Podcasts about Simulation

✔️Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop — repeating the same patterns no matter how much healing or mindset work you do? ✔️Wondering why your manifestation isn't working even though you're doing everything right? In this Transcension School lesson, you'll get the PhD level of the manifestation techniques directly from the Solar Council. You'll learn how to Quantum Jump by dissolving your current avatar and selecting a new one — shifting your consciousness, your vibration, and your PHYSICAL BODY (!) into a new timeline where your Soul's desires are already encoded. We explore: ✨ Why your deepest challenges are evolutionary triggers ✨ How the Earth Simulation works (hardware vs. software) ✨ The 5-step Conscious Future Method to embody your next-level self ✨ The mechanics of identity shifting, timeline jumping, and avatar embodiment ✨ How to hold your new reality and stabilize the frequency long enough for the Simulation to actually respond! This is about becoming the version of you that's already living your higher reality (NOT escaping your problems). Ready to hold the frequency and actually step into the new avatar right now? ... Dive in! .

Marius Goldhorns Roman „Die Prozesse“ wechselt zwischen realer und Spielwelt, erzählt von Ezra/Deborn, dem Aussterben-Propheten, und einem Ich-Erzähler in einem postkolonialen, klimatisch verunsicherten Europa. Komplex und irritierend – im besten Sinne. Rezension von Alexander Wasner

De nombreux apprentis conducteurs s'entraînent désormais sur des simulateurs de conduite, en particulier ceux conçus par The Good Drive. Reportage dans cette entreprise française et dans une auto-école traditionnelle. Côté auto-écoles en ligne, on mise plutôt sur un module de e-learning, comme nous l'explique Flavien Le Rendu, cofondateur d'Ornikar, et une jeune titulaire du permis.

Dave Weiss returns for Flat Earth 3, torching the entertainment circus and exposing why they keep feeding you lies. He unloads raw Flat Earth truths designed to burn through your programming and shatter the spin. This is Paranoi—uncut, ruthless, and aimed straight at the system's chokehold on reality. VISIT FLAT EARTH DAVE FOLLOW FLAT EARTH DAVE ON INSTAGRAMDOWNLOAD THE SUN MOON AND ZODIAC APP// Paranoi Radio is on YouTube

In this lecture, we introduce the three different simulation methodologies (agent-based modeling, system dynamics modeling, and discrete event system simulation) and then focus on how stochastic modeling is used within discrete-event system simulation. In particular, we define terms such as system, dynamic system, state, state variable, activity, delay, resource, entity, and the notion of "input modeling."

In this lecture, we introduce Industrial and Systems Engineering as a blend of science and engineering that necessitates model building. We then define model (as something that answers a "What If" question) and different types of models. This gives us an opportunity to discuss how modeling is less about describing reality and more about generating tools to do useful things/make useful predictions. We end with a comparison of mental and quantitative models, as well as a comparison of different types of quantitative models (including simulation modeling).

In this episode, Junior explores the idea that we live in a simulation — but not the kind made famous by sci-fi movies. Instead, it's about how the brain processes and perceives reality. The exciting truth? You have the power to program your own simulation.Junior explains how reprogramming your subconscious mind through focused affirmations, meditation, vocalization, and visualization can change your outer world. It all starts with giving clear, consistent instructions to the subconscious. But there's more — when you deeply trust in the Superconscious (whether you call it God, Source, the Universe, or your Higher Self), life begins to flow effortlessly.Trying too hard creates resistance. But surrendering — allowing the universe to work through you — creates alignment. Junior shares insights on how we've been conditioned by systems designed to manage us, and how to break free from that conditioning.You can live in the world, but not be of the world. The key is to hand your instructions to the subconscious, and your worries to the Superconscious… and watch your reality transform.Want to work with Junior?

Nach der Sommerpause muss Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz gleich mehrere Riesenprojekte angehen: überfällige Sozialreformen, das viel zu teure Gesundheitssystem, Anschub für die stagnierende Wirtschaft. Die Bundesregierung kündigt einen “Herbst der Entscheidungen” an – aber folgen darauf auch wirklich große Reformen?   In dieser Folge von “Was jetzt – der Wahlkreis” beschäftigen sich unsere Hosts Lisa Caspari, Paul Middelhoff und Robert Pausch mit Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der Bundesregierung und geben einen Ausblick auf die kommenden Wochen: Was ist los mit der Unionsfraktion, die von Friedrich Merz “Führung” bestellt hat, nun aber so ganz und gar nicht glücklich damit ist, wie er führt? Ist der Besuch der Europäer bei Trump nun eigentlich ein Erfolg, oder bloß die Simulation von Politik?  Außerdem geht es zum Abschluss der Ferien um die große politische Sommer-Lovestory. Shownotes: Frank Bösch: Macht und Machtverlust. Die Geschichte der CDU  Podcast mit Adam Tooze über den Handelsdeal zwischen den USA und Deutschland ZEIT-Porträt über Friedrich Merz: "Ganz oben, ziemlich allein" ZEIT: "So lässt sich im Gesundheitswesen sparen"       [ANZEIGE] Mehr über die Angebote unserer Werbepartnerinnen und -partner finden Sie HIER.

