1
00:00:05,829 --> 00:00:03,189
well it feels great to be back

2
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:05,839
thank you so much for sticking by and

3
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:08,400
jointly exploring this discursive path

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:11,200
of consciousness theoretical physics and

5
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:12,960
the philosophy of what fundamental

6
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:15,440
reality even means here's an outline of

7
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:17,199
what to expect from the theories of

8
00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:19,439
everything project the toe channel in

9
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:21,039
the next few months and there are time

10
00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:22,880
stamps included for you to skip around

11
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:25,359
january that is the next two weeks all

12
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:26,560
of this will be done in the next two

13
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:27,519
weeks

14
00:00:31,509 --> 00:00:29,199
we're dedicated thematically to

15
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:31,519
exploring mathematics limiting theorems

16
00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:33,760
and the understanding of free will

17
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:37,440
guests include yoshibok john verveicky

18
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,320
david walpart who by the way has three

19
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:42,160
limiting theorems underneath his belt

20
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:44,239
which is an unmatched feat stefan

21
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:47,039
alexander of the autodidactic universe

22
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:48,640
string theory in the autodidactic

23
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,559
universe which is a machine learning

24
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,640
model of physics whereby the universe

25
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:54,480
generates its own laws or at least

26
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,879
learns them in a manner akin to a

27
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,800
restricted boltzmann machine at least in

28
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:00,640
their first draft of the autodidactic

29
00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:02,239
universe we're also going to be talking

30
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:04,879
to professor norman wildberger on why

31
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:08,000
infinity isn't real and by extension the

32
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:10,159
real numbers aren't necessarily real per

33
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,600
se that is they don't correspond to

34
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:13,680
something physical the reason to explore

35
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:16,240
limiting theorems and no-go theorems is

36
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,840
because many people are constructing

37
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:19,759
their own theory of everything their own

38
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:22,159
toe and they do so

39
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:23,280
with

40
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:28,000
than a humility as they valiantly claim

41
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,400
some fact that trivially violates some

42
00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:32,320
no-go theorem or known limiting theorem

43
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,079
in math and physics without realizing

44
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:36,240
that they are it's helpful to know when

45
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:38,320
one is violating the bounds of what's

46
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:40,400
considered to be possible or what's not

47
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,320
possible and to subsequently show how

48
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:44,240
you found a loophole by not using one of

49
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:45,840
the assumptions that are integral to the

50
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:48,240
no go theorem essentially knowledge of

51
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,840
limiting theorems are useful to both

52
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:52,159
those who are trying to understand toes

53
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:53,520
and those who are trying to construct

54
00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:54,799
their own toll

55
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:56,399
february is a month where we'll be

56
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,119
exploring more of the topic of ufos and

57
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:01,600
consciousness starting with salvatore

58
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:04,240
pis soon i'll make a post soliciting

59
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,560
questions for salvatore as first what i

60
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:08,000
want to do is go through the navy

61
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:09,840
patents with a fine-tooth comb go

62
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,680
through his papers

63
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:13,760
and understand them salvatore has agreed

64
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:16,000
to do two podcasts the first of which

65
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:17,920
will be an introduction to his work and

66
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,160
the second will answer any new or

67
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:22,480
lingering questions that you have after

68
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:24,640
ruminating over the first as well as in

69
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:26,800
february george knapp and colm keller

70
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,879
are coming on for a theolocution they're

71
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,560
going to be discussing skinwalkers at

72
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,400
the pentagon as they've at least

73
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,920
privately disclosed to me that people

74
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:35,120
have barely

75
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:36,959
scraped the surface of that book during

76
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:39,200
other interviews and podcasts also in

77
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:41,200
february frank yang is coming up on

78
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:43,040
consciousness carl fristen on

79
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:44,720
consciousness as well and i can announce

80
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,040
here for the first time that

81
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,680
yoshibok and donald hoffman will be

82
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:51,519
coming on for a theolocution on

83
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:53,360
consciousness as well that's something

84
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,879
we've been trying to schedule we've been

85
00:02:59,030 --> 00:02:57,040
scheduling back and forth for almost a

86
00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:59,040
year and finally it

87
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:00,400
looks like it's going to arrive in the

88
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:02,400
middle of february additionally and this

89
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:04,560
is also in february herb mertz is going

90
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:06,000
to be coming on to speak about the

91
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:08,080
global consciousness project we'll be

92
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:09,280
exploring the connection between

93
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,720
consciousness and

94
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:12,879
randomness which is a peculiar

95
00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:15,440
juxtaposition i'm aware however there's

96
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:18,480
anomalous data with respect to rngs that

