The simulation hypothesis is the idea that we're actually living in a computer simulation. I don't know that it's true, but i do think it's something that we can't rule out for sure. The guy who invented pay pow said he believes it. So what if it's true? That's always been my question, about this question, because it pops up again and again.
We spend more time in digital, virtual spaces than ever. But are those places really real? If they are, does that mean we could be living in virtual reality right now? Or does it even make sense to ask such a question? Philosopher David Chalmers joins Adam to talk about consciousness, the nature of reality, and the limits of digital technology.
