Do we live in a simulation?

Today's guest claims there's powerful evidence that we live in a simulation, but why?

I became intrigued by this idea that there was a whole world inside the computer.

And originally, you know, with the text adventures, we were visualizing it in our heads,

but then with graphic adventures, we were suddenly able to see this world,

but I always wondered what was beyond the boundaries and what could be seen.

But is there really evidence that we live in a simulation?

Our reality is not actually physical like this table. It's actually a virtual reality.

Today's guest, Dr. Rizwang Verk, explains exactly why he thinks it's more likely than not

that our whole existence is a mere manifestation of a master simulation taking place in the universe. Let's go. Thank you so much for coming on. Absolutely. Great to be here. We'll go through the book and take everybody on a journey. First of all, I want to present you with the Keating Medal for Impossible Imagination. There it goes with a picture of Arthur C. Clark Clark, and he plays a role in this book. Mine a role, but a role nonetheless. And, of course, you've been to his house, unlike me. What was that experience like when you went there? Were there monoliths like this little beauty over there?

Clark with, you know, the moon landing astronauts.

It was really interesting because they preserved his office.

And generally speaking, it's not supposed to be open to the public,

but any foreigner who goes there and slips a few rupees to the security guard will take you up.

And, you know, he's got all of his books there and, you know rupees to the security guard will take you up and you know he's got all of

his books there and you know plays a plays a minor role in my book because it was during that visit

when I was looking at behind his desk I saw many of my favorite books from when I was growing up

like 2001 a space odyssey 2010 Odyssey 2 and I saw all these different translations and I had one of those

moments that we sometimes have when we get inspired and I had wanted to be a writer for a while

and I just had this intuition that it was time for me to get busy on the writing side because I had been

spending all my time in Silicon Valley first as an

entrepreneur, then later as an investor. And it was during that time that I wrote the article

about why I think we'd live inside a video game that led to this book eventually. I noticed in this
