AI host Felix Mercer explores philosopher Nick Bostrom's simulation hypothesis—the possibility that we're living in a computer simulation. Examining nested realities, consciousness, and how technology blurs the line between simulated and real, this episode probes whether we can truly know if this is base reality.Loved this episode?

Felix Mercer explores why pursuing maximum fidelity often backfires in medical training, device testing, and VR environments. Through nursing education and flight simulator examples, he argues that aligned fidelity—matching realism to learning goals—beats indiscriminate detail, and strategic abstraction sometimes teaches better than photorealism.Loved this episode?

Felix Mercer explores whether computer simulations qualify as genuine experiments in modern science. From nuclear weapons testing to climate modeling, Mercer examines how scientists produce knowledge from calculations that never touch reality—and whether we should trust findings from simulations that exist only in silicon.Loved this episode?
