    35.23 - MU Podcast - Reality.exe - The Simulation Hypothesis
    Jun 12 2026
    In the back half of The Simulation Hypothesis, Rizwan Virk leaves the gaming and physics foundations behind and heads straight into the deep end: dreams, reincarnation, karma, synchronicity, near-death experiences, UFOs, AI consciousness, and the possibility that ancient mystics were describing the same reality modern technologists are now stumbling toward from the opposite direction. Along the way, he tries to connect Buddhism, Philip K. Dick, quantum mechanics, and modern computing into one giant framework where reality behaves less like dead matter and more like an interactive information system. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension and thank you for joining us on Plus+! Many a fine folk feel a sense of safety from the grasp of the paranormal under the bright lights of the populated pieces of this place we call home. The lights merely illuminating perhaps a false sense of protection against that which bumps in the neon night. Roy Stubblefield is out there setting the record straight about what lurks about after dark on the mean streets of these cities with his busty brush with the bizarre when he encountered a Dog”man” type creature leaving him in a wet mess of his own making.

    35.22 - MU Podcast - UFO Reflections | Abductions
    Jun 5 2026
    UFOs capture our attention like nothing else can as we hear stories of these flying wonders and contemplate their origins, missions, and purposes. Some captivate more than others, literally capturing unsuspecting citizens to be brought aboard these enigmas for more baffling experiences. Philip Mantle is an outstanding researcher, author, and firsthand witness to the world of the freaky woo-woo.His new book, “UFO Reflections,” boasts a wide variety of said “woo” and offers us all greater insights into this highly strange phenomenon. In our Plus+ extension, we visit an MIT computer scientist and game designer Rizwan Virk in his book The Simulation Hypothesis as he takes a swing at one of the wildest ideas floating around modern culture: what if reality itself is basically a massively multiplayer simulation? He tries to connect ancient mystical ideas with modern computational thinking. Whether he’s onto something profound or just brilliantly overthinking Zelda, this one opens up a ton of questions about consciousness, perception, and what this place actually is.

    May 29 2026
    Welcome back to MU! This week we look into Children of the New Earth by Jill M. Jackson, a wild blend of Starseed mythology, psychic children, spiritual evolution, and humanity’s technological crossroads. From Indigo children to the "Solar Rays", we go through the variety of children appearing with the apparent mission of healing the earth and ushering us into the next age of human ascension! Buckle up for this one, it's a wild ride! Did you know that there are shapeshifters and mighty morphers are all around you? Offering oodles of fun questions like, what defines the definition of something? Is it the way it appears? What if looks are not what they seem and the thing you are looking at, so certain of its form, is not that at all, but an imposter out to bewilder the bewilderable? From mimic jellyfish to giant flying jellyfish, who’s to say what anyone is really seeing?
