CONSPIRACY THEORIES: The Simulation

What if reality isn’t real at all? In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson explores Simulation Theory — the unsettling idea that our world may be an advanced computer program. Tracing the concept from ancient philosophy and science fiction to modern thinkers like Nick Bostrom and today’s tech leaders, this episode examines why millions believe we’re living in a simulation, the so-called “glitches” people claim as proof, and the dangerous consequences when the theory blurs the line between belief and violence. Is this a harmless thought experiment… or a worldview with real-world consequences?
