Are We Living in a Simulation? – 8-Bit Philosophy

The video explores the simulation theory, popularized by Elon Musk and originally proposed by Nick Bostrom. It discusses the possibility that humans might be living in a computer simulation, presenting Bostrom's three scenarios: human extinction before creating indistinguishable simulations, future humans choosing not to create them, or that we are already in a simulation. The concept of ancestor simulations is introduced, where future humans could recreate historical events in detail. The video examines the probability of living in a simulation and concludes with philosophical questions about the meaning of life if it is simulated.
