The youngest son of legendary Beatles co-founder John Lennon, musician Sean Ono Lennon, has taken to the X platform to share his views on the nature of consciousness and reality in general with his army of followers.
His view of these fundamental questions does not entirely coincide with Elon Musk’s popular claim that reality is a computer simulation.

Lennon stated that humanity has always defined consciousness based on the level of its technological development. The metaphors of consciousness he mentioned were “stream of thought” and “chain of thought.” Joking descriptions followed, such as “I’m crashing” and “I have no bandwidth right now.”
In conclusion, Lennon cited the popular belief, frequently discussed by influential technology entrepreneur Elon Musk, that reality is a computer simulation.
However, Lennon did not mention Elon Musk; He questioned this metaphorical definition of reality, emphasizing that it sounds more like “describing the ultimate mystery with modern technology as we have been doing for centuries.”
The musician concluded his tweet by saying that whoever claims that humanity lives in a computer simulation is probably using “flashy modern words” and has no idea what they are talking about.
