Living in a simulation

I help organisations increase their value by making them future-fit. #Mindcandy scenario prompts are part of that. They are designed to stretch your imagination, sharpen situational awareness, and spark opportunity thinking. Find out more here.

Scenario prompt 22 September 2025

The future is no longer something you prepare for—it’s something you train for. Today’s #Mindcandy scenario prompts cover:

  • Augmented natural intelligence
  • AI generated life
  • Gut feelings’ as memories from the future
  • Consciousness
  • The metaverse
  • Quantum entanglement
  • Data centres in space
  • Innovators under 35
  • Human imagination and originality

Two of these prompts hint at the idea of living in a simulation. But this is not about simulation theory. It’s about something more practical — the convergence of AI, AR, VR, and mixed reality into immersive technologies that will reshape every business model.

The real question for you as a CEO: What mixed reality layers can you add to your products, services, and customer experience as these technologies move toward their ultimate conclusion?
