you know what's a wave and what's a particle? How did we think that?

Well I think that we are inevitably and probably the easiest, I think this is the easiest prediction I'll ever make, it will become a much bigger thing that we might be a simulation. And the reason is we're going to build a simulation and there's no way to stop it. We have AI. We know how to build software environments. I would be surprised if it doesn't already exist. You don't think that somewhere there's an AI avatar in the game that is already living his life and is programmed not to know it's an avatar? Of course somewhere. Because AI can do that for you. You just have the AI being the brains of the NPCs in the games and you tell them, you program them, you believe you're real, you are base reality. If anybody questions you, nope, make sure you argue you are base reality. And it would look exactly like us. We wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Now you're going to say but Scott, you know he could just look around his fake world and he could see the pixels. Can you see your pixels? No. All you have to do is put one line of code in there that says you will see everything clearly even if it's not clear. Your brain will just interpret everything as a clear picture. That's all you need. And it will just tell you what not to think and not to look at so that you don't accidentally discover that you're not real. Easy peasy.

So once we build our own simulations and people are convinced, holy hell I'm watching this little character like I'm God you know because he doesn't know he's being watched. But you're watching the 3D version of somebody living their life and you will observe that they act and talk like regular people in the real world. And if you quiz them they'd say no no no I think I was put here by
