Summary
With guest Max Selim, we discuss the merits of whether we’re living a lie - a.k.a. - simulation theory. Is all this just zeroes and ones? Is everything we see simulated by a computer? And if so, how many billions of these are there? Which one are we in? IS THIS REAL LIFE? Ryan is afraid and confused, Spencer is pumped, and Max steers the simulation theory ship.
Hot Topics: Blade Runner, Philip K. Dick Is Terrifying, We’re All Gonna Die, Flavor Tripping, “Don’t Put This On The Podcast,” Total Recall, If None Of This Is Real, and much more.

| 0:00.0 | I know of no one who has ever made this claim before, but I rather suspect that my experience is not unique. |
| 0:07.0 | What perhaps is unique is the fact that I am willing to talk about it. |
| 0:11.0 | We are living in a computer programmed reality, and the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed and some alteration in our reality occurs. |
| 0:24.6 | We would have the overwhelming impression that we were reliving the present, deja vu. |
| 0:32.6 | Perhaps in precisely the same way, hearing the same words, saying the same words, I submit that these |
| 0:40.1 | impressions are valid and significant. And I will even say this, such an impression is a clue |
| 0:46.5 | that in some past time point, a variable was changed, reprogrammed as it were, and that because of this, an alternative world branched off. |

| 0:59.8 | Greetings and welcome to the What If Podcast. |
| 1:02.3 | So, Spencer. |
| 1:03.3 | Hey doing, man. |
| 1:03.8 | I'm great, bro. I'm better and slightly more creeped out now that listen to Philip K. Dick explain his belief of what the hell's going on. |
| 1:11.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:12.6 | Before we get started, we have a guest with us this evening. |
| 1:15.0 | Shaclack, the homies in the building. |
| 1:17.0 | What's up, Max? |
| 1:17.9 | What's up, guy? |
| 1:18.8 | How are you? |
| 1:19.9 | A little creeped out after hearing that Philip K. Dick thing. |
| 1:22.7 | Besides that, I'm pretty good. |
| 1:24.1 | That was from 1977. Hmm. So the Matrix definitely pulled the deja vu thing, like directly out of that, right? |
| 1:31.8 | Or close. |
