Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory · Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav) · 1 Jan 2026 podcast

And so I think it's worth, on that framework, to explore the possibility that there are some insights.

And I would take any of those reports like we take any kind of eyewitness testimony, right?

With a grain of salt.

And you try to get corroboration and discount it.

But on the other hand, you don't want to just ignore the data either, right?

So there's the fine line to be open, to get the insights, but not to –

to jump on anything just because it sort of fits your preconceived conceptions.

Most of our preconceived conceptions are deeply wrong.

We thought the Earth was flat.

We thought the Earth was the center of the universe.

We thought space and time were fundamental.

wrong wrong wrong wrong so so you were batting poorly so so anything that even for if we think that consciousness will survive death what we think about that

The way we think about it is probably wrong.

And so what we have to do is again be – so that's why I'm being – when I say we're in deep waters here and I'm being very, very careful, it's – these are things that my theory – our theory suggests.

But I don't want to be at all doctrinaire.

I think what I should do is make bold proposals.

But they're just proposals.

And the goal is to be precise so we can figure out where the proposals are wrong.

So, yeah.

So in that spirit, yeah, near-death experiences may have some good data about transitions out of this interface in that spirit.
