Are we living in a simulated universe
and
what happens
when we die?
I'm actually going to tackle both of these
questions today when Micro dose you, I've been
looking into some of this stuff, and I
think I might have some answers for you.
So stand by. I'm doctor Dave and welcome.
Mushrooms
Hey. Thanks so much for being back with
me on Micro. You're gonna take a little
bit of a 90 degree return today and
talk about some
philosophical things
that I think
micro
are probably more prone to
think about
these things. Like, you know, the... I think
the average person walking around,
going about their lives going to work, eating,
drinking, going to sleep doesn't really think deeply
about, like, what is... What is actually going
on here? What what are we involved with?
But I'll tell you,
since I started micro dosing,
I've been
contemplating a lot of these
bigger questions.
Bigger questions. Like, when you get past the,
you know, the anxiety and the depression and
all the stuff that the micro dosing
takes care of.
You start to get a little bit deeper.
And I think that's that's where I am
right now. And I will tell you. I'm
I'm not a philosopher, and I don't really
understand quantum physics at all.
I'm gonna be speaking on very, very simple
level. But I think that's actually good because,
you know, a lot of these people that
talk about this really complex
philosophical and quantum physics stuff.
They speak in terms that are very difficult
for regular people that you and me to
to understand. So I'm gonna try to break
it down and make it a little bit
easier to understand. Some the things that I've
kind of, like,
have been involved in studying and and researching
and and observing over the past.
Short amount of time during this micro dose
journey. I will tell you this though, this
is very important I kinda gave up on
asking the favor of going on,
wherever you're listening to a Spotify or Apple
podcast and giving us a
rating. And if you even have... That takes
a second. That takes like a split second
to give a 5 star rating. Split second.
But if you have a couple extra... If
you have an a minute or so if
you wanna give a review. I think you
can only do that on Apple. I don't
think you can really do a review on
Spotify, but you spotify people are catching up
to Apple by the way. Apple was always
way ahead in the ratings.
But now recently in recent months, Spotify is
like,
is, like, poised to pass Apple. So it's
turning into a little mini tug of war
here. So I'm asking you from my heart
if you have a second either now pause
this or after the show, I'll try to
remind you at the end, but I might
forget
Just go on to whatever platform you're listing,
Apple or Spotify and do the best you
can with 5 star rating if you believe
that's what this show is worth because I
put my energy and heart and soul every
episode, and you're gonna see this episode, and
I think you're gonna I think you're gonna
really like it. So thanks for that. And
remember also,
in, every episode show notes, the show notes,
I've got all kinds of
information and links that you can go to
to help you further in your studies of
micro dosing
and
my brand new website
micro dose u dot com. Spelled exactly like
it sounds. Micro dose with a letter u
tacked on the end.
Dot com,
check it out. And again,
I am available along with my colleague and
good friend, doctor Denise More to help any
of you that want some 1 on 1
help. Whatever it might be.
Whatever it might be available with our 1
on 1 program. So check that out Let
me know if you need anything from me.
Anyway, Okay. Let's get into today's episode. First
of all, are we living in some type
of a
simulation.
And
some of you might not even understand what
the question. It's it's it's been this has
been talked about for quite some time now.
I'm not the first. There been many,
again, physicists and philosophers and and the like
that are have been discussing this for for
quite some time. But in case you're not
really sure what that means.
So imagine
that we as... When I say we, human
beings, human beings create
a video game. You know, if first video
games were fairly simple by our standards today,
you know, on what were they
tong and Pac man and Donkey Kong. And
they were they were pretty simple, but
Today, if you... Are a gamer and you
turn on a video game, they look very
very lifelike like, like, very realistic. The graphics
and and everything else that goes along with
that.
But let's say...
I don't know. Let's just make this up
10000 years from now. If we still survive
as as a as a species,
human beings. If, 10000 years from now, assuming
we have the amount of computing power we
would need,
why would it not be possible for us
to
create some type of video game
where we're actually simulating
cell simulating, like, another universe.
And we've gotten to the point since it's
thousands of thousands of years from now that
we can actually create
characters in there that are
Sentient. They can think they can think on
their own.
I mean, that's not
that's not impossible. Right? If we progress enough
in our intelligence and we have the computing
power,
that's that's a possibility.
So what a
simulation people say are we living in a
simulation, some people and very smart people
believe that
we are as as we are, you know,
you and me and our entire universe
is a simulated universe, kinda like a video
game that a more advanced
civilization has created and they're just kinda sitting
back and and watching us and programming us
or whatever they do. But they've got, like,
enormous
brain power and computing power, and they're able
to do this. And so many people do
think that we're
actually
part of a simulation, they were not real.
We're not like the like, the the the
the original universe.
