Musk: "What's outside the simulation?"

Musk said that he's talked and thought about this question so many times now that he and is brother put it on a list of "banned questions if we were ever in a hot tub" :) ([interview](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00174Stl4bzd_cMtqNTZTq1qBsgS1RVuYsqfZA9G8XCP42Za0FCxxdlVN__ykfRGgKLzXRrr3Dj_wSkYVxUd6AC_0WsZnUveFK13PbtI2oeVLT-DGdSD9J_t-9-XGRh__zBi8zp4ZARlqtzJDknx6qsk4Ex6gaypgz_7vGX97WRd3D_7gaJrPVBSw==&c=&ch=))

Stay open-minded as you watch this. Musk is keying on [Nick Bostrom's work at Oxford University](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00174Stl4bzd_cMtqNTZTq1qBsgS1RVuYsqfZA9G8XCP42Za0FCxxdlVLYaZ1dQO2jnDGFRzvszHRHkiZddATh3c0dHWx9S1H-kdQSYK0CEE3auKhYtL8nLsqcrUpNr4ClYNWRrg9qPactIw97l4LAGxXNr42q9circGhn5n6lfhpD_c2yHsMaB-Q==&c=&ch=).

- Interviewer: When maybe you or somebody else creates an AGI [Artificial General Intelligence] system and you get to ask her one question, what would that question be?

- Musk: . . . what's outside the simulation?

--- "I agree there is at least a possibility this is a 'simulation'. Doesn't bother me if it proves true. Simulations aren't run in automata where all answers and variables are known. Curiously its even supportive of the notion of free-will. A spiritual training program for eternal beings? How cool would that be to learn?"- Jed Anderson

Human's Simulation

--The Metaverse

---"If the universe is a simulation . . . God didn't leave nature out . . . and we shouldn't either."
