Episode 99: Are We Living in a Simulation?

The 1999 movie blockbuster, The Matrix, showed us a world that isn’t really a world at all. SPOILERS ALERT (It’s been over 20 years–  your loss) It turns out, the world we know is a simulation and robots run reality and use us as fodder. It’s great science fiction, but modern thinkers have wondered… are we ourselves living in the true reality, or are we just computer-generated NPCs? Join Matt and Carolanne as they try and figure out if we’re real or living in a video game.
