| 0:00.0 | well good evening good morning and good afternoon |
| 0:09.0 | Darren went to take a swig of her Celsius and stopped mid very dramatic by the way |
| 0:15.7 | very broad way of her mid you know you know me a theater a see, if you will. Well, that's one way to put it. |
| 0:24.6 | That's one way, TH at the beginning. Um, hi everyone. It's me, John Thrasher with your dad or your mom. Wait, yeah, your dad. It's me, a Mario. |
| 0:35.2 | Um, welcome to the show. By the way, you know it's, you know it's Sumi, Mario, right? I just learned this recently on TikTok. I didn't know that. It's Somi, which means what? Hello, I'm Mario or something? Or like, super. Oh, that's right. That is what that is. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, it's It's so me Mario is actually Super Mario. Good, good. Look at Darren. You're a little gamer over here. I love it. You know, look at you. Can I say? Speaking of gaming, let's get right into it. We have a couple things. We're going to have a little bit of a quicker NMR this week. But I mentioned something on last week's, I think, Patreon NMR exclusive episode, which, |
| 1:13.7 | by the way, if you didn't know, we're releasing exclusive episodes over there on Patreon, |
| 1:18.5 | you guys. So please do support us there if you can for a little bit, $5 a month and $3 or something |
| 1:23.6 | like that if you subscribe for the whole year. But I had mentioned I was going to talk about something this week. |
| 1:29.6 | And it is that I am convinced that we are in a simulation. |
| 1:35.4 | I know that freaks you out. |
| 1:36.7 | This is the Neil deGrasse Tyson thing. |
| 1:38.9 | That's right. |
| 1:39.3 | We mentioned Neil deGrasse Tyson. |
| 1:41.5 | He thinks that as well. |
| 1:43.2 | I'm going to ask chat GPT. Are we in a simulation? |
| 1:45.9 | Yeah, see what chat GPT has to say. And then I want to tell you why I think that we are, because |
| 1:51.7 | something has happened to me multiple times, and I feel like I want to mention it here. But what does |
| 1:58.1 | the chat, what does the AI say? That's a classical, philosophical, and scientific question. |
| 2:03.6 | The simulation hypothesis, popularized by Nick Bostrom, suggests that if advanced civilizations |
| 2:09.7 | develop powerful enough computers, they might run simulations of their ancestors, and we |
| 2:16.1 | could be in one of those simulations. Now, some arguments |
| 2:18.9 | in favor of this. Computational power. If technology continues advancing, future simulations |
