It's what the Hindus call the Atman or what we would call in the West,

the soul or what I would call the player.

And the player could be one-to-one matching or it could be somebody who's running the simulation.

But that's another type of glitch if we think of the world as a type of dream.

Another is synchronicity.

I'm sure if you've heard the term, some people are skeptical about it.

Jung coined the term synchronicity.

And he said it's basically when an inner thought and some outer event coincide.

So in a sense, the dream that I talked about was kind of a synchronicity.

But there's also a new

way of thinking about synchronicity.

So what happens is when that happens, you think of someone, somebody calls you the more scientifically minded of us say, well, that's just coincidence.

No big deal.

Right.

It happens often enough.

I was in the UK in Cambridge last year doing some research on AI at their AI center and I was meeting a friend and I was telling her, oh, you know, there's this guy who's got this, he's talking about religion and AI and his name is this and I've never met him.

And she goes, wait a minute.

And she wasn't from the University of Cambridge.

She just happened to be in London and visited so we could have coffee.

And she goes, wait a minute, his sister was my best friend.
