Swedish philosopher Niklas Bostrom’s Simulation Hypothesis puts a new spin on the classic theory about a fake reality. Bostrom’s hypothesis presents three different proposals: 1) humanity dies out before reaching technological maturity, 2) humanity reaches technological maturity, but chooses not to create a simulation and 3) we are likely in a simulation right now. Vanessa Ng describes the basics of Bostrom’s idea and relates its logistics to current technological advancements. Stock footage credits to artlist.io
