Are we living in a simulation? A ten-part series on maya and the modern question

Elon Musk has said the odds that we live in "base reality" are one in billions. Indian philosophy has spent well over two thousand years on a related question: how the world appears, and what it really is. This series sets the two side by side, one idea per episode, and is careful about where they agree and where they part.

What will I find in this series?

Ten short episodes. Episode 1 looks at what Musk actually said, where his argument comes from, and what the Upanishads and Shankara mean by maya. Later episodes turn to the Mandukya Upanishad, mithya and more.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a scientific claim about simulations?
No. Each episode explains what a thinker actually claims, with sources you can check, and leaves the verdict to you.
