“Elon Musk thinks it’s almost certain that we’re living in some version of The Matrix. In fact, he believes that there’s a “one in billions chance” that reality as we know it is not a computer simulation“

I don’t get this fascination with “living in the Matrix.” Christians believe that we die, our real essence, the soul, goes on to heaven (hopefully) or hell.

Quantum mechanics indicates we are in a (computer) simulation. The math works out. No such thing as time or reality. The Bible does not discard this idea. This is a simply a testing ground to see who will fit in in the real world. Hint: violent ones throwing fists do not qualify. I agree with Elon.

“Elon Musk thinks it’s almost certain that we’re living in some version of The Matrix.”

Silliness. That’s like Einstein thinking space has curves in it.

Sometimes really smart guys have some exceedingly stupid ideas.
