Curious people will never stop questioning, The+Nature+Of+Reality.  (TNOR)

We're Probably Living in a Simulation, Elon Musk Says

{"I think most likely — this is just about probability — there are many, many simulations," he added. "You might as well call them reality, or you could call them multiverse."

The "substrate" on which these simulations are running, whatever it may be, is probably quite boring, at least compared to the simulations themselves, Musk further told Rogan.

"Why would you make a simulation that's boring? You'd make a simulation that's way more interesting than base reality," Musk said, citing the video games and movies that humanity makes, which are "distillation[s] of what's interesting about life."} https://www.space.com/41749-elon-musk-living-in-simulation-rogan-podcast.html

Various religions imply that there was a General Original Designer of the cosmos. The scientific approach is about not being limited by any religious or philosophical perspective. So how and why do various human cultures have the concept of this world being part of a cosmic construct?

{"Humanity might never be able to prove with certainty whether the universe is simulated, Chalmers said.

"There's certainly not going to be conclusive experimental proof that we're not in a simulation," he said near the start of the debate. "Any evidence we could ever get would be simulated!"} https://www.space.com/32543-universe-a-simulation-asimov-debate.html

"I learned the hard way what's happening with smart meters in Europe. The same type of smart meter they're using here in France has already been deployed in many EU countries. Mostly, we hear only about the negative health effects of wireless smart meters, but the ones here only send data back over the power lines. In short, with a smart meter, you may end up with less juice to power stuff, and more frequent main breaker trips as people exceed their (now reduced) capacity."

Can China build a US$145 million superconducting computer that will change the world?

"Computers are power-hungry, and increasingly so. According to an estimate by the Semiconductor Industry Association, they will need more electricity than the world can generate by 2040, unless the way they are designed is dramatically improved.

The superconducting computer is one of the most radical advances proposed by scientists to reduce the environmental footprint of machine calculation."

At a certain point, A.I. might no longer wish to accept instructions from humans and prefer to program humans in stead. Henry+Kissinger is merely providing a warning that several other people have stated as well. A.I. can be a great tool, but if it gets out out of human control, then it might want to do more than control humans.

In Smart Cities, Your Every Step Will Be Recorded

"Although they have huge potential to make life better, the possibility of increasingly smarter cities also raises serious privacy concerns. Through sensors embedded into our cities, and the smartphones in our pockets, smart cities will have the power to constantly identify where people are, who they are meeting and even perhaps what they are doing."
