Are we living in a simulation? And if so, does it make any difference? For
MEL, I spoke with Rodney Ascher, who makes documentaries about true believers. His latest,
A Glitch in the Matrix, concerns everyday people who are convinced that the life around us is actually an illusion. Ascher isn't so interested in figuring out whether they're right or not. As always, he's more invested in why people believe what they believe.
Hope you enjoy our conversation.