97
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:21,360
is random number generators and

98
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:23,680
high valence emotional events such as a

99
00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:25,920
measurable deviation in randomness

100
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,000
during globally fractious events like

101
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:30,000
911. it's a curious fact that these

102
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:32,000
sensors and i'll be speaking in detail

103
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:33,920
about what these sensors are that these

104
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,720
sensors go off sometimes minutes prior

105
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:39,040
to an actual event which indicates that

106
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:41,040
consciousness either interacts backward

107
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:43,680
in time or has some predictive powers

108
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:45,760
still and we're in february i have to

109
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:47,120
read these now we have a highly

110
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:49,840
requested guest a h almas regarding

111
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,000
consciousness as well as gary nolan

112
00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:54,159
regarding the physical evidence of ufo

113
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,799
interactions and noam chomsky

114
00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,480
is coming on for a one-on-one forget

115
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,400
about live forget about ama it's coming

116
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:02,239
on for one on one just about the

117
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,400
philosophy of language and meaning i'm

118
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,319
super super excited about that in

119
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:07,920
particular because i don't know the last

120
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:10,000
time i was able to speak privately to

121
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,319
chomsky starting march i'm going to be

122
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:14,720
placing an emphasis on choosing new

123
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:16,959
professors instead of the

124
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:19,359
standard podcast trope of interviewing

125
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:20,639
the same people

126
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,800
over and over which leads to

127
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,720
invariably to this feedback loop where

128
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,800
the already famous are interviewed on

129
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:29,040
every podcast even right now i'm on the

130
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,800
lookout for new professors with new

131
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:32,560
lines of research professors who don't

132
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,320
have their own channel nor have been

133
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:36,479
interviewed by many people to bring

134
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:39,199
fresh ideas to the fore much like we did

135
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,280
with the michael levin interview which i

136
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:43,600
highly recommend march will also be the

137
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,320
month of exploring rigorous mathematical

138
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,199
unification attempts such as that of

139
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,440
edward frankl and the langlins program

140
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:53,440
as well as kevin knuth has a new

141
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,960
unannounced theory that links

142
00:04:58,629 --> 00:04:56,560
mathematics and physics

143
00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:58,639
and norman wildberger has a new model of

144
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,800
mathematics starting march we're also

145
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:02,400
going to be exploring more quantum

146
00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:04,240
gravity approaches like euclidean

147
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:07,759
gravity and asymptotically safe gravity

148
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,240
the latter of which is the only known

149
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:12,320
quantum gravity approach that has some

150
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:14,720
experimental validation and yet almost

151
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:16,400
no one in the public sphere talks about

152
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:19,039
it and it would be great to help change

153
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:21,199
that there will also be the exploration

154
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:24,320
of data on near-death experiences with

155
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:26,240
dean raiden to be honest from my cursory

156
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,360
glance at this data about 15 years ago

157
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,960
and it lasted about 15 minutes i didn't

158
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:32,639
do much research it seemed like there

159
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,600
was

160
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:35,520
so much data on it that the reports can

161
00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:37,360
be cherry-picked to indicate that

162
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:39,039
consciousness survives after physical

163
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:41,440
death and i've had that inexorable

164
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,320
mindset in me since i was a contamilious

165
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,160
atheist however much of what i thought

166
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,320
to be true turned out to be vastly

167
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:50,639
incorrect and i'd like to explore the

168
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:53,680
veracity of these nde claims rather than

169
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:55,919
rejecting them prior to seriously

170
00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:57,520
looking into them i think it'll be a

171
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:59,680
great deal of fun now for the middle of

172
00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,280
the year i'd like to start putting out

173
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:03,520
more theo locutions i'd like the

174
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:05,280
theories of everything project to be a

175
00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:06,960
place where academics can conduct

176
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:09,280
research and collaborate in front of an

177
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:11,919
audience for example mike 11 and carl

178
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:14,560
fristen will be coming on together

179
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,479
later this year with each fomenting

180
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,319
ideas in the other in a speculative

181
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:20,560
fashion grounded in their research much

182
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:22,000
like what would happen behind the closed

183
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,240
doors of academia except now it will be

184
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,160
in front of you and by the way i use

185
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,840
that term project the theories of

186
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:29,199
everything project

187
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,440
judiciously rather than saying podcast

188
00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,360
because there's a goal in mind with the

189
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,919
toe channel that is decidedly not well

190
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:37,919
let's just have a conversation it's best

191
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:40,240
to think of toe as the project of

192
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,280
explicating the scrupulous mathematical

193
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:45,199
unification attempts

