Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host, Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with Feedback Friday producer, the civilian and vermilion, Gabriel Mizrahi. On the Jordan Harbinger show, we decode the stories, secrets, and skills of the world's most fascinating people and turn their wisdom into practical advice that you can use to impact your own life and those around you. Our mission is to help you become a better informed, more critical thinker, and during the week we have long-formed conversations with a variety of amazing folks.
From organized crime figures, rocket scientists, astronauts, and music moguls, this week we had Rizwan Verk on whether or not we are living in a simulation. He's a former video game developer who explains how computers could actually simulate our entire world and even us. He talks about whether we ourselves might just be an actual simulation, not just in a simulation, we are the simulation. In its this conversation is very sort of non-pothead Redditor kind of way. Don't worry, it's you're not gonna have to roll a blunt beforehand in order to enjoy it.
Gabe and I also interviewed Ken Burns, legendary documentarian and historian. We talked about his new documentary, The American Revolution, about the world-changing impact of the founding of America. We also talked about his unique philosophy of storytelling, how he stays committed to a subject for decades. How he sees this particular moment in American history and how his early experiences drove him to dedicate his career to reviving the dead. A truly fascinating guy with a lot to say.
