Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. If you’d like to support this endeavor, then please visit the Patreon ( https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal ). Thank you for your charitable and kindhearted support. My name’s Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we’re increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.

Is Earth being monitored by an advanced civilization one million years ahead of us? And does this alien civilization actually share an ancient past with humanity? Economist Robin Hanson explores a provocative theory suggesting that highly evolved extraterrestrials may be subtly observing us—either as caretakers or as part of a long-running experiment. From there, the conversation delves into the intricacies of academic funding and the peer review process.

I'm back, baby. I've been away traveling for podcasts and am excited to bring you new ones with Michael Levin, William Hahn, Robin Hanson, and Emily Riehl, coming up shortly. They're already recorded. I've been recovering from a terrible flu but pushed through it to bring you today's episode with Urs Schreiber. This one is quite mind-blowing. It's quite hairy mathematics, something called higher category theory, and how using this math (which examines the structure of structure) allows one manner of finding "something" from "nothing." Here, "nothing" means the empty set, and "something" is defined as fermions and even 11D supergravity. It's the first time this material has been presented in this manner. Enjoy.

Join Curt Jaimungal as he welcomes Harvard physicist Jacob Barandes, who claims quantum mechanics can be reformulated without wave functions, alongside computer scientist Scott Aaronson. Barandes’ “indivisible” approach challenges the standard Schrödinger model, and Aaronson offers a healthy dose of skepticism in today's theolocution. Are we on the cusp of a radical rewrite of reality—or just rebranding the same quantum puzzles?

Andrés Gómez Emilsson, director of the Qualia Research Institute and a pioneering researcher in the mathematical study of consciousness, explores the nature of awareness from both philosophical and scientific angles. He recounts his journey that led to founding the Qualia Research Institute—aimed at reducing suffering and enhancing experience. He discusses the transformative potential of psychedelics, the view of the self as a series of experiences, and how sensory resonance ("impedance matching") shapes our awareness.

David Bentley Hart is a renowned author, philosopher, religious studies scholar, and theologian. In today's episode David explores the problem of evil, labeling it the most compelling argument against theism due to the undeniable suffering of innocents. David candidly acknowledges the dilemma, finding it intellectually irresolvable, yet juxtaposes this with the profound hope and transformative significance of Christ’s resurrection. Drawing on Stoic metaphysics, David explores the concept of a spiritual body and its philosophical ties to early Christian thought, all while challenging conventional Trinitarian interpretations of texts like John 1:1. This conversation is a rich tapestry of theology, philosophy, and personal insight, inviting listeners to reconsider foundational beliefs about faith, suffering, and the nature of reality.

In today’s episode of Theories of Everything, Curt Jaimungal is joined by renowned physicists Peter Woit and Joseph Conlon to delve into the complexities of String Theory. Together, they explore its potential as a unified framework for understanding the fundamental forces of the universe, discussing both its strengths and the criticisms it faces. Peter Woit is a renowned mathematical physicist and outspoken critic of string theory, and Joseph Conlon is a distinguished theoretical physicist and strong proponent of string theory.
NOTE: The video of Brian Greene in the introduction was intended to serve as a visual representation related to string theory as a general subject. It wasn’t meant to imply his support or opposition to string theory without understanding the details of it. I love Brian Greene. I even spoke to him here for the podcast. https://youtu.be/O2EtTE9Czzo. - Curt

In today's episode of Theories of Everything, Curt Jaimungal speaks with Matthew Segall, a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, on the evolution of philosophical thought, linking ancient teachings on consciousness to modern scientific perspectives. We delve into the limitations of contemporary views of reality, paralleling them with the Ptolemaic model, and explore how an awareness of mortality can enrich our understanding of existence. Matthew argues for a shift toward introspection and self-inquiry in a society grappling with existential challenges, emphasizing that confronting mortality can foster a deeper sense of meaning in our lives.

A popular YouTuber (Fidias https://www.youtube.com/@FidiasPanayiotou w/ over 2.5M subs) just received the Guinness Record for "longest time spent consecutively in VR". Congrats to him! https://youtu.be/cUmZywem8VE
It was a 30 day straight experiment. I don't know how he did it. On his last hour, he interviewed me for his channel. It was an honor, not only to be included in such a challenge, but to be the last activity he did prior to removing his VR! Enjoy this episode where Fidias interviewed me for his channel.

- Technically it was George S. Trimble who started the RIAS. Witten’s supervisor was someone named Welcome Bender. I had this in the original script but it was becoming extortionately bloated with various names, and since Trimble was the CEO of Glenn Martin, I decided to phrase it the way I did in the script.

0:00 Introduction
0:35 Hoffman's thought on the state of the country during COVID and what it entails about his theories
2:51 Why he meditates for 3 hours daily, and what type of practice it is
7:26 Hoffman's diet and health habits
9:52 On computational psychology (Hoffman's initial background)
13:05 Outlining (technically) the conscious agent model, and the motive force behind the lettering
16:41 Consciousness as primary to Being, as the impediment for rationalists

38:44 Nima Armani Hamed's amplituhedron, and consciousness
40:23 Local hidden variables / realism may be saved, via loopholes in Bell's theorem
47:46 The assumption of uniform probability of fitness functions on cyclic groups, etc. is a problem for a theory that says our perceptions are non-veridical (ie. that they don't match "reality")
1:01:44 Evolution entails that we don't see the truth / reality as it is
1:05:10 On the over simplification of evolutionary models (outputting down to the Real Line of dimension 1 without further structure)
1:09:17 The intensity of meditation, and fear of letting go / fear of the unknown
1:15:25 "Illusions are failures to guide adaptive behavior."
1:16:41 The various philosophical theories on truth (correspondence, pragmatic, deflationary, etc.)
1:27:20 Spacetime as a data compression tool for conscious agents
1:32:39 On the nature of causality

