Yeah, consciousness is fundamental to an information processing system.

So instead of building up to, like what physicists, what people try to do is build up to consciousness from dead atoms, protons, and neutrons, right?

How do you get to consciousness from that?

But if you think of this as like a computational cloud of ones and zeros and mass does equal information, well, that just means that our consciousness is a way to interface and give this simulation meaning.

And funny enough, that theory...

really reconciles well with shit like parapsychology and like Rupert Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance, like when you solve one problem in one part of the world and then somebody breaks a world record in this country and then a year later five other people hit that same world record.

It's like conserving energy, the processing system conserving energy.

You could have a great conversation.

Yeah, if I had a dollar for every person who said they wouldn't come on my podcast because it's too pseudoscientific, I would have like five dollars.

Why not come on and illuminate people?

I don't want to say who she is, but this lady who had this amazing book on the Greek weapons and poisons that they used to use for war.

They used to light pigs on fire and send them towards elephants to try to get the elephants to run away and throw bags of scorpions on people.

I'm like, this fucking book is amazing.

I need to get this lady.

We're not academic enough, I guess, but I'm trying to get there.

You do a great job of like having both sides in, which I think is really cool.

Like you have like the crazy fringe people who are like educated, self-educated, but are very smart in a certain way.

And then other people who like have the academic credentials to sort of like –
