Simulation? Peter meets Trump (Family Guy)

Maya and the Simulation Theory

(OntologicalOdyssey) [This whole video, from the script to the voice, seems like AI, and one can only hope there is a human creator behind it.] Explore the intriguing parallels between Simulation Theory and the ancient Hindu concept of Maya ("Illusion"). Discover how both philosophies challenge our understanding of reality, suggesting that what we perceive may be a deceptive illusion or a constructed facade. Delve into the profound implications for consciousness, existence, and the search for ultimate truth in this thought-provoking exploration.

The Simulation Hypothesis is pseudoscience

(Sabine Hossenfelder) Is it possible that you, I, and everything we experience is a computer simulation? Why do people like Elon Musk and Neil DeGrasse Tyson think this is possible? In this video Lady Einstein (Sabine) explains how Nick Bostrom's argument for the simulation hypothesis goes and what the problems with it are. The reference she mentions at around 6:00 minutes is "Constraints on the Universe as a Numerical Simulation" (Silas R. Beane, Zohreh Davoudi, Martin J. Savage EPJ A, 50, 148, 2014, link.springer.com/article/10....). #science #physics #philosophy