2:28:38 Gödel's incompleteness theorem's implications for Hoffman's model
2:34:35 John Vervaeke's other forms of knowledge which aren't "propositional"
2:37:45 Landauer's limit (fastidious critiques)
2:41:29 On the moon not existing when you don't look at it
2:48:06 Do you see the same color red that I see? (and other experiences / qualia)

00:06:55 Skeptic vs. Debunker (Mick... which are you?)
00:09:32 Salutary role of skepticism and Eric's thoughts on Mick
00:14:53 The "woo" that's concomitant with UFO research
00:19:00 UFO research isn't a "hobby"
00:23:34 Mick's "agenda" (or non-agenda)
00:25:19 There's no convincing data on UFOs available to the public
00:30:58 The "superposition" argument: Exotic explanations that Mick entertains
00:35:03 Where is the evidence?
00:36:28 Outlying data points matter
00:40:07 Some debunkers stifle the UFO community, but not all debunkers
00:43:34 What's the disagreement between Eric and Mick
00:45:50 Mick has changed his mind about UFOs
00:50:38 CE5 and invitations to Skin Walker (would Mick / Eric go?)

01:30:58 What terrene explanations are left?
01:41:26 Eric's "sighting" in 1988...
01:44:57 The Skin Walker TV show doesn't help the stigma
01:46:30 Does Brandon have any high quality data points he's not releasing?
01:47:45 Opinions on Bob Lazar
01:48:52 The opprobrium because of stigma is too much. Most can't handle it.

01:58:46 Defending claims made without physical evidence

00:00:00 Introduction
00:04:05 What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapy?
00:08:12 Suffering is a part of life
00:11:06 ACT is not just for therapy, but for general illness and rejection
00:14:24 Lilian's feeling anxiety in this interview *right now*, but ACT is helping
00:15:57 Dealing with panic attacks
00:18:22 "Anxiety" and "excitement" are physiologically indistinguishable
00:20:00 Implementing ACT (specific example)
00:26:15 Stop avoiding. The mind works by addition (not subtraction)!
00:30:00 Choosing courage vs. "mustering" courage
00:30:51 Coping vs. mollifying
00:33:45 Goal oriented vs. Value oriented
00:36:06 How to uncover your own values?
00:42:14 Do values imply a "should"? (specific example)
00:47:45 What separates those for whom therapy works for, from those who it doesn't?
00:54:57 Suicidal ideation / psychosis (there's hope with ACT)
00:57:14 Enhancing learning math / physics
00:59:50 Acceptance vs Acknowledgement
01:01:40 Physical vs Psychology (mind and body connection)
01:05:53 A visual example you can employ to abate anxiety
01:10:39 The role of belief / hope / faith / trust
01:11:08 "Thanking" the negative thought / emotion
01:11:50 People don't suffer with just ONE issue, but multiple

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00:00 Introduction
00:04:16 Overview of Superdeterminism
00:08:31 Bernardo's agreements / disagreements
00:13:15 It's more promising to violate statistical independence (SI)
00:15:59 What are the hidden variables in Superdeterminism?
00:18:20 What is statistical independence? Is it a mere assumption?
00:22:41 People claim Superdeterminism isn't falsifiable, but is it?
00:31:17 Back and forth criticism and justification of proposed experiments
00:38:35 Does experiment change the outcome of what's measured?
00:41:37 Contrarian views -- should they be put forward tentatively?
00:44:57 Decoherence and the observer
00:49:22 The observer (and consciousness) is irrelevant in quantum mechanics
00:52:37 Why oppose violating statistical independence (SI)?
00:54:57 Metaphysics? Or simply trying to solve the measurement problem?
00:55:57 We don't have a good reason to depart with SI
00:59:10 Holding Sabine to higher standards than John Bell?
01:01:31 [gastronic] What is the definition of measurement / What does it mean to "look at"?

Paul Vanderklay is a minister in the Christian Reformed Church of North America. In this conversation we talk about Jordan Peterson's / John Vervaeke's / Jonathan Pageau's and Sam Harris' influence on "new Christianity."
This wasn't going to be releaseed because Paul Vanderklay and I had our schedule's jumbled; meaning, I had simultaneous people vying for my attention due to double-booking meetings and as a result, am not as present as I would have liked to be. However, due to a few requests I'm releasing and hopefully you enjoy, since Peter does a superlative job in my absence (despite the issues with the sound quality). If you'd like Part 2 with Paul Vanderklay, let me know and leave your questions for him below. - Curt Jaimungal

These interviews can be extremely technically dense at times but I'm not willing to sacrifice depth, nor my personal engrossment, for views.
The latter half of this video is primarily for posterity and I think you'll find it intriguiging only if you care about the history of physics around the time of Einstein, Dirac, and Feynman, which is why I put the answers to the more contemporary questions up front. John Moffat is an 88 year old luminary, which means there's a tendency to drone / ramble, since he doesn't perform much public speaking. But the content is there. Enjoy. - Curt

Today's episode is eminently different as we have a self-proclaimed Marxist to chat with. Douglas Lain runs the Zer0 Books YouTube channel (linked here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyoQK-mZXr2ws4C0nXGCH1w) and is an accomplished writer.
This episode is distinguished by its sublimation from "interview" ⇒ "conversation" ⇒ "friendly debate", where I (Curt Jaimungal) took a backseat in the arena of Douglas Lain and my colleague Peter Glinos. If you'd like a Part 2, let me know.
