Episode notes

INSIGHT

Reality As Computed Information

Reality is an information-based virtual reality computed by consciousness rather than matter.
Consciousness configures parts of itself into computers to render our shared physical simulation.

INSIGHT

Evolution Through Lowering Entropy

Conscious systems evolve by lowering entropy, which in social systems means cooperation and caring.
Campbell calls this growth path 'the love path' contrasted with fear-driven self-centeredness.

ADVICE

Develop Intuition And Intellect Together

Hone both your intellectual and intuitive faculties so they work as a team rather than competing.
Practice and reduce noise to make intuition as reliable or more reliable than intellect.
