How to Be Sure You're Not Living in a Computer Simulation

Red or blue pill?
LAURA D'OLIMPIO, THE CONVERSATION
1 JUL 2018

Consider this: right now, you are not where you think you are. In fact, you happen to be the subject of a science experiment being conducted by an evil genius.

Your brain has been expertly removed from your body and is being kept alive in a vat of nutrients that sits on a laboratory bench.

The nerve endings of your brain are connected to a supercomputer that feeds you all the sensations of everyday life. This is why you think you're living a completely normal life.
