Moving beyond the fact that we are in a simulation, in this episode I attempt to ponder what it means if we are in a simulated universe. What are the ethics and implications of being in a simulation. Here I discuss all the big questions related to this subject.
Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi was one of the most impactful spiritual books of the 20th century and has travelled around the world, inspiring millions to walk the spiritual path. But what are 21st-century spiritual aspirants, steeped in technology and science, to think of these classic tales of gurus, swamis, and miracles in the […]
We are becoming more aware every day that we are in a simulation. The simulation works with specific laws and principles. The mind is working with programs. We are unconscious robots and we are controlled by its programs. How can we break out of the programs that control our throughts in behavior in this simulation? […]
The fundamental question raised by the simulation hypothesis is this: Are we all actually characters living inside some kind of giant, massively multiplayer online video game, a simulated reality that is so well rendered that we cannot distinguish it from “physical reality”? Although Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom coined the term the Simulation Argument in a […]
I really really really enjoyed speaking with Rizwan Virk the amazing writer of The Simulation Hypothesis and The Simulated Multiverse Do multiple versions of ourselves exist in parallel universes living out their lives in different timelines?In this follow up to his bestseller, The Simulation Hypothesis, MIT Computer Scientist and Silicon Valley Game Pioneer Rizwan Virk […]
If you are like me and you are deeply fascinated by parallel realities and the multiverse, this may be one of the most important works you will encounter. In 1977, cult writer Philip K. Dick arrived at a science fiction convention in Metz, France to deliver a speech called, “If You Find this World Bad, […]

The holographic principle is a tenet of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary to the region—such as a light-like boundary like a gravitational horizon. The idea isn’t that the universe is some […]
Meditation starts at 6:36 In 2003, Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed we may be existing in a virtual reality orchestrated by our descendants who wanted to recreate their ancestors. He suggested that if technology advanced to the point where we could create such a virtual world, we would likely create multiple copies. If our descendants […]
