Description

Watch the Riz Virkvpodcast NOW by joining The Why Files Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles Rizwan Virk built games downloaded millions of times, invested early in Discord, and taught at MIT. Then he put on a VR headset in Sausalito and nearly fell over reaching for a table that didn't exist. That five-second moment sent him down a rabbit hole connecting quantum physics, Eastern mysticism, and video game design — and he's not sure he's found the bottom yet.

AJ, you’re losing your grip on reality. You could use a truth reboot.

Whenever people talk about this idea of reality being a "simulation," no one ever asks the question of who created the "simulation."
