An Unreasonably Deep Dive Into 'the Simulation Problem' in Doctor Who

How do we know we're not in a simulation? What does it mean for us to feel the world isn't real? How does Steven Moffat's Veritas apply to our lives in 'reality'? A video essay written, produced, and presented by Oliver Tomkins. In 'Derealisation in Extremis', Oliver Tomkins tackles 'the Simulation Problem' in Doctor Who, using Steven Moffat's 2017 episode Extremis as a jumping-off point to examine retreats into escapism, layers of unreality, the basis of cruelty, worlds of shadow and artifice, hypernormalisation, the nature of human survival, constraints on imagined futures, the slipperiness behind invocations of 'golden eras', system video game style progress, & much more!
