00:00Sometimes I feel like I'm an anomaly in the matrix. There's some
00:04probability that we're in a simulation. What percentage would you attribute to that?
00:07Probably pretty high. I would say it's pretty high. 3,000 years ago the Rishis
00:11of India, those ancient sages looked at the world and said this whole thing is
00:15Maya, a perfect divine illusion. Reality is actually one infinite
00:21consciousness dreaming itself into billions of separate lives and the
00:26dream feels completely real until you wake up.
00:34Elon Musk sat down with Nikhil Kamath and seemed to basically say the exact same
00:38thing, just with computers instead of God. If you look at the advancement of video
00:43games, in our lifetime or at least in my lifetime it's gone from very simple
00:48video games to photorealistic real-time games with millions of people playing
00:55simultaneously. So if that trend continues, video games will be
00:59indistinguishable from reality. An advanced civilization could run billions of
01:04those perfect simulations. So the odds that we're in the original reality? In this
01:08in this level of the simulation if you could call it. So then then what are the
01:13odds that we are in base reality and that and that this has not happened before?
01:18Then he added something chilling. The simulations most likely to survive are
01:22going to be the ones that are the most interesting simulations which therefore
01:27means that the most interesting outcome is the most likely.
01:30And now guess what the ancient texts say.
01:33Vedanta says the moment you say something is an object to the senses then it's an object to
01:39consciousness and in that sense not as real as consciousness itself.
01:43So whether you call it Maya or assimilation, the message from both the Rishis and Elon seems to be identical.
01:49This world is unbelievably convincing but it's not the final layer. Wake up gently, play your character beautifully,
01:57be kind to everyone. They're all the same consciousness playing dress up and every once in a while just laugh at how insanely good the graphics are.
02:05Mind blown in Sanskrit and Silicon Valley. See you on the next level. I'm Anisha Dikari. Thank you for watching the culture project on more.
