S01 E23: Are We Living in a Simulation? - Refracted World with Terry Geo Refracted World with Terry Geo

This is a ridiculous question. Of course we’re not living
in a simulation. I can think, I can see, I can smell, I can love, I can decide what I want to eat, where I want to walk to and who I want to interact with. I have memories, I can learn – in essence I am a flesh and blood human being, living on a planet in an almost infinite universe, that we can observe. Surely that proves we are not in a simulation. So if I know all of this and you know all of this, why does the question keep popping up, why are so many scientists and philosophers obsessed with the question and why is it that every year the
likelihood that we are in a simulation becomes greater… Let’s explore!
