Cloud Realities

From all of us at Cloud Realities, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!  Back in our December 2022 Christmas special, we explored the far reaches of reality, asking whether we live in a simulation and if that even matters. Now, we return to that question with fresh perspectives and new challenges… In this last Cloud Realities podcast of 2025, Dave, Esmee and Rob return to the simulation with Anders Indset, philosopher, author, and long-time friend of the show, revisiting a question that’s been quietly running underneath everything we’ve discussed since 2022: If reality itself is information and what does that mean for being human?   TLDR: 00:58 – It’s Christmas!08:32 – Major announcement and reflections on the Cloud Realities podcast journey15:32 – Celebrating three big wins: B2B Marketing Awards (Best Content, Best Customer Retention) and The Drum (Best Creative Audio)22:55 – Is there a next thing?23:30 – Welcoming Anders Indset, who shares his vision for practical philosophy and the future of human/AI co-evolution32:02 – Exploring the Quantum Economy and the Singularity Paradox58:10 – Deep dive into the Simulation Hypothesis, revisiting the 2022 discussion and Rob is again confused...01:27:45 – Anders enjoying Christmas in the Norwegian wilderness01:29:40 – Edit pointGuest Anders Indset: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andersindset/ or andersindset.com Additional information: thequantumeconomy.com and tomorrowmensch.com Hosts Dave Chapmanger: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ Esmee van de Gluhwein: https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/ Rob Snowmananahan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ Production Dr Mike van Der Buabbles: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/ Dave Chapmanger: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/   Sound Ben Jingle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/ Louis Snow:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/   'Cloud Realities' is an original podcast from Capgemini
