He pictured a cave with prisoners chained to the wall and all they ever saw were the shadows of others passing in front of a fire, projected up onto the wall in front of them.
The Greek philosopher Plato, who lived around 2500 years ago, wrote about the concept in his work the Republic. It might seem obvious to us that they are completely virtual but who’s to say that we aren’t part of a giant simulation? Maybe we’re all NPCs in a computer game So, let’s take the red pill and the blue pill at the same time, because screw you Morpheus, as we ask ourselves is anything real? Thanks to science fiction, we often associate simulated realities with computers, but doubting reality is far from a new thing. As a kid, he added, he worried that authority figures might notice his "strangeness" and put him away somewhere.If you’ve just watched The Matrix or you’re a Californian who has gone a little overboard on the weed legalization celebrations, you might be wondering how do I know that I’m not just part of a computer simulation? Does Super Mario think it’s pretty standard to be attacked by suicidal turtles all day? Maybe Kimmy from Candy Crush, never wonders why she isn’t riddled with diabetes.
He told Rogan that ideas are bouncing around inside his head all the time - "it's like a never-ending explosion" - and that he realized he was different from other people when he was just 5 or 6 years old. "It's like a cup of coffee in reverse," Musk said. This was apparently a rare event the SpaceX CEO said he almost never smokes marijuana (which is legal in California, where The Joe Rogan Experience is taped) and doesn't enjoy it, because it saps his famous productivity. And at one point, the comedian lit up a joint, and Musk took a puff. Musk and Rogan sipped whiskey throughout their conversation. But he said he doesn't view the development of this concept as a priority at the moment, given the other pressing problems humanity needs to solve. Musk also casually mentioned that he has an idea for an electric supersonic plane that takes off and lands vertically. It's the dumbest experiment in human history." So why are we doing this experiment? It's an insane experiment. "We know that sustainable energy is the end point. Musk described humanity's mass displacement of carbon from the ground to the atmosphere (and from there into the oceans) as an incredibly dangerous experiment whose ultimate outcome is unknown. Musk also talked at length about Tesla, the electric-car company he runs, and the need for our species to wean itself off fossil fuels. For example, Musk reiterated his concerns about unregulated and uncontrolled artificial intelligence stressed that a bright and appealing future for humanity involves exploring and settling other worlds, both in our solar system and beyond and discussed the traffic-reducing potential of extensive tunnel systems, which his Boring Company aims to build in big cities around the world. This was far from the only ground that Musk and Rogan covered during their 2.5-hour conversation. Indeed, the simulation idea is one of many possible explanations for the famous Fermi paradox, which basically asks, "Where is everybody?" ("Everybody" being aliens, of course.) And it would be hard for the inhabitants of these digital realms to figure out the truth, because all the evidence they could gather would likely be planted by the creators. If even one advanced alien civilization with a predilection for creating simulations has ever arisen out there, the reasoning goes, then it could theoretically pop off thousands - or perhaps even millions or billions - of "fake" universes. The billionaire entrepreneur is far from alone in this interpretation a number of physicists, cosmologists and philosophers find the simulation hypothesis compelling. "Why would you make a simulation that's boring? You'd make a simulation that's way more interesting than base reality," Musk said, citing the video games and movies that humanity makes, which are "distillation of what's interesting about life."
