The 3+ Hour Deep Dive into Reality, Illusions, and Time
What if everything you believe about reality is a carefully constructed lie?
This video explores the deepest, strangest, and most unsettling thought experiments ever conceived. From the possibility that you’re inside a simulation, to paradoxes that unravel time itself—each idea pushes the boundaries of logic, physics, and identity. You will meet AI gods, resurrected copies of yourself, digital dreams, and universes built entirely from information.

🎧 Perfect for:
▸ Falling asleep while questioning existence
▸ Deep solo reflection and late-night walks
▸ Philosophical rabbit holes with no bottom
▸ Breaking the illusion of self and time
▸ Realizing you may not be the original "you"

If you’re ready to go further than you ever have, start watching.
