The Logic That Proves You're in a Simulation | Cosmic Code Ep. 5

He argues that one of these three statements MUST be true: 1) Advanced civilizations always go extinct. 2) They lose all interest in creating simulations. 3) We are almost certainly already living in one. We break down this powerful argument step-by-step and analyze why, statistically, the third option is the most unsettling and probable. • References & Sources: o Bostrom's Trilemma (Future of Humanity Institute, Oxford): A direct resource from Bostrom's own institution, clarifying the points of the trilemma. https://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk/ o "The Great Filter" and the Fermi Paradox: Context for the trilemma's first proposition, exploring why we haven't found intelligent life.