Enter the mind-bending realm where reality itself comes into question. This consciousness-altering episode dives deep into the increasingly popular theory that our entire existence might be nothing more than an advanced computer simulation. Through cutting-edge quantum physics research, unexplainable glitches in everyday life, and testimonies from people who've witnessed reality breaks, we explore the possibility that we're living in a programmed reality. From synchronicities that defy probability to documented matrix glitches that challenge our understanding of time and space, discover why brilliant minds like Elon Musk believe we're most likely living in a simulation. We examine artificial intelligence developments, quantum computing breakthroughs, and ancient philosophical concepts that all point to one disturbing question: Is anything we experience actually real?

Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple PodcastsWe live in simulated worlds of our own making, detecting patterns in the chaos and complexity of raw experience and boiling them down into operable categories and generalizations. Sometimes we do this well, and sometimes…This week's guest, computer scientist and game designer Chaim Gingold, wrote what I consider the best book available on the history and sociality of simulations: Building Sim City: How to Put the World in a Machine (MIT Press) takes readers from the prehistory of modern computing through the post-war development of cybernetics and systems thinking and into the entangled relationship of video games, military info-tech, civil engineering, software-based education, and complexity science that forms today's “invisible environment.” Sim City is more than a legendary video game. It is case study in how the digital revolution reshaped the ways we think, teach, design, and govern…and how what simulation as a mode of discourse can hide and reveal, oppress and empower us. In this dialogue we explore the the tensions between games and play, the analog and digital, abstraction and tactility, and mysticism and colonialism in simulation-induced experiences. We investigate the rise and fall of Sim City game developer MAXIS, weave threads through the history of computing and software development, systems science, and the philosophy of technology, and ask:What makes some abstractions better than others?If you enjoy this conversation, join the Wisdom x Technology Discord server and consider becoming a member for access to the complete archives, study groups, and community calls.Founding members also get access to the entire twenty hours of lecture and discussion from my recent course, How to Live in the Future at Weirdosphere.Show Links• Explore the interactive knowledge garden grown from over 250 episodes• Dig into nine years of mind-expanding podcasts• Explore the Humans On The Loop archives• Browse the books we discuss on the show at Bookshop.org• Hire me for speaking or consultingMentionsWill WrightJohn Conway's Game of LifeVannevar BushAlan Kay & Xerox PARCEd Catmull - Creativity, Inc.James Clerk MaxwellEthan MollickGottfried LiebnizLarry OwensJay ForresterLauren F.

In this mind-bending episode of Total Disclosure: UFOs, Cover-Ups & Conspiracy, host Ty Roberts sits down with MIT graduate, tech entrepreneur, and best-selling author Rizwan Virk to unravel one of the most profound theories of our time: Are we living in a simulation? We dive into Philip K. Dick's vision of reality as a rendered world, where life unfolds like a massive video game program. Could UFOs and non-human intelligences be part of this simulation—programmers, watchers, or even glitches in the code? Topics explored include:The Mandela Effect and Déjà Vu as potential proof of simulation resets.UFOs and what they represent in a simulated reality.The role of a higher power—is there truly a God, or simply a cosmic coder?What this means for humanity, free will, and the disclosure movement.This episode goes beyond traditional UFO conversations, fusing science, philosophy, and spirituality into a groundbreaking discussion about the true nature of reality. 

Making an Astro Gnosis presentation public, and just in time. Dr. Will Peer provides the Rosetta Stone in understanding Artificial Intelligence and our lovely Simulation. And why the Archons love drowning us in technology. You can bet he will bring the ideas of Philip K. Dick and The Matrix into the conversation. From the Eliza Effect to Social Presence Theory to Computers Are Social Actors Theory, get ready to see technology in a new and even more alive way. It's like taking the Red Pill for the first time. Dr. Peer is an adjunct computer science professor at Southern New Hampshire University. His work includes investigating the psychology of human beings perceiving a digital entity as real.

