --> 00:50:55,839 imagery from 1259 00:51:01,109 --> 00:50:58,400 from greece and rome and egypt 1260 00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:01,119 uh where this conversation 1261 00:51:07,190 --> 00:51:04,319 was pretty solid you know 1262 00:51:09,270 --> 00:51:07,200 about the possibility of not knowing 1263 00:51:11,589 --> 00:51:09,280 what the real world is that we are 1264 00:51:13,589 --> 00:51:11,599 living in something else 1265 00:51:15,589 --> 00:51:13,599 yeah and there's a very famous you know 1266 00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:15,599 allegory that plato wrote about in the 1267 00:51:19,109 --> 00:51:17,359 republic of the cave 1268 00:51:21,349 --> 00:51:19,119 which probably many listeners have heard 1269 00:51:22,950 --> 00:51:21,359 of but the basic idea was he said if you 1270 00:51:24,390 --> 00:51:22,960 if you're in a cave and you're chained 1271 00:51:26,710 --> 00:51:24,400 to a wall 1272 00:51:28,790 --> 00:51:26,720 and you can't really see outside the 1273 00:51:31,190 --> 00:51:28,800 cave but you can see you know from the 1274 00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:31,200 mouth of the cave you can see shadows of 1275 00:51:35,910 --> 00:51:32,640 what's going on 1276 00:51:37,510 --> 00:51:35,920 outside the cave and you know plato used 1277 00:51:40,069 --> 00:51:37,520 the analogy that that 1278 00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:40,079 is what we are like we're like prisoners 1279 00:51:43,829 --> 00:51:41,760 chained to the wall and we only see 1280 00:51:46,150 --> 00:51:43,839 shadows so you develop a whole 1281 00:51:48,549 --> 00:51:46,160 vocabulary for 1282 00:51:49,750 --> 00:51:48,559 what is going on based on these shadows 1283 00:51:50,950 --> 00:51:49,760 that we're seeing against the wall but 1284 00:51:51,829 --> 00:51:50,960 we don't know where the light's coming 1285 00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:51,839 from 1286 00:51:55,349 --> 00:51:53,920 the sun could be outside the cave and it 1287 00:51:57,829 --> 00:51:55,359 could be causing these shadows and 1288 00:52:00,150 --> 00:51:57,839 reflections of real people 1289 00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:00,160 and he also said that if someone were to 1290 00:52:03,670 --> 00:52:01,920 escape from the cave 1291 00:52:05,190 --> 00:52:03,680 first he would be blinded by the light 1292 00:52:06,710 --> 00:52:05,200 but then secondly if he came back and 1293 00:52:08,630 --> 00:52:06,720 tried to tell everybody that's chained 1294 00:52:10,630 --> 00:52:08,640 up in the cave what happened they would 1295 00:52:11,589 --> 00:52:10,640 say he was crazy right 1296 00:52:13,349 --> 00:52:11,599 which 1297 00:52:14,950 --> 00:52:13,359 is often what happens when somebody has 1298 00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:14,960 an enlightenment experience and they 1299 00:52:19,510 --> 00:52:16,880 feel that they've you know glimpsed 1300 00:52:22,710 --> 00:52:19,520 something beyond the the illusory world 1301 00:52:25,750 --> 00:52:22,720 around us and so all of these traditions 1302 00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:25,760 um this idea of you know reincarnation 1303 00:52:30,150 --> 00:52:26,800 as well 1304 00:52:31,190 --> 00:52:30,160 where you have a set of tasks that get 1305 00:52:32,950 --> 00:52:31,200 built up 1306 00:52:34,470 --> 00:52:32,960 so you know you mentioned that i'm a 1307 00:52:35,990 --> 00:52:34,480 video game designer and i've been 1308 00:52:38,630 --> 00:52:36,000 working on video games for the past 10 1309 00:52:40,710 --> 00:52:38,640 years well most video games have this 1310 00:52:42,069 --> 00:52:40,720 idea of a quest engine 1311 00:52:43,829 --> 00:52:42,079 and you have to like you know go kill 1312 00:52:45,109 --> 00:52:43,839 the goblin king or you have to go get 1313 00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:45,119 this many 1314 00:52:48,309 --> 00:52:46,720 pieces of gold or you have to find this 1315 00:52:50,710 --> 00:52:48,319 particular treasure and when you 1316 00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:50,720 complete the quest you go on to the next 1317 00:52:55,109 --> 00:52:53,040 quest well if you look at 1318 00:52:56,790 --> 00:52:55,119 the structure of karma and how it's 1319 00:52:57,910 --> 00:52:56,800 described in the eastern text it's 1320 00:53:00,549 --> 00:52:57,920 basically 1321 00:53:03,030 --> 00:53:00,559 a way to keep track of these things that 1322 00:53:04,309 --> 00:53:03,040 you have to do so you know they tell us 1323 00:53:06,790 --> 00:53:04,319 in the eastern traditions that we create 1324 00:53:08,790 --> 00:53:06,800 karma with all of our actions well how 1325 00:53:11,349 --> 00:53:08,800 would that actually work it would have 1326 00:53:12,950 --> 00:53:11,359 to be stored somewhere outside the 1327 00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:12,960 rendered world 1328 00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:15,359 and then we would have to basically 1329 00:53:19,109 --> 00:53:17,760 as we go through the world 1330 00:53:21,430 --> 00:53:19,119 and particularly as you go into the next 1331 00:53:23,430 --> 00:53:21,440 life you would have to then go and take 1332 00:53:25,190 --> 00:53:23,440 care of that karma so if you think of a 1333 00:53:27,589 --> 00:53:25,200 series of quests 1334 00:53:29,270 --> 00:53:27,599 that are there you know it turns out and 1335 00:53:31,510 --> 00:53:29,280 in the book i have a whole diagram of 1336 00:53:33,430 --> 00:53:31,520 what a quest engine would look like that 1337 00:53:35,990 --> 00:53:33,440 could explain karma provides a pretty 1338 00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:36,000 interesting scientific basis for this 1339 00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:38,160 model that people have been telling us 1340 00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:39,920 you know all through the ages this is 1341 00:53:43,750 --> 00:53:42,400 really how the universe works yeah i i 1342 00:53:45,990 --> 00:53:43,760 also look at 1343 00:53:49,750 --> 00:53:46,000 it it's a weird 1344 00:53:52,309 --> 00:53:49,760 way to understand this but if you 1345 00:53:54,309 --> 00:53:52,319 look at a fish in a fish bowl 1346 00:53:56,950 --> 00:53:54,319 okay that's his world 1347 00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:56,960 and we look out here 1348 00:54:00,870 --> 00:53:58,720 you know our living room right and 1349 00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:00,880 you've got the fish bowl sitting on the 1350 00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:02,160 coffee table 1351 00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:04,000 that fish 1352 00:54:08,069 --> 00:54:04,960 that 1353 00:54:09,750 --> 00:54:08,079 nother dimension 1354 00:54:12,470 --> 00:54:09,760 right he doesn't he doesn't understand 1355 00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:12,480 he didn't even see it he doesn't unders 1356 00:54:16,150 --> 00:54:14,480 he can't relate to it 1357 00:54:18,309 --> 00:54:16,160 but you take him out of that fishbowl 1358 00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:18,319 he'd have a heart attack he wouldn't he 1359 00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:20,000 could not you know what i mean he 1360 00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:21,760 couldn't relate to 1361 00:54:24,710 --> 00:54:23,920 well we could be the fish in the fish 1362 00:54:26,950 --> 00:54:24,720 bowl 1363 00:54:28,950 --> 00:54:26,960 and we could be part of that and we 1364 00:54:30,630 --> 00:54:28,960 don't understand really what's going on 1365 00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:30,640 with this other dimension that could be 1366 00:54:35,190 --> 00:54:31,920 outside of 1367 00:54:37,030 --> 00:54:35,200 of of where we exist 1368 00:54:38,790 --> 00:54:37,040 yeah i think that's you know exactly 1369 00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:38,800 right and the fishbowl analogy is a good 1370 00:54:41,910 --> 00:54:39,920 one because 1371 00:54:44,630 --> 00:54:41,920 you know the material world 1372 00:54:46,870 --> 00:54:44,640 being like the water in this case 1373 00:54:48,710 --> 00:54:46,880 and so you know this is when if you were 1374 00:54:51,349 --> 00:54:48,720 to take a purely materialistic view of 1375 00:54:52,950 --> 00:54:51,359 the world you know you would say 1376 00:54:54,710 --> 00:54:52,960 that 1377 00:54:56,549 --> 00:54:54,720 there's just the water and nothing 1378 00:54:57,910 --> 00:54:56,559 outside of that could actually exist and 1379 00:54:59,349 --> 00:54:57,920 you couldn't really 1380 00:55:03,030 --> 00:54:59,359 figure out how this stuff worked but 1381 00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:03,040 we've had hints and clues all along 1382 00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:05,200 and you know even as you get into the 1383 00:55:08,710 --> 00:55:06,400 physics 1384 00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:08,720 and you get into the biology 1385 00:55:12,150 --> 00:55:10,400 every field 1386 00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:12,160 of science 1387 00:55:15,750 --> 00:55:13,040 is 1388 00:55:18,790 --> 00:55:15,760 basically finding that underneath it's 1389 00:55:21,589 --> 00:55:18,800 all about information and computation 1390 00:55:23,750 --> 00:55:21,599 and it's not so much about the physical 1391 00:55:25,510 --> 00:55:23,760 world itself and so i think that's a you 1392 00:55:27,430 --> 00:55:25,520 know an important point that's why you 1393 00:55:29,270 --> 00:55:27,440 know the simulation hypothesis i think 1394 00:55:30,470 --> 00:55:29,280 can bridge the gap 1395 00:55:32,950 --> 00:55:30,480 between 1396 00:55:35,030 --> 00:55:32,960 these spiritual and religious traditions 1397 00:55:37,030 --> 00:55:35,040 and the materialistic you know 1398 00:55:39,190 --> 00:55:37,040 scientific point of view uh i mentioned 1399 00:55:41,589 --> 00:55:39,200 uh oxford's nick bostrom you know he 1400 00:55:43,109 --> 00:55:41,599 says online that many times he's had 1401 00:55:45,109 --> 00:55:43,119 friends of his who are university 1402 00:55:46,870 --> 00:55:45,119 professors who are atheists who after 1403 00:55:48,470 --> 00:55:46,880 they look at the simulation hypothesis a 1404 00:55:51,349 --> 00:55:48,480 little more seriously say 1405 00:55:54,390 --> 00:55:51,359 well maybe the logical thing to do is to 1406 00:55:56,230 --> 00:55:54,400 be an agnostic because anyone that was 1407 00:55:59,430 --> 00:55:56,240 outside the simulation 1408 00:56:01,270 --> 00:55:59,440 might look like gods or angels or super 1409 00:56:02,710 --> 00:56:01,280 powerful beings to the people inside the 1410 00:56:03,829 --> 00:56:02,720 simulation right from the fish's 1411 00:56:05,910 --> 00:56:03,839 perspective 1412 00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:05,920 we can pick up the bowl and move it you 1413 00:56:10,470 --> 00:56:07,920 know what kind of beings are we 1414 00:56:11,910 --> 00:56:10,480 from that perspective that's exactly 1415 00:56:14,630 --> 00:56:11,920 that's where the tie 1416 00:56:17,109 --> 00:56:14,640 ties together that's exactly the point i 1417 00:56:18,150 --> 00:56:17,119 mean how mind-blowing is that well for 1418 00:56:21,510 --> 00:56:18,160 us 1419 00:56:22,710 --> 00:56:21,520 fish bowl 1420 00:56:25,670 --> 00:56:22,720 so 1421 00:56:28,069 --> 00:56:25,680 us being the fish not understanding who 1422 00:56:29,190 --> 00:56:28,079 could be controlling us outside of our 1423 00:56:31,990 --> 00:56:29,200 world 1424 00:56:34,150 --> 00:56:32,000 it's a fascinating thought and if it's 1425 00:56:36,150 --> 00:56:34,160 as simple for us to grasp about the 1426 00:56:38,069 --> 00:56:36,160 fishbowl then what would be the 1427 00:56:40,870 --> 00:56:38,079 difference the answer is nothing there 1428 00:56:42,230 --> 00:56:40,880 isn't a difference 1429 00:56:44,950 --> 00:56:42,240 yeah that's right and so things that 1430 00:56:46,870 --> 00:56:44,960 look supernatural are actually just 1431 00:56:50,069 --> 00:56:46,880 a regular part 1432 00:56:51,430 --> 00:56:50,079 you know of of of how the world works um 1433 00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:51,440 you know i talked about 1434 00:56:55,270 --> 00:56:52,799 downloading of consciousness since we're 1435 00:56:57,430 --> 00:56:55,280 talking about the the ancient traditions 1436 00:56:59,589 --> 00:56:57,440 i'll talk a little bit more about that 1437 00:57:01,430 --> 00:56:59,599 you know in the tibetan traditions 1438 00:57:03,109 --> 00:57:01,440 they say that the world is like a dream 1439 00:57:04,630 --> 00:57:03,119 and this is an analogy that comes up 1440 00:57:06,950 --> 00:57:04,640 again and again 1441 00:57:09,190 --> 00:57:06,960 and you know what is a dream 1442 00:57:10,390 --> 00:57:09,200 but a mini simulation right when we're 1443 00:57:11,349 --> 00:57:10,400 inside of it 1444 00:57:13,910 --> 00:57:11,359 we think 1445 00:57:16,230 --> 00:57:13,920 that it's real but then we wake up and 1446 00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:16,240 we realize that it wasn't necessarily 1447 00:57:20,870 --> 00:57:18,319 real well in the tibetan traditions 1448 00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:20,880 there's a whole field called dream yoga 1449 00:57:26,069 --> 00:57:23,200 and the idea is they train you to wake 1450 00:57:28,390 --> 00:57:26,079 up within the dream and to realize that 1451 00:57:29,270 --> 00:57:28,400 the dream you're seeing is an illusion 1452 00:57:32,309 --> 00:57:29,280 and 1453 00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:32,319 that process is meant to then help you 1454 00:57:37,190 --> 00:57:34,960 wake up in real life kind of i guess the 1455 00:57:39,030 --> 00:57:37,200 that would be the the tibetan buddhist 1456 00:57:41,589 --> 00:57:39,040 version of the red pill you know versus 1457 00:57:43,829 --> 00:57:41,599 the blue pill to actually realize that 1458 00:57:44,630 --> 00:57:43,839 what's going on around you 1459 00:57:47,670 --> 00:57:44,640 is 1460 00:57:49,510 --> 00:57:47,680 consciousness you know there's a 1461 00:57:50,950 --> 00:57:49,520 consciousness outside of it and so this 1462 00:57:53,030 --> 00:57:50,960 is why i like 1463 00:57:55,430 --> 00:57:53,040 the video game analogy because 1464 00:57:58,069 --> 00:57:55,440 in video games you have a player 1465 00:58:00,390 --> 00:57:58,079 and then you have a character a pc that 1466 00:58:02,150 --> 00:58:00,400 a player character that you are playing 1467 00:58:04,150 --> 00:58:02,160 and so there's consciousness outside of 1468 00:58:06,230 --> 00:58:04,160 the game and there's a player within the 1469 00:58:08,390 --> 00:58:06,240 video game now not everybody subscribes 1470 00:58:11,670 --> 00:58:08,400 to that right some people think we're in 1471 00:58:13,670 --> 00:58:11,680 a simulation and everybody is just ai 1472 00:58:15,430 --> 00:58:13,680 or simulated consciousness right and so 1473 00:58:17,990 --> 00:58:15,440 those that that's a big debate within 1474 00:58:20,390 --> 00:58:18,000 the world of the simulation hypothesis 1475 00:58:22,470 --> 00:58:20,400 uh but i tend to subscribe to and that's 1476 00:58:24,789 --> 00:58:22,480 why you know video games is in in this 1477 00:58:26,950 --> 00:58:24,799 book i really use my background in 1478 00:58:28,069 --> 00:58:26,960 designing and creating video games um 1479 00:58:29,829 --> 00:58:28,079 and i was talking about the tibetan 1480 00:58:32,470 --> 00:58:29,839 traditions they also have what are 1481 00:58:34,789 --> 00:58:32,480 called the sixth yogas of naropa one of 1482 00:58:37,430 --> 00:58:34,799 which is dream yoga turns out there's a 1483 00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:37,440 there's a secret seventh yoga called the 1484 00:58:41,750 --> 00:58:39,359 yoga of consciousness 1485 00:58:43,990 --> 00:58:41,760 uh projects forceful projection and 1486 00:58:45,750 --> 00:58:44,000 consciousness transference and the idea 1487 00:58:47,109 --> 00:58:45,760 is you can actually if you're trained to 1488 00:58:49,270 --> 00:58:47,119 do this and they keep it secret for 1489 00:58:51,670 --> 00:58:49,280 obvious reasons you can actually project 1490 00:58:54,309 --> 00:58:51,680 your consciousness out of your body into 1491 00:58:56,549 --> 00:58:54,319 another biological organism so it's just 1492 00:58:58,549 --> 00:58:56,559 like learning how to upload and download 1493 00:59:00,789 --> 00:58:58,559 your consciousness and there's a famous 1494 00:59:03,589 --> 00:59:00,799 story of uh 1495 00:59:04,549 --> 00:59:03,599 marpa who is a famous tibetan yogi his 1496 00:59:07,030 --> 00:59:04,559 son 1497 00:59:08,710 --> 00:59:07,040 fell off a horse and was about to die he 1498 00:59:11,990 --> 00:59:08,720 ended up projecting his consciousness 1499 00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:12,000 into a pigeon that was nearby the pigeon 1500 00:59:15,990 --> 00:59:14,160 flew to india and he then transferred 1501 00:59:17,190 --> 00:59:16,000 his consciousness to a recently deceased 1502 00:59:18,630 --> 00:59:17,200 younger man 1503 00:59:21,030 --> 00:59:18,640 you know they had these graveyards back 1504 00:59:22,710 --> 00:59:21,040 then they didn't always cremate people 1505 00:59:25,270 --> 00:59:22,720 and he basically transformed himself 1506 00:59:27,670 --> 00:59:25,280 into a new body and and kept teaching 1507 00:59:29,829 --> 00:59:27,680 you know that that yoga of consciousness 1508 00:59:32,230 --> 00:59:29,839 transference uh so it sounds a little 1509 00:59:33,589 --> 00:59:32,240 morbid but you know it's not unlike what 1510 00:59:35,510 --> 00:59:33,599 people in silicon valley are talking 1511 00:59:37,750 --> 00:59:35,520 about today which is saying they want to 1512 00:59:40,150 --> 00:59:37,760 transfer their consciousness to silicon 1513 00:59:42,470 --> 00:59:40,160 to try to get to this idea of digital 1514 00:59:44,309 --> 00:59:42,480 immortality 1515 00:59:46,390 --> 00:59:44,319 let's take a break right here our guest 1516 00:59:48,230 --> 00:59:46,400 tonight resverk

