Oa, so we we have some data with our own history of cinema. And it some very small % of movies are said in a time before movies were invented. Yes. O, i mean, i guess when we extrapolate to these technotically mature, presumably posthuman civilizations,. Well, first of all, i'm not sure how much we can infer from the kinds of movies we create to what types of simulations they would run. A, i still don't think that would defeat the assimulation argument. E, or indee, even the alternative that we are in assimilation.
Are we in a simulation? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice take a deep dive into simulation theory, consciousness, and free will with Oxford theorist Nick Bostrom. Is this The Matrix?
