Episode Synopsis

Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen addresses those pressing issues that are keeping you awake at night, including: —The logical probability that we are living in a Matrix-like simulation… —Why, if we were living inside a simulation, we would remain blissfully unaware of this fact… —Whether the simulation would be an "ancestor simulation" being run by future human civilizations or a simulation being run by alien life forms from the other side of the universe… —Why it would be far easier to prove that we ARE living inside a simulation than that we are NOT living inside one, and finally… —How we should live our lives if we are, in fact, living in a simulation.   Where To Go To Get More Information: 1.