01:05:44,870 --> 01:05:29,180 [Applause] 1649 01:05:46,390 --> 01:05:44,880 [Music] 1650 01:05:48,390 --> 01:05:46,400 welcome back fade to black i'm yours 1651 01:05:50,390 --> 01:05:48,400 jimmy church tonight rizz burke is with 1652 01:05:52,309 --> 01:05:50,400 us discussing his new book the 1653 01:05:54,230 --> 01:05:52,319 simulation hypothesis 1654 01:05:55,990 --> 01:05:54,240 you can go and order yours now at 1655 01:05:57,589 --> 01:05:56,000 zentrepreneur.com 1656 01:05:59,750 --> 01:05:57,599 the links for that over at 1657 01:06:02,309 --> 01:05:59,760 jimmychurchradio.com 1658 01:06:05,270 --> 01:06:02,319 and now picking up where we left offers 1659 01:06:07,109 --> 01:06:05,280 i want to really get into the science 1660 01:06:08,150 --> 01:06:07,119 side of this i think that everybody is 1661 01:06:09,910 --> 01:06:08,160 waiting 1662 01:06:11,430 --> 01:06:09,920 for you know the physicists and 1663 01:06:13,910 --> 01:06:11,440 scientists around the world to step up 1664 01:06:16,630 --> 01:06:13,920 and go okay it's all a simulation okay 1665 01:06:18,630 --> 01:06:16,640 and and here's why but before we get to 1666 01:06:21,990 --> 01:06:18,640 that i want to throw this out 1667 01:06:24,390 --> 01:06:22,000 what if because the consciousness side 1668 01:06:26,549 --> 01:06:24,400 of this and downloading that 1669 01:06:27,829 --> 01:06:26,559 it's one thing with ones and zeros but 1670 01:06:31,190 --> 01:06:27,839 let's say 1671 01:06:33,510 --> 01:06:31,200 that you exist in a simulated reality 1672 01:06:35,270 --> 01:06:33,520 right and and rizzberg 1673 01:06:38,630 --> 01:06:35,280 then goes in 1674 01:06:42,630 --> 01:06:38,640 and downloads his consciousness and self 1675 01:06:44,150 --> 01:06:42,640 inside of said simulation right 1676 01:06:46,150 --> 01:06:44,160 wait a minute 1677 01:06:47,589 --> 01:06:46,160 are we creating some kind of crazy 1678 01:06:51,029 --> 01:06:47,599 feedback loop 1679 01:06:54,870 --> 01:06:51,039 and then inside of that simulation 1680 01:06:57,750 --> 01:06:54,880 you do it once again and you are now 1681 01:07:00,630 --> 01:06:57,760 two or three times removed from 1682 01:07:02,309 --> 01:07:00,640 what would be perceived as your real 1683 01:07:04,309 --> 01:07:02,319 self 1684 01:07:06,390 --> 01:07:04,319 right so it's kind of like a matrix you 1685 01:07:07,990 --> 01:07:06,400 know within the matrix right 1686 01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:08,000 um and 1687 01:07:10,789 --> 01:07:09,760 this is something that i think is is 1688 01:07:11,829 --> 01:07:10,799 very 1689 01:07:15,029 --> 01:07:11,839 um 1690 01:07:16,549 --> 01:07:15,039 it speculated a lot you know within 1691 01:07:18,549 --> 01:07:16,559 people who like to talk about the 1692 01:07:20,630 --> 01:07:18,559 simulation hypothesis 1693 01:07:21,829 --> 01:07:20,640 and you know in my book i spent about a 1694 01:07:24,230 --> 01:07:21,839 third of the book 1695 01:07:26,390 --> 01:07:24,240 talking about the technology 1696 01:07:27,990 --> 01:07:26,400 and how would we build 1697 01:07:29,510 --> 01:07:28,000 the matrix in fact i had an article in 1698 01:07:31,349 --> 01:07:29,520 techcrunch today that was you know how 1699 01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:31,359 to build a matrix looking at the 1700 01:07:35,190 --> 01:07:34,319 technology 20 years later 1701 01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:35,200 and 1702 01:07:38,710 --> 01:07:37,200 basically the first 1703 01:07:41,990 --> 01:07:38,720 parts of that 1704 01:07:43,750 --> 01:07:42,000 roadmap you know map pretty well to what 1705 01:07:45,190 --> 01:07:43,760 we've already developed in terms of our 1706 01:07:48,230 --> 01:07:45,200 video games starting with text 1707 01:07:49,190 --> 01:07:48,240 adventures which came up with this idea 1708 01:07:51,270 --> 01:07:49,200 of 1709 01:07:52,870 --> 01:07:51,280 a world in the computer right before 1710 01:07:54,069 --> 01:07:52,880 that no one had ever really thought 1711 01:07:56,470 --> 01:07:54,079 about that 1712 01:07:58,870 --> 01:07:56,480 and you had to use your your mind 1713 01:08:01,190 --> 01:07:58,880 uh to really visualize the world right 1714 01:08:03,910 --> 01:08:01,200 then we went to arcade games like 1715 01:08:05,910 --> 01:08:03,920 asteroids and space invaders and you 1716 01:08:07,430 --> 01:08:05,920 know i used to play on my atari back in 1717 01:08:10,390 --> 01:08:07,440 the early 90s you know i used to play 1718 01:08:12,390 --> 01:08:10,400 these racing games and i'd always wonder 1719 01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:12,400 what was going on in that that racing 1720 01:08:17,110 --> 01:08:14,720 game beyond the racetrack and the people 1721 01:08:18,870 --> 01:08:17,120 in the bleachers and i would see clouds 1722 01:08:19,669 --> 01:08:18,880 and cityscapes beyond that and wonder 1723 01:08:21,669 --> 01:08:19,679 you know 1724 01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:21,679 what's what's over there in that 1725 01:08:24,229 --> 01:08:23,359 simulated world 1726 01:08:26,709 --> 01:08:24,239 i don't know if you ever played 1727 01:08:28,309 --> 01:08:26,719 asteroids but you could go off of 1728 01:08:29,910 --> 01:08:28,319 the top of the screen and you would 1729 01:08:32,229 --> 01:08:29,920 appear your ship would appear at the 1730 01:08:33,590 --> 01:08:32,239 bottom of the screen so there was a 1731 01:08:35,510 --> 01:08:33,600 geometry 1732 01:08:36,950 --> 01:08:35,520 to this graphical world which was being 1733 01:08:38,470 --> 01:08:36,960 rendered 1734 01:08:40,070 --> 01:08:38,480 with pixels 1735 01:08:43,430 --> 01:08:40,080 right and then you know there's like 10 1736 01:08:46,390 --> 01:08:43,440 stages that we go through but as we 1737 01:08:47,829 --> 01:08:46,400 represent the world as 3d models 1738 01:08:48,950 --> 01:08:47,839 that's where the optimization comes and 1739 01:08:51,110 --> 01:08:48,960 we'll talk about that along with the 1740 01:08:54,070 --> 01:08:51,120 quantum physics but eventually some of 1741 01:08:56,470 --> 01:08:54,080 the later stages to really truly build a 1742 01:08:58,630 --> 01:08:56,480 simulation like the matrix you know we 1743 01:08:59,590 --> 01:08:58,640 would have to fool ourselves into 1744 01:09:02,470 --> 01:08:59,600 thinking 1745 01:09:04,950 --> 01:09:02,480 that we are in the real world again and 1746 01:09:08,229 --> 01:09:04,960 so we would have to beam that those 1747 01:09:10,630 --> 01:09:08,239 pixels no longer onto a screen or even a 1748 01:09:13,510 --> 01:09:10,640 virtual reality glasses but we would 1749 01:09:15,990 --> 01:09:13,520 have to beam them into the mind itself 1750 01:09:17,990 --> 01:09:16,000 and so mine bought broadcast 1751 01:09:19,430 --> 01:09:18,000 and then we would have to 1752 01:09:21,430 --> 01:09:19,440 be able to 1753 01:09:23,430 --> 01:09:21,440 get the responses back for what you want 1754 01:09:25,510 --> 01:09:23,440 to do in that world so we would have to 1755 01:09:27,669 --> 01:09:25,520 read them now in the movie the matrix 1756 01:09:29,510 --> 01:09:27,679 right when neo woke up 1757 01:09:32,149 --> 01:09:29,520 he was in a pod 1758 01:09:33,829 --> 01:09:32,159 which had a uh a physical 1759 01:09:36,309 --> 01:09:33,839 connection in the back of his head in 1760 01:09:37,990 --> 01:09:36,319 the cerebral cortex and that's how they 1761 01:09:39,269 --> 01:09:38,000 jacked into the matrix 1762 01:09:41,110 --> 01:09:39,279 was through the physical world and so 1763 01:09:42,630 --> 01:09:41,120 that's technology that we're people are 1764 01:09:45,189 --> 01:09:42,640 still working on 1765 01:09:46,870 --> 01:09:45,199 this idea of brain computer interfaces 1766 01:09:49,269 --> 01:09:46,880 but it's actually a pretty 1767 01:09:50,390 --> 01:09:49,279 popular area right now and more and more 1768 01:09:52,309 --> 01:09:50,400 startups 1769 01:09:53,990 --> 01:09:52,319 including one funded by elon musk called 1770 01:09:56,630 --> 01:09:54,000 neuralink and one in boston called 1771 01:09:59,189 --> 01:09:56,640 mirable and and many others are are 1772 01:10:02,550 --> 01:09:59,199 starting to have technology developed so 1773 01:10:05,110 --> 01:10:02,560 you know we would be able at some point 1774 01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:05,120 within a decade two decades three 1775 01:10:09,350 --> 01:10:07,760 decades to be able to create 1776 01:10:11,669 --> 01:10:09,360 real simulations so i call this the 1777 01:10:13,990 --> 01:10:11,679 simulation point and there's about 10 1778 01:10:15,830 --> 01:10:14,000 stages i describe in the book to the 1779 01:10:17,990 --> 01:10:15,840 simulation point and once the 1780 01:10:19,110 --> 01:10:18,000 civilization gets there 1781 01:10:21,030 --> 01:10:19,120 right then we could do what you're 1782 01:10:22,790 --> 01:10:21,040 talking about which is i could then 1783 01:10:23,669 --> 01:10:22,800 download myself 1784 01:10:26,390 --> 01:10:23,679 into 1785 01:10:28,790 --> 01:10:26,400 another simulation now at some point 1786 01:10:31,750 --> 01:10:28,800 the resources 1787 01:10:33,669 --> 01:10:31,760 you know are limited and this is where 1788 01:10:36,310 --> 01:10:33,679 you know as you understand the computer 1789 01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:36,320 science uh you realize that it's all 1790 01:10:40,229 --> 01:10:37,199 about 1791 01:10:43,110 --> 01:10:40,239 optimizing limited resources and so some 1792 01:10:45,350 --> 01:10:43,120 people think that there is a limit to 1793 01:10:47,590 --> 01:10:45,360 how much we'll be able to simulate if 1794 01:10:49,990 --> 01:10:47,600 we're inside a simulation because we 1795 01:10:52,149 --> 01:10:50,000 only have the computing power of the 1796 01:10:54,310 --> 01:10:52,159 processors that are running 1797 01:10:55,990 --> 01:10:54,320 the simulation outside of 1798 01:10:58,550 --> 01:10:56,000 the one that we're in if that makes 1799 01:11:01,110 --> 01:10:58,560 sense right it does it does but when you 1800 01:11:03,510 --> 01:11:01,120 have uh you know like neil degrasse 1801 01:11:07,189 --> 01:11:03,520 tyson or brian greene 1802 01:11:08,870 --> 01:11:07,199 or ray kurzweil or or elon musk and 1803 01:11:11,430 --> 01:11:08,880 stephen hawking 1804 01:11:13,430 --> 01:11:11,440 uh suggesting this to everybody their 1805 01:11:15,910 --> 01:11:13,440 words have weight 1806 01:11:17,669 --> 01:11:15,920 right and the power of suggestion is 1807 01:11:19,990 --> 01:11:17,679 very very strong 1808 01:11:20,950 --> 01:11:20,000 and i have to ask what is it that they 1809 01:11:23,030 --> 01:11:20,960 know 1810 01:11:25,669 --> 01:11:23,040 that they fully understand and they 1811 01:11:29,110 --> 01:11:25,679 grasp that we don't when it comes to the 1812 01:11:31,750 --> 01:11:29,120 possibility of living in a simulation 1813 01:11:33,669 --> 01:11:31,760 well i think you know the physicists and 1814 01:11:35,750 --> 01:11:33,679 the technologists right again these are 1815 01:11:37,750 --> 01:11:35,760 considered separate fields 1816 01:11:39,030 --> 01:11:37,760 right computer science is 1817 01:11:41,750 --> 01:11:39,040 one field 1818 01:11:42,470 --> 01:11:41,760 and physics is another field 1819 01:11:44,229 --> 01:11:42,480 but 1820 01:11:47,189 --> 01:11:44,239 they're starting to see that they're 1821 01:11:50,950 --> 01:11:47,199 actually related right and particularly 1822 01:11:53,110 --> 01:11:50,960 with quantum computing you start to see 1823 01:11:55,189 --> 01:11:53,120 the convergence of basically every 1824 01:11:56,709 --> 01:11:55,199 single field into computer science or 1825 01:11:58,390 --> 01:11:56,719 information 1826 01:11:59,270 --> 01:11:58,400 there was a famous 1827 01:12:01,590 --> 01:11:59,280 um 1828 01:12:03,830 --> 01:12:01,600 there was a famous physicist named john 1829 01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:03,840 wheeler right who was involved in 1830 01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:05,760 everything from the discovery of 1831 01:12:09,910 --> 01:12:08,400 black holes to parallel universes 1832 01:12:12,310 --> 01:12:09,920 and other things and and in his 1833 01:12:15,430 --> 01:12:12,320 biography you know he 1834 01:12:17,350 --> 01:12:15,440 came up with this phrase it from bits 1835 01:12:19,750 --> 01:12:17,360 right where he basically said he went 1836 01:12:21,189 --> 01:12:19,760 through three phases of physics in his 1837 01:12:22,630 --> 01:12:21,199 long career and he was you know he 1838 01:12:25,189 --> 01:12:22,640 worked with he was like the last living 1839 01:12:27,270 --> 01:12:25,199 physicist to work with einstein and he 1840 01:12:29,510 --> 01:12:27,280 said in the in the first phase we all 1841 01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:29,520 thought that physics was about studying 1842 01:12:34,709 --> 01:12:32,960 matter particles actual physical objects 1843 01:12:35,990 --> 01:12:34,719 in the second phase which was some of 1844 01:12:38,149 --> 01:12:36,000 the quantum stuff that we'll talk about 1845 01:12:40,950 --> 01:12:38,159 in a minute he said well everything was 1846 01:12:43,430 --> 01:12:40,960 a field turns out it wasn't physical at 1847 01:12:45,590 --> 01:12:43,440 all it was a set of probabilities 1848 01:12:47,750 --> 01:12:45,600 and then later in the third state of his 1849 01:12:50,709 --> 01:12:47,760 career he realized that everything 1850 01:12:53,990 --> 01:12:50,719 was bits or information wasn't even a 1851 01:12:56,470 --> 01:12:54,000 field it was zeros or ones and so you 1852 01:12:57,189 --> 01:12:56,480 know if everything at its core 1853 01:12:59,830 --> 01:12:57,199 is 1854 01:13:02,149 --> 01:12:59,840 basically information then you can start 1855 01:13:04,470 --> 01:13:02,159 to do things like quantum teleportation 1856 01:13:05,910 --> 01:13:04,480 teleporting you know an object from one 1857 01:13:09,350 --> 01:13:05,920 place to another right now they've been 1858 01:13:12,229 --> 01:13:09,360 able to teleport the quantum state of a 1859 01:13:14,630 --> 01:13:12,239 photon or of an object somewhere else 1860 01:13:17,030 --> 01:13:14,640 but really it's the information 1861 01:13:19,110 --> 01:13:17,040 that gets transferred and and so i think 1862 01:13:20,790 --> 01:13:19,120 when when you know these physicists and 1863 01:13:23,430 --> 01:13:20,800 these technologists 1864 01:13:25,110 --> 01:13:23,440 are are are talking about this stuff you 1865 01:13:28,310 --> 01:13:25,120 know they're seeing that 1866 01:13:30,390 --> 01:13:28,320 that information is at the source of 1867 01:13:32,550 --> 01:13:30,400 underneath everything and that's why 1868 01:13:34,950 --> 01:13:32,560 they're taking it you know so seriously 1869 01:13:36,709 --> 01:13:34,960 i think and stephen hawking put it at 1870 01:13:38,070 --> 01:13:36,719 about a 50 50 1871 01:13:40,550 --> 01:13:38,080 you know chance that we're living inside 1872 01:13:42,390 --> 01:13:40,560 a simulation elon musk says it's about a 1873 01:13:44,310 --> 01:13:42,400 billion to one that we're inside of the 1874 01:13:46,229 --> 01:13:44,320 simulation meaning 1875 01:13:48,229 --> 01:13:46,239 that it's a billion that we are in fact 1876 01:13:51,430 --> 01:13:48,239 inside a simulation 1877 01:13:53,350 --> 01:13:51,440 don't we expect them uh to be 1878 01:13:56,870 --> 01:13:53,360 uh balanced 1879 01:13:59,669 --> 01:13:56,880 right you expect those very smart minds 1880 01:14:02,790 --> 01:13:59,679 not to go in this direction 1881 01:14:05,830 --> 01:14:02,800 but for them to go in this direction so 1882 01:14:07,350 --> 01:14:05,840 freely and to be accepting of this 1883 01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:07,360 possibility 1884 01:14:12,550 --> 01:14:09,520 uh really says something and it scares 1885 01:14:14,310 --> 01:14:12,560 us because you have the physical side 1886 01:14:15,750 --> 01:14:14,320 and the information side and you have 1887 01:14:17,830 --> 01:14:15,760 the conscious 1888 01:14:20,630 --> 01:14:17,840 side of things in consciousness 1889 01:14:21,350 --> 01:14:20,640 and is that the barrier it's one thing 1890 01:14:22,709 --> 01:14:21,360 to 1891 01:14:24,870 --> 01:14:22,719 uh 1892 01:14:25,990 --> 01:14:24,880 to get to the ones and zeroes of 1893 01:14:28,790 --> 01:14:26,000 memories 1894 01:14:30,790 --> 01:14:28,800 and stored stuff in our brains but then 1895 01:14:34,310 --> 01:14:30,800 we have the stuff that makes riz rizz 1896 01:14:36,709 --> 01:14:34,320 and jimmy jimmy and how does that get uh 1897 01:14:38,790 --> 01:14:36,719 moved over 1898 01:14:39,910 --> 01:14:38,800 yeah so you know again it depends on 1899 01:14:41,270 --> 01:14:39,920 your 1900 01:14:42,550 --> 01:14:41,280 interpretation of the simulation 1901 01:14:45,350 --> 01:14:42,560 hypothesis 1902 01:14:47,350 --> 01:14:45,360 you know as i said in in my case i tend 1903 01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:47,360 to view us as conscious beings outside 1904 01:14:52,390 --> 01:14:49,760 the simulation who are playing a 1905 01:14:54,630 --> 01:14:52,400 character within the simulation just 1906 01:14:57,350 --> 01:14:54,640 like going back to the tibetans when we 1907 01:14:59,990 --> 01:14:57,360 dream we have a body in the dream but 1908 01:15:02,790 --> 01:15:00,000 that's not really us right that's uh 1909 01:15:05,510 --> 01:15:02,800 inside the simulation now 1910 01:15:07,350 --> 01:15:05,520 one of the reasons that you know back in 1911 01:15:08,149 --> 01:15:07,360 20 years ago and in fact the matrix came 1912 01:15:11,910 --> 01:15:08,159 out 1913 01:15:14,630 --> 01:15:11,920 on march 31 1999 which is uh literally 1914 01:15:16,390 --> 01:15:14,640 20 years to the day that my book is 1915 01:15:18,149 --> 01:15:16,400 going to be released on march 31st in 1916 01:15:19,750 --> 01:15:18,159 about a week and a half here 1917 01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:19,760 but you know people didn't take it that 1918 01:15:24,709 --> 01:15:21,760 seriously at the time because the 1919 01:15:27,189 --> 01:15:24,719 technology wasn't there so i mentioned 1920 01:15:28,470 --> 01:15:27,199 earlier the uh oxford philosopher named 1921 01:15:30,470 --> 01:15:28,480 nick bostrom so he came out with a 1922 01:15:32,950 --> 01:15:30,480 simulation argument now he wasn't really 1923 01:15:34,229 --> 01:15:32,960 a video game guy or a computer guy so 1924 01:15:35,430 --> 01:15:34,239 you know all the stuff i talk about the 1925 01:15:39,030 --> 01:15:35,440 technology he doesn't really talk about 1926 01:15:41,350 --> 01:15:39,040 that but his argument was that suppose 1927 01:15:42,550 --> 01:15:41,360 a civilization somewhere 1928 01:15:45,030 --> 01:15:42,560 created 1929 01:15:45,910 --> 01:15:45,040 uh something like the matrix a simulated 1930 01:15:48,149 --> 01:15:45,920 world 1931 01:15:50,310 --> 01:15:48,159 uh in in my parlance i'd say they got to 1932 01:15:51,270 --> 01:15:50,320 the simulation point and he said in 1933 01:15:52,709 --> 01:15:51,280 order to 1934 01:15:54,790 --> 01:15:52,719 to have more beings they would just need 1935 01:15:58,070 --> 01:15:54,800 more servers so you could literally have 1936 01:15:59,510 --> 01:15:58,080 billions of of or trillions of beings 1937 01:16:01,830 --> 01:15:59,520 within these simulations you could have 1938 01:16:05,110 --> 01:16:01,840 billions of simulations with trillions 1939 01:16:07,110 --> 01:16:05,120 of beings inside them and so if you 1940 01:16:09,510 --> 01:16:07,120 counted up all the beings that were 1941 01:16:11,189 --> 01:16:09,520 inside the simulations and you counted 1942 01:16:12,470 --> 01:16:11,199 up all the beings that were outside the 1943 01:16:13,830 --> 01:16:12,480 simulation 1944 01:16:16,870 --> 01:16:13,840 clearly the number of beings in the 1945 01:16:19,669 --> 01:16:16,880 simulations is much more therefore 1946 01:16:20,470 --> 01:16:19,679 if any civilization ever gets to this 1947 01:16:22,550 --> 01:16:20,480 point 1948 01:16:23,830 --> 01:16:22,560 right anywhere in the galaxy you could 1949 01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:23,840 have a civilization that's a million 1950 01:16:28,310 --> 01:16:25,760 years ahead of us that is able to create 1951 01:16:29,990 --> 01:16:28,320 these kind of simulations then we are 1952 01:16:32,390 --> 01:16:30,000 more likely to be simulated beings 1953 01:16:34,790 --> 01:16:32,400 inside the simulation than an actual 1954 01:16:38,070 --> 01:16:34,800 biological being and so when he 1955 01:16:39,830 --> 01:16:38,080 published that paper in 2003 suddenly 1956 01:16:41,750 --> 01:16:39,840 you know all these smart people at 1957 01:16:44,310 --> 01:16:41,760 universities et cetera started to take 1958 01:16:45,990 --> 01:16:44,320 this idea more seriously neil degrasse 1959 01:16:47,669 --> 01:16:46,000 tyson says well you can't really argue 1960 01:16:49,750 --> 01:16:47,679 with the logic 1961 01:16:51,350 --> 01:16:49,760 even though it's a statistical argument 1962 01:16:53,270 --> 01:16:51,360 you know when i was back at mit we were 1963 01:16:56,390 --> 01:16:53,280 taught that science is really about 1964 01:16:58,470 --> 01:16:56,400 creating models of the world 1965 01:17:00,149 --> 01:16:58,480 and these models would have to explain 1966 01:17:01,270 --> 01:17:00,159 what happens we had the newtonian model 1967 01:17:03,189 --> 01:17:01,280 of the world 1968 01:17:05,350 --> 01:17:03,199 which was based on continuous motion and 1969 01:17:07,350 --> 01:17:05,360 solid objects and that worked for the 1970 01:17:10,149 --> 01:17:07,360 most part but it broke down when you 1971 01:17:12,790 --> 01:17:10,159 were going really fast or if you went to 1972 01:17:14,149 --> 01:17:12,800 really small subatomic levels 1973 01:17:16,149 --> 01:17:14,159 and then you know einstein came up with 1974 01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:16,159 interior relativity which works at fast 1975 01:17:20,470 --> 01:17:18,480 speeds and then quantum mechanics was a 1976 01:17:22,950 --> 01:17:20,480 model that came up when you look at what 1977 01:17:25,110 --> 01:17:22,960 happens at the subatomic state 1978 01:17:27,110 --> 01:17:25,120 but now this is a model 1979 01:17:28,950 --> 01:17:27,120 the simulation hypothesis 1980 01:17:30,950 --> 01:17:28,960 that i think explains 1981 01:17:32,870 --> 01:17:30,960 many more things about the physical 1982 01:17:35,110 --> 01:17:32,880 world and the conscious world and the 1983 01:17:36,470 --> 01:17:35,120 religious and spiritual world than any 1984 01:17:38,870 --> 01:17:36,480 model before 1985 01:17:40,870 --> 01:17:38,880 and so you know that's i i don't think a 1986 01:17:43,270 --> 01:17:40,880 lot of the physicists are quite there 1987 01:17:44,709 --> 01:17:43,280 yet and a lot of the academics right 1988 01:17:46,310 --> 01:17:44,719 that they're willing to debate the 1989 01:17:49,510 --> 01:17:46,320 statistical argument 1990 01:17:51,270 --> 01:17:49,520 or the ai argument that we're all ai i 1991 01:17:53,270 --> 01:17:51,280 don't think