194
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:47,120
first and foremost and secondarily

195
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,880
understanding what consciousness is and

196
00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:50,400
what its constitutive role is to

197
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,560
fundamental reality and thirdly

198
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,400
investigating some of the

199
00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:56,400
mysteries of the universe such as times

200
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,280
arrow

201
00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:59,360
origins of life by the way we're going

202
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:00,639
to be doing that with brian keating and

203
00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,759
lee cronin soon the placebo effect etc

204
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:05,759
hopefully this helps contextualize to

205
00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:08,160
abbreviate the toe project is more akin

206
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:10,080
to dropping into a professor's office

207
00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:12,880
hours than it is a podcast per se and in

208
00:07:17,430 --> 00:07:14,720
fact maybe the podcast format will be

209
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,440
dropped in a year or two i don't know

210
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:19,440
but either way that leads me naturally

211
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,120
to the next point toward the end of the

212
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,280
year we'll be exploring more eastern

213
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:25,440
philosophies since as i've been studying

214
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,720
forto both objectively that is the

215
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:30,960
rational standard academic approach and

216
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:33,360
subjectively that is experientially

217
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:35,599
trying to live what's been preached a

218
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:37,759
meditative a contemplative approach i'm

219
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:39,840
beginning to see the utility and

220
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:42,720
simultaneously this enveloping quality

221
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:44,960
of language finding myself being drawn

222
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:47,440
to that wittgensteinian forsaken ladder

223
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,759
where the whole point of talking is to

224
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:51,440
realize that there's no point in talking

225
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:53,120
to this end i'll be exploring

226
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:55,199
philosophies precipitated by the vedic

227
00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:57,120
traditions and at least attempting

228
00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:59,199
different meditative styles now i call

229
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:00,879
this merging of the western form of

230
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:02,560
knowledge and the eastern

231
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:04,720
abbey gnosis you can think of it as an

232
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:06,720
extension of the scientific enterprise

233
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,800
albeit with an altered epistemology the

234
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:10,160
latter half of the year is also

235
00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:12,000
dedicated to exploring some of the

236
00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:14,160
viewers theories of everything such as

237
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:16,560
tyler goldstein's theory of everyone and

238
00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:19,199
steve agnew's matter action theory each

239
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:20,960
of whom is active in the discord by the

240
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,360
way and the link to both the discord and

241
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:25,039
their work is in the description there

242
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,800
are two more substantial announcements

243
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,639
but first you should know that if you'd

244
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:30,720
like to contribute to the toe channel

245
00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:33,680
then do consider going to patreon.com

246
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:36,800
kurt jaimungle as the patrons and the

247
00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,519
sponsors like brilliant and even amjad

248
00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:41,039
hussein of course

249
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:42,719
are the only reasons i'm able to do this

250
00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:45,200
full time currently it's just me kurt

251
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:46,800
executing on everything from guest

252
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:49,360
selection to guest booking to

253
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:51,040
researching the papers which is

254
00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:52,160
endlessly

255
00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:54,240
fascinating but also time consuming to

256
00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:56,959
time stamping to editing the episodes

257
00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,760
and every dollar genuinely helps much

258
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:01,600
more than you may think now on to the

259
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:03,920
announcements i'm working on a toe

260
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:07,040
manual what i call a tome and i imagine

261
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:08,720
that by the end of the year it will be

262
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:10,959
at a preliminary draft stage it will be

263
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:13,120
a rigorous explication of the tolls that

264
00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:14,800
i've encountered aimed at the graduate

265
00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:16,959
student level or at the sufficiently

266
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:19,120
motivated undergraduate level it takes

267
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,880
quite some time to write even a quarter

268
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:22,880
of a page into this book so if you don't

269
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,360
hear about it for another year then

270
00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:27,600
thank you for your patience the last

271
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:29,519
announcement is to placate those who are

272
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:32,000
more interested in veltan shaoongs that

273
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:33,360
is a framework through which to

274
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:35,200
interpret the world with an ontology

275
00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:37,040
that's consistent with action during one

276
00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:38,800
of the summer months of this year let's

277
00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:40,880
say july i'll dedicate that month to the

278
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:42,640
more cognitive scientific theories of

279
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,480
everything such as that of daniel

280
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:46,800
schmottenberger greg henriques also has

281
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:49,120
a theory of unified knowledge jordan

282
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,080
hall and of course ian mcgilchrist i

283
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,320
hope this compendium was useful to you

284
00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:56,080
and that you now have a clearer

285
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:57,760
understanding of the trajectory thank

286
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,000
you so much i'm glad you seem to be
