🚨ARE WE LIVING IN A SIMULATION? WHY THIS QUESTION IS GETTING HARDER TO IGNORE Dr. Rizwan Virk says if AI can already build entire digital worlds filled with intelligent characters, what if this isn't the base reality? Once technology creates millions or billions of artificial worlds, the odds shift fast. If simulated worlds vastly outnumber the physical one, then statistically, living inside a simulation becomes more likely than not. One scenario? A world filled with background characters who don't know they're inside a simulation. They act real, think they're real, and live entire lives without ever knowing it. At a certain point, this stops being sci-fi. Full conversation with Rizwan Virk below.

🚨 Linda Moulton Howe: "We are living in a Computer Simulated Universe" Physicist Jim Gates found ERROR-CORRECTING CODES in quarks & leptons... exactly like the ones running our computers on Earth! "A 2017 paper [gives] substantial evidence" we're in a HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE. "The projector cannot be in the same room with the holograms. Mathematically, it does not work... It's being projected by something you do not see... Like magic." This is the Simulation Theory clip from their mind-blowing Gaia interview. The great awakening is accelerating in 2026. "The odds are billions to one that we are in what is called a base universe, meaning natural evolution." - Elon Musk What "glitches" have YOU personally experienced in reality? Mandela effects? Déjà vu on steroids? Time slips? Do you buy the holographic projector theory — are we just light projections from another dimension? Is this why UFOs/NHI seem to bend physics?

HUMAN HUNTING PARTIES I'm not sure what movie this is from but we know they have to show us. Reality isn't any different. This is actually very accurate.

RIZWAN VIRK: "WE ARE MOST LIKELY LIVING IN A COMPUTER SIMULATION" "I started to think about how long would it take us to build something like The Matrix, something that's so immersive that you would forget that you were inside a video game. So that led me to this idea of the simulation point, which is a kind of technological singularity. But then I started to research things like quantum physics and some of the mysteries around the observer effect and quantum mechanics. Then I started to look at all the world's religions, and I realized that they're all kind of saying the same thing, which is that there is no physical universe. And so, you know, that led me to the conclusion that we are most likely inside some kind of a computer simulation." Source: Joe Rogan Experience

Rizwan Virk: "All religions were started by someone looking outside the simulation" He says simulation theory and religion might be describing the same thing all along. Many of the world's religious traditions tell us that the world around us is an illusion created for our benefit. He believes most religions started when somebody peeked outside the simulation and saw what was really there. What if this life is like a video game we're all playing? Does rethinking reality this way change how you see your purpose or your beliefs? What's your take?

🚨AI ARMS RACE: WHY NO ONE WANTS TO HIT THE BRAKES Dr. Rizwan Virk says the real danger with AI isn't machines turning evil overnight. It's humans refusing to slow down. No country wants to pause while rivals race ahead. If the U.S. slows down, China gains ground. If China slows down, someone else fills the gap. What worries Rizwan most? Autonomous weapons systems where humans barely stay in control. Once AI starts making targeting decisions, even with a human "in the loop," the choices are already filtered. Speed becomes the advantage. And once that line is crossed, going back is nearly impossible. Full conversation with Rizwan Virk below

CRISPR pioneer George Church says AI is letting us steer evolution, and biology is becoming a kind of computer. “Evolution might incorporate a few base pair changes in a million years. Now we can make billions of changes in an afternoon.” AI designs the possibilities. Biology executes them. No simulation. No approximation. Just real matter evolving on command.

I sat down with NVIDIA Sam Stanwyck (Sam Stanwyck) at ISC to talk about one of the most misunderstood areas in computing: quantum. We discussed why NVIDIA is not building a quantum computer, but instead the infrastructure around it: GPUs, AI, CUDA-Q, quantum simulation, control systems, error correction, and the path toward hybrid CPU/GPU/QPU supercomputing. The key takeaway: Quantum will likely not arrive as a standalone magic machine. It will arrive as part of a much larger accelerated computing stack, combining classical supercomputers, AI, GPUs, and quantum processors to tackle problems in chemistry, materials science, energy, optimization, and fundamental science. Full episode with Sam Stanwyck is now live.

We made the first coin in crypto history that was ACTUALLY made by a quantum computer, a dev didn't decide the name, the ticker, or the logo of this coin - a quantum computer did. (the quantum computer also decided what the mint address is) We used OpenQuantum (Job ID: 96344213-6661-410b-926e-817308be2913) - to allow a quantum computer to launch a coin. Attaching the recording we made during the process on X spaces, which is also recorded. the CA the quantum computer chose: DqY1TBva4NTfWkH1gW7DtTVJwQHwksJfQsBU8dFtV1Xt the name the quantum computer chose is DOCHLY and the ticker is $AWZF attaching the token logo as well

Joe Rogan says he is now convinced that our reality is a simulation "This world seems more and more like it's not real... like it's a simulation." "The ultimate progression of technology is to transcend reality and become physical life" "There's something more to reality than what meets the eye... made out of bizarre energy attached to consciousness." "How do we know if it hasn't already happened?" Watch Andrew Schulz's epic reaction in this clip!

Are We In a Simulation? Well, it does work as if we are. So for all intents and purposes you should adopt this mentality! Life responds to you, primarily your thoughts, beliefs, energy and actions. Whether or not there's a giant computer doesn't matter; simulation can simply be an allegory for how this reality operates. As such, we can work with this simulation to create the reality that we desire, and improve our lives. Becoming conscious is the goal. Then, work to understand WHY we are in this "simulation", and what our aims should be...
