3 Body Problems

SPOILER ALERT!!! We talk about many storylines and plot points in the first season Netflix's adaptation of the 3 Body Problem series.
Our aim for this episode is to discuss the "problems" brought up in this show so that we can address possible "solutions" in the following episode.
What is the actual 3 Body Problem?
Simulation Theory
Fermi Paradox
The problem of lying
Hive mind
Nano Tech
What would you do in Will’s position (would you be a brain in a box)?
