[POSTPONED] Wine & Einstein Lectures: Could you be an NPC? #NYTechWeek (Eventbrite Ticket Required)
Hosted by
^⎵^
◕‿↼UPDATE:
Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, our speaker has experienced a medical emergency. Out of care for their wellbeing and our commitment to delivering the best possible experience for all of you, we’ve made the decision to postpone the event.
The good news?
1. We’re actively working to reschedule this topic and speaker for August or September, and we’ll have a new date confirmed soon. We want this to be the full, high-energy experience you signed up for — and that means waiting until our speaker is fully recovered.
2. Our next Wine and Einstein "The Economics of Pokémon" is scheduled for Thursday, July 23rd, and if you purchased a ticket on Eventbrite we can transfer your ticket to that topic/ date if you prefer.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re excited to bring this to you at the right time. Stay tuned for updates — more details coming shortly!
Thank you for your continued support. 🙏
— The Kage Kickback Team

‘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?
