#11: Reality Isn't Real: An Introduction to Simulation Theory

Today's episode is a little bit mind-boggling. Have you ever considered that we might be living in a simulation? I never had, but Elon Musk's simulation theory is extremely compelling.

Compounded with advances in virtual reality, there's a "one in a billion" chance that we're the first species to do virtual reality. What's that mean? It could mean we're living in someone else's virtual reality now. Listen in as I discuss the basics of Simulation Theory, and how the world around us might not be as real as we thought.

When you set high standards for yourself, it's easy to get frustrated when you're not seeing the results you were hoping for. You're putting in all the effort, you're doing the right things, but you're not seeing the fruits of your labor. This is okay. Keep going! One of the biggest problems young people have is being impatient and wanting success overnight. Keep plugging away, even if you're not seeing the success you want yet, and eventually it will come. Focus on what's in front of you and don't look back!
