Reality might be rendered, not real. The Simulation Hypothesis&nbsp;author Rizwan Virk explains this wild idea and why even physicists take it seriously.Full show notes and resources can be found here: <a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/1239" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jordanharbinger.com/1239</a>What We Discuss with Rizwan Virk:<ul><li>The simulation hypothesis suggests our physical reality is actually a computer-generated virtual world like The Matrix, but potentially without any "real" versions of ourselves existing elsewhere outside the simulation.</li><li>Some fundamental limits in physics — like the speed of light and quantum indeterminacy — could be computational features rather than bugs, suggesting the universe operates more like a sophisticated program with rendering constraints than pure physics.</li><li>If we can build realistic simulations ourselves, the odds we're already in one increase dramatically to 99% — because any civilization older than ours would likely have already created countless nested simulations.</li><li>We're approximately 70% of the way to building Matrix-level simulations ourselves, with AI advancing faster than expected and brain-computer interfaces developing rapidly — potentially achieving this within 50-100 years rather than millennia.</li><li>Whether or not we're in a simulation, the important question is how we play within it — curiosity, humility, and treating each other well matter regardless of whether reality is "real" or rendered, making the ethical implications more significant than the metaphysical ones.</li><li>And much more...</li></ul><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id1344999619?mt=2&ls=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here</a> — even one sentence helps! <ul><li>Sign up for <a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Six-Minute Networking</a> — our free networking and relationship development mini course — at <a href="https://jordanharbinger.com/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jordanharbinger.com/course</a>!</li><li>Subscribe to our once-a-week <a href="https://www.jordanharbinger.com/news/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wee Bit Wiser</a> newsletter today and start filling your Wednesdays with wisdom!</li><li>Do you even Reddit, bro? <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/JordanHarbinger/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join us at r/JordanHarbinger</a>!</li></ul>This Episode Is Brought To You By <a href="https://www.jordanharbinger.com/deals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Our Fine Sponsors</a>: <ul><li>Quiltmind: <a href="https://www.quiltmind.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Email jordanaudience@quiltmind.com to get started or visit quiltmind.com for more info</a></li><li>Uncommon Goods: <a href="https://uncommongoods.com/jordan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">15% off: uncommongoods.com/jordan</a></li><li>Chilipad: <a href="https://sleep.me/jordan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">20% off: sleep.me/jordan, code JORDAN</a></li><li>Apretude: <a href="https://apretude.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn more: Apretude.com or call 1-888-240-0340</a></li><li>Homes.com: <a href="https://www.homes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Find your home: homes.com</a></li></ul>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