So there was a there's a philosopher,
from Oxford,
Nick Bo,
who showed that at least,
1 of the these 3 possibilities
must be true. At least 1. Number 1
is all human like civilizations in the universe
go extinct
before they develop the technological
capacity to create
simulated
realities.
So in other words, they just won't last
long enough to get to that point where
they can create create simulation, simulated universes.
Number 2,
If any civilizations do reach this phase of
techno technological
maturity,
none of them would even be it in
bothering to run simulations. It would just be
something that's, you know, maybe looked at as
boring and no interest.
And number 3,
And remember, 1 of these must be true.
This says this philosopher,
Ba.
Number 3 is advanced civilizations would have the
ability to create many many
simulations, and that means there are far more
simulated worlds
than non simulated ones.
So what that would mean? If number 3
is the 1 that's true that we are
most definitely
almost almost definitely in a simulation.
So what do I think? Do I think
we're in a simulated universe? So I think
we're in some kind of lack of a
better way to ex explain it We're we're
in some other universes video game, and they're
just watching us and programming us and we're
not real.
It sounds far fetched, but
I believe that's a very strong possibility.
I believe that we may be part of
a video game, part of a simulation of
another universe.
It's absolutely...
And and if you do some research on
this, just do just check it out on
your own, don't believe Doctor Dave on this.
Just my opinion.
You will see some extremely
smart
people that understand quantum
physics and
physics and philosophy,
way more than I do. Way more and
many people do believe that we're in a
simulation.
Now again, I only really started thinking of
this stuff when I got deep into the
mushrooms,
micro dosing with a couple couple
little larger doses, but nothing crazy, crazy, but
the re wiring of my brain is is
is such that
I'm not just going about my everyday life
just living my life,
doing my work,
eating, making money, going to sleep, waking up
the next morning if that's what most people
do.
Most most people don't really think that deeply.
They just go up at their lives and
and whatever it is it is.
And certainly,
you know, animals, dogs, and cats and cows.
They're not... They're probably not thinking, like, what
is are we at a simulation? They're probably
not thinking that. Although I can't be positive
of that, they may know more than we
think they know, and they probably do, but
still, I'm not sure of that.
So there's a lot of complex things out
there that are uncover or begin to get
uncovered
when...
We... Our brain start to become rewire and
we're micro dosing and we're using psilocybin, which...
But I do believe was put on this
planet whether it's a simulation or not was
for a reason,
for a reason. But there's only so far
we can go. The human brain
is only capable and human being... And we're
only think about this
We only have... What do we have 5
senses. Right? What does it? Look look seeing,
hearing, feeling,
smelling,
pasting. I don't know That might be right.
I'm not sure. I just... Off the top
of my head.
Who's the... Our 5 cents we can... We
see what we what we can see,
but
if you think about it,
there could be other senses
that we just don't have.
So we're only seeing, like a tiny, tiny,
tiny part of what... Of what's out there.
And or are we really even seeing reality?
That's that's something really deep to think about.
I don't know the answer probably not.
What we're seeing and experiencing is probably not
reality.
That's my guess.
Now does it mean that we need to
we do believe that, do we live our
lives any differently, No, because
we still feel pain,
if we do something wrong, we're still gonna
get punished, If and it doesn't... So it
really doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, but I think it's very
interesting to.
Realize that there are other possibilities that we
might be in a simulation. Now I I
think there's... Again, I think there's a very
strong possibility we are.
And you think I'm in nuts then okay.
You need to be on mushrooms a little
longer.
Because
5 years ago, I probably would not have
said this.
But if you if you think about it
every single thing
down to
atoms and subatomic particles. They're all, they're all
basically
zeros and ones.
Everything seems like it could be just a
computer program running. And when you break it
down to, to... You know, we used to
think that Atoms were the smallest
smallest
piece of matter. If that's the right term,
I'm not sure if that's right but smallest
part of matter atoms.
But now we know there are
things way smaller than Atoms, sub subatomic atomic
particles, and it seems like whenever we get
to a point where we think something is
smaller, nothing smaller.
There always is.
Always always.
I don't think we've ever got to the
point where
we said this is definitely the smallest particle
in this universe because I I think we
don't know what the smallest particle is. I
don't I don't think we do.
And if we think we do, I think
that's gonna be
you know, corrected at some point because we
don't know.
And what about
what what about
Life... What what what happens when you die?
What about locate? Let's talk about dying for
a second? Is that, again, the age old
question, what happens when you die, and and
many people say, well, you know, they have
their feelings and different religions have their feelings.
And that... That's all fine.
But think about this.
Okay. Before
for you were born,
you had... It was there was, like, just
as far as your concern, there was just
nothing. Nothingness.
You have no
recollection of anything before you were born, just
fast nothing.
I think you would agree with that. Right?
