Show Notes

Here’s another throwback Bunker Gold to tide you over to next year… How do you know the world is real? How do I know I’m real? As virtual worlds expand, our concepts of reality warp. NYU philosopher David Chalmers – author of Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy – talks to Ros Taylor about the etiquette of virtual living, why video game characters deserve moral rights, and how we can know what we think we know.

  • “Simulated beings could end up outnumbering non-simulated beings. So the odds that YOU are simulated could be high…”
  • “If we’re living in a simulation, all this is still real – and our lives are still full of meaning.”
