What is REAL?

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the fascinating concept of living in a simulation.

We explore the book Simulacron 3, written by Daniel F. Galouye in 1964, which explores the intriguing idea of a hyper-realistic virtual city where inhabitants are unaware of their simulated existence.

We discuss the relevance of the book in today's world, with the growing advancements in AI and the ethical concerns surrounding ever better sounding AI models that simulate reality.

We explore the protagonist's journey as he uncovers the glitches and inconsistencies in the simulated world and grapples with questions of consciousness, free will, and the nature of reality.

The episode challenges listeners to question their own realities, urges them to engage with sci-fi literature to expand their imagination, and demonstrates the importance of staying aware and in control in an increasingly simulated world.

This book, that Dr. Christine Sauer read as a teenager, inspired the AI Universe for Wellness and Business, where AI is used to benefit humans and simulate helpful coaches and other wellness services to augment reality. In Simulacron 3 people are unaware of what is true reality. How are we feeling about it when we explore this thought?

Join us as we navigate the layers of reality and explore the profound philosophical themes presented in Simulacron 3.