You don't have memories of of something else
before you were born.
I don't think anybody truly does.
Memories of of a life before you were
born. I mean, there was just nothing this.
Nothing. Nothing.
And then we're born, and then we we
are
sentient. We're we're conscious. We we know it
we live our lives, you know, anywhere from,
you know, short amount of time to a
to a long ripe old age,
and then we die.
And then
I think it's safe to say that when
we die,
we could be going back into that nothing
this state again. Just nothing. Just don't... Feel
anything. Don't see anything.
There's just not... It's not even dark. There's
just nothing. It just nothing.
Not darkness,
not a bright light, just nothing.
No
recollection of any just nothing going on.
And wait a minute.
Isn't that the same state we were in
before we were born, just nothingness.
So if you think about this,
why couldn't that happen again?
We're in the state of nothing,
and then we were born.
And then we die.
And then there's nothing.
So who's to say?
We couldn't be
born again somewhere somewhere else.
Again, I don't know the ant. Just... This
is food for thought. This is what the
mushrooms are teaching me and telling me, I
don't know Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm a
weirdo.
But if I'm a weirdo then there are
a lot of people that are very
much smarter than I am.
Philosophers and and quantum physicists and and and
I've been... I don't know why, but I've
been really getting into this quantum physics thing
lately, and III wish I was smarter.
I wish I could actually understand it more.
But there's people saying, very smart people saying
some really really cool things.
Like, in other words, some people believe that,
you know, when we're looking at something,
it's there because we're observing it.
But as soon as we're not
observing it anymore,
it's it's really not there. And there actually
been studies that that kind of,
I I can't even get into this, but
it's it's it's super interesting.
And it leads me to believe, like, the
bottom line is, like, what we think is
going on
around us is not really.
What it truly is. And that's like the
easiest way I can say it. Like, like,
we don't understand really what reality is. We
just don't understand.
Because again, we think that...
Okay, like, the fastest speed possible is a
speed of light. There's nothing can go faster
than the Speed. Who said who said that
was it Newton or was it Einstein? Like,
I don't remember, but but there's nothing that's
faster than the speed of light in a
vacuum. Right? Right? I think that's somebody really
smart, much smarter than I am said that.
But then we're finding that when we
dig deep enough and go far enough
but the laws of physics as we know
it don't don't need... They're they're broken. They
don't apply.
So
a lot of the things that we believe
are not necessarily true.
So we don't really even know what our
reality is. That's kinda of my bottom line
in this. We don't we don't really know
and I don't know whether we will ever
be developed enough to really understand it. But
open your mind and realize that What we're
seeing around us is not necessarily what it
really is.
We might be living in a simulation.
And
while we die, we will go into that
nothingness,
just not... And then,
again, the same nothingness.
Before that that it was before we were
born.
So who knows where we'll be after that?
These are crazy thing. Well, they're not crazy
These these are deep things to think about.
I want you to let me know if
you have any comments.
Please comment on the platform your own. If
you can, and if you can't,
I'd love for you to send me an
email or something because I'd love to hear.
I'd love to hear more about from people
that... Especially people that are a lot smarter
than I am that say, Dave, you've got
a good point, but here's what's really going
on. I'd I'd love to hear because I
admit
I admit. I am,
you know, I... I'm knowledgeable about science. I,
I'm, you know, a retired dentist. I went
through dental school. I studied all, you know,
anatomy that doctors,
Mds have to study. I, you know I
know I know a lot.
But when you start comparing me to somebody
that really understands philosophy and physics
and, you know, quantum.
Physics and all that. That's... I'm I'm, like,
they... I pale in comparison to them, like,
nothing. So I'd love to know more if
you can teach me
And if you know enough,
who knows, maybe you could be a future
guest on the show because I'd love to
dive into this little bit deeper. But in
the meantime,
keep that micro dosing going, because it's gonna
keep you curious. It's gonna keep you honest,
it's gonna keep you asking questions. And after
all, what else is there to life than
trying to ask questions and figure out what's
what's actually going on.
Okay. Remember, I have a brand new episode
that comes out every single,
Wednesday and Friday.
What else Was I gonna say? Oh, yeah
This is a reminder since we're wrapping, This
is a reminder to please go on Spotify
or apple and remember the Spotify people. I
have a feeling you're gonna like, take this
seriously and you're gonna kill those apple people.
Knock them dead. There's Apple people, They're they're
gonna be behind spot 5 pretty soon I
predict. I predict.
Okay. Do the best you can, please help
the channel, the more people that find out
a about show
the more people were helping all over this
simulated universe.
And maybe we we are in other universes
that are also simulated
and maybe the base universe as well.
I've been doing my reading. Yeah. Okay. Love
you. I'm, Doctor Dave. I will talk to
you next week.