too many of them are yet at 1992 01:17:55,510 --> 01:17:53,280 the point of of saying well we're really 1993 01:17:58,070 --> 01:17:55,520 beaming our consciousness from another 1994 01:18:00,149 --> 01:17:58,080 universe or another uh 1995 01:18:02,550 --> 01:18:00,159 world beyond the physical but they're 1996 01:18:04,790 --> 01:18:02,560 getting there and and the more and more 1997 01:18:07,910 --> 01:18:04,800 that they find information is at the 1998 01:18:10,310 --> 01:18:07,920 heart of everything and you know i i 1999 01:18:12,070 --> 01:18:10,320 have been running a uh a video game 2000 01:18:13,110 --> 01:18:12,080 accelerator at mit for the last two 2001 01:18:15,590 --> 01:18:13,120 years and 2002 01:18:17,910 --> 01:18:15,600 you know for many years mit had you know 2003 01:18:20,630 --> 01:18:17,920 four colleges the college of engineering 2004 01:18:23,189 --> 01:18:20,640 college of business etc they just 2005 01:18:24,709 --> 01:18:23,199 introduced a new college which is all 2006 01:18:27,990 --> 01:18:24,719 about ai 2007 01:18:29,750 --> 01:18:28,000 and quantum computing uh as as a whole 2008 01:18:32,310 --> 01:18:29,760 new field in and of itself and they're 2009 01:18:34,070 --> 01:18:32,320 recognizing that all the other fields 2010 01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:34,080 are related to it 2011 01:18:40,390 --> 01:18:38,159 what was the video game that came out uh 2012 01:18:41,750 --> 01:18:40,400 it was about three or four years ago 2013 01:18:43,189 --> 01:18:41,760 uh where 2014 01:18:44,950 --> 01:18:43,199 you could go 2015 01:18:46,310 --> 01:18:44,960 and visit 2016 01:18:48,790 --> 01:18:46,320 uh any 2017 01:18:51,510 --> 01:18:48,800 any planet and and 2018 01:18:52,630 --> 01:18:51,520 it and it continued and rendered in real 2019 01:18:54,790 --> 01:18:52,640 time 2020 01:18:57,430 --> 01:18:54,800 yeah so there was a video game called no 2021 01:18:58,870 --> 01:18:57,440 man's sky yeah no man's sky came out 2022 01:19:02,550 --> 01:18:58,880 and it had 2023 01:19:03,910 --> 01:19:02,560 18 quintillion planets right and you 2024 01:19:07,590 --> 01:19:03,920 could go to those planets and you could 2025 01:19:09,910 --> 01:19:07,600 actually walk around in real time now 2026 01:19:11,669 --> 01:19:09,920 the team that built this they didn't sit 2027 01:19:13,189 --> 01:19:11,679 there and design 2028 01:19:15,510 --> 01:19:13,199 each planet 2029 01:19:17,830 --> 01:19:15,520 right right right turns out that if you 2030 01:19:19,910 --> 01:19:17,840 uh you know have 64 bits 2031 01:19:21,270 --> 01:19:19,920 and you say 2 to the 64th power turns 2032 01:19:23,750 --> 01:19:21,280 out to be exactly 2033 01:19:24,870 --> 01:19:23,760 18 quintillion that's why they had that 2034 01:19:26,390 --> 01:19:24,880 many 2035 01:19:30,229 --> 01:19:26,400 possible worlds but 2036 01:19:33,189 --> 01:19:30,239 what they would do is they would render 2037 01:19:34,950 --> 01:19:33,199 the flora and fauna of each world 2038 01:19:36,229 --> 01:19:34,960 based on different algorithms and so 2039 01:19:39,270 --> 01:19:36,239 many of your listeners have probably 2040 01:19:40,709 --> 01:19:39,280 heard of fractal algorithms that's right 2041 01:19:41,990 --> 01:19:40,719 and i've got some pictures in the book 2042 01:19:44,550 --> 01:19:42,000 and you can look online and you'll see 2043 01:19:48,149 --> 01:19:44,560 that you know fractal geometry 2044 01:19:50,149 --> 01:19:48,159 is a way of describing the natural world 2045 01:19:53,350 --> 01:19:50,159 which came out of you know this whole 2046 01:19:55,110 --> 01:19:53,360 idea of chaos theory and with there was 2047 01:19:55,990 --> 01:19:55,120 a guy named mandelbrot who asked a 2048 01:19:58,870 --> 01:19:56,000 question 2049 01:20:00,390 --> 01:19:58,880 that said how long is the coastline 2050 01:20:02,070 --> 01:20:00,400 well turns out 2051 01:20:03,830 --> 01:20:02,080 you can measure a coastline you know at 2052 01:20:06,470 --> 01:20:03,840 the level of miles and say it's you know 2053 01:20:08,630 --> 01:20:06,480 100 miles long but if you go in and you 2054 01:20:10,310 --> 01:20:08,640 zoom in you see the coastline is 2055 01:20:12,310 --> 01:20:10,320 actually kind of rocky and has nooks and 2056 01:20:14,390 --> 01:20:12,320 crannies so if you zoom in a little bit 2057 01:20:15,910 --> 01:20:14,400 turns out it's longer than 100 miles 2058 01:20:18,470 --> 01:20:15,920 well if you zoom in again you'll see 2059 01:20:20,390 --> 01:20:18,480 even more nooks and crannies and so 2060 01:20:21,270 --> 01:20:20,400 the answer depends 2061 01:20:23,990 --> 01:20:21,280 on 2062 01:20:25,830 --> 01:20:24,000 what scale you're looking at the world 2063 01:20:27,110 --> 01:20:25,840 turns out fractal algorithms are the 2064 01:20:29,750 --> 01:20:27,120 best way 2065 01:20:31,910 --> 01:20:29,760 to describe a lot of natural 2066 01:20:34,950 --> 01:20:31,920 processes whether it's veins or 2067 01:20:36,950 --> 01:20:34,960 tree-like structures or coastlines and 2068 01:20:39,270 --> 01:20:36,960 so you know many people have speculated 2069 01:20:40,229 --> 01:20:39,280 that what nature really is 2070 01:20:43,669 --> 01:20:40,239 is a 2071 01:20:45,189 --> 01:20:43,679 fractal algorithmic generating a machine 2072 01:20:46,870 --> 01:20:45,199 and that's you know that's why there's 2073 01:20:50,470 --> 01:20:46,880 no straight lines 2074 01:20:53,189 --> 01:20:50,480 in nature right everything uh is uh has 2075 01:20:55,030 --> 01:20:53,199 many dimensions and and so turns out 2076 01:20:57,510 --> 01:20:55,040 that the same techniques these guys were 2077 01:20:59,030 --> 01:20:57,520 using in no man's sky to generate all 2078 01:21:00,470 --> 01:20:59,040 the flora and vonna 2079 01:21:01,350 --> 01:21:00,480 there are people who seriously think 2080 01:21:06,870 --> 01:21:01,360 that 2081 01:21:09,990 --> 01:21:06,880 coastlines evolve in the physical world 2082 01:21:12,229 --> 01:21:10,000 is again based on these algorithmic 2083 01:21:14,709 --> 01:21:12,239 properties that that nature is using 2084 01:21:16,870 --> 01:21:14,719 algorithms so so you're kind of opening 2085 01:21:18,229 --> 01:21:16,880 up the physical world and realizing that 2086 01:21:19,910 --> 01:21:18,239 oh my god it's actually a computer 2087 01:21:21,990 --> 01:21:19,920 program in there and that's another 2088 01:21:24,870 --> 01:21:22,000 reason why people are starting to take 2089 01:21:27,030 --> 01:21:24,880 uh this idea more seriously now than 2090 01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:27,040 they did 10 years ago and certainly you 2091 01:21:30,950 --> 01:21:28,960 know then they did 20 years ago when the 2092 01:21:34,390 --> 01:21:30,960 matrix first came out yeah and that 2093 01:21:35,350 --> 01:21:34,400 would be an answer for the size of 2094 01:21:37,669 --> 01:21:35,360 uh 2095 01:21:40,470 --> 01:21:37,679 what consciousness would be right it'd 2096 01:21:43,510 --> 01:21:40,480 be a huge number uh as far as ones and 2097 01:21:45,910 --> 01:21:43,520 zeros go be a complex but if it is 2098 01:21:48,950 --> 01:21:45,920 derived in render 2099 01:21:51,030 --> 01:21:48,960 right and with with fractal algorithms 2100 01:21:54,149 --> 01:21:51,040 you don't need a huge ch everybody 2101 01:21:56,790 --> 01:21:54,159 wouldn't be a huge chunk of code 2102 01:21:58,310 --> 01:21:56,800 right your reality in the in a 2103 01:22:00,629 --> 01:21:58,320 simulation 2104 01:22:02,629 --> 01:22:00,639 could be rendered as your day moves 2105 01:22:04,629 --> 01:22:02,639 along 2106 01:22:05,430 --> 01:22:04,639 that's right and so you know 2107 01:22:06,629 --> 01:22:05,440 uh 2108 01:22:08,950 --> 01:22:06,639 let's talk a little bit about how 2109 01:22:10,950 --> 01:22:08,960 rendering is done in video games right 2110 01:22:13,430 --> 01:22:10,960 so if you're in the sims 2111 01:22:14,470 --> 01:22:13,440 right you're seeing a room well that 2112 01:22:17,189 --> 01:22:14,480 room 2113 01:22:20,070 --> 01:22:17,199 is a set of 3d models that describe the 2114 01:22:22,310 --> 01:22:20,080 shapes of everything in that room 2115 01:22:24,870 --> 01:22:22,320 right and then 2116 01:22:27,430 --> 01:22:24,880 your computer renders 2117 01:22:29,910 --> 01:22:27,440 that room from your point of view 2118 01:22:32,070 --> 01:22:29,920 so it only renders the things that you 2119 01:22:34,629 --> 01:22:32,080 can see right so if there was you know 2120 01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:34,639 creature facing the other way 2121 01:22:39,189 --> 01:22:37,600 well you can't necessarily see its face 2122 01:22:39,990 --> 01:22:39,199 initially right you can only see its 2123 01:22:41,669 --> 01:22:40,000 back 2124 01:22:43,669 --> 01:22:41,679 and if there was a flower but it was 2125 01:22:46,470 --> 01:22:43,679 underneath the table you couldn't see 2126 01:22:48,790 --> 01:22:46,480 the flower well when when people were 2127 01:22:51,189 --> 01:22:48,800 first building video games 2128 01:22:53,430 --> 01:22:51,199 they thought it was impossible to 2129 01:22:56,229 --> 01:22:53,440 render all the pixels that you would 2130 01:22:58,149 --> 01:22:56,239 need for fully 3d environments immersive 2131 01:22:59,590 --> 01:22:58,159 environments that's a lot of pixels you 2132 01:23:02,070 --> 01:22:59,600 think about it 2133 01:23:04,790 --> 01:23:02,080 turns out doom was the first video game 2134 01:23:07,189 --> 01:23:04,800 that really was popular that was using 2135 01:23:09,830 --> 01:23:07,199 this idea of a 3d perspective and you 2136 01:23:12,550 --> 01:23:09,840 could look around very quickly as a 2137 01:23:14,310 --> 01:23:12,560 first person shooter and it would adjust 2138 01:23:17,030 --> 01:23:14,320 automatically and that was because they 2139 01:23:19,430 --> 01:23:17,040 rendered only that which needs 2140 01:23:22,149 --> 01:23:19,440 that which is being observed so that's 2141 01:23:24,950 --> 01:23:22,159 kind of the golden rule when it comes to 2142 01:23:27,189 --> 01:23:24,960 video game environments is render only 2143 01:23:29,350 --> 01:23:27,199 that which you can observe or you can 2144 01:23:31,910 --> 01:23:29,360 see from your point of view 2145 01:23:33,430 --> 01:23:31,920 okay and so now we're getting into 2146 01:23:35,110 --> 01:23:33,440 the physics 2147 01:23:36,310 --> 01:23:35,120 right and so one of the biggest 2148 01:23:38,629 --> 01:23:36,320 mysteries 2149 01:23:40,709 --> 01:23:38,639 in quantum physics is this idea 2150 01:23:42,870 --> 01:23:40,719 of quantum indeterminacy and then the 2151 01:23:45,270 --> 01:23:42,880 idea is that um 2152 01:23:46,390 --> 01:23:45,280 say that again say that again what's the 2153 01:23:49,270 --> 01:23:46,400 word 2154 01:23:50,550 --> 01:23:49,280 quantum indeterminacy okay which uh 2155 01:23:52,070 --> 01:23:50,560 probably the easiest way to understand 2156 01:23:54,310 --> 01:23:52,080 it although you know physicists talk 2157 01:23:57,189 --> 01:23:54,320 about it at the level of a particle 2158 01:23:59,030 --> 01:23:57,199 and says where is this particle and is 2159 01:24:03,270 --> 01:23:59,040 it a a wave 2160 01:24:05,430 --> 01:24:03,280 or is it a a particle and but you know 2161 01:24:06,709 --> 01:24:05,440 easier i think to understand it at the 2162 01:24:08,790 --> 01:24:06,719 idea of 2163 01:24:11,030 --> 01:24:08,800 schrodinger's you know infamous cat 2164 01:24:14,709 --> 01:24:11,040 right many of us have heard of that 2165 01:24:17,510 --> 01:24:14,719 and the cat is a is in a box 2166 01:24:19,590 --> 01:24:17,520 that has some radioactive decay and 2167 01:24:21,669 --> 01:24:19,600 there's about a fifty percent chance 2168 01:24:24,149 --> 01:24:21,679 that the cat is alive or dead 2169 01:24:25,669 --> 01:24:24,159 and so what you know uh schrodinger said 2170 01:24:27,590 --> 01:24:25,679 was 2171 01:24:29,590 --> 01:24:27,600 we don't know 2172 01:24:32,310 --> 01:24:29,600 if the cat is alive or dead until we 2173 01:24:33,830 --> 01:24:32,320 open the box but it turns out the cat is 2174 01:24:35,110 --> 01:24:33,840 both alive 2175 01:24:37,830 --> 01:24:35,120 and dead 2176 01:24:39,990 --> 01:24:37,840 until we open the box and actually 2177 01:24:41,830 --> 01:24:40,000 observe it now common sense would tell 2178 01:24:43,910 --> 01:24:41,840 us that's not the case common sense 2179 01:24:45,590 --> 01:24:43,920 tells us either the cat is alive or dead 2180 01:24:47,669 --> 01:24:45,600 already just because we can't see it in 2181 01:24:48,870 --> 01:24:47,679 the box it has to be one or the other 2182 01:24:51,430 --> 01:24:48,880 right 2183 01:24:53,590 --> 01:24:51,440 well the quantum physicists have found 2184 01:24:54,870 --> 01:24:53,600 and this is like you know a fundamental 2185 01:24:57,669 --> 01:24:54,880 finding 2186 01:24:59,590 --> 01:24:57,679 of how the universe works is that until 2187 01:25:00,790 --> 01:24:59,600 somebody actually opens the box and 2188 01:25:04,629 --> 01:25:00,800 observes it 2189 01:25:06,550 --> 01:25:04,639 that the cat is neither alive nor dead 2190 01:25:08,390 --> 01:25:06,560 it gets rendered 2191 01:25:12,390 --> 01:25:08,400 based upon 2192 01:25:14,790 --> 01:25:12,400 who observes it at that point in time 2193 01:25:16,550 --> 01:25:14,800 uh and so that is also you know the the 2194 01:25:18,070 --> 01:25:16,560 basis of what they called a 2195 01:25:19,590 --> 01:25:18,080 the double slit experiment where they're 2196 01:25:21,110 --> 01:25:19,600 shooting particles through these two 2197 01:25:23,030 --> 01:25:21,120 slits and they say 2198 01:25:24,709 --> 01:25:23,040 if it's a wave it'll have an 2199 01:25:26,550 --> 01:25:24,719 interference pattern you know on this 2200 01:25:29,590 --> 01:25:26,560 screen beyond the slits and if it's a 2201 01:25:32,149 --> 01:25:29,600 particle it'll go to a specific point 2202 01:25:34,790 --> 01:25:32,159 well turns out it's not until somebody 2203 01:25:37,430 --> 01:25:34,800 observes it that it takes on 2204 01:25:39,910 --> 01:25:37,440 a specific position right before that 2205 01:25:42,790 --> 01:25:39,920 it's what's called a superposition which 2206 01:25:43,990 --> 01:25:42,800 means like the cat is alive or dead 2207 01:25:45,910 --> 01:25:44,000 and so 2208 01:25:47,189 --> 01:25:45,920 you know the big question in physics is 2209 01:25:50,070 --> 01:25:47,199 why would it 2210 01:25:52,470 --> 01:25:50,080 why would the universe work in this way 2211 01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:52,480 that somebody has to sit there 2212 01:25:57,030 --> 01:25:55,360 and observe something in order for the 2213 01:25:58,709 --> 01:25:57,040 path of the particle 2214 01:26:00,709 --> 01:25:58,719 to be rendered 2215 01:26:02,310 --> 01:26:00,719 and it turns out there's also something 2216 01:26:04,070 --> 01:26:02,320 called the delayed choice experiment 2217 01:26:05,030 --> 01:26:04,080 where the particle goes through the 2218 01:26:06,709 --> 01:26:05,040 slits 2219 01:26:08,550 --> 01:26:06,719 and then it goes and does a whole bunch 2220 01:26:11,270 --> 01:26:08,560 of other things like it could go up to a 2221 01:26:13,750 --> 01:26:11,280 satellite a thousand miles away and only 2222 01:26:16,629 --> 01:26:13,760 then is it observed but turns out the 2223 01:26:17,750 --> 01:26:16,639 path is not solid until the observation 2224 01:26:20,310 --> 01:26:17,760 happens 2225 01:26:23,270 --> 01:26:20,320 well now we tie back to the rendering of 2226 01:26:24,310 --> 01:26:23,280 video games right the cardinal rule was 2227 01:26:25,830 --> 01:26:24,320 what 2228 01:26:27,590 --> 01:26:25,840 only render 2229 01:26:29,189 --> 01:26:27,600 that's what you see 2230 01:26:31,669 --> 01:26:29,199 right right and that turns out to be the 2231 01:26:33,030 --> 01:26:31,679 cardinal rule within quantum physics is 2232 01:26:35,510 --> 01:26:33,040 only render 2233 01:26:37,350 --> 01:26:35,520 that which is being observed which you 2234 01:26:39,110 --> 01:26:37,360 know is why you know 2235 01:26:41,189 --> 01:26:39,120 the simulation hypothesis starts to make 2236 01:26:42,950 --> 01:26:41,199 a lot more sense when you look at it in 2237 01:26:44,149 --> 01:26:42,960 terms of quantum physics and how it 2238 01:26:46,470 --> 01:26:44,159 works 2239 01:26:48,390 --> 01:26:46,480 let's take a break right here and i'm 2240 01:26:51,270 --> 01:26:48,400 looking at uh it's so funny i'm looking 2241 01:26:53,430 --> 01:26:51,280 at the comments and uh 2242 01:26:55,990 --> 01:26:53,440 somebody just said my brain hurts 2243 01:26:59,750 --> 01:26:56,000 it's a heavy it's a it's a heavy heavy 2244

something here if one 2396 01:34:11,750 --> 01:34:08,639 of the benefits of 2397 01:34:13,270 --> 01:34:11,760 uh downloading ourselves or living in a 2398 01:34:14,390 --> 01:34:13,280 simulation 2399 01:34:16,550 --> 01:34:14,400 would be 2400 01:34:19,270 --> 01:34:16,560 immortality and i would say that that 2401 01:34:21,189 --> 01:34:19,280 would be if i was a billionaire if i was 2402 01:34:24,950 --> 01:34:21,199 a billionaire i wouldn't have an issue 2403 01:34:26,070 --> 01:34:24,960 with downloading myself into a a bot a 2404 01:34:29,590 --> 01:34:26,080 robot 2405 01:34:30,950 --> 01:34:29,600 um and and living forever but if that is 2406 01:34:33,750 --> 01:34:30,960 the case 2407 01:34:37,830 --> 01:34:33,760 then why if we're living in a simulation 2408 01:34:40,310 --> 01:34:37,840 why do we die in this simulation 2409 01:34:43,110 --> 01:34:40,320 well you know that's a 2410 01:34:45,270 --> 01:34:43,120 a big heavy loaded question right right 2411 01:34:47,270 --> 01:34:45,280 but uh you know 2412 01:34:49,910 --> 01:34:47,280 uh if you look at video games uh you 2413 01:34:51,910 --> 01:34:49,920 know they have this idea of multiple 2414 01:34:53,910 --> 01:34:51,920 lives right so you're able to go through 2415 01:34:56,390 --> 01:34:53,920 a character you're able to get to a 2416 01:34:58,229 --> 01:34:56,400 certain point and then you know the 2417 01:35:00,390 --> 01:34:58,239 character can die in the game because if 2418 01:35:01,910 --> 01:35:00,400 there's no consequences 2419 01:35:05,430 --> 01:35:01,920 of the actions 2420 01:35:08,470 --> 01:35:05,440 then you're not really taking uh that 2421 01:35:10,709 --> 01:35:08,480 video game or that character's actions 2422 01:35:11,990 --> 01:35:10,719 very seriously and we all do we all do 2423 01:35:15,270 --> 01:35:12,000 that when we 2424 01:35:17,830 --> 01:35:15,280 when we upload a cheat right insert some 2425 01:35:21,030 --> 01:35:17,840 kind of infinite life cheat 2426 01:35:23,430 --> 01:35:21,040 the game doesn't have any more impact 2427 01:35:25,910 --> 01:35:23,440 that's right exactly at that point the 2428 01:35:28,709 --> 01:35:25,920 game becomes too easy right so it's the 2429 01:35:31,510 --> 01:35:28,719 same with why many gamers don't like you 2430 01:35:32,950 --> 01:35:31,520 know pay to win types of games right if 2431 01:35:34,310 --> 01:35:32,960 they just pay money and then you don't 2432 01:35:36,229 --> 01:35:34,320 have to go through the process of 2433 01:35:38,470 --> 01:35:36,239 learning how to play the game and to 2434 01:35:39,270 --> 01:35:38,480 really build your expertise and so you 2435 01:35:41,189 --> 01:35:39,280 know 2436 01:35:43,350 --> 01:35:41,199 as we get into the why right now we're 2437 01:35:45,669 --> 01:35:43,360 we're backing up from the science to the 2438 01:35:48,149 --> 01:35:45,679 philosophy and the religion to say you 2439 01:35:49,510 --> 01:35:48,159 know why is that the case you know 2440 01:35:51,350 --> 01:35:49,520 again in most of the religious 2441 01:35:53,990 --> 01:35:51,360 traditions they talk about this being a 2442 01:35:55,910 --> 01:35:54,000 school or a training ground 2443 01:35:58,390 --> 01:35:55,920 while we're here 2444 01:35:59,910 --> 01:35:58,400 to learn certain things about ourselves 2445 01:36:01,669 --> 01:35:59,920 and to evolve 2446 01:36:04,550 --> 01:36:01,679 as souls 2447 01:36:07,350 --> 01:36:04,560 and keeping a list of of all the karmic 2448 01:36:09,270 --> 01:36:07,360 tasks that we have to do well if there 2449 01:36:10,950 --> 01:36:09,280 weren't consequences to what you did 2450 01:36:12,870 --> 01:36:10,960 here if there weren't rules that you had 2451 01:36:14,390 --> 01:36:12,880 to follow you know then we wouldn't take 2452 01:36:17,430 --> 01:36:14,400 it that seriously at all so that would 2453 01:36:19,510 --> 01:36:17,440 be my my answer for for the why but 2454 01:36:22,070 --> 01:36:19,520 obviously that's an area of a lot of 2455 01:36:24,550 --> 01:36:22,080 speculation would you download would you 2456 01:36:25,990 --> 01:36:24,560 upload yourself 2457 01:36:27,830 --> 01:36:26,000 into a 