Scroll-by TROLLING with Bob MURPHY. The Conflict Between EVOLUTION & THE MATRIX | Hn 125

Economist Bob Murphy is back and he and Adam are going to answer the question that's been on everyone's mind! Can/should one consider evolution a "fact" if they also believe it's possible we are living in a simulation? The answer goes much deeper than you'd think! Enjoy! 00:00 — Intro. Would it suck to be an NPC? 01:23 — A Carl Sagan quote kicks off the conversation. Then Bob admits he did a drive-by. 04:38 — Adam and Bob expound on simulation theory and the weird way that people think about it. 17:47 — Let's introduce evolution into the conversation about simulation theory. Does it fit? 29:18 — Moving out of sim theory, how should we think about the theory of evolution? What is most likely to be true as far as we know? Does the Intelligent Design movement have anything to say here? 43:13 — What's the difference between a fact and a theory? How can we act in an arena of uncertainty? 54:29 — Outro.
