Wine & Einstein Lectures: Could you be an NPC? +Gaming #NYTechWeek

‘Could you be an NPC?’

We all think we are the main character of our story but how do you know you aren’t an NPC in someone else’s simulation? Is there any way that we can know whether we are in a simulated world? Would a simulation of your brain have conscious experience? If yes, could you then upload your consciousness into a computer? And how can you be so sure it hasn’t happened already?

Join us for a night of gaming, learning, and discussion with a lecture by Dr. Richard Brown, Philosopher, CUNY