 This week we are on the run from long-dead friends while we discuss “This”! We're talking the return of Cyber Langly, the Boo Crew suddenly turning into action stars, how we really could have used more of Mulder and Scully handcuffed-together hijinks, Skinner's boring apartment, and how much Deep Throat hates QR codes. We pitch a ‘Mulder and Scully go to IKEA' episode, enjoy the escape room vibes, think the episode would be improved with a dance battle, and wonder where exactly Langly's secret girlfriend was this entire time. Wait a minute. Are we in the simulation? Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram! 

The simulation is upon us and we got in deep this week. Trump and Putin negotiate peace whether the rest of the world likes it or not. DC ended up being federalized and now we see how far the clean up effort goes. We'll tell you know, many people are asking for the same treatment in cities like Chicago and Atlanta. Marc Maron is ending his podcast. We send him off appropriately. Roblox and Meta have extreme child protection failures to deal with. Robots are off and running at their own Olympics and Eric Weinstein discusses lost science due to the Department of Energy and US Policies.  Lots to unpack and Jefe is the Antman.  Think Critically Act Accordingly @spreakerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/whiskey-hell-podcast--5683729/support.

Jeremy Au and Sang Shin trace Sang's journey from a privileged childhood in the Philippines to his evolution as an entrepreneur, investor, and philosopher. They unpack the pivotal moments that shaped his outlook, the hard lessons from building a privacy-first startup that challenged big tech, and his creation of Fafty, a belief system grounded in the idea that life is a simulation and the true goal is to elevate personal existence. Their conversation weaves together stories of youthful awakening, the realities of startups and investing, and reflections on AI, religion, and parenting as forces that guide self-transformation. 02:00 A street encounter in high school sparked gratitude and change: Seeing a boy his age pushing a cart barefoot on hot asphalt made Sang realize his privilege. He cut his hair as a symbolic reset, faced teasing and rumors at school, and used the experience as fuel to work harder, eventually earning straight As and getting into a good college. 08:35 Chose environmental science and economics at Tufts University to understand the conflict between economy and ecology: Realized there was no silver bullet to solving environmental problems and pivoted toward technology during the early internet era. Self-taught web skills allowed him to compete in a new field where there was no entrenched expertise. 16:52 Built a privacy-focused ad tech startup to give users control over their data: The product let people opt out of ad networks or opt in to get paid directly by advertisers. It went viral with millions of downloads but was later banned by Apple, which also revoked Sang's developer access. This taught him the lesson that money always wins. 21:08 Moved to Singapore in 2016 believing the US had peaked: Saw Southeast Asia as an emerging startup hub and wanted to help founders and grow the entrepreneurial ecosystem from the investor side. 24:35 Realized startups are another kind of rat race: Founders still face systems, funding stages, boards, and oversight similar to corporate hierarchies, challenging the idea of full autonomy. 27:28 Created Fafty, a belief system rejecting centralization and canonization: Based on the belief that reality is a simulation, it encourages people to respawn as a fully conscious player rather than an NPC, gaining control over impulses and actions instead of following programmed behavior. 45:28 Parenthood and training AI shaped his views on intelligence and consciousness: Observed parallels in how his children and AI models learn but emphasized that AI lacks qualia, the subjective experience of sensations like sweetness or pain.

Sean Webb enters the mind meld! Sean experienced a life altering awakening experience in which he felt his consciousness leave his body, encounter an overwhelming intelligence, merge with the universe and return with a transformed understanding of reality. The message was clear: consciousness is the fundamental fabric of existence. Sean's journey eventually weaves through the mysterious intersection of UFO phenomena, psi, and altered states of awareness. How are mind and matter connected? Could UFO encounters be as much about consciousness as they are about craft? And what does that mean for humanity's place in the cosmos? About Sean Webb is an author, seeker, experiencer. Sean has dedicated his life to exploring the nature of mind, emotion, and reality itself. His work blends neuroscience, philosophy, and personal transformation, often tackling topics from emotional mastery to UFOs and the frontiers of human perception.

How well do EMS teams manage critically ill pediatric patients—and how do we know? In this special crossover episode with the EMS Educator Podcast, hosts Rob Lawrence and Maia Dorsett speak with Mark Cicero, lead author of a landmark study published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study used simulation to assess EMS performance in pediatric emergencies. From medication dosing errors to missed fundamentals like cap refill checks, Dr. Cicero breaks down what the study revealed across more than 150 simulations in three states. Dr. Dorsett shares how the findings challenged her own assumptions as an educator and led to reflections on curriculum design, quality improvement, and the need for deliberate, high-frequency pediatric practice.

