The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Yeah, they actually make it worse.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

in order to have suffering or that you want to simulate what's going to happen in a nuclear blast if there's a World War III.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Like you would literally make the people suffer in order to see what would happen.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

So that's at a civilizational level because people always say to me, well, what's the purpose of the game?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

And I say, well, let me ask you two questions.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Why do we play video games?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

And then why do we run simulations?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Now, the second question is kind of that nuclear war scenario.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

We run simulations to see what would happen.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

What's the most likely outcome?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

What's the worst outcome?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

What's the most favorable outcome?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

And then you tweak the variables and you run them again and again.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

The reason we play video games is maybe to have experiences that we can't have outside of the physical world.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

And so it's very possible that we are choosing to be in a video game with a character.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Like when do actors win Oscars?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

It's when they play roles that are like extremely difficult.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Right.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Yeah.
