Is this our first rodeo?
Not our first rodeo, partner 🤠 — we’ve wrangled some wild ideas before. Want to lasso up something new today?
Is life a simulation?
Ah, the ol’ “Are we living in a simulation?” question — a philosophical rodeo classic.

Here’s the breakdown:

🧠 The Simulation Hypothesis (Nick Bostrom style):
• If civilizations advance far enough, they might run highly detailed simulations of their ancestors.
• If that’s possible, and they run a lot of them, then statistically, we’re more likely to be in one than in the “base” reality.
• Bostrom gives three options:
1. Civilizations go extinct before reaching that level.
2. They reach it but choose not to simulate.
3. We’re almost certainly in a simulation.