2458 01:36:29,750 --> 01:36:27,840 well yeah would you do it 2459 01:36:30,550 --> 01:36:29,760 into a digital device yeah would you do 2460 01:36:32,390 --> 01:36:30,560 it 2461 01:36:34,950 --> 01:36:32,400 and this is an interesting philosophical 2462 01:36:37,030 --> 01:36:34,960 question because it is the transhumanist 2463 01:36:39,750 --> 01:36:37,040 movement right in silicon valley and 2464 01:36:42,629 --> 01:36:39,760 beyond is very much about how do i 2465 01:36:44,070 --> 01:36:42,639 downline myself onto a silicon device 2466 01:36:45,270 --> 01:36:44,080 the question 2467 01:36:47,430 --> 01:36:45,280 is 2468 01:36:49,430 --> 01:36:47,440 you know with the way that we've defined 2469 01:36:51,830 --> 01:36:49,440 bits and i talked about quantum 2470 01:36:53,270 --> 01:36:51,840 teleportation earlier right which was 2471 01:36:56,390 --> 01:36:53,280 this idea of 2472 01:36:57,830 --> 01:36:56,400 teleporting a particle from here to say 2473 01:36:59,669 --> 01:36:57,840 in outer space 2474 01:37:01,189 --> 01:36:59,679 what they're really transporting is the 2475 01:37:03,750 --> 01:37:01,199 quantum state 2476 01:37:05,430 --> 01:37:03,760 like that's as far as we've got we we 2477 01:37:07,430 --> 01:37:05,440 aren't actually trans 2478 01:37:10,070 --> 01:37:07,440 transmitting or teleporting the actual 2479 01:37:12,390 --> 01:37:10,080 particle yet so the question is 2480 01:37:15,030 --> 01:37:12,400 is it the same particle 2481 01:37:17,109 --> 01:37:15,040 if it has the same quantum state 2482 01:37:19,910 --> 01:37:17,119 nobody knows the answer to that question 2483 01:37:22,709 --> 01:37:19,920 so is it the same person 2484 01:37:25,590 --> 01:37:22,719 if you you were to simulate your 2485 01:37:28,390 --> 01:37:25,600 consciousness and put it onto a silicon 2486 01:37:29,510 --> 01:37:28,400 device or is it a copy of your 2487 01:37:30,950 --> 01:37:29,520 consciousness 2488 01:37:31,910 --> 01:37:30,960 right and this is where we get into 2489 01:37:34,390 --> 01:37:31,920 these 2490 01:37:36,229 --> 01:37:34,400 about 2491 01:37:38,870 --> 01:37:36,239 you know are we conscious beings outside 2492 01:37:41,189 --> 01:37:38,880 of our simulation and and we would we 2493 01:37:42,790 --> 01:37:41,199 just simply be cut creating kind of a 2494 01:37:45,109 --> 01:37:42,800 snapshot 2495 01:37:46,790 --> 01:37:45,119 of our current consciousness so a lot of 2496 01:37:48,390 --> 01:37:46,800 scientists believe that it's just a 2497 01:37:51,590 --> 01:37:48,400 matter of 2498 01:37:53,430 --> 01:37:51,600 uh simulating all the neurons 2499 01:37:55,109 --> 01:37:53,440 and there's a very big number of neurons 2500 01:37:57,350 --> 01:37:55,119 in the brain and the connections between 2501 01:37:58,950 --> 01:37:57,360 the neurons and so far like there's a 2502 01:38:01,270 --> 01:37:58,960 group at mit that 2503 01:38:03,669 --> 01:38:01,280 and other places that have simulated the 2504 01:38:05,350 --> 01:38:03,679 neurons of a rats brain which is you 2505 01:38:07,270 --> 01:38:05,360 know much smaller number of neurons and 2506 01:38:09,590 --> 01:38:07,280 a much smaller number of connections 2507 01:38:11,189 --> 01:38:09,600 and then we have in in the human brain 2508 01:38:13,270 --> 01:38:11,199 and so we haven't gotten to the point of 2509 01:38:14,870 --> 01:38:13,280 having enough computing power to be able 2510 01:38:17,109 --> 01:38:14,880 to do that but they think that's all you 2511 01:38:21,270 --> 01:38:17,119 need to do is exactly simulate all the 2512 01:38:22,229 --> 01:38:21,280 firing of the neurons and therefore you 2513 01:38:24,550 --> 01:38:22,239 have 2514 01:38:26,790 --> 01:38:24,560 that person living forever but i think 2515 01:38:28,709 --> 01:38:26,800 it's an open question as to whether that 2516 01:38:31,990 --> 01:38:28,719 really is that person or not 2517 01:38:37,510 --> 01:38:34,629 you dodged the question 2518 01:38:39,510 --> 01:38:37,520 okay let's would you do it 2519 01:38:41,750 --> 01:38:39,520 if everything was right and somebody 2520 01:38:45,270 --> 01:38:41,760 said okay we've got a hundred percent 2521 01:38:47,030 --> 01:38:45,280 probability that you're gonna be okay 2522 01:38:48,709 --> 01:38:47,040 do you pull the trigger would you would 2523 01:38:50,629 --> 01:38:48,719 you go for it 2524 01:38:52,550 --> 01:38:50,639 well you know i don't know because 2525 01:38:53,750 --> 01:38:52,560 i tend to already believe that we live 2526 01:38:57,430 --> 01:38:53,760 forever 2527 01:38:59,350 --> 01:38:57,440 outside of this simulation right so you 2528 01:39:01,270 --> 01:38:59,360 know do i need to be 2529 01:39:05,109 --> 01:39:01,280 resverk for the next 2530 01:39:09,030 --> 01:39:05,119 million years or can i go back uh and 2531 01:39:10,229 --> 01:39:09,040 reincarnate yeah the player that that is 2532 01:39:13,669 --> 01:39:10,239 currently 2533 01:39:16,070 --> 01:39:13,679 uh downloaded into rizver so your answer 2534 01:39:18,470 --> 01:39:16,080 is no you wouldn't do it my answer is 2535 01:39:20,950 --> 01:39:18,480 probably not yeah i don't think it's 2536 01:39:22,550 --> 01:39:20,960 quite as easy as as these people okay 2537 01:39:24,390 --> 01:39:22,560 getting back to science fiction there 2538 01:39:26,550 --> 01:39:24,400 was a great show a few years ago uh 2539 01:39:28,550 --> 01:39:26,560 called fringe 2540 01:39:30,709 --> 01:39:28,560 saw that yep and they had this idea of 2541 01:39:31,830 --> 01:39:30,719 parallel worlds and you know if we want 2542 01:39:34,870 --> 01:39:31,840 to get more into physics we can talk 2543 01:39:37,669 --> 01:39:34,880 about parallel worlds but at one point 2544 01:39:39,270 --> 01:39:37,679 they were trying to transmit uh william 2545 01:39:40,390 --> 01:39:39,280 bell who was a character played by 2546 01:39:43,109 --> 01:39:40,400 leonard nimoy 2547 01:39:43,990 --> 01:39:43,119 his consciousness onto a silicon device 2548 01:39:46,470 --> 01:39:44,000 right 2549 01:39:49,030 --> 01:39:46,480 which they did they actually did 2550 01:39:51,430 --> 01:39:49,040 and if you remember in fringe let's 2551 01:39:55,030 --> 01:39:51,440 let's stay focused on this you remember 2552 01:39:58,149 --> 01:39:55,040 they did about uh a half a season 2553 01:40:00,870 --> 01:39:59,030 yeah 2554 01:40:02,709 --> 01:40:00,880 do you remember that i don't remember 2555 01:40:03,750 --> 01:40:02,719 the animation part it was like it was a 2556 01:40:06,390 --> 01:40:03,760 cartoon 2557 01:40:09,109 --> 01:40:06,400 it was a actual they were living in a 2558 01:40:11,030 --> 01:40:09,119 simulation they were living in a cartoon 2559 01:40:13,430 --> 01:40:11,040 and it just straight out of warner 2560 01:40:15,430 --> 01:40:13,440 brothers right disney and 2561 01:40:16,870 --> 01:40:15,440 and william bell's character leonard 2562 01:40:19,350 --> 01:40:16,880 nimoy 2563 01:40:23,430 --> 01:40:19,360 and by the end of the season when they 2564 01:40:26,709 --> 01:40:23,440 finally got out of the uh simulated 2565 01:40:29,270 --> 01:40:26,719 world you were so acclimated to it 2566 01:40:31,350 --> 01:40:29,280 that you didn't mind it not being and it 2567 01:40:32,950 --> 01:40:31,360 was really really really well done that 2568 01:40:34,790 --> 01:40:32,960 concept 2569 01:40:37,030 --> 01:40:34,800 it was and i think they were one of the 2570 01:40:38,629 --> 01:40:37,040 best representations of parallel worlds 2571 01:40:40,149 --> 01:40:38,639 but if you remember when they tried to 2572 01:40:42,310 --> 01:40:40,159 download his consciousness under the 2573 01:40:44,149 --> 01:40:42,320 silicon it actually didn't work what 2574 01:40:45,990 --> 01:40:44,159 happened was his consciousness got 2575 01:40:48,390 --> 01:40:46,000 downloaded to the nearest biological 2576 01:40:50,629 --> 01:40:48,400 entity which was the character olivia 2577 01:40:53,109 --> 01:40:50,639 dunham yes right 2578 01:40:55,669 --> 01:40:53,119 and so she ended up being william bell 2579 01:40:57,590 --> 01:40:55,679 right speaking and she was well done she 2580 01:40:58,709 --> 01:40:57,600 was speaking like leonard nimoy it was 2581 01:41:01,189 --> 01:40:58,719 pretty cool 2582 01:41:02,629 --> 01:41:01,199 right and so now we're tying science 2583 01:41:03,990 --> 01:41:02,639 fiction 2584 01:41:06,390 --> 01:41:04,000 back to this idea of downloading of 2585 01:41:08,950 --> 01:41:06,400 consciousness back to the tibetan yogis 2586 01:41:10,709 --> 01:41:08,960 that i talked about earlier which he was 2587 01:41:12,149 --> 01:41:10,719 you know they were able to download 2588 01:41:15,109 --> 01:41:12,159 their consciousness onto another 2589 01:41:16,629 --> 01:41:15,119 biological entity uh so you know i think 2590 01:41:18,149 --> 01:41:16,639 we're a little bit further away from 2591 01:41:20,709 --> 01:41:18,159 being able to download our consciousness 2592 01:41:22,310 --> 01:41:20,719 into a silicon device than many people 2593 01:41:23,590 --> 01:41:22,320 think but 2594 01:41:25,910 --> 01:41:23,600 you know as we start to think of 2595 01:41:27,189 --> 01:41:25,920 biological computers that's where it 2596 01:41:29,430 --> 01:41:27,199 starts to get interesting and that's 2597 01:41:30,790 --> 01:41:29,440 where it seems to be more consistent 2598 01:41:32,310 --> 01:41:30,800 with you know what the ancient 2599 01:41:35,669 --> 01:41:32,320 traditions have been telling us as well 2600 01:41:38,390 --> 01:41:35,679 so you know i probably wouldn't but 2601 01:41:39,830 --> 01:41:38,400 even if i did i think it would you know 2602 01:41:42,070 --> 01:41:39,840 this this question of whether it's 2603 01:41:44,229 --> 01:41:42,080 really me or a copy of me 2604 01:41:46,470 --> 01:41:44,239 is an interesting one right well it 2605 01:41:50,629 --> 01:41:46,480 would be a way to 2606 01:41:52,390 --> 01:41:50,639 uh solve traveling uh to the stars and 2607 01:41:54,870 --> 01:41:52,400 interstellar travel 2608 01:41:56,470 --> 01:41:54,880 if you could exist uh you know in in 2609 01:41:57,750 --> 01:41:56,480 that world where you don't have to worry 2610 01:42:01,030 --> 01:41:57,760 about food 2611 01:42:02,229 --> 01:42:01,040 you know water oxygen and dying for that 2612 01:42:04,229 --> 01:42:02,239 matter 2613 01:42:06,310 --> 01:42:04,239 right so on the one hand it becomes a 2614 01:42:07,910 --> 01:42:06,320 way for you for us to travel the stars 2615 01:42:10,229 --> 01:42:07,920 if it's going to take so long to get 2616 01:42:11,750 --> 01:42:10,239 there and you know a big part of the 2617 01:42:13,350 --> 01:42:11,760 book also talks about different science 2618 01:42:15,189 --> 01:42:13,360 fiction and 2619 01:42:17,669 --> 01:42:15,199 you know there was this uh 2620 01:42:19,109 --> 01:42:17,679 uh netflix series that some of your 2621 01:42:21,030 --> 01:42:19,119 viewers may have seen or listeners may 2622 01:42:22,790 --> 01:42:21,040 have seen called altered carbon logged 2623 01:42:24,550 --> 01:42:22,800 it was based on a series of cyberpunk 2624 01:42:26,950 --> 01:42:24,560 novels that's right and 2625 01:42:29,189 --> 01:42:26,960 they had uh what they called a stack 2626 01:42:30,870 --> 01:42:29,199 which was a cortical stack that was in 2627 01:42:32,790 --> 01:42:30,880 you know stuck into 2628 01:42:34,550 --> 01:42:32,800 the back of your neck and your 2629 01:42:36,229 --> 01:42:34,560 consciousness could be downloaded it was 2630 01:42:38,070 --> 01:42:36,239 in that stack so you could pull it out 2631 01:42:39,910 --> 01:42:38,080 and put it into another body 2632 01:42:41,990 --> 01:42:39,920 and you were now inside this other 2633 01:42:43,350 --> 01:42:42,000 person's body so you start to get into 2634 01:42:45,270 --> 01:42:43,360 this idea of 2635 01:42:46,870 --> 01:42:45,280 what is really you 2636 01:42:48,629 --> 01:42:46,880 you know is it the information stored in 2637 01:42:50,629 --> 01:42:48,639 this device and and they would beam 2638 01:42:52,709 --> 01:42:50,639 themselves right to another planet 2639 01:42:53,669 --> 01:42:52,719 that's how they travel to another planet 2640 01:42:55,669 --> 01:42:53,679 quickly 2641 01:42:57,830 --> 01:42:55,679 uh was that they would beam themselves 2642 01:42:59,910 --> 01:42:57,840 into another cortical stack because it 2643 01:43:01,830 --> 01:42:59,920 was just information you know in that 2644 01:43:03,910 --> 01:43:01,840 device and then they would be in another 2645 01:43:05,350 --> 01:43:03,920 body and there automatically and so 2646 01:43:07,669 --> 01:43:05,360 that's how they got around this problem 2647 01:43:10,149 --> 01:43:07,679 of you know it takes so long to try to 2648 01:43:11,910 --> 01:43:10,159 travel between stars well and and 2649 01:43:13,590 --> 01:43:11,920 staying on the science fiction side 2650 01:43:16,550 --> 01:43:13,600 because when you look at 2651 01:43:18,310 --> 01:43:16,560 not only philip k dick who 2652 01:43:19,830 --> 01:43:18,320 absolutely 2653 01:43:23,189 --> 01:43:19,840 wrote a 2654 01:43:25,669 --> 01:43:23,199 short story and novel after novel about 2655 01:43:28,390 --> 01:43:25,679 exactly this not only simulation but 2656 01:43:30,950 --> 01:43:28,400 parallel worlds and right now we've got 2657 01:43:33,270 --> 01:43:30,960 uh what's that new series uh the man in 2658 01:43:35,270 --> 01:43:33,280 the high castle right so that that's out 2659 01:43:37,669 --> 01:43:35,280 there we've got counterpart 2660 01:43:39,750 --> 01:43:37,679 counterpart which is really really good 2661 01:43:42,470 --> 01:43:39,760 i don't know it's on showtime or hbo i 2662 01:43:44,470 --> 01:43:42,480 can't remember and we just stuff stars 2663 01:43:46,550 --> 01:43:44,480 yeah yeah starts it's on starts and it's 2664 01:43:48,870 --> 01:43:46,560 it's it's really really good okay you 2665 01:43:50,390 --> 01:43:48,880 just mentioned fringe and then 2666 01:43:53,669 --> 01:43:50,400 we're talking about the matrix but we 2667 01:43:56,070 --> 01:43:53,679 can go all the way back to the holodeck 2668 01:43:58,229 --> 01:43:56,080 right and and living in and the way that 2669 01:44:01,350 --> 01:43:58,239 orville uh presents it they've got the 2670 01:44:03,189 --> 01:44:01,360 semi simulation room so it seems it's 2671 01:44:04,870 --> 01:44:03,199 seen exactly you know that's when i 2672 01:44:07,830 --> 01:44:04,880 first started to think a little bit more 2673 01:44:10,390 --> 01:44:07,840 seriously about this uh was when i saw 2674 01:44:12,950 --> 01:44:10,400 star trek and the holodeck 2675 01:44:15,030 --> 01:44:12,960 and there was one episode early on i 2676 01:44:17,189 --> 01:44:15,040 remember it kind of blew my mind where 2677 01:44:19,750 --> 01:44:17,199 they were doing a sherlock holmes 2678 01:44:21,430 --> 01:44:19,760 simulation in the holodeck and one of 2679 01:44:24,149 --> 01:44:21,440 the characters 2680 01:44:26,149 --> 01:44:24,159 who was based on professor moriarty from 2681 01:44:27,830 --> 01:44:26,159 the original sherlock holmes novels he 2682 01:44:29,430 --> 01:44:27,840 realized that some of the people in the 2683 01:44:32,709 --> 01:44:29,440 simulation 2684 01:44:36,070 --> 01:44:32,719 were not from the holodeck and that they 2685 01:44:37,830 --> 01:44:36,080 existed out there outside the holiday so 2686 01:44:40,149 --> 01:44:37,840 he actually realized that there was a 2687 01:44:41,430 --> 01:44:40,159 world outside the simulation whereas the 2688 01:44:43,990 --> 01:44:41,440 rest of the 2689 01:44:45,350 --> 01:44:44,000 characters were ai so in video games we 2690 01:44:47,109 --> 01:44:45,360 have this idea of player characters 2691 01:44:49,030 --> 01:44:47,119 which we've talked a lot about but we 2692 01:44:51,830 --> 01:44:49,040 also have this idea of 2693 01:44:53,990 --> 01:44:51,840 npcs or non-player characters who are 2694 01:44:55,910 --> 01:44:54,000 the ais within video games and people we 2695 01:44:58,390 --> 01:44:55,920 can interact with and so the holodeck 2696 01:45:00,390 --> 01:44:58,400 characters were kind of like npcs but 2697 01:45:02,470 --> 01:45:00,400 this npc was smart enough to just to 2698 01:45:04,870 --> 01:45:02,480 realize that there was a world out there 2699 01:45:07,510 --> 01:45:04,880 and he wanted to go out 2700 01:45:09,830 --> 01:45:07,520 of of the holodeck but he couldn't 2701 01:45:11,109 --> 01:45:09,840 because he was just an npc and then that 2702 01:45:13,030 --> 01:45:11,119 gets back to this debate of whether 2703 01:45:15,350 --> 01:45:13,040 we're ai or we're actually conscious 2704 01:45:16,629 --> 01:45:15,360 beings playing a character in it now i 2705 01:45:19,350 --> 01:45:16,639 don't know if you remember 2706 01:45:21,430 --> 01:45:19,360 in star trek there was an there was 2707 01:45:23,590 --> 01:45:21,440 another episode with him in there but 2708 01:45:24,790 --> 01:45:23,600 basically they took him out of the 2709 01:45:26,629 --> 01:45:24,800 holodeck 2710 01:45:28,470 --> 01:45:26,639 and so he thought he was in the actual 2711 01:45:29,590 --> 01:45:28,480 ship but turns out he was in another 2712 01:45:31,189 --> 01:45:29,600 simulation 2713 01:45:33,910 --> 01:45:31,199 and that's how they kind of kept him 2714 01:45:34,790 --> 01:45:33,920 alive you know within that and so it's a 2715 01:45:36,870 --> 01:45:34,800 very 2716 01:45:38,310 --> 01:45:36,880 common concept within a lot of science 2717 01:45:40,310 --> 01:45:38,320 fiction but that was one that really got 2718 01:45:43,189 --> 01:45:40,320 me thinking about huh what if we're 2719 01:45:44,950 --> 01:45:43,199 inside a holodeck could we realize that 2720 01:45:47,830 --> 01:45:44,960 there's this world you know outside the 2721 01:45:50,790 --> 01:45:47,840 holodeck and what as we 2722 01:45:52,550 --> 01:45:50,800 you just mentioned ai and ai has gotten 2723 01:45:53,350 --> 01:45:52,560 to the point now 2724 01:45:55,990 --> 01:45:53,360 uh 2725 01:45:57,990 --> 01:45:56,000 here in 2019 where i don't even think 2726 01:46:01,510 --> 01:45:58,000 that we thought that we would be here 2727 01:46:03,510 --> 01:46:01,520 two years ago where ai is really 2728 01:46:04,629 --> 01:46:03,520 starting to get we're getting out of 2729 01:46:07,030 --> 01:46:04,639 general 2730 01:46:09,510 --> 01:46:07,040 uh intelligence into 2731 01:46:11,590 --> 01:46:09,520 some some pretty frightening 2732 01:46:14,149 --> 01:46:11,600 levels of ai 2733 01:46:16,629 --> 01:46:14,159 and is that part of the simulation and 2734 01:46:19,430 --> 01:46:16,639 living in that world and if we get to 2735 01:46:22,310 --> 01:46:19,440 that point where the turing test isn't 2736 01:46:24,149 --> 01:46:22,320 even uh it isn't even mentioned anymore 2737 01:46:25,510 --> 01:46:24,159 right 2738 01:46:26,870 --> 01:46:25,520 you know and so for people who don't 2739 01:46:29,350 --> 01:46:26,880 know what the turing test is you know 2740 01:46:31,350 --> 01:46:29,360 it's alan turing was a 2741 01:46:33,669 --> 01:46:31,360 mathematician computer scientist 2742 01:46:34,470 --> 01:46:33,679 um you know in england and he came up 2743 01:46:36,950 --> 01:46:34,480 with 2744 01:46:39,430 --> 01:46:36,960 this idea of a game where 2745 01:46:40,550 --> 01:46:39,440 behind a curtain there would be a 2746 01:46:42,229 --> 01:46:40,560 computer 2747 01:46:44,550 --> 01:46:42,239 and there would be a real person and you 2748 01:46:48,229 --> 01:46:44,560 would send messages back and forth 2749 01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:48,239 between yourself and person or a versus 2750 01:46:50,390 --> 01:46:49,360 person b 2751 01:46:51,990 --> 01:46:50,400 and 2752 01:46:53,990 --> 01:46:52,000 if you could not tell which one was the 2753 01:46:54,950 --> 01:46:54,000 computer and which one was a real human 2754 01:46:56,390 --> 01:46:54,960 being 2755 01:46:57,910 --> 01:46:56,400 then ai would have gotten to the point 2756 01:46:59,510 --> 01:46:57,920 where it can basically impersonate a 2757 01:47:01,350 --> 01:46:59,520 human being 2758 01:47:02,629 --> 01:47:01,360 we're not there yet that's right we 2759 01:47:05,030 --> 01:47:02,639 haven't yet 2760 01:47:07,109 --> 01:47:05,040 passed the turing test in a generalized 2761 01:47:10,070 --> 01:47:07,119 way but you know one of the the ten 2762 01:47:12,470 --> 01:47:10,080 stages that i lay out in the book of of 2763 01:47:14,629 --> 01:47:12,480 getting to the simulation point is 2764 01:47:15,590 --> 01:47:14,639 a.i and it's this idea of being able to 2765 01:47:18,790 --> 01:47:15,600 simulate 2766 01:47:21,189 --> 01:47:18,800 realistic characters you know within 2767 01:47:22,870 --> 01:47:21,199 uh the simulation and then the second 2768 01:47:24,470 --> 01:47:22,880 part of that is 2769 01:47:25,590 --> 01:47:24,480 if they're realistic characters can we 2770 01:47:27,109 --> 01:47:25,600 also have 2771 01:47:28,149 --> 01:47:27,119 false memories 2772 01:47:30,709 --> 01:47:28,159 as well 2773 01:47:32,950 --> 01:47:30,719 right and and and that's an area where 2774 01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:32,960 you know philip k dick's work is is 2775 01:47:37,910 --> 01:47:36,320 quite interesting um and stephen hawking 2776 01:47:39,669 --> 01:47:37,920 you know talks about 2777 01:47:41,590 --> 01:47:39,679 this idea of 2778 01:47:43,510 --> 01:47:41,600 within a black hole 2779 01:47:45,669 --> 01:47:43,520 information sometimes goes in and 2780 01:47:47,510 --> 01:47:45,679 doesn't come out and so he says that 2781 01:47:49,510 --> 01:47:47,520 that means determinism breaks down and 2782 01:47:51,270 --> 01:47:49,520 if determinism breaks down 2783 01:47:52,790 --> 01:47:51,280 we can't know our past which is 2784 01:47:54,709 --> 01:47:52,800 basically the same as 2785 01:47:55,990 --> 01:47:54,719 false memories or implanted memories 2786 01:47:59,669 --> 01:47:56,000 there's a great scene in the blade 2787 01:48:01,350 --> 01:47:59,679 runner in in you know adaptation of 2788 01:48:03,109 --> 01:48:01,360 philip k dick's to android's dream of 2789 01:48:04,310 --> 01:48:03,119 electric cheap where there's an android 2790 01:48:07,430 --> 01:48:04,320 and she doesn't know she's an android 2791 01:48:08,390 --> 01:48:07,440 because she has real memories right 2792 01:48:09,990 --> 01:48:08,400 and 2793 01:48:12,550 --> 01:48:10,000 that scene 2794 01:48:15,669 --> 01:48:12,560 speaking about this in the matrix 2795 01:48:17,830 --> 01:48:15,679 where neo's walking down the street in 2796 01:48:19,590 --> 01:48:17,840 the crowd and the lady in the red dress 2797 01:48:20,629 --> 01:48:19,600 walks by 2798 01:48:24,709 --> 01:48:20,639 she's 2799 01:48:25,910 --> 01:48:24,719 and uh 2800 01:48:30,310 --> 01:48:25,920 uh 2801 01:48:32,870 --> 01:48:30,320 what's his name that creates her i 2802 01:48:34,709 --> 01:48:32,880 forget his name uh 2803 01:48:37,830 --> 01:48:34,719 his name is well yeah 2804 01:48:39,830 --> 01:48:37,840 what's his name rat oh man anyway he 2805 01:48:42,390 --> 01:48:39,840 goes uh you want to meet her 2806 01:48:44,790 --> 01:48:42,400 right and that that's that's an example 2807 01:48:47,590 --> 01:48:44,800 of of an ai uh 2808 01:48:49,430 --> 01:48:47,600 that would be needed in a simulation 2809 01:48:51,109 --> 01:48:49,440 world like this which is presented in 2810 01:48:54,070 --> 01:48:51,119 the matrix 2811 01:48:56,070 --> 01:48:54,080 that's right and so those ais 2812 01:48:58,709 --> 01:48:56,080 we're getting closer i don't know if you 2813 01:49:00,870 --> 01:48:58,719 saw this but recently they had 2814 01:49:03,590 --> 01:49:00,880 uh these virtual 2815 01:49:05,350 --> 01:49:03,600 influencers very popular in asia where 2816 01:49:08,310 --> 01:49:05,360 their youtube videos being made by these 2817 01:49:11,830 --> 01:49:08,320 virtual characters and in china the 2818 01:49:14,149 --> 01:49:11,840 state news agency released a virtual 2819 01:49:15,750 --> 01:49:14,159 news anchor who can basically read the 2820 01:49:17,750 --> 01:49:15,760 news and it looks like an actual person 2821 01:49:20,470 --> 01:49:17,760 i mean we're far from you know max 2822 01:49:22,730 --> 01:49:20,480 headroom right back in the 2823 01:49:23,830 --> 01:49:22,740 the 80s uh but actually 2824 01:49:25,910 --> 01:49:23,840 [Music] 2825 01:49:28,470 --> 01:49:25,920 you it's very hard to tell 2826 01:49:29,830 --> 01:49:28,480 that this isn't a real person 2827 01:49:31,669 --> 01:49:29,840 that is reading the news now in this 2828 01:49:33,189 --> 01:49:31,679 case it's not full ai because it's just 2829 01:49:34,310 --> 01:49:33,199 reading the news 2830 01:49:37,109 --> 01:49:34,320 but we're getting there and in the 2831 01:49:39,350 --> 01:49:37,119 matrix you know ai is a big part 2832 01:49:40,070 --> 01:49:39,360 of that movie and the mythology around 2833 01:49:44,950 --> 01:49:40,080 it 2834 01:49:46,629 --> 01:49:44,960 an ai 2835 01:49:49,510 --> 01:49:46,639 the computer program 2836 01:49:52,310 --> 01:49:49,520 who basically decides who who's there to 2837 01:49:53,510 --> 01:49:52,320 try to keep order in the matrix but i 2838 01:49:55,910 --> 01:49:53,520 forget which movie it was maybe the 2839 01:49:57,750 --> 01:49:55,920 second movie where he projects himself 2840 01:50:00,070 --> 01:49:57,760 onto all of the people in the matrix 2841 01:50:01,910 --> 01:50:00,080 right remember that yes where everyone 2842 01:50:03,990 --> 01:50:01,920 becomes looks like uh 2843 01:50:06,229 --> 01:50:04,000 uh who is it uh hugo hugo weaving i 2844 01:50:08,709 --> 01:50:06,239 think because uh agents 2845 01:50:11,270 --> 01:50:08,719 agent smith and so it's an agent that's 2846 01:50:12,629 --> 01:50:11,280 replicating itself you know throughout 2847 01:50:15,270 --> 01:50:12,639 the simulation 2848 01:50:17,910 --> 01:50:15,280 and so you know ai is very much 2849 01:50:19,030 --> 01:50:17,920 you know a fundamental part of 2850 01:50:20,709 --> 01:50:19,040 being able to create realistic 2851 01:50:22,870 --> 01:50:20,719 simulations that are indistinguishable 2852 01:50:24,790 --> 01:50:22,880 from reality but also i mentioned the 2853 01:50:27,430 --> 01:50:24,800 simulation argument which is all about 2854 01:50:29,590 --> 01:50:27,440 ai which is the fact that all the beings 2855 01:50:32,470 --> 01:50:29,600 inside simulations are actually ai and 2856 01:50:35,109 --> 01:50:32,480 not biological beings i i don't 2857 01:50:36,470 --> 01:50:35,119 personally buy that side of it but 2858 01:50:38,229 --> 01:50:36,480 the fact that we could be interacting 2859 01:50:40,390 --> 01:50:38,239 with people 2860 01:50:41,910 --> 01:50:40,400 and the fact that we might have memories 2861 01:50:44,629 --> 01:50:41,920 that are false 2862 01:50:47,350 --> 01:50:44,639 that have been implanted using code or 2863 01:50:49,430 --> 01:50:47,360 data and we're getting there so at mit 2864 01:50:50,229 --> 01:50:49,440 there was a group in the brain science 2865 01:50:53,109 --> 01:50:50,239 group 2866 01:50:55,830 --> 01:50:53,119 where they were able to implant 2867 01:50:57,910 --> 01:50:55,840 false memory inside a rat 2868 01:51:00,310 --> 01:50:57,920 using an electrical stimulation now this 2869 01:51:01,669 --> 01:51:00,320 is just the memory it's a false memory 2870 01:51:03,750 --> 01:51:01,679 of you know whether you should go left 2871 01:51:05,669 --> 01:51:03,760 or right so it's a very simple thing but 2872 01:51:07,830 --> 01:51:05,679 they said the neurological structure of 2873 01:51:10,149 --> 01:51:07,840 that false memory 2874 01:51:10,950 --> 01:51:10,159 was actually very similar 2875 01:51:12,870 --> 01:51:10,960 to 2876 01:51:14,390 --> 01:51:12,880 what a real memory would look like and 2877 01:51:16,070 --> 01:51:14,400 so you know we're still 2878 01:51:17,510 --> 01:51:16,080 years if not decades away from being 2879 01:51:19,750 --> 01:51:17,520 able to do that 2880 01:51:22,629 --> 01:51:19,760 but if we get to that point where we can 2881 01:51:24,390 --> 01:51:22,639 place false memories who's to say that a 2882 01:51:26,070 --> 01:51:24,400 more advanced civilization hasn't 2883 01:51:27,430 --> 01:51:26,080 already done that 2884 01:51:29,510 --> 01:51:27,440 just like 2885 01:51:31,189 --> 01:51:29,520 going back to the tibetan traditions in 2886 01:51:32,950 --> 01:51:31,199 a dream i mean we've all had dreams 2887 01:51:34,390 --> 01:51:32,960 where we remembered stuff 2888 01:51:36,550 --> 01:51:34,400 then when you wake up you realize that's 2889 01:51:39,510 --> 01:51:36,560 not a real memory that was a memory 2890 01:51:41,510 --> 01:51:39,520 from within that dream world and of that 2891 01:51:45,669 --> 01:51:41,520 character it's like the backstories you 2892 01:51:48,229 --> 01:51:45,679 know in in in npcs within video games 2893 01:51:50,709 --> 01:51:48,239 that can be like false memories and so 2894 01:51:52,870 --> 01:51:50,719 you know it's all related to this idea 2895 01:51:54,629 --> 01:51:52,880 of virtual characters and what's real 2896 01:51:56,790 --> 01:51:54,639 and what's not and that's you know 2897 01:51:58,390 --> 01:51:56,800 what's great about phil okay dick's work 2898 01:51:59,589 --> 01:51:58,400 is it was very much and when i 2899 01:52:01,430 --> 01:51:59,599 interviewed tessa you know she said it's 2900 01:52:02,470 --> 01:52:01,440 very much about what is real and what 2901 01:52:04,470 --> 01:52:02,480 isn't 2902 01:52:06,470 --> 01:52:04,480 and you know she mentioned that 2903 01:52:07,990 --> 01:52:06,480 with the man in the high castle 2904 01:52:09,669 --> 01:52:08,000 you know he actually 2905 01:52:10,550 --> 01:52:09,679 remembered 2906 01:52:11,990 --> 01:52:10,560 a 2907 01:52:14,550 --> 01:52:12,000 timeline where 2908 01:52:16,629 --> 01:52:14,560 the axis powers won the war 2909 01:52:18,310 --> 01:52:16,639 and she said that he believed someone 2910 01:52:20,390 --> 01:52:18,320 rewound that simulation because they 2911 01:52:22,070 --> 01:52:20,400 didn't like that result and then got us 2912 01:52:24,310 --> 01:52:22,080 on our current timeline 2913 01:52:26,390 --> 01:52:24,320 well if we're in a simulated reality 2914 01:52:28,149 --> 01:52:26,400 then you can do things like that you can 2915 01:52:29,589 --> 01:52:28,159 rewind the timeline 2916 01:52:31,510 --> 01:52:29,599 and then forward it again and i have the 2917 01:52:34,390 --> 01:52:31,520 transcript you know of our interview up 2918 01:52:36,870 --> 01:52:34,400 uh if if somebody just does a search on 2919 01:52:38,870 --> 01:52:36,880 philip k dick the matrix uh a 2920 01:52:41,510 --> 01:52:38,880 conversation that i had with tessa and 2921 01:52:42,870 --> 01:52:41,520 she talks more about that now what would 2922 01:52:45,990 --> 01:52:42,880 happen 2923 01:52:48,310 --> 01:52:46,000 uh i mean how would we discover 2924 01:52:50,550 --> 01:52:48,320 that we are actually living in a 2925 01:52:52,149 --> 01:52:50,560 simulation would it be a glitch in the 2926 01:52:53,990 --> 01:52:52,159 code 2927 01:52:57,270 --> 01:52:54,000 you know something that we could react 2928 01:52:58,870 --> 01:52:57,280 to i mean would that be free will 2929 01:53:00,870 --> 01:52:58,880 you know what i mean that would take us 2930 01:53:04,870 --> 01:53:00,880 off of the 2931 01:53:07,830 --> 01:53:04,880 said code of the simulation and then 2932 01:53:10,870 --> 01:53:07,840 would reveal itself to us and then we 2933 01:53:13,589 --> 01:53:10,880 could react to it in a free will sense 2934 01:53:14,950 --> 01:53:13,599 because we're rendering in real time 2935 01:53:16,950 --> 01:53:14,960 right 2936 01:53:18,070 --> 01:53:16,960 with that would that would that freak us 2937 01:53:19,990 --> 01:53:18,080 out 2938 01:53:21,750 --> 01:53:20,000 well i think that that would and that's 2939 01:53:23,430 --> 01:53:21,760 you know i mentioned you know jacques 2940 01:53:26,070 --> 01:53:23,440 vale earlier and 2941 01:53:28,870 --> 01:53:26,080 you know he believes as many people do 2942 01:53:31,109 --> 01:53:28,880 that synchronicity 2943 01:53:33,669 --> 01:53:31,119 is like a glitch in the matrix and that 2944 01:53:35,510 --> 01:53:33,679 it's stored based on association 2945 01:53:37,589 --> 01:53:35,520 right that information when you store 2946 01:53:39,430 --> 01:53:37,599 information in the database 2947 01:53:41,030 --> 01:53:39,440 you store it based on how things are 2948 01:53:43,109 --> 01:53:41,040 associated and so 2949 01:53:44,709 --> 01:53:43,119 you know these are like little glitches 2950 01:53:48,149 --> 01:53:44,719 in the matrix and some people believe 2951 01:53:49,109 --> 01:53:48,159 the mandela effect is basically evidence 2952 01:53:51,750 --> 01:53:49,119 that 2953 01:53:54,470 --> 01:53:51,760 reality can be unwound 2954 01:53:55,830 --> 01:53:54,480 and then we move forward now i don't 2955 01:53:57,589 --> 01:53:55,840 know if you've seen the adjustment 2956 01:53:59,350 --> 01:53:57,599 bureau i have 2957 01:54:02,310 --> 01:53:59,360 which was based on you know philip k 2958 01:54:04,709 --> 01:54:02,320 dick's short story the adjustment team 2959 01:54:06,550 --> 01:54:04,719 and in that you know they 2960 01:54:09,669 --> 01:54:06,560 what happened was they froze like an 2961 01:54:12,310 --> 01:54:09,679 entire building in in the story itself 2962 01:54:14,229 --> 01:54:12,320 and then they changed people's memories 2963 01:54:16,229 --> 01:54:14,239 and then they re forwarded those 2964 01:54:18,310 --> 01:54:16,239 characters so those characters only 2965 01:54:20,149 --> 01:54:18,320 remember the new way they didn't 2966 01:54:22,390 --> 01:54:20,159 remember what had happened before but 2967 01:54:23,669 --> 01:54:22,400 you know the main character was supposed 2968 01:54:24,870 --> 01:54:23,679 to be in the building and he wasn't he 2969 01:54:26,310 --> 01:54:24,880 walked in on them while they were 2970 01:54:28,870 --> 01:54:26,320 adjusting everybody 2971 01:54:31,669 --> 01:54:28,880 and he remembered both the old way 2972 01:54:32,790 --> 01:54:31,679 things used to be and the new way and 2973 01:54:35,189 --> 01:54:32,800 it's slightly different from the movie 2974 01:54:38,149 --> 01:54:35,199 but this is from the actual novel itself 2975 01:54:40,310 --> 01:54:38,159 i mean the short story itself and and 2976 01:54:41,189 --> 01:54:40,320 that was you know a case where you've 2977 01:54:42,709 --> 01:54:41,199 got 2978 01:54:44,070 --> 01:54:42,719 someone remembering something that's 2979 01:54:46,629 --> 01:54:44,080 different from what everybody else 2980 01:54:48,870 --> 01:54:46,639 remembers so it gets back to this idea 2981 01:54:50,629 --> 01:54:48,880 of false memory so that's one way 2982 01:54:52,629 --> 01:54:50,639 of detecting it 2983 01:54:55,030 --> 01:54:52,639 another way is that there's a series of 2984 01:54:58,310 --> 01:54:55,040 physicists who believe that you know as 2985 01:55:01,750 --> 01:54:58,320 we do more delayed choice experiments 2986 01:55:03,430 --> 01:55:01,760 so there's a physicist named 2987 01:55:04,870 --> 01:55:03,440 tom campbell who wrote a book called my 2988 01:55:07,030 --> 01:55:04,880 big toe 2989 01:55:08,470 --> 01:55:07,040 my big theory of everything and and you 2990 01:55:11,189 --> 01:55:08,480 know they are doing some experiments 2991 01:55:13,510 --> 01:55:11,199 with some folks at caltech to show that 2992 01:55:15,990 --> 01:55:13,520 in fact the world is rendered only when 2993 01:55:18,229 --> 01:55:16,000 we observe it i mean that's been true at 2994 01:55:21,030 --> 01:55:18,239 the sub-atomic level but they wanted to 2995 01:55:22,390 --> 01:55:21,040 do a series of of experiments 2996 01:55:23,669 --> 01:55:22,400 you know which build on the delayed 2997 01:55:25,910 --> 01:55:23,679 choice experiment i was talking about 2998 01:55:28,550 --> 01:55:25,920 earlier where you don't make the choice 2999 01:55:30,709 --> 01:55:28,560 until three steps down the road and so 3000 01:55:33,189 --> 01:55:30,719 if they can verify that all those three 3001 01:55:35,270 --> 01:55:33,199 steps aren't rendered until the choice 3002 01:55:36,870 --> 01:55:35,280 is made you know they believe you can 3003 01:55:39,350 --> 01:55:36,880 prove that it's just like a video game 3004 01:55:41,430 --> 01:55:39,360 so that's another way now there's yet a 3005 01:55:43,430 --> 01:55:41,440 different way some people believe we can 3006 01:55:45,350 --> 01:55:43,440 sense we can detect 3007 01:55:47,589 --> 01:55:45,360 that we have pixels 3008 01:55:50,149 --> 01:55:47,599 right so pixels are the the basis of 3009 01:55:52,709 --> 01:55:50,159 rendered worlds in in our video games 3010 01:55:55,350 --> 01:55:52,719 and so the question is 3011 01:55:56,550 --> 01:55:55,360 is the physical universe pixelated right 3012 01:55:58,950 --> 01:55:56,560 right 3013 01:56:00,390 --> 01:55:58,960 and and many people think that it is i 3014 01:56:03,270 --> 01:56:00,400 mean i remember 3015 01:56:06,149 --> 01:56:03,280 first hearing about zeno's paradox 3016 01:56:07,750 --> 01:56:06,159 right which is a greek philosopher who 3017 01:56:09,189 --> 01:56:07,760 had many paradoxes but one of his main 3018 01:56:11,910 --> 01:56:09,199 paradoxes was 3019 01:56:13,510 --> 01:56:11,920 with achilles and a tortoise 3020 01:56:15,669 --> 01:56:13,520 and he said if achilles needs to catch 3021 01:56:16,790 --> 01:56:15,679 up to the tortoise first he has to get 3022 01:56:18,390 --> 01:56:16,800 halfway 3023 01:56:20,390 --> 01:56:18,400 to you know between himself and the 3024 01:56:21,589 --> 01:56:20,400 tortoise and then he has to get halfway 3025 01:56:26,390 --> 01:56:21,599 between that 3026 01:56:28,709 --> 01:56:26,400 distance was continuous you could always 3027 01:56:30,229 --> 01:56:28,719 go halfway and you would never quite 3028 01:56:32,709 --> 01:56:30,239 reach it the same idea of how do you 3029 01:56:35,430 --> 01:56:32,719 actually touch the wall with your finger 3030 01:56:37,589 --> 01:56:35,440 because you always have to go halfway 3031 01:56:39,189 --> 01:56:37,599 and so at some point 3032 01:56:40,950 --> 01:56:39,199 there has to be something that says okay 3033 01:56:42,870 --> 01:56:40,960 you've gone over the the smallest 3034 01:56:45,030 --> 01:56:42,880 possible limit 3035 01:56:46,229 --> 01:56:45,040 to to fill the gap otherwise you would 3036 01:56:47,430 --> 01:56:46,239 just keep going half and half and half 3037 01:56:50,229 --> 01:56:47,440 forever 3038 01:56:52,870 --> 01:56:50,239 add infinitum and that smallest 3039 01:56:55,270 --> 01:56:52,880 point would be like a pixelization 3040 01:56:57,750 --> 01:56:55,280 of space and it turns out there is a 3041 01:57:00,149 --> 01:56:57,760 value like that it's plank's constant 3042 01:57:02,070 --> 01:57:00,159 and below that value 3043 01:57:03,830 --> 01:57:02,080 they can't measure anything so nothing 3044 01:57:06,229 --> 01:57:03,840 is reliable so it's considered kind of 3045 01:57:09,589 --> 01:57:06,239 the smallest measurable value but it's 3046 01:57:11,750 --> 01:57:09,599 based on the speed of light 3047 01:57:14,550 --> 01:57:11,760 that's how he derived you know that 3048 01:57:17,430 --> 01:57:14,560 specific value and so 3049 01:57:19,669 --> 01:57:17,440 if we think of pixels in a video game 3050 01:57:21,669 --> 01:57:19,679 they're individual pixels 3051 01:57:22,870 --> 01:57:21,679 that are lit up right 3052 01:57:24,950 --> 01:57:22,880 based upon 3053 01:57:26,790 --> 01:57:24,960 some information 3054 01:57:29,510 --> 01:57:26,800 that's stored in the computer that says 3055 01:57:31,510 --> 01:57:29,520 you know i'm in the house and the models 3056 01:57:32,709 --> 01:57:31,520 say i need to render this specific set 3057 01:57:34,629 --> 01:57:32,719 of pixels 3058 01:57:37,189 --> 01:57:34,639 and so some people think we can detect 3059 01:57:39,510 --> 01:57:37,199 the pixels by looking at the structure 3060 01:57:41,990 --> 01:57:39,520 so that's yet another way to try to 3061 01:57:43,510 --> 01:57:42,000 detect you know if we're actually inside 3062 01:57:45,189 --> 01:57:43,520 a computer simulated world some people 3063 01:57:48,070 --> 01:57:45,199 think fractal algorithms are are 3064 01:57:52,390 --> 01:57:48,080 evidence of computation there yeah i i 3065 01:57:55,109 --> 01:57:52,400 saw this debated with uh uh brian green 3066 01:57:57,910 --> 01:57:55,119 and the evidence presented forward about 3067 01:57:59,350 --> 01:57:57,920 uh us being pixels all the way around 3068 01:58:01,189 --> 01:57:59,360 everything that you look 3069 01:58:03,589 --> 01:58:01,199 it was fascinating we're going to 3070 01:58:05,270 --> 01:58:03,599 continue this conversation

something like ready 3243 02:05:46,709 --> 02:05:44,480 player one 3244 02:05:48,629 --> 02:05:46,719 um you know the movie that came out from 3245 02:05:49,910 --> 02:05:48,639 steven spielberg last year and based on 3246 02:05:51,750 --> 02:05:49,920 the book by uh 3247 02:05:54,550 --> 02:05:51,760 ernest cline 3248 02:05:56,070 --> 02:05:54,560 they had they would wear haptic suits 3249 02:05:58,390 --> 02:05:56,080 while they were inside the virtual 3250 02:05:59,990 --> 02:05:58,400 reality right so they could feel if they 3251 02:06:02,070 --> 02:06:00,000 were being punched and they were they 3252 02:06:03,830 --> 02:06:02,080 would be on these treadmills these 3253 02:06:06,070 --> 02:06:03,840 omnidirectional treadmills so they could 3254 02:06:07,990 --> 02:06:06,080 feel like they were actually moving 3255 02:06:09,830 --> 02:06:08,000 and many people preferred the reality 3256 02:06:12,070 --> 02:06:09,840 inside the oasis 3257 02:06:13,669 --> 02:06:12,080 you know to the physical reality that 3258 02:06:15,189 --> 02:06:13,679 was described in the novel which is kind 3259 02:06:18,149 --> 02:06:15,199 of a dystopian 3260 02:06:20,070 --> 02:06:18,159 future and so you know it's it's an 3261 02:06:22,390 --> 02:06:20,080 interesting question 3262 02:06:24,470 --> 02:06:22,400 um what does it matter i mean what does 3263 02:06:26,790 --> 02:06:24,480 it matter if uh 3264 02:06:28,790 --> 02:06:26,800 you feel the same emotions you're still 3265 02:06:31,589 --> 02:06:28,800 dealing with the implications of 3266 02:06:33,990 --> 02:06:31,599 breaking the law or murder or morals and 3267 02:06:36,709 --> 02:06:34,000 ethics and of course food and 3268 02:06:38,390 --> 02:06:36,719 experiences and dreams and 3269 02:06:40,550 --> 02:06:38,400 and everything if if 3270 02:06:43,350 --> 02:06:40,560 what what would it matter 3271 02:06:46,310 --> 02:06:43,360 should we care would you care 3272 02:06:48,069 --> 02:06:46,320 yeah i personally would uh but you know 3273 02:06:50,149 --> 02:06:48,079 it's a it's a question that many people 3274 02:06:52,069 --> 02:06:50,159 ask and it's one of the 3275 02:06:53,830 --> 02:06:52,079 the areas that you know in simulation 3276 02:06:56,310 --> 02:06:53,840 hypothesis you get a certain percentage 3277 02:06:59,350 --> 02:06:56,320 of people so i get interesting reactions 3278 02:07:01,669 --> 02:06:59,360 when i talk about this right there are 3279 02:07:03,589 --> 02:07:01,679 uh some of the scientists who say oh 3280 02:07:04,870 --> 02:07:03,599 that's just like religion therefore you 3281 02:07:06,709 --> 02:07:04,880 know we don't want you know we don't 3282 02:07:08,950 --> 02:07:06,719 want to take it seriously 3283 02:07:10,790 --> 02:07:08,960 and then sometimes you go far on the 3284 02:07:11,669 --> 02:07:10,800 religious consciousness side and they 3285 02:07:14,629 --> 02:07:11,679 say 3286 02:07:16,069 --> 02:07:14,639 oh that's just a i and we're not ai 3287 02:07:17,510 --> 02:07:16,079 we're conscious beings therefore we 3288 02:07:20,470 --> 02:07:17,520 can't take the simulation hypothesis 3289 02:07:22,229 --> 02:07:20,480 seriously and it's when you've got 3290 02:07:23,589 --> 02:07:22,239 you know both sides kind of unhappy with 3291 02:07:24,790 --> 02:07:23,599 it that i know we must be on to 3292 02:07:27,350 --> 02:07:24,800 something here 3293 02:07:29,510 --> 02:07:27,360 that we're really bridging this this gap 3294 02:07:31,189 --> 02:07:29,520 but then the third reaction sometimes is 3295 02:07:32,149 --> 02:07:31,199 well what does it matter let's forget 3296 02:07:33,430 --> 02:07:32,159 about it 3297 02:07:35,270 --> 02:07:33,440 but wouldn't you want to know if you 3298 02:07:37,350 --> 02:07:35,280 were inside a holodeck 3299 02:07:38,950 --> 02:07:37,360 right to know that there was an actual 3300 02:07:42,550 --> 02:07:38,960 spaceship enterprise outside the 3301 02:07:44,390 --> 02:07:42,560 holodeck i think it it can give you a 3302 02:07:45,830 --> 02:07:44,400 sense of perspective 3303 02:07:47,750 --> 02:07:45,840 not unlike 3304 02:07:48,870 --> 02:07:47,760 you know what 3305 02:07:49,910 --> 02:07:48,880 people who've had a near-death 3306 02:07:52,229 --> 02:07:49,920 experience 3307 02:07:53,430 --> 02:07:52,239 right they get a perspective on what's 3308 02:07:55,910 --> 02:07:53,440 going on 3309 02:07:58,390 --> 02:07:55,920 in their lives and it helps them 3310 02:07:59,830 --> 02:07:58,400 to act a certain way and helps them to 3311 02:08:02,229 --> 02:07:59,840 make progress in the video game i mean 3312 02:08:04,069 --> 02:08:02,239 if you were inside a video game 3313 02:08:05,189 --> 02:08:04,079 wouldn't it help you to know what 3314 02:08:07,990 --> 02:08:05,199 elements 3315 02:08:10,470 --> 02:08:08,000 were being used to keep score what your 3316 02:08:13,270 --> 02:08:10,480 quests or achievements are 3317 02:08:15,510 --> 02:08:13,280 versus thinking it's just all pointless 3318 02:08:17,589 --> 02:08:15,520 so i personally would want to know but 3319 02:08:20,550 --> 02:08:17,599 maybe not everyone would want to know 3320 02:08:22,310 --> 02:08:20,560 if the universe is 3321 02:08:24,629 --> 02:08:22,320 math 3322 02:08:26,149 --> 02:08:24,639 right that's all it is the universe is 3323 02:08:29,430 --> 02:08:26,159 nothing but 3324 02:08:30,870 --> 02:08:29,440 math and things are going to happen 3325 02:08:32,870 --> 02:08:30,880 the way that they're going to happen 3326 02:08:33,910 --> 02:08:32,880 which brings up the question of free 3327 02:08:34,870 --> 02:08:33,920 will 3328 02:08:37,589 --> 02:08:34,880 and 3329 02:08:39,910 --> 02:08:37,599 or not that everything is predetermined 3330 02:08:42,069 --> 02:08:39,920 and if that is indeed the case now we 3331 02:08:45,030 --> 02:08:42,079 are talking about numbers 3332 02:08:49,910 --> 02:08:45,040 and what we are doing right now 3333 02:08:51,750 --> 02:08:49,920 is can't be anything but a simulation 3334 02:08:53,189 --> 02:08:51,760 right so this gets back to that kind of 3335 02:08:55,189 --> 02:08:53,199 central debate 3336 02:08:57,350 --> 02:08:55,199 amongst simulation theorists i don't 3337 02:08:58,629 --> 02:08:57,360 know if there actually is is such a term 3338 02:09:00,709 --> 02:08:58,639 but there are certainly people that love 3339 02:09:01,750 --> 02:09:00,719 to debate this stuff online 3340 02:09:04,390 --> 02:09:01,760 um 3341 02:09:05,669 --> 02:09:04,400 that whether we are in fact 3342 02:09:07,510 --> 02:09:05,679 ai 3343 02:09:10,470 --> 02:09:07,520 or not and 3344 02:09:12,390 --> 02:09:10,480 this is where we're tying to 3345 02:09:14,229 --> 02:09:12,400 this idea of 3346 02:09:15,910 --> 02:09:14,239 why do you need a computer simulation 3347 02:09:18,149 --> 02:09:15,920 for anything 3348 02:09:21,430 --> 02:09:18,159 and there's a concept called 3349 02:09:23,830 --> 02:09:21,440 computational irreducibility 3350 02:09:25,030 --> 02:09:23,840 and you know this was popularized by 3351 02:09:26,790 --> 02:09:25,040 stephen wolfram who created the 3352 02:09:28,229 --> 02:09:26,800 mathematica software 3353 02:09:30,310 --> 02:09:28,239 uh but you know it's been around for a 3354 02:09:31,589 --> 02:09:30,320 while and it ties into ideas of chaos 3355 02:09:33,430 --> 02:09:31,599 therian 3356 02:09:35,430 --> 02:09:33,440 chaos theory came about because people 3357 02:09:37,750 --> 02:09:35,440 realize that even if you have a purely 3358 02:09:38,950 --> 02:09:37,760 deterministic 3359 02:09:40,390 --> 02:09:38,960 model 3360 02:09:42,470 --> 02:09:40,400 that says 3361 02:09:44,470 --> 02:09:42,480 you know a set of equations 3362 02:09:47,030 --> 02:09:44,480 x equals x plus one and you keep running 3363 02:09:49,589 --> 02:09:47,040 it again and again and again 3364 02:09:52,390 --> 02:09:49,599 for you to know what is going to happen 3365 02:09:54,709 --> 02:09:52,400 at the 50 millionth step you can't just 3366 02:09:57,830 --> 02:09:54,719 calculate it you have to actually run 3367 02:10:00,950 --> 02:09:57,840 the program 50 million times and that 3368 02:10:03,030 --> 02:10:00,960 even a slight change in the input 3369 02:10:03,990 --> 02:10:03,040 variables can result in a vastly 3370 02:10:06,790 --> 02:10:04,000 different 3371 02:10:08,229 --> 02:10:06,800 outcome this is when people try to 3372 02:10:09,669 --> 02:10:08,239 predict the weather for example this is 3373 02:10:11,990 --> 02:10:09,679 why they were so bad at it for a while 3374 02:10:13,830 --> 02:10:12,000 but as computational power 3375 02:10:15,350 --> 02:10:13,840 started to get better they've started to 3376 02:10:17,189 --> 02:10:15,360 become better at predicting at least 3377 02:10:18,310 --> 02:10:17,199 within a few days right we still can't 3378 02:10:19,270 --> 02:10:18,320 predict what the weather is going to be 3379 02:10:21,350 --> 02:10:19,280 like 3380 02:10:22,470 --> 02:10:21,360 a year from now exactly on this day at 3381 02:10:23,589 --> 02:10:22,480 this time 3382 02:10:25,109 --> 02:10:23,599 that's because there are so many 3383 02:10:26,550 --> 02:10:25,119 variables 3384 02:10:28,390 --> 02:10:26,560 to simulate but but it's a 3385 02:10:31,189 --> 02:10:28,400 computationally irreducible problem in 3386 02:10:33,589 --> 02:10:31,199 that you have to compute it and so if 3387 02:10:35,750 --> 02:10:33,599 that's the case with the simulation even 3388 02:10:37,109 --> 02:10:35,760 if we're in a simulation 3389 02:10:38,790 --> 02:10:37,119 where the initial variables are 3390 02:10:40,069 --> 02:10:38,800 determined the reason you run the 3391 02:10:41,669 --> 02:10:40,079 simulation is 3392 02:10:44,629 --> 02:10:41,679 there you need 3393 02:10:46,709 --> 02:10:44,639 account for little minute changes to see 3394 02:10:47,910 --> 02:10:46,719 where they would end up and and to a 3395 02:10:49,510 --> 02:10:47,920 certain extent 3396 02:10:51,189 --> 02:10:49,520 you know this is what uh tessa was 3397 02:10:53,589 --> 02:10:51,199 telling us about philip k dick where he 3398 02:10:55,189 --> 02:10:53,599 believed that there were some beings 3399 02:10:56,390 --> 02:10:55,199 whether they were from the future or who 3400 02:10:57,430 --> 02:10:56,400 knows where 3401 02:10:59,350 --> 02:10:57,440 they would 3402 02:11:00,470 --> 02:10:59,360 run the simulation to see where it led 3403 02:11:02,149 --> 02:11:00,480 and then they say well they weren't 3404 02:11:03,990 --> 02:11:02,159 happy with an outcome and they would 3405 02:11:05,750 --> 02:11:04,000 rewind the simulation 3406 02:11:07,910 --> 02:11:05,760 to go in a different direction 3407 02:11:10,550 --> 02:11:07,920 um so there has to be some element of 3408 02:11:12,709 --> 02:11:10,560 randomness or free choice there and you 3409 02:11:14,069 --> 02:11:12,719 know i tend to be believe that just like 3410 02:11:15,910 --> 02:11:14,079 a video game 3411 02:11:18,470 --> 02:11:15,920 there may be limited choices but you are 3412 02:11:21,189 --> 02:11:18,480 free to kill the orc or not in the video 3413 02:11:23,589 --> 02:11:21,199 game so the player who is controlling 3414 02:11:25,350 --> 02:11:23,599 the character does have the option of 3415 02:11:27,430 --> 02:11:25,360 changing things and that leads to a 3416 02:11:29,910 --> 02:11:27,440 different result in the simulation 3417 02:11:31,270 --> 02:11:29,920 itself well if we 3418 02:11:33,430 --> 02:11:31,280 if we 3419 02:11:36,229 --> 02:11:33,440 accept the 3420 02:11:39,270 --> 02:11:36,239 simulation hypothesis let's let's go 3421 02:11:40,790 --> 02:11:39,280 there for a second and let's table that 3422 02:11:44,149 --> 02:11:40,800 then 3423 02:11:47,750 --> 02:11:44,159 the question of parallel worlds and and 3424 02:11:50,870 --> 02:11:47,760 the multiverse the one aspect that is 3425 02:11:53,830 --> 02:11:50,880 always up for debate is the physicality 3426 02:11:56,229 --> 02:11:53,840 of said parallel world how could that be 3427 02:11:58,790 --> 02:11:56,239 possible an alternate timeline that's 3428 02:12:01,510 --> 02:11:58,800 just like our world that's just a little 3429 02:12:04,470 --> 02:12:01,520 bit different but it exists 3430 02:12:05,669 --> 02:12:04,480 well that would answer the physical side 3431 02:12:08,790 --> 02:12:05,679 of it 3432 02:12:10,950 --> 02:12:08,800 right that it's just a simulation it's 3433 02:12:13,350 --> 02:12:10,960 not a physical 3434 02:12:15,589 --> 02:12:13,360 parallel world and 3435 02:12:16,870 --> 02:12:15,599 and and the the multiverses that would 3436 02:12:19,430 --> 02:12:16,880 be out there 3437 02:12:21,510 --> 02:12:19,440 it's just a simulation 3438 02:12:22,870 --> 02:12:21,520 right so if you think about 3439 02:12:25,030 --> 02:12:22,880 uh if 3440 02:12:26,390 --> 02:12:25,040 the parallel worlds or the many worlds 3441 02:12:28,629 --> 02:12:26,400 interpretation 3442 02:12:30,069 --> 02:12:28,639 of quantum physics is that every time 3443 02:12:32,870 --> 02:12:30,079 there's a choice 3444 02:12:33,750 --> 02:12:32,880 where the universe is actually branching 3445 02:12:34,950 --> 02:12:33,760 into 3446 02:12:36,310 --> 02:12:34,960 two different universes and then you 3447 02:12:37,910 --> 02:12:36,320 have another choice and it's branching 3448 02:12:40,550 --> 02:12:37,920 into two different universes right right 3449 02:12:42,629 --> 02:12:40,560 right on and on and on so there's an 3450 02:12:44,470 --> 02:12:42,639 almost infinite 3451 02:12:46,229 --> 02:12:44,480 set of worlds stephen hawking said it's 3452 02:12:48,069 --> 02:12:46,239 not infinite because there are only so 3453 02:12:49,669 --> 02:12:48,079 many particles that you can arrange in 3454 02:12:52,790 --> 02:12:49,679 so many ways but it's a very large 3455 02:12:54,629 --> 02:12:52,800 number in any case well turns out the 3456 02:12:56,709 --> 02:12:54,639 only way to do that you would have to 3457 02:12:59,669 --> 02:12:56,719 clone 3458 02:13:00,709 --> 02:12:59,679 the existing world right our physical 3459 02:13:03,270 --> 02:13:00,719 world 3460 02:13:04,149 --> 02:13:03,280 and then have it go off in a slightly 3461 02:13:06,069 --> 02:13:04,159 different direction then you would have 3462 02:13:07,350 --> 02:13:06,079 to clone that again 3463 02:13:09,189 --> 02:13:07,360 now 3464 02:13:11,350 --> 02:13:09,199 that's pretty easy to do 3465 02:13:13,189 --> 02:13:11,360 on a video game server right 3466 02:13:15,510 --> 02:13:13,199 we can clone you know we can take a 3467 02:13:17,669 --> 02:13:15,520 world of warcraft server and say this is 3468 02:13:19,510 --> 02:13:17,679 the status and let's make another copy 3469 02:13:22,229 --> 02:13:19,520 of it on another server and then we can 3470 02:13:24,550 --> 02:13:22,239 let that run independently so that then 3471 02:13:26,069 --> 02:13:24,560 people can make different choices 3472 02:13:28,229 --> 02:13:26,079 but in fact 3473 02:13:30,709 --> 02:13:28,239 you know in computer science 3474 02:13:32,790 --> 02:13:30,719 this idea of copying pixels and copying 3475 02:13:34,149 --> 02:13:32,800 information it's a it's a basic 3476 02:13:34,950 --> 02:13:34,159 operation 3477 02:13:37,270 --> 02:13:34,960 that 3478 02:13:38,790 --> 02:13:37,280 uh can be done very fast and very 3479 02:13:41,430 --> 02:13:38,800 quickly so 3480 02:13:43,430 --> 02:13:41,440 the only practical way to have these 3481 02:13:44,550 --> 02:13:43,440 different universes created on the spot 3482 02:13:46,310 --> 02:13:44,560 like that 3483 02:13:47,669 --> 02:13:46,320 would be to have some type of 3484 02:13:50,790 --> 02:13:47,679 computation 3485 02:13:53,189 --> 02:13:50,800 that can do a clone very quickly and 3486 02:13:56,709 --> 02:13:53,199 that's another reason why 3487 02:13:57,990 --> 02:13:56,719 the simulation hypothesis ties into 3488 02:13:59,430 --> 02:13:58,000 quantum physics and this idea of 3489 02:14:01,030 --> 02:13:59,440 parallel universes now you know i 3490 02:14:03,990 --> 02:14:01,040 mentioned my first video game i ever 3491 02:14:05,830 --> 02:14:04,000 created was tic-tac-toe game and 3492 02:14:07,430 --> 02:14:05,840 you know i played against my brother 3493 02:14:09,350 --> 02:14:07,440 initially and then he got bored so then 3494 02:14:11,030 --> 02:14:09,360 i tried to create an algorithm 3495 02:14:12,870 --> 02:14:11,040 that would kind of predict 3496 02:14:14,470 --> 02:14:12,880 you know where the best place is to put 3497 02:14:17,030 --> 02:14:14,480 the action or the oh that's not very 3498 02:14:19,669 --> 02:14:17,040 hard to do with tic-tac-toe 3499 02:14:21,589 --> 02:14:19,679 but i mentioned uh claude shannon uh who 3500 02:14:24,390 --> 02:14:21,599 was a mit professor who built a chess 3501 02:14:26,709 --> 02:14:24,400 playing computer back in 1950s you know 3502 02:14:28,709 --> 02:14:26,719 he laid out the basic 3503 02:14:29,990 --> 02:14:28,719 way that even today a lot of chess 3504 02:14:31,750 --> 02:14:30,000 playing computers at least for many 3505 02:14:33,109 --> 02:14:31,760 years they worked this way and they 3506 02:14:35,270 --> 02:14:33,119 would project 3507 02:14:36,470 --> 02:14:35,280 each of the possible 3508 02:14:38,310 --> 02:14:36,480 moves 3509 02:14:40,310 --> 02:14:38,320 and then they would evaluate you know 3510 02:14:41,910 --> 02:14:40,320 what the ideal situation was and then 3511 02:14:43,990 --> 02:14:41,920 they would back up 3512 02:14:45,830 --> 02:14:44,000 and then go towards that ideal 3513 02:14:47,750 --> 02:14:45,840 move and so years later when i was 3514 02:14:49,830 --> 02:14:47,760 building you know more video games and 3515 02:14:52,069 --> 02:14:49,840 that that were trying to basically have 3516 02:14:55,189 --> 02:14:52,079 all these alternatives in 3517 02:14:56,950 --> 02:14:55,199 in memory and then pick the best one 3518 02:15:00,870 --> 02:14:56,960 you know it it reminded me a lot of the 3519 02:15:02,629 --> 02:15:00,880 parallel worlds theory in that these are 3520 02:15:03,990 --> 02:15:02,639 probable worlds that exist as 3521 02:15:04,950 --> 02:15:04,000 information 3522 02:15:07,910 --> 02:15:04,960 and then 3523 02:15:10,310 --> 02:15:07,920 you can go down the path and actually 3524 02:15:12,069 --> 02:15:10,320 render whichever one you want but i 3525 02:15:14,870 --> 02:15:12,079 think the only practical way for that to 3526 02:15:16,790 --> 02:15:14,880 happen would it for to be some type of 3527 02:15:19,109 --> 02:15:16,800 computational system some type of 3528 02:15:21,350 --> 02:15:19,119 computer system that's underlying the 3529 02:15:23,189 --> 02:15:21,360 entire mechanism and so if you did do 3530 02:15:25,350 --> 02:15:23,199 that you started at the beginning and 3531 02:15:28,149 --> 02:15:25,360 you cloned one world 3532 02:15:29,350 --> 02:15:28,159 and created a new one you started the 3533 02:15:32,390 --> 02:15:29,360 same 3534 02:15:35,109 --> 02:15:32,400 but in the end you would have totally 3535 02:15:37,189 --> 02:15:35,119 different worlds because they would have 3536 02:15:38,550 --> 02:15:37,199 the same outcomes 3537 02:15:40,950 --> 02:15:38,560 that's right and that's what chaos 3538 02:15:43,830 --> 02:15:40,960 theory is all about it says 3539 02:15:45,510 --> 02:15:43,840 sensitivity to initial conditions 3540 02:15:47,030 --> 02:15:45,520 and if the initial conditions change 3541 02:15:49,430 --> 02:15:47,040 slightly so even though they might be 3542 02:15:51,990 --> 02:15:49,440 the same at step one okay so earlier we 3543 02:15:55,109 --> 02:15:52,000 we talked about this idea of 3544 02:15:56,470 --> 02:15:55,119 pixelization and we said is the world 3545 02:15:57,910 --> 02:15:56,480 pixelated 3546 02:16:00,229 --> 02:15:57,920 uh which would make it more like a 3547 02:16:03,030 --> 02:16:00,239 computer simulation in computer 3548 02:16:06,950 --> 02:16:03,040 simulations you also have this idea of 3549 02:16:10,470 --> 02:16:06,960 a clock speed in all processors right 3550 02:16:12,629 --> 02:16:10,480 and so a clock speed for a computer chip 3551 02:16:13,990 --> 02:16:12,639 is the minimal amount of time that you 3552 02:16:16,229 --> 02:16:14,000 can measure 3553 02:16:17,750 --> 02:16:16,239 so you can't go underneath that so if 3554 02:16:19,189 --> 02:16:17,760 you're inside a video game that's 3555 02:16:20,790 --> 02:16:19,199 running on a processor with a clock 3556 02:16:23,030 --> 02:16:20,800 speed of say one 3557 02:16:24,229 --> 02:16:23,040 uh millisecond and the numbers are 3558 02:16:26,470 --> 02:16:24,239 actually way smaller than one 3559 02:16:29,589 --> 02:16:26,480 millisecond uh but 3560 02:16:30,950 --> 02:16:29,599 you cannot measure anything that happens 3561 02:16:33,750 --> 02:16:30,960 at less 3562 02:16:34,709 --> 02:16:33,760 than that and so in a simulation you 3563 02:16:38,469 --> 02:16:34,719 have 3564 02:16:41,110 --> 02:16:38,479 multiples of that clock speed so you 3565 02:16:43,910 --> 02:16:41,120 might say simulate a population of fruit 3566 02:16:46,469 --> 02:16:43,920 flies every step is considered one year 3567 02:16:48,709 --> 02:16:46,479 where the flute flies you know die and 3568 02:16:50,389 --> 02:16:48,719 then they reproduce and you say after 10 3569 02:16:52,629 --> 02:16:50,399 years what's the population of fruit 3570 02:16:55,429 --> 02:16:52,639 flies and so this is how chaos theory 3571 02:16:57,669 --> 02:16:55,439 actually developed was that even little 3572 02:16:59,509 --> 02:16:57,679 changes somewhere on step two 3573 02:17:01,110 --> 02:16:59,519 ended up producing a vastly different 3574 02:17:02,950 --> 02:17:01,120 outcome 3575 02:17:04,389 --> 02:17:02,960 you know down the road 3576 02:17:06,309 --> 02:17:04,399 and so that's exactly what could be 3577 02:17:07,830 --> 02:17:06,319 happening you know with these parallel 3578 02:17:11,110 --> 02:17:07,840 worlds is 3579 02:17:13,509 --> 02:17:11,120 that even a small change in steps two or 3580 02:17:15,830 --> 02:17:13,519 three and in quantum physics they talk 3581 02:17:18,790 --> 02:17:15,840 about you know a very large number 3582 02:17:21,270 --> 02:17:18,800 almost infinite set of possibilities and 3583 02:17:23,830 --> 02:17:21,280 and and multiverses you know that are 3584 02:17:25,509 --> 02:17:23,840 out there um kind of in you know tying 3585 02:17:27,429 --> 02:17:25,519 back to to lighten up the quantum 3586 02:17:29,030 --> 02:17:27,439 physics we die back to 3587 02:17:31,509 --> 02:17:29,040 you know science fiction and there's you 3588 02:17:33,830 --> 02:17:31,519 know the the the cw series the flash 3589 02:17:35,589 --> 02:17:33,840 right and they always go to earth 19 and 3590 02:17:37,990 --> 02:17:35,599 they get characters from you know earth 3591 02:17:39,669 --> 02:17:38,000 2 right and from earth 19 3592 02:17:42,070 --> 02:17:39,679 and then you know recently there was 3593 02:17:44,950 --> 02:17:42,080 enter the spider verse but this idea has 3594 02:17:46,950 --> 02:17:44,960 percolated from physics now into popular 3595 02:17:48,309 --> 02:17:46,960 culture as well 3596 02:17:49,429 --> 02:17:48,319 but you know the question of whether 3597 02:17:51,429 --> 02:17:49,439 they're 3598 02:17:52,790 --> 02:17:51,439 real or computed 3599 02:17:54,230 --> 02:17:52,800 is an interesting one but if they're all 3600 02:17:57,190 --> 02:17:54,240 simulated then i guess it doesn't really 3601 02:17:59,589 --> 02:17:57,200 matter well what okay so now you've 3602 02:18:01,110 --> 02:17:59,599 you've written a book you've compiled 3603 02:18:02,469 --> 02:18:01,120 all of this information you've 3604 02:18:05,589 --> 02:18:02,479 researched 3605 02:18:08,150 --> 02:18:05,599 um not only the science but the religion 3606 02:18:10,389 --> 02:18:08,160 side and the science fiction side 3607 02:18:13,509 --> 02:18:10,399 what have you learned 3608 02:18:15,910 --> 02:18:13,519 is it possible i asked you earlier if 3609 02:18:18,870 --> 02:18:15,920 you would upload yourself right and he 3610 02:18:20,709 --> 02:18:18,880 said ah probably not right you're happy 3611 02:18:23,669 --> 02:18:20,719 in this world that we live in but what 3612 02:18:26,790 --> 02:18:23,679 have you learned is are we living in a 3613 02:18:28,469 --> 02:18:26,800 simulation is it possible 3614 02:18:29,509 --> 02:18:28,479 yeah i think it's not only possible i 3615 02:18:32,070 --> 02:18:29,519 think it's 3616 02:18:34,230 --> 02:18:32,080 probable it's more likely 3617 02:18:35,830 --> 02:18:34,240 that what we think of as the physical 3618 02:18:37,349 --> 02:18:35,840 world 3619 02:18:38,549 --> 02:18:37,359 is actually 3620 02:18:54,389 --> 02:18:38,559 a 3621 02:18:56,309 --> 02:18:54,399 there is no 3622 02:18:58,629 --> 02:18:56,319 physical object there 3623 02:19:01,509 --> 02:18:58,639 it's really a set of relationships and 3624 02:19:03,509 --> 02:19:01,519 information and so if that's the case 3625 02:19:04,309 --> 02:19:03,519 that sounds so much 3626 02:19:06,549 --> 02:19:04,319 like 3627 02:19:09,270 --> 02:19:06,559 the video game world that i've been in 3628 02:19:11,349 --> 02:19:09,280 and so as i research these things the 3629 02:19:12,950 --> 02:19:11,359 you know initially i it was the spark of 3630 02:19:14,070 --> 02:19:12,960 an eye it was like a little bit of an 3631 02:19:14,870 --> 02:19:14,080 idea 3632 02:19:17,589 --> 02:19:14,880 that 3633 02:19:19,110 --> 02:19:17,599 this could be serious but the more i 3634 02:19:23,750 --> 02:19:19,120 investigated 3635 02:19:26,709 --> 02:19:23,760 the quantum side of it the more that i 3636 02:19:28,870 --> 02:19:26,719 looked at quantum computing and how uh 3637 02:19:31,669 --> 02:19:28,880 it could be used to simulate the world 3638 02:19:33,190 --> 02:19:31,679 i saw the parallels you know with these 3639 02:19:35,110 --> 02:19:33,200 spiritual religious traditions which 3640 02:19:37,509 --> 02:19:35,120 i've also spent a lot of time studying 3641 02:19:38,549 --> 02:19:37,519 and so for me you know this is the one 3642 02:19:39,349 --> 02:19:38,559 theory 3643 02:19:41,270 --> 02:19:39,359 that 3644 02:19:43,270 --> 02:19:41,280 can bring together 3645 02:19:45,270 --> 02:19:43,280 uh these different ways of looking at 3646 02:19:48,469 --> 02:19:45,280 the universe in the search for truth so 3647 02:19:51,110 --> 02:19:48,479 i you know while we cannot say 100 3648 02:19:53,270 --> 02:19:51,120 yes we are in a simulation i what i've 3649 02:19:55,190 --> 02:19:53,280 learned is i think it's much more likely 3650 02:19:58,070 --> 02:19:55,200 that we are in some type of an 3651 02:20:00,630 --> 02:19:58,080 information-based simulated world uh 3652 02:20:03,030 --> 02:20:00,640 than not uh i think the model of being 3653 02:20:04,870 --> 02:20:03,040 in a physical world just doesn't match 3654 02:20:07,910 --> 02:20:04,880 you know many of the findings of of 3655 02:20:10,389 --> 02:20:07,920 either quantum physics or of what we've 3656 02:20:12,469 --> 02:20:10,399 been hearing from mystics and spiritual 3657 02:20:16,070 --> 02:20:12,479 traditions it certainly 3658 02:20:19,030 --> 02:20:16,080 answers a lot of questions when you look 3659 02:20:22,710 --> 02:20:19,040 at things like not only the question of 3660 02:20:24,309 --> 02:20:22,720 of ufos or or uh sp faster than speed of 3661 02:20:26,309 --> 02:20:24,319 light or 3662 02:20:30,309 --> 02:20:26,319 it answers all of that because it's a 3663 02:20:33,030 --> 02:20:30,319 simulation one two like uh us homo 3664 02:20:36,150 --> 02:20:33,040 sapien sapien how we just appeared here 3665 02:20:39,190 --> 02:20:36,160 200 000 years ago and we don't match 3666 02:20:42,710 --> 02:20:39,200 there is no missing link there isn't we 3667 02:20:45,670 --> 02:20:42,720 just appeared well maybe we're just npcs 3668 02:20:48,230 --> 02:20:45,680 in a simulation right or who built the 3669 02:20:50,150 --> 02:20:48,240 pyramids we can't figure that out well 3670 02:20:53,750 --> 02:20:50,160 if it's just something that's created in 3671 02:20:55,670 --> 02:20:53,760 a simulation right it seems to answer 3672 02:20:58,070 --> 02:20:55,680 all of those puzzling questions we have 3673 02:20:59,590 --> 02:20:58,080 about ourselves 3674 02:21:01,030 --> 02:20:59,600 yeah and you know there's a chapter in 3675 02:21:02,630 --> 02:21:01,040 the book about kind of this all this 3676 02:21:04,469 --> 02:21:02,640 unexplained phenomena 3677 02:21:06,870 --> 02:21:04,479 like remote viewing 3678 02:21:08,469 --> 02:21:06,880 auto body experiences 3679 02:21:11,190 --> 02:21:08,479 and ufos 3680 02:21:12,469 --> 02:21:11,200 and how if we're in a simulation if this 3681 02:21:16,150 --> 02:21:12,479 makes sense i mean if you think about 3682 02:21:17,910 --> 02:21:16,160 ufos right some of the puzzling things 3683 02:21:19,590 --> 02:21:17,920 for scientists are 3684 02:21:21,110 --> 02:21:19,600 you know there's reports of them just 3685 02:21:23,190 --> 02:21:21,120 materializing 3686 02:21:25,270 --> 02:21:23,200 out of nowhere right 3687 02:21:26,550 --> 02:21:25,280 and so the question is are they physical 3688 02:21:28,550 --> 02:21:26,560 or are they not 3689 02:21:30,230 --> 02:21:28,560 how could they just appear and then 3690 02:21:32,150 --> 02:21:30,240 uh you know in my conversations with 3691 02:21:33,349 --> 02:21:32,160 researchers like like shock valley you 3692 02:21:35,349 --> 02:21:33,359 know he mentioned 3693 02:21:37,670 --> 02:21:35,359 that sometimes you'll have a case where 3694 02:21:39,830 --> 02:21:37,680 one person sees the ufo 3695 02:21:42,230 --> 02:21:39,840 and the other person doesn't right it's 3696 02:21:43,670 --> 02:21:42,240 almost like they're beaming subjective 3697 02:21:45,510 --> 02:21:43,680 information 3698 02:21:46,950 --> 02:21:45,520 well turns out 3699 02:21:48,870 --> 02:21:46,960 in a video game 3700 02:21:52,150 --> 02:21:48,880 you know you and i could are rendering 3701 02:21:55,349 --> 02:21:52,160 the world in our computers or in our own 3702 02:21:57,670 --> 02:21:55,359 consciousness it's very possible to beam 3703 02:22:00,070 --> 02:21:57,680 slightly different information to us so 3704 02:22:02,230 --> 02:22:00,080 that you see the room or the sky 3705 02:22:04,630 --> 02:22:02,240 landscape without the ufo and i see it 3706 02:22:07,110 --> 02:22:04,640 with the ufo there like that's one of 3707 02:22:09,910 --> 02:22:07,120 the only ways you could kind of explain 3708 02:22:12,870 --> 02:22:09,920 these these types of things like bigfoot 3709 02:22:14,950 --> 02:22:12,880 right like bigfoot 3710 02:22:16,550 --> 02:22:14,960 right well yeah i mean you've got all 3711 02:22:17,590 --> 02:22:16,560 kinds of different i mean bigfoot now 3712 02:22:20,150 --> 02:22:17,600 you're into 3713 02:22:20,950 --> 02:22:20,160 different genealogies and lineage and 3714 02:22:23,349 --> 02:22:20,960 and 3715 02:22:26,790 --> 02:22:23,359 you know where does it fit in into the 3716 02:22:28,790 --> 02:22:26,800 the the uh anthropological well you you 3717 02:22:30,870 --> 02:22:28,800 really want to take it in a in a crazy 3718 02:22:32,389 --> 02:22:30,880 direction then we have a 3719 02:22:33,990 --> 02:22:32,399 phenomenon like 3720 02:22:34,870 --> 02:22:34,000 slenderman 3721 02:22:37,590 --> 02:22:34,880 right 3722 02:22:40,070 --> 02:22:37,600 and if we're living in a simulation that 3723 02:22:40,950 --> 02:22:40,080 certainly answers a lot of questions 3724 02:22:44,870 --> 02:22:40,960 about 3725 02:22:47,670 --> 02:22:44,880 slender man or ghosts or the paranormal 3726 02:22:49,270 --> 02:22:47,680 or or or or ufo abductions right i mean 3727 02:22:51,429 --> 02:22:49,280 how do they 3728 02:22:52,790 --> 02:22:51,439 just appear in your room 3729 02:22:55,190 --> 02:22:52,800 and how do you 3730 02:22:57,670 --> 02:22:55,200 end up going through the walls 3731 02:22:59,750 --> 02:22:57,680 you know into a ship if if you know we 3732 02:23:01,030 --> 02:22:59,760 look at those stories 3733 02:23:02,870 --> 02:23:01,040 and 3734 02:23:06,070 --> 02:23:02,880 you know i look at it as 3735 02:23:09,030 --> 02:23:06,080 you know whatever you believe 3736 02:23:10,550 --> 02:23:09,040 there should be a model that can explain 3737 02:23:12,070 --> 02:23:10,560 you know how something like that could 3738 02:23:13,830 --> 02:23:12,080 work and you know i'm an engineer by 3739 02:23:15,750 --> 02:23:13,840 background so i like to try to 3740 02:23:17,030 --> 02:23:15,760 figure out how things work and you know 3741 02:23:19,429 --> 02:23:17,040 the reason 3742 02:23:21,349 --> 02:23:19,439 you know relativity is accepted today is 3743 02:23:23,750 --> 02:23:21,359 it was a better model than classical 3744 02:23:25,190 --> 02:23:23,760 physics for what was actually observed 3745 02:23:27,190 --> 02:23:25,200 so i think if you look at many of these 3746 02:23:29,190 --> 02:23:27,200 areas these fringe areas 3747 02:23:30,150 --> 02:23:29,200 the simulation hypothesis is a better 3748 02:23:33,190 --> 02:23:30,160 model 3749 02:23:34,469 --> 02:23:33,200 than you know what uh physicists have 3750 02:23:37,590 --> 02:23:34,479 been telling us 3751 02:23:39,110 --> 02:23:37,600 uh as a physical world and so i you know 3752 02:23:43,190 --> 02:23:39,120 it tends to fit 3753 02:23:44,630 --> 02:23:43,200 useful model and therefore i think it's 3754 02:23:46,469 --> 02:23:44,640 it's a better model and i think more and 3755 02:23:49,110 --> 02:23:46,479 more people are waking up to it it's 3756 02:23:52,870 --> 02:23:49,120 still controversial right i mean to a 3757 02:23:55,429 --> 02:23:52,880 point but you're able to now uh you can 3758 02:23:59,110 --> 02:23:55,439 walk around the halls of mit 3759 02:24:02,389 --> 02:23:59,120 and and have these ideas about e.t or 3760 02:24:04,550 --> 02:24:02,399 the paranormal uh riz but just wrap it 3761 02:24:06,550 --> 02:24:04,560 right into the simulation hypothesis and 3762 02:24:09,030 --> 02:24:06,560 quantum mechanics and you're in a safe 3763 02:24:10,309 --> 02:24:09,040 zone right i mean you can actually have 3764 02:24:12,309 --> 02:24:10,319 these conversations i can actually have 3765 02:24:14,630 --> 02:24:12,319 an intelligent conversation with them 3766 02:24:17,429 --> 02:24:14,640 with people at mit assuming the 3767 02:24:18,950 --> 02:24:17,439 simulation hypothesis whereas you know 3768 02:24:20,950 --> 02:24:18,960 if we weren't assuming the simulation 3769 02:24:22,630 --> 02:24:20,960 hypothesis people there wouldn't 3770 02:24:24,389 --> 02:24:22,640 necessarily take that conversation 3771 02:24:25,750 --> 02:24:24,399 seriously they take it much more 3772 02:24:29,030 --> 02:24:25,760 seriously 3773 02:24:31,670 --> 02:24:29,040 as part of a computational based model 3774 02:24:33,349 --> 02:24:31,680 of how the world works you know and i'm 3775 02:24:35,910 --> 02:24:33,359 one of the few people 3776 02:24:37,750 --> 02:24:35,920 who has experimented with and talk about 3777 02:24:39,429 --> 02:24:37,760 this stuff and we did shamanic 3778 02:24:40,550 --> 02:24:39,439 journeying at the mit media lab you know 3779 02:24:42,950 --> 02:24:40,560 last year 3780 02:24:45,910 --> 02:24:42,960 which is uh not something that normally 3781 02:24:48,790 --> 02:24:45,920 goes on so but so that's why you wrote 3782 02:24:50,150 --> 02:24:48,800 the book ah 3783 02:24:51,990 --> 02:24:50,160 yeah because i mean i spend you know 3784 02:24:54,230 --> 02:24:52,000 part of my time with people in in the 3785 02:24:55,670 --> 02:24:54,240 technological world in the scientific 3786 02:24:57,750 --> 02:24:55,680 world in the video game world and part 3787 02:25:00,309 --> 02:24:57,760 of my time you know with people in 3788 02:25:02,230 --> 02:25:00,319 kind of these more these other areas and 3789 02:25:04,710 --> 02:25:02,240 so this gives me the opportunity to be 3790 02:25:06,309 --> 02:25:04,720 able to talk to all people on all sides 3791 02:25:08,469 --> 02:25:06,319 so wait a minute you did a shaman 3792 02:25:09,990 --> 02:25:08,479 workshop at mit were you guys smoking 3793 02:25:12,389 --> 02:25:10,000 dmt 3794 02:25:14,950 --> 02:25:12,399 no we didn't use any pod or any drugs it 3795 02:25:16,870 --> 02:25:14,960 was just using shamanic drumming it was 3796 02:25:19,190 --> 02:25:16,880 uh it was couched during stress relief 3797 02:25:21,510 --> 02:25:19,200 for entrepreneurs 3798 02:25:23,190 --> 02:25:21,520 and so it was it was one method uh you 3799 02:25:25,110 --> 02:25:23,200 know meditation now and mindfulness is 3800 02:25:27,030 --> 02:25:25,120 accepted pretty much at mit and other 3801 02:25:29,349 --> 02:25:27,040 places as well so this was yet another 3802 02:25:31,750 --> 02:25:29,359 way to try to relax people that were 3803 02:25:34,950 --> 02:25:31,760 stressed out an amazing conversation 3804 02:25:37,510 --> 02:25:34,960 tonight rizz and now the book comes out 3805 02:25:38,630 --> 02:25:37,520 uh the 31st in in 3806 02:25:55,910 --> 02:25:38,640 a 3807 02:25:58,630 --> 02:25:55,920 highly highly highly recommend the book 3808 02:26:01,429 --> 02:25:58,640 and one of the cool things uh for me 3809 02:26:04,630 --> 02:26:01,439 about the book is that you do take 3810 02:26:07,750 --> 02:26:04,640 each one of these approaches to the 3811 02:26:11,190 --> 02:26:07,760 simulation hypothesis which is uh video 3812 02:26:14,630 --> 02:26:11,200 gaming uh computers science physics and 3813 02:26:16,469 --> 02:26:14,640 of course religion and mythology and you 3814 02:26:18,790 --> 02:26:16,479 take each one of those approaches and 3815 02:26:21,270 --> 02:26:18,800 you break it down comprehensively it's 3816 02:26:22,790 --> 02:26:21,280 really well done 3817 02:26:23,830 --> 02:26:22,800 thank you yeah i really wanted to 3818 02:26:26,150 --> 02:26:23,840 explore 3819 02:26:27,429 --> 02:26:26,160 each of these areas and kind of you know 3820 02:26:28,870 --> 02:26:27,439 show how 3821 02:26:31,190 --> 02:26:28,880 you know there are very few models that 3822 02:26:33,270 --> 02:26:31,200 can explain all of these things and and 3823 02:26:36,070 --> 02:26:33,280 it's one of the the few that can do that 3824 02:26:38,550 --> 02:26:36,080 and you know einstein once said science 3825 02:26:40,070 --> 02:26:38,560 without religion is lame and 3826 02:26:41,910 --> 02:26:40,080 religion without science is blind or 3827 02:26:42,710 --> 02:26:41,920 maybe it was the other way around right 3828 02:26:44,710 --> 02:26:42,720 but 3829 02:26:46,790 --> 02:26:44,720 you know it used to be okay 3830 02:26:48,630 --> 02:26:46,800 for scientists to talk about 3831 02:26:51,750 --> 02:26:48,640 religion and somehow 3832 02:26:53,910 --> 02:26:51,760 you know we in 500 years we've gone from 3833 02:26:56,150 --> 02:26:53,920 the church suppressing science to now 3834 02:26:57,750 --> 02:26:56,160 scientists in a way suppressing religion 3835 02:27:00,309 --> 02:26:57,760 or not taking it seriously and the 3836 02:27:02,309 --> 02:27:00,319 simulation hypothesis is a key that 3837 02:27:04,790 --> 02:27:02,319 unlocks the door to the mysteries of the 3838 02:27:06,710 --> 02:27:04,800 universe uh and makes it so that we can 3839 02:27:09,750 --> 02:27:06,720 talk about it you know with people at 3840 02:27:10,870 --> 02:27:09,760 mit and stanford as well as you know on 3841 02:27:26,070 --> 02:27:10,880 a 3842 02:27:28,830 --> 02:27:26,080 uh it is 3843 02:27:30,790 --> 02:27:28,840 uh very easy to get to go to zen 3844 02:27:33,270 --> 02:27:30,800 entrepreneur.com you can also click on 3845 02:27:35,110 --> 02:27:33,280 the links over at jimmychurchradio.com 3846 02:27:37,750 --> 02:27:35,120 you can pre-order the book now it is 3847 02:27:40,630 --> 02:27:37,760 called the simulation hypothesis it's 3848 02:27:42,790 --> 02:27:40,640 got illustrations broken down it's 3849 02:27:44,630 --> 02:27:42,800 really well done i highly

02:37:05,990 --> 02:37:02,319 have the reasons uh why 4055 02:37:08,150 --> 02:37:06,000 it is a a real possibility so i would 4056 02:37:10,389 --> 02:37:08,160 suggest anybody listening to this show 4057 02:37:12,309 --> 02:37:10,399 right now after you know first you know 4058 02:37:14,790 --> 02:37:12,319 go and get rizz's book and mike i want 4059 02:37:17,429 --> 02:37:14,800 to thank you for the phone call is uh 4060 02:37:19,510 --> 02:37:17,439 yeah thank you and get rizz's book 4061 02:37:21,670 --> 02:37:19,520 that's the first thing in second just go 4062 02:37:23,990 --> 02:37:21,680 and start to look at 4063 02:37:25,750 --> 02:37:24,000 uh the different scientists around the 4064 02:37:27,349 --> 02:37:25,760 world that discuss this it's it's 4065 02:37:30,469 --> 02:37:27,359 amazing 4066 02:37:32,550 --> 02:37:30,479 and it's it's when you when you when you 4067 02:37:33,910 --> 02:37:32,560 hear people debate this or talk about 4068 02:37:36,150 --> 02:37:33,920 this or 4069 02:37:38,469 --> 02:37:36,160 or present their ideas about this inside 4070 02:37:40,469 --> 02:37:38,479 of our community that's one thing and 4071 02:37:42,630 --> 02:37:40,479 then go and see what others are 4072 02:37:45,990 --> 02:37:42,640 suggesting here it's powerful the 4073 02:37:47,270 --> 02:37:46,000 material out there is strong let's uh 4074 02:37:49,670 --> 02:37:47,280 let's go back to the phones how you're 4075 02:37:51,510 --> 02:37:49,680 live on fade to black who's calling 4076 02:37:53,190 --> 02:37:51,520 hey jimmy it's sandy sorry about that i 4077 02:37:55,910 --> 02:37:53,200 thought it was you i wanted to make sure 4078 02:37:58,309 --> 02:37:55,920 all right sandy what did he do uh for 4079 02:38:01,030 --> 02:37:58,319 the video game doom 4080 02:38:04,550 --> 02:38:01,040 doom 3. he's a he's a 3d computer 4081 02:38:06,870 --> 02:38:04,560 animator and what does he think about 4082 02:38:09,270 --> 02:38:06,880 us living in a simulation because he's 4083 02:38:12,790 --> 02:38:09,280 creating him himself 4084 02:38:13,590 --> 02:38:12,800 oh he's there yeah he definitely thinks 4085 02:38:15,190 --> 02:38:13,600 that 4086 02:38:17,190 --> 02:38:15,200 there is 4087 02:38:19,030 --> 02:38:17,200 some kind of 4088 02:38:20,950 --> 02:38:19,040 man behind the curtain whether it's our 4089 02:38:24,870 --> 02:38:20,960 own or something 4090 02:38:28,389 --> 02:38:24,880 but we also are very um 4091 02:38:29,670 --> 02:38:28,399 we walk with jesus and so we have that 4092 02:38:32,150 --> 02:38:29,680 also 4093 02:38:35,670 --> 02:38:32,160 what what okay okay 4094 02:38:36,630 --> 02:38:35,680 i i was actually going to go there 4095 02:38:38,550 --> 02:38:36,640 uh 4096 02:38:40,870 --> 02:38:38,560 what does this do 4097 02:38:42,790 --> 02:38:40,880 with god i mean how does god come into 4098 02:38:44,230 --> 02:38:42,800 play now well if 4099 02:38:46,950 --> 02:38:44,240 what we always say when we have 4100 02:38:48,710 --> 02:38:46,960 discussions about anything that's 4101 02:38:50,309 --> 02:38:48,720 controversial or whatever 4102 02:38:52,309 --> 02:38:50,319 debate you know 4103 02:38:54,389 --> 02:38:52,319 we always go back to no matter what 4104 02:38:56,469 --> 02:38:54,399 anyone believes there's a creator of it 4105 02:38:59,270 --> 02:38:56,479 all and we believe it's jesus 4106 02:39:00,469 --> 02:38:59,280 and that's kind of where we leave it 4107 02:39:03,190 --> 02:39:00,479 that's it 4108 02:39:05,750 --> 02:39:03,200 okay so 4109 02:39:08,630 --> 02:39:05,760 you know all the greatness and the 4110 02:39:10,630 --> 02:39:08,640 quantum physics and the genius and the 4111 02:39:13,750 --> 02:39:10,640 ideas behind it 4112 02:39:15,510 --> 02:39:13,760 it came from somewhere to begin with 4113 02:39:17,670 --> 02:39:15,520 the 4114 02:39:20,630 --> 02:39:17,680 question of faith 4115 02:39:23,429 --> 02:39:20,640 uh is a weird thing to mix 4116 02:39:25,510 --> 02:39:23,439 when you're dealing with ones and zeros 4117 02:39:26,630 --> 02:39:25,520 and writing code and creating 3d 4118 02:39:28,150 --> 02:39:26,640 environments 4119 02:39:29,030 --> 02:39:28,160 it is 4120 02:39:30,710 --> 02:39:29,040 but 4121 02:39:31,750 --> 02:39:30,720 he created the people who are writing 4122 02:39:33,670 --> 02:39:31,760 the code 4123 02:39:36,070 --> 02:39:33,680 i believe 4124 02:39:38,389 --> 02:39:36,080 if okay so let's let's let's 4125 02:39:40,070 --> 02:39:38,399 make us go into a simulation and the 4126 02:39:41,830 --> 02:39:40,080 reason that we don't die is one thing i 4127 02:39:44,309 --> 02:39:41,840 subscribe to is because we do have to 4128 02:39:45,510 --> 02:39:44,319 cut we do have to continue to grow and 4129 02:39:47,670 --> 02:39:45,520 learn 4130 02:39:49,429 --> 02:39:47,680 and now when you talk about the parallel 4131 02:39:51,750 --> 02:39:49,439 universes can't those be the other 4132 02:39:53,590 --> 02:39:51,760 dimensions and can they exist i believe 4133 02:39:54,790 --> 02:39:53,600 they can and i believe he created them 4134 02:39:57,190 --> 02:39:54,800 as well 4135 02:39:58,870 --> 02:39:57,200 okay so let's let's let's back up a 4136 02:40:00,309 --> 02:39:58,880 couple of steps not not in this 4137 02:40:03,750 --> 02:40:00,319 conversation 4138 02:40:04,950 --> 02:40:03,760 but in our timeline okay 4139 02:40:08,630 --> 02:40:04,960 if we 4140 02:40:10,950 --> 02:40:08,640 are dealing with uh an artificial 4141 02:40:13,270 --> 02:40:10,960 reality we're living in a simulation 4142 02:40:15,590 --> 02:40:13,280 that this is created and and we're just 4143 02:40:19,030 --> 02:40:15,600 role players right okay 4144 02:40:22,150 --> 02:40:19,040 then somebody had to write and create 4145 02:40:24,550 --> 02:40:22,160 said code and environment 4146 02:40:26,469 --> 02:40:24,560 so if we back up further than that 4147 02:40:28,870 --> 02:40:26,479 somebody has to come up with the idea 4148 02:40:31,190 --> 02:40:28,880 and present the project to all of the 4149 02:40:34,150 --> 02:40:31,200 engineers and code writers i know how 4150 02:40:36,309 --> 02:40:34,160 far back you know right is that god is 4151 02:40:39,110 --> 02:40:36,319 that who you are saying that god is and 4152 02:40:41,110 --> 02:40:39,120 that's just me i am oh you know that i 4153 02:40:42,950 --> 02:40:41,120 don't push it on anyone but that's how i 4154 02:40:45,429 --> 02:40:42,960 walk because i push it all back to him 4155 02:40:47,270 --> 02:40:45,439 no matter when i start to go oh my gosh 4156 02:40:49,429 --> 02:40:47,280 you know then i just go well you have a 4157 02:40:51,030 --> 02:40:49,439 plan if i'm stimulated then i'm 4158 02:40:52,790 --> 02:40:51,040 stimulated and you know what if i am 4159 02:40:55,349 --> 02:40:52,800 stimulated and i can wrap my head around 4160 02:40:56,950 --> 02:40:55,359 that then i'm going to try and make my 4161 02:40:59,110 --> 02:40:56,960 stimulation better 4162 02:41:01,270 --> 02:40:59,120 for myself because why would we want to 4163 02:41:03,590 --> 02:41:01,280 live in such misery we all seem to be so 4164 02:41:06,150 --> 02:41:03,600 damn miserable 4165 02:41:08,469 --> 02:41:06,160 and that's part of the simulation right 4166 02:41:09,990 --> 02:41:08,479 that's ridiculous then if that's the 4167 02:41:12,550 --> 02:41:10,000 fact and 4168 02:41:14,469 --> 02:41:12,560 that's a sad thing to be stimulating all 4169 02:41:17,190 --> 02:41:14,479 of us and all of us to have the same 4170 02:41:20,389 --> 02:41:17,200 kind of simulation 4171 02:41:23,030 --> 02:41:20,399 well okay and and goes into that one 4172 02:41:24,550 --> 02:41:23,040 thing with all the things you don't even 4173 02:41:26,150 --> 02:41:24,560 need because you just you know there's 4174 02:41:27,830 --> 02:41:26,160 so many simulations you could just have 4175 02:41:29,510 --> 02:41:27,840 that one thing with the zillions of 4176 02:41:32,630 --> 02:41:29,520 simulations 4177 02:41:33,830 --> 02:41:32,640 but if if you look at uh 4178 02:41:35,590 --> 02:41:33,840 different 4179 02:41:36,950 --> 02:41:35,600 games uh 4180 02:41:39,429 --> 02:41:36,960 that are out there like world of 4181 02:41:40,630 --> 02:41:39,439 warcraft or sims right 4182 02:41:42,630 --> 02:41:40,640 where 4183 02:41:45,510 --> 02:41:42,640 you have all of those different 4184 02:41:46,389 --> 02:41:45,520 characters some are bad some are good 4185 02:41:51,830 --> 02:41:46,399 you 4186 02:41:53,990 --> 02:41:51,840 succeed and live a wonderful life 4187 02:41:56,070 --> 02:41:54,000 sometimes you just die 4188 02:41:59,030 --> 02:41:56,080 well isn't that exactly what we're 4189 02:42:00,790 --> 02:41:59,040 living with here on planet earth 4190 02:42:03,190 --> 02:42:00,800 it is 4191 02:42:06,230 --> 02:42:03,200 it's very i just think expected 4192 02:42:06,950 --> 02:42:06,240 trying to make it better 4193 02:42:08,630 --> 02:42:06,960 so 4194 02:42:10,309 --> 02:42:08,640 i i finally i don't think look through 4195 02:42:11,750 --> 02:42:10,319 these simulations and we've got the bad 4196 02:42:13,830 --> 02:42:11,760 and the good and we 4197 02:42:15,270 --> 02:42:13,840 you know they're they're then it goes 4198 02:42:16,150 --> 02:42:15,280 back to theirs the people are going to 4199 02:42:17,590 --> 02:42:16,160 just 4200 02:42:18,790 --> 02:42:17,600 present that bad all the time and 4201 02:42:20,870 --> 02:42:18,800 they're the ones who can present the 4202 02:42:23,910 --> 02:42:20,880 good all the time yeah very fascinating 4203 02:42:27,030 --> 02:42:23,920 that you're you would be okay with it 4204 02:42:29,990 --> 02:42:27,040 well why do we sandy let me ask you this 4205 02:42:32,550 --> 02:42:30,000 why do we die then if it's a simulation 4206 02:42:33,429 --> 02:42:32,560 do you think we die jimmy we die in the 4207 02:42:36,309 --> 02:42:33,439 game 4208 02:42:42,469 --> 02:42:40,469 yeah see fascinating rear 4209 02:42:43,349 --> 02:42:42,479 after dinner we go and play again right 4210 02:42:45,670 --> 02:42:43,359 right 4211 02:42:47,830 --> 02:42:45,680 sandy you're smart what's your husband's 4212 02:42:48,790 --> 02:42:47,840 name 4213 02:42:50,870 --> 02:42:48,800 well 4214 02:42:52,870 --> 02:42:50,880 do you think we die jimmy 4215 02:42:56,469 --> 02:42:52,880 um 4216 02:42:58,870 --> 02:42:56,479 no i i do not i do not that would 4217 02:43:01,030 --> 02:42:58,880 certainly uh bum me out 4218 02:43:03,349 --> 02:43:01,040 i always wanted to ask you this do you 4219 02:43:05,990 --> 02:43:03,359 think that you 4220 02:43:08,550 --> 02:43:06,000 turned a corner and became somewhat 4221 02:43:10,070 --> 02:43:08,560 lighter and open-minded and maybe even a 4222 02:43:11,590 --> 02:43:10,080 little less 4223 02:43:13,590 --> 02:43:11,600 empty 4224 02:43:14,870 --> 02:43:13,600 glass when you met rita 4225 02:43:17,590 --> 02:43:14,880 well 4226 02:43:20,389 --> 02:43:17,600 when that happens in anybody's life of 4227 02:43:23,030 --> 02:43:20,399 course things change and 4228 02:43:27,270 --> 02:43:25,190 look you always 4229 02:43:28,630 --> 02:43:27,280 uh i think that anybody that is 4230 02:43:32,070 --> 02:43:28,640 successful 4231 02:43:33,750 --> 02:43:32,080 um or finds their bliss or happiness you 4232 02:43:38,309 --> 02:43:33,760 don't do that alone 4233 02:43:41,830 --> 02:43:38,319 right and so you uh you need somebody 4234 02:43:43,030 --> 02:43:41,840 uh always beside you to not only for 4235 02:43:44,469 --> 02:43:43,040 support 4236 02:43:45,510 --> 02:43:44,479 but to 4237 02:43:51,110 --> 02:43:45,520 um 4238 02:43:53,030 --> 02:43:51,120 things and that creates that happiness 4239 02:43:55,830 --> 02:43:53,040 in a way where each we're each other's 4240 02:43:58,469 --> 02:43:55,840 handlers yeah i don't think uh somebody 4241 02:44:00,469 --> 02:43:58,479 that's found happiness and true bliss 4242 02:44:02,710 --> 02:44:00,479 does that alone 4243 02:44:04,870 --> 02:44:02,720 right i don't i don't think that well i 4244 02:44:06,469 --> 02:44:04,880 i guess anything is possible but you 4245 02:44:08,309 --> 02:44:06,479 know what i'm saying you're not going to 4246 02:44:12,150 --> 02:44:08,319 do that alone some of it's got to be 4247 02:44:15,349 --> 02:44:13,510 and what's your what's your better 4248 02:44:18,790 --> 02:44:15,359 half's name 4249

questions 4294 02:46:13,750 --> 02:46:11,760 that i want answered and i don't think 4295 02:46:16,870 --> 02:46:13,760 that right now 4296 02:46:18,150 --> 02:46:16,880 uh he i mean because we could come on he 4297 02:46:19,750 --> 02:46:18,160 could come on the show we could have a 4298 02:46:21,510 --> 02:46:19,760 wonderful conversation we're going to 4299 02:46:23,670 --> 02:46:21,520 talk about all things tsa and everything 4300 02:46:25,830 --> 02:46:23,680 that they're working on but to get to 4301 02:46:27,830 --> 02:46:25,840 that part of the show 4302 02:46:30,710 --> 02:46:27,840 first he's got to 4303 02:46:32,630 --> 02:46:30,720 stand up and answer a list of questions 4304 02:46:35,990 --> 02:46:32,640 of which chris 4305 02:46:38,469 --> 02:46:36,000 i did email him i emailed him 10 4306 02:46:41,990 --> 02:46:38,479 questions that i i want to get to the 4307 02:46:43,910 --> 02:46:42,000 bottom of and none of them have been uh 4308 02:46:46,710 --> 02:46:43,920 addressed either 4309 02:46:48,710 --> 02:46:46,720 publicly or privately and there you go 4310 02:46:50,070 --> 02:46:48,720 so i don't think he's prepared to go and 4311 02:46:50,950 --> 02:46:50,080 and do that 4312 02:46:53,030 --> 02:46:50,960 and 4313 02:46:55,190 --> 02:46:53,040 it just seems like the longer he waits 4314 02:46:56,710 --> 02:46:55,200 you know the that list is going to grow 4315 02:46:57,750 --> 02:46:56,720 double triple 4316 02:47:00,150 --> 02:46:57,760 um 4317 02:47:03,429 --> 02:47:00,160 there is my take on it yeah there that 4318 02:47:05,349 --> 02:47:03,439 that's certainly uh reality that's not a 4319 02:47:07,030 --> 02:47:05,359 possibility i think that that is a 4320 02:47:08,070 --> 02:47:07,040 reality but 4321 02:47:11,030 --> 02:47:08,080 um 4322 02:47:14,150 --> 02:47:11,040 my my list of ten questions 4323 02:47:16,389 --> 02:47:14,160 um is is actually pretty old now if i 4324 02:47:17,830 --> 02:47:16,399 went back and modified that it would 4325 02:47:18,870 --> 02:47:17,840 probably be 4326 02:47:21,349 --> 02:47:18,880 50 4327 02:47:23,910 --> 02:47:21,359 questions because a lot of stuff has 4328 02:47:26,550 --> 02:47:23,920 a lot of stuff as as has happened over 4329 02:47:28,230 --> 02:47:26,560 the last year but the the one thing that 4330 02:47:30,230 --> 02:47:28,240 i'm thankful for 4331 02:47:31,830 --> 02:47:30,240 and i know that tom listens to this show 4332 02:47:33,670 --> 02:47:31,840 the one thing that i'm thankful for is 4333 02:47:36,630 --> 02:47:33,680 that he's out there pushing 4334 02:47:38,070 --> 02:47:36,640 the ufo question further further out 4335 02:47:39,030 --> 02:47:38,080 into the public 4336 02:47:42,230 --> 02:47:39,040 and 4337 02:47:46,389 --> 02:47:42,240 one of the things that i really enjoy 4338 02:47:48,790 --> 02:47:46,399 is the music community out there which 4339 02:47:51,830 --> 02:47:48,800 you know you look at say a band like

or or or 4343 02:48:03,510 --> 02:47:59,920 that um 4344 02:48:06,230 --> 02:48:03,520 the more that we discuss this we expose 4345 02:48:08,630 --> 02:48:06,240 and pull them into 4346 02:48:09,670 --> 02:48:08,640 our community you know what i mean and 4347 02:48:16,070 --> 02:48:09,680 that's what 4348 02:48:18,710 --> 02:48:16,080 fully fully appreciate that you know his 4349 02:48:20,630 --> 02:48:18,720 fans have known that he's been into ufos 4350 02:48:23,030 --> 02:48:20,640 for a very long time his band members 4351 02:48:24,389 --> 02:48:23,040 talk about it and uh have talked about 4352 02:48:27,670 --> 02:48:24,399 it in the past and that's what i'm 4353 02:48:29,190 --> 02:48:27,680 appreciative of what i what i don't like 4354 02:48:31,110 --> 02:48:29,200 are the mistakes

--> 02:49:16,800 okay this what you're talking about i'll 4377 02:49:24,150 --> 02:49:20,000 explain this to the audience that uh 4378 02:49:27,190 --> 02:49:24,160 uh tom reached out to uh dr greer many 4379 02:49:30,070 --> 02:49:27,200 many years ago when he started to 4380 02:49:31,110 --> 02:49:30,080 get into the research of this and our 4381 02:49:32,550 --> 02:49:31,120 community 4382

4388 02:49:49,030 --> 02:49:46,319 question 4389 02:49:50,710 --> 02:49:49,040 that needs to be you know thrown at uh 4390 02:49:53,269 --> 02:49:50,720 either one of them 4391 02:49:55,349 -->

02:52:27,279 tapped into something i mean i've tried 4459 02:52:31,910 --> 02:52:30,160 to see e5 protocol and it works i i 4460 02:52:33,349 --> 02:52:31,920 couldn't believe what i was seeing 4461 02:52:35,269 --> 02:52:33,359 and um 4462 02:52:36,710 --> 02:52:35,279 it's just go show you i mean obviously 4463 02:52:38,230 --> 02:52:36,720 he was 4464 02:52:40,790 --> 02:52:38,240 i don't know that the back story about 4465 02:52:41,910 --> 02:52:40,800 it he came out communicating with et and 4466 02:52:43,830 --> 02:52:41,920 they went over this protocol and 4467 02:52:45,830 --> 02:52:43,840 developed it together but who knows 4468 02:52:48,469 --> 02:52:45,840 where that came from but 4469 02:52:50,309 --> 02:52:48,479 his method works i've tried it i mean a 4470 02:52:51,670 --> 02:52:50,319 handful of times and 4471 02:52:52,630 --> 02:52:51,680 um 4472 02:52:55,830 --> 02:52:52,640 it's just 4473 02:52:58,950 --> 02:52:55,840 they really just need to bring it to the 4474 02:53:02,389 --> 02:52:58,960 forefront yeah chris this the ce5 uh 4475 02:53:06,230 --> 02:53:02,399 protocol um which i've done 4476 02:53:07,110 --> 02:53:06,240 uh with with costas mcraeus and and his 4477 02:53:08,710 --> 02:53:07,120 wife 4478 02:53:11,990 --> 02:53:08,720 the um 4479 02:53:13,830 --> 02:53:12,000 i i think this is this is my take all 4480 02:53:15,910 --> 02:53:13,840 right this is just my own personal 4481 02:53:18,070 --> 02:53:15,920 experience that there is something going 4482 02:53:19,910 --> 02:53:18,080 on with that at a consciousness level 4483 02:53:20,710 --> 02:53:19,920 there's something going on 4484 02:53:23,670 --> 02:53:20,720 uh 4485 02:53:26,469 --> 02:53:23,680 within the ether and you're letting 4486 02:53:29,510 --> 02:53:26,479 something out there know that you want 4487 02:53:31,830 --> 02:53:29,520 contact and it expo whether it's et or 4488 02:53:34,550 --> 02:53:31,840 something interdimensional it's us from 4489 02:53:36,469 --> 02:53:34,560 the future i don't know what it is but 4490 02:53:39,670 --> 02:53:36,479 certainly things appear 4491 02:53:41,510 --> 02:53:39,680 and i i i don't think you necessarily 4492 02:53:43,670 --> 02:53:41,520 need to 4493 02:53:46,870 --> 02:53:43,680 uh in fact i know you don't 4494 02:53:48,870 --> 02:53:46,880 to follow the ce5 protocols by the book 4495 02:53:49,750 --> 02:53:48,880 you know and do a ceremony 4496 02:53:52,469 --> 02:53:49,760 no 4497 02:53:55,429 --> 02:53:52,479 all you got to do is show the intent 4498 02:53:57,750 --> 02:53:55,439 because i go out there and trust me i am 4499 02:54:00,389 --> 02:53:57,760 the opposite of ce5 4500 02:54:02,790 --> 02:54:00,399 i'm loud i'm stupid you say that before 4501 02:54:03,830 --> 02:54:02,800 i i'm time to ask anybody that's done it 4502 02:54:05,349 --> 02:54:03,840 with me 4503 02:54:07,830 --> 02:54:05,359 right yeah 4504 02:54:10,309 --> 02:54:07,840 it's just about uh being happy 4505 02:54:13,110 --> 02:54:10,319 open-minded and and wanting something to 4506 02:54:15,110 --> 02:54:13,120 happen and i'm telling you man uh i've 4507 02:54:17,590 --> 02:54:15,120 been out there with a couple hundred 4508 02:54:20,230 --> 02:54:17,600 people and we've lit up the skies 4509 02:54:23,190 --> 02:54:20,240 and and i can be i could go out in my 4510 02:54:24,630 --> 02:54:23,200 backyard here in burbank and and look up 4511 02:54:27,590 --> 02:54:24,640 and see nothing 4512 02:54:30,469 --> 02:54:27,600 nothing but in the same sky 4513 02:54:32,710 --> 02:54:30,479 50 miles away and and going out it's the 4514 02:54:34,870 --> 02:54:32,720 same stars it's the same thing it's the 4515 02:54:37,110 --> 02:54:34,880 same stuff and and suddenly we're 4516 02:54:39,030 --> 02:54:37,120 lighting up the skies with craziness i 4517 02:54:41,590 --> 02:54:39,040 can't explain that but i think it's 4518 02:54:43,269 --> 02:54:41,600 about intent and just letting them know 4519 02:54:45,190 --> 02:54:43,279 that you're cool and that you that 4520 02:54:47,190 --> 02:54:45,200 you're here to have some fun 4521 02:54:49,670 --> 02:54:47,200 you know and that that's my i totally 4522 02:54:51,269 --> 02:54:49,680 agree i mean uh channel hills is i mean 4523 02:54:53,590 --> 02:54:51,279 you're probably kind of familiar with

02:56:15,520 and we didn't go there tonight and i 4559 02:56:20,550 --> 02:56:17,279 don't know why 4560 02:56:21,750 --> 02:56:20,560 uh we didn't it kept popping in and that 4561 02:56:23,510 --> 02:56:21,760 is 4562 02:56:30,230 --> 02:56:23,520 tron 4563 02:56:31,830 --> 02:56:30,240 and the remake were were pretty cool but 4564 02:56:32,950 --> 02:56:31,840 the original 4565 02:56:36,630 --> 02:56:32,960 tron 4566 02:56:38,950 --> 02:56:36,640 now what a futuristic look that was into 4567 02:56:40,469 --> 02:56:38,960 the simulation hypothesis right think 4568 02:56:43,190 --> 02:56:40,479 about that for a second 4569 02:56:44,870 --> 02:56:43,200 but the movie tron was something else 4570 02:56:47,349 --> 02:56:44,880 like the matrix 4571 02:56:49,429 --> 02:56:47,359 where i watched it over and over again i 4572 02:56:51,910 --> 02:56:49,439 had the videotape for tron 4573 02:56:55,030 --> 02:56:51,920 and i went through 4574 02:56:56,070 --> 02:56:55,040 uh a couple of months where i watched 4575 02:56:58,230 --> 02:56:56,080 that 4576 02:57:01,670 --> 02:56:58,240 nearly every single day 4577 02:57:04,710 --> 02:57:01,680 and this was in the 80s got my first vcr 4578 02:57:06,550 --> 02:57:04,720 got a copy of tron and i watched it over 4579 02:57:08,710 --> 02:57:06,560 and over again 4580 02:57:11,990 --> 02:57:08,720 and i started to ask some of those 4581 02:57:13,910 --> 02:57:12,000 fundamental questions in watching tron 4582 02:57:15,590 --> 02:57:13,920 in that 4583 02:57:17,910 --> 02:57:15,600 would i do it 4584 02:57:20,870 --> 02:57:17,920 i thought it was pretty exciting 4585 02:57:26,070 --> 02:57:20,880 right the the possibility of living like 4586 02:57:28,469 --> 02:57:26,080 that on a motherboard in a chipset 4587 02:57:30,070 --> 02:57:28,479 with other computer programs 4588 02:57:32,630 --> 02:57:30,080 right 4589 02:57:33,910 --> 02:57:32,640 and that was like the precursor for the 4590 02:57:36,070 --> 02:57:33,920 matrix 4591 02:57:37,510 --> 02:57:36,080 and the simulation hypothesis if you 4592 02:57:40,950 --> 02:57:37,520 think about it 4593 02:57:44,230 --> 02:57:40,960 and it started for me uh a path 4594 02:57:46,550 --> 02:57:44,240 uh down uh a road that i'm i'm actually 4595 02:57:48,309 --> 02:57:46,560 very comfortable with it 4596 02:57:49,269 --> 02:57:48,319 would you know the

okay with it what what did it 4604 02:58:09,030 --> 02:58:06,560 change in his life right but it takes 4605 02:58:11,429 --> 02:58:09,040 out the other uh the other questions 4606 02:58:12,790 --> 02:58:11,439 those questions of disease 4607 02:58:14,870 --> 02:58:12,800 right 4608 02:58:16,070 --> 02:58:14,880 you know getting sick 4609 02:58:18,710 --> 02:58:16,080 sleep 4610 02:58:20,070 -->
