I follow a podcast by AI researcher Lex Fridman whose interviews are always fascinating even when I don’t agree with him. I was listening to a recent interview with Liv Boeree, a self-described “Science Broadcaster, Futurist and Poker Champion.” They were discussing Game Theory when her description took a turn for the cosmic:
Lex: So everything’s a game.
Liv Boeree: …The Universe, what if it’s a game and the goal of the game is to figure out either how to beat it, how to get out of it. Maybe this Universe is an escape room, like a giant escape room, and the goal is to figure out…pull all the pieces of the puzzle, figure out how it works, in order to, like, unlock this…hyperdimensional key and get out beyond what it is….And you level up. Like us becoming inter-planetary would be a level-up. Or us trying to figure out how to upload our consciousnesses…That would probably be a leveling up. Or spiritually - humanity becoming more combined and less adversarial and bloodthirsty, and us becoming a little bit more enlightened. That would be a leveling up.
If one of the questions most asked about pursuing Past Lives is “Why do this work?” Liv Boeree may have delivered a great answer:
“To Level Up. To unlock this hyper dimensional key and get out beyond physical reality.”
That was one minute of a 3 hour discussion.
