- Futurist and video game industry pioneer Rizwan Virk discusses his new book "The Simulated Multiverse: An MIT Computer Scientist Explores Parallel Universes, The Simulation Hypothesis, Quantum Computing and the Mandela Effect."
In his previous book, "The Simulation Hypothesis", Virk explored the idea that we live inside a computer simulation, a hyper-realistic massively multiplayer video game not unlike that seen in The Matrix. He examined the idea from scientific, philosophical, technological and theological perspectives to show how the model of a simulated world could bridge the gap between these very divergent worldviews. In this new book, Virk explores the idea of multiple timelines in both science fiction and science, using the construction of video games to consider the possibility of a multiverse, not unlike those depicted in recent TV shows like the Arrowverse and Loki, and to wonder what happens to those other timelines. In the process, Virk delves into the strange findings of quantum mechanics, which tell us not only that there are multiple futures, but there might also be multiple presents, and perhaps even more confusingly, multiple pasts. Could this be an explanation for the seemingly nonsensical viral idea of the Mandela Effect? In The Simulated Multiverse, Virk brings each of these threads together using the concept of self play and training of AI and RPG video games to give us a new perspective on how the universe might really be working.
A graduate of MIT and Stanford, Rizwan Virk was the founder of Play Labs @ MIT, a prolific creator of video games and investor in metaverse startups. He is a venture partner at Griffin Gaming Partners and currently at the School for the Future of Innovation in Society (SFIS) at Arizona State University's College of Global Futures.

The thirteenth floor movie will be a good example for what he is saying.
Nobody is "misremembering". Why are you people so in love with that term?
These memories are REAL. Don't insult people's intelligence.
This guy is such a fan
I clicked so fast... I expected something completely different 🤣
This seems like a theory that would be more at home as the foundation for an episode of The Flash rather than a set of good metaphysical inferences based on the empirical evidence.
Then you throw the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter into the mix, and it gets even weirder...
Since these are forces we can't explain or observe, there must be energy from the real world.
Reality is a feedback loop
Working for Google is not something to be proud of ... even in a simulation !
This is just representational thinking on the part of an analytic tradition of philosophy, thought should have moved beyond dogmatic metaphysics by now. "Continental" and "Analytic" look as though they are at least moving towards bridging the rift in contemporary times however.
不想肚子餓～
Hey, don't give in to fear like i did. These people may sound convincing and right but it is really because of fear that you are listening to all this nonsense. Stop right now, stop doing anything that is related to what makes you scared. I want you to resist looking at these creepy stuff for at least 23 days to a month. If you resist that long you should be a lot better. If you last like a week, thats ok try again. If your not even able to last a day that shows how bad your condition is. I used to be that bad by looking at all this nonsense.
Just don't give in to these weirdos, no matter how smart they may sound or how much scientific jargon they say you're only believing them from your fear. Control it. Do the 1 month ressist and focus on only good things and talking with people. Do it and never come back to this dark corner of the internet again. Wishing you good luck and blessings.
