What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] it's very popular today the discussion of this world potentially being a just a digital simulation and that's really good in the Jewish world because Judaism has always believed this world's a digital simulation in the art tradition this world doesn't exist in its in Anna's in and of itself it is rather a projection it's being projected into existence via a beam there's a being projecting the world into existence now if you think about it philosophically it makes total sense because we can't both absolutely exist either were projection of god or gods of projection of humans one of us has to be the projection you can't have both of us empirically real why why is that because if you want to say that there's a God so well God is outside space and time unlimited by space and time and we're inside a world that is limpid and so you don't so if God absolutely exists and then you can't have a physical world because the physical world is limited by space and time so how can you have an infinite being that's limited it's obvious not let if it can't be infinite once you say God is infinite you can't have a physical world empiric legions this exists unless we're a projection of the infinite being automatically we have to be a projection of that infinitely or you could say we do exist like we absolutely exist and we're gonna project that there's God out there as long as you don't call it infinite you know I mean it's like Krusty the Klown out there is creating our world just don't
