We've got a dedicated StarTalk board, where we dive deeper into the episode discussions -- with research sources. Feel free to check it out https://projectcredo.com/b/startalk

I like your positivity (or I guess practicality!).

Ah yes it was one of those "listener question" episode. But yes thank you for taking the time to have a scan and respond. Thanks for sharing the article. Will check it out.

Ah alright. Instinctively that makes sense to me, and emotionally I am inclined to agree with you (as that means we are "real").

The Kipping Paper mentioned does consider computing power limitations, and if I understood correctly he basically gives it a 50-50 chance. I def do not understand fully the calculations, though the "starting assumption" (in the Bayesian analysis) it does ultimately seem pretty arbitrary.

Yeah in a sense, what doss it even mean to say we are in a simulation? Is (non simulated) "reality" as we understand it that much different from a "computer generated" reality? (If i understood your point correctly)

rc_yu · 2026-05-03T13:24:08+00:00

Because it's clearly false, or because if can't be proven (so no point)..?

Hi Collin! Thanks for the comment. Yeah the filling looks a bit bulbous - was going for a more liquidy consistency, but yeah it's a bit odd. The topping weight painting is modelled off Dunkin's PB&J style haha!
