Riz Virk, an MIT and Stanford-educated computer scientist and author, dives into the mind-bending concept that we might live in a simulation. He discusses fascinating ideas like the Simulation Hypothesis, the Mandela Effect, and the mathematical patterns in reality, such as the Fibonacci sequence. The conversation melds quantum mechanics with consciousness, exploring how intention shapes our perceptions. Riz also touches on mystical connections between Kabbalah and Buddhism, suggesting our reality could be an elaborate illusion shaped by collective experience.

INSIGHT

Mandela Effect and Timelines

  • The Mandela Effect, where many remember events differently from reality, suggests potential timeline shifts.
  • This could be evidence of simulation variables being altered and timelines rerunning.
INSIGHT

Simulated Multiverse

  • The Simulated Multiverse theory suggests that our universe is a simulation among many.
  • These simulations explore different physical constants and timelines, with ours being fine-tuned for life.
INSIGHT

Free Will and Computation

  • Reality might be computational, but free will drives the computation, making it irreducible.
  • This challenges the view of free will as mere quantum randomness.
