Are We Living in a Matrix? Dr. Waku on AI, Reality, and Simulation Theory

🎙️ Are We Living in a Matrix? And Who Will Dominate the Future of AI — the U.S. or China?
In this episode of Mind Blowers, we dive deep into the simulation hypothesis with Dr. Waku, a leading expert in cybersecurity, AI ethics, and digital systems. Could it be that the world we live in is not real — that it’s actually a simulated environment, much like what we saw in The Matrix? Dr. Waku explains why this theory is no longer just science fiction.

We also explore what it would mean if advanced AIs — or even alien intelligence — were running our reality. Can we ever wake up from the simulation? Could there be “glitches in the code”? And what existential risks or philosophical questions does this raise for humanity?

But that’s just one half of the conversation.

We shift gears into geopolitics of AI:
🌍 Who’s winning the global race — the United States or China?
💥 Is AI development becoming the next Cold War?
🤖 Could one country dominate not just the economy, but consciousness, society, and control over digital reality?

Dr. Waku brings a unique perspective combining deep tech knowledge and global policy awareness. This is an eye-opening conversation you don’t want to miss if you’re into AI, simulation theory, future technology, and digital power shifts.
