Rizwan (“Riz”) Virk, MS, is an entrepreneur, investor, video game industry pioneer, and indie film producer. He has produced film adaptations of the works of Philip K. Dick and Ursula K. Le Guin. His books include Startup Myths & Models, The Simulation Hypothesis, Zen Entrepreneurship, and Treasure Hunt: Follow Your Inner Clues to Find True Success.

Here he shares how his interest in the simulation hypothesis grew out of his involvement in the world of video gaming. He focuses on several parallels between our external world of appearances and developments in massive, multi-player role playing games. He explains how this hypothesis offers a cogent explanation for phenomena such as remote viewing, reincarnation, near-death experiences, and even mystical experiences of oneness.
