BFRH 2020 04 24: Dr. Robert E. Furey on Whether We are Actually Simulations; and David Weber's Uncompromising Honor, Part 10.

The Baen Free Radio Hour

Dr. Robert E. Furey discusses his Baen.com web site article "The Bridge of Sighs: Are We What Might Have Been?" which asks the question of whether we are living in a simulation created by our descendants. It seemed like a trivial idea to Furey at first, but upon consideration, he became convinced the possibility that we are part of a nested simulation might very well approach 100 percent. Rob Furey is a biologist specializing in social spiders, and Professor of Integrative Sciences at Harrisburg University, and serves as assistant provost there; and David Weber's Uncompromising Honor, Part 10.