On February 20, 1974, while recovering from the effects of sodium pentothal administered for the extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth, Dick received a home delivery of Darvon from a young woman. When he opened the door, he was struck by the dark-haired girl's beauty, and was especially drawn to her golden necklace. He asked her about its curious fish-shaped design. As she was leaving, she replied: "This is a sign used by the early Christians." Dick called the symbol the "vesicle pisces". This name seems to have been based on his conflation of two related symbols, the Christian ichthys symbol (two intersecting arcs delineating a fish in profile), which the woman was wearing, and the vesica piscis.[39] Dick recounted that as the sun glinted off the gold pendant, the reflection caused the generation of a "pink beam" of light that mesmerized him. He came to believe the beam imparted wisdom and clairvoyance, and also believed it to be intelligent. On one occasion, he was startled by a separate recurrence of the pink beam, which imparted the information that his infant son was ill. The Dicks rushed the child to the hospital, where the illness was confirmed by professional diagnosis.[40][verification needed] After the woman's departure, Dick began experiencing strange hallucinations. Although initially attributing them to side effects from medication, he considered this explanation implausible after weeks of continued hallucination. He told Charles Platt: "I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane."[41] Throughout February and March 1974, Dick experienced a series of hallucinations which he referred to as "2-3-74",[26][42] shorthand for February–March 1974. Aside from the "pink beam", he described the initial hallucinations as geometric patterns, and, occasionally, brief pictures of Jesus and ancient Rome. As the hallucinations increased in duration and frequency, Dick claimed he began to live two parallel lives—one as himself, "Philip K. Dick", and one as "Thomas",[43] a Christian persecuted by Romans in the first century AD. He referred to the "transcendentally rational mind" as "Zebra", "God" and "VALIS" (an acronym for Vast Active Living Intelligence System). He wrote about the experiences, first in the semi-autobiographical novel Radio Free Albemuth, then in VALIS, The Divine Invasion, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer and the unfinished The Owl in Daylight (the VALIS trilogy).[citation needed] In 1974, Dick wrote a letter to the FBI, accusing various people, including University of California, San Diego professor Fredric Jameson, of being foreign agents of Warsaw Pact powers.[44] He also wrote that Stanisław Lem was probably a false name used by a composite committee operating on orders of the Communist party to gain control over public opinion.[45] At one point, Dick felt he had been taken over by the spirit of the prophet Elijah. He believed that an episode in his novel Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said was a detailed retelling of a biblical story from the Book of Acts, which he had never read.[46] He documented and discussed his experiences and faith in a private journal he called his "exegesis", portions of which were later published as The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick. The last novel he wrote was The Transmigration of Timothy Archer; it was published shortly after his death in 1982.[47]https://amzn.to/3ITbWCTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this episode of the EMS Educator Podcast, hosts Rob Lawrence and Maia Dorsett speak with Mark Cicero, lead author of a landmark study published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study used simulation to assess EMS performance in pediatric emergencies. From medication dosing errors to missed fundamentals like cap refill checks, Dr. Cicero breaks down what the study revealed across more than 150 simulations in three states. Dr. Dorsett shares how the findings challenged her own assumptions as an educator and led to reflections on curriculum design, quality improvement, and the need for deliberate, high-frequency pediatric practice. They also explore the power of SIM Box—a free, low-tech, high-impact simulation toolkit—and how small, creative learning opportunities can help EMS clinicians gain confidence, accuracy, and readiness for rare but high-stakes pediatric calls. Whether you're a field provider, educator, or medical director, this episode offers practical insights and real tools to help build a system of pediatric care that's proactive, not reactive. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

Rizwan Virk (The Simulation Hypothesis) is an entrepreneur, computer scientist, and bestselling author. Rizwan joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the VR ping pong game that tipped him off we might be in a simulation, his ten stages of singularity that the physical world isn't exactly what we think it is, and comparing the NPC versus RPG versions of the simulation. Rizwan and Dax talk about whether The Matrix was prophetic, if such AI advancement is inevitable how we would know if we're in a simulation, and the observer effect in quantum physics as illustrated by Schrödinger's Cat. Rizwan explains ancient Eastern religious and philosophical origins of the sim, the bizarre notion of consciousness that the past isn't fixed, and the Mandela Effect as evidence of the existence of alternate timelines.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
