Summary

What is reality? Are we in a simulation? Quantum Gravity Research Founder Klee Irwin joins the Know Thyself podcast today to explore these fundamental questions of existence. He dives deep into The Self-Simulation Hypothesis & Emergence Theory - which he has been studying extensively to solve these very questions. Klee provides insights into the fundamentals of these theories, posing the question of if this IS a simulation, is it: a simulation controlled by a being in another galaxy OR a projection from our future selves. Begging the question of who our future descendants are, if they are still human, and can we communicate with them. This is a fascinating episode to open your mind to possible answers to perplexing questions of reality, and understand the extensive research Klee & his team are doing to bring these topics into mainstream scientific discussion.

0:00.0	Reality is not what you have been told it was. Your beliefs, scientific ideas, all of it is
0:07.4	crumbling under the load of change. Something's got to give. What is reality? Is it a simulation?
0:16.0	And if it is a simulation, is it a self-simulation or a world that lives in a computer in another
0:23.2	universe?
0:24.3	We've looked at trillions of locations in time and space.
0:28.2	And it is so quiet out there that you can hear a pin drop.
0:32.5	It is as though we are the first ultra-high consciousness life capable of manipulating the electromagnetic spectrum.
0:39.3	And let's be clear, our descendants are not human.
0:42.3	There's no reason we should presume that in deep time that most of our descendants are born on Earth.
0:48.3	The self-simulation hypothesis, it's about the unification of spirit and matter and getting back to balance.
0:55.0	And I think that unification of those two is the only thing that can really save us from insanity and self-destruction.
1:08.0	Hello, beautiful beings. Welcome back to the Know Thyself podcast for every single week. We get the honor and privilege to sit down with a brilliant mind and open heart to learn more about the true nature of self and the world around us at deeper and deeper levels. My guest today is an incredible human being. And I'm so looking forward to diving into this conversation today.
1:28.6	Some may know him as an individual who co-founded early on with Singularity University.
1:34.6	Some may know him as a philanthropist and entrepreneur with his business, Irwin Naturals,
1:38.8	which is an award-winning global natural supplement company.
1:43.1	And how he spends most of his days today and this time is a
1:48.6	researcher and director at quantum gravity research and it is a non-profit Los Angeles space
1:55.1	organization working on discovering and sharing a first principles quantum gravity unification theory.
2:03.2	I memorized that.
2:05.3	And he's also dedicated and devoted to supporting the global physics community at large through collaborative efforts.
2:13.4	He is an individual that I met just a couple of weeks ago.
2:16.6	And I'm so honored to help steward this conversation today as it's his first podcast appearance in this format in this way, which I feel so privileged to be able to sit down with.
