Summary
For this month's Lazy Code bonus episode, Dan teams up with Halina Brooke and Leon “Buttons” Kirkbeck to swap eerie doppelganger encounters, and wonder whether look-alike humans are just copy-pasted assets from a lazy cosmic developer. Leon does his best to keep the quantum-adjacent nonsense from imploding into metaphysical spaghetti, while Dan and Helena chase down the big question: are doppelgangers evidence of a glitch in the Matrix…or just proof that humans come in dangerously similar templates?

| 1:13.6 | Helena Brooke and Leon Buttonskirkbeck join me to discuss all of the obvious, obvious ways |

| 1:40.0 | simulation theory, let's give a new listener an idea what that is quickly. Yeah, sure. So |
| 1:45.7 | simulation theory is the idea that instead of reality being what we think it is, we are instead |
| 1:53.3 | coded into a simulation, kind of like a video game, and the theories branch off wildly from there, |
| 2:02.4 | and I'm sure you'll hear some of them today but yeah that's it in a nutshell. |
