Episode notes

i was surprised at how seriously chalmers takes the idea that we are living in a simulation. To me, this idea seems to recreate theism from a technological standpoint. Do you see it this way as well? And to someone who has stood against theism, does the growing acceptance of the simulation idea in philosophy circles bother you?

Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
