The Metaverse, Virtual Worlds, and the Problems of Philosophy | David Chalmers

Hidden Forces

CHAPTER

Introduction

hidden forces is a podcast that inspires investors, entrepeners and everyday citizens to challenge consensus narratives. My guest in this week's episode is university professor of philosophy and nural science David chalmers. His central thesis in his new book is that virtual realities, like the so called metaverse, are genuine realities. We spend our time trying to imagine not only what it would be like to live in a simulated world, but whether or not it would be possible to live in such a world without becoming a slave to some one else's reality. For both existing subscribers and anyone new to the podcast, we've moved our premium subscription off of patrion and on to super caste.
