Exploring the Simulation Hypothesis: Mini Episode 26.1
from Rabbit Hole of Research · host Jotham Austin, II PhD, Nick Elizalde, and Georgia Geis
In this mini-episode of 'Rabbit Hole of Research,' Joe, Georgia, and Nick dive back into the simulation hypothesis (Episode 26). The discussion includes a clarification of a reference to the 'St. Elsewhere' finale, analysis of the 'Lemon Girl' video as potential evidence of a simulation glitch, and reader comments on the complexity of the natural world as an argument against the simulation hypothesis. They also touch on the double-slit experiment, Schrodinger's cat, and the debut of the TGL simulated golf season. Other topics include recommended books and a brief discussion of movies related to simulations.Note: Both Nick and Georgia were recovering from a cold—so their voices are a little scratchy.Mini-Shownotes:Books we are readingNick:The Quiet Room (Rabbits #2) by Terry MilesWe Used to Live Here by Marcus KliewerGeorgia:Here One Moment by Liane MoriartyJoe:The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark MansonThings mentioned in the Episode to check out:Movie: Vivarium (2019)Movie: Transcendence (2014)TV show: St. Elsewhere (1982-1988)YouTube Video:Lemon girl videoTGL golf season—simulated golf leagueDon’t forget to Subscribe, Share with Friends and Rate the show!Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/2nnmKgguFVartwork by Georgia Geis @atomic_number14 Get full access to The Rabbit Hole of Research at jothamaustin.substack.com/subscribe
