This is Rizwan Virk.

He's a video game pioneer who was recently featured on Joe Rogan.

He wrote the Amazon Best Seller: The Simulation Hypothesis.

His insane theory is that we are living in the Matrix.

Here’s the theory:

"We are most likely inside some kind of a computer simulation."

Rizwan says that:

• Advancements in AI, VR, and quantum mechanics
• Nearing fully immersive simulations
• Our ability to already create simulated worlds

Prove that a simulation reality is possible.

Rizwan is a genius.

He spent decades:

• Developing video games
• Studying Computer Science at MIT
• Running game labs as an entrepreneur

He made millions during this time.

When Riz talks, everyone smart listens.

From Rizwan's book:

The Simulation Hypothesis.

Chapter 1. starts with a quote from Elon Musk.

"Forty years ago, we had Pong...40 years later, we have photorealistic, 3D simulations."

"The odds that we are in base reality is one in billions."

"The Great Simulation is a hyper-realistic simulation or video game that we are in—essentially it is our version of the Matrix." -Rizwan

• Simulated reality is a creation
• Ancient masters called it an illusion
• It can be affected by free will

Hyperreal is already here?

"I think there's a 70% chance we're living inside a simulation."

Reasons:

-Tech progress
-Quantum weirdness, particle-wave duality
-Math structures, principles, Fibonacci

-Glitches, déjà vu, mandela effects
-Culture, Gods, powerful beings
-Consciousness, subjective reality

"The simulation hypothesis gives you a way to look at both of these (Copenhagen interpretation & Multiverse Theory), a framework that makes it make sense."

Observer reality (Copenhagen)

V

Branching possibilities (Multiverse)

A simulation merges and unifies these two!

"When you think of information, and you think of the simulation idea. The core of it is that the world is not physical."

• Digital reality is composed of information

• Reality "renders" based on observation

• The universe operates within finite limits, like a program

"I think we can view the world as a series of quests and challenges."

• Near-death experiences and the life review
• Happens to 20% of people
• It's a holographic experience

"Well, how does that work? ...Somebody has to record all that stuff."

"They memorize the Quran word for word... why do you need to memorize it?"

"There are these beings (Jin) that are allowed to go back in time and change things, physical things."

- Mandela effects point to changes in reality
- The Thinker
- Luke v No, I am your father

"Reality may be more permeable than we think and that's where (there is an) intersection between the UAP phenomena and the simulation theory."

• UFO/UAP make perfect sense in a simulated world
• They render in and out of reality
• Maybe they are the creators of it?

"The simulation hypothesis is one of those new and interesting developments."

"It may just be the answer that provides a single framework, a coherent model that brings together science and religion."

Is Rizwan right or wrong?

Do we really live in the Matrix?

That's it!
