Reading Reality: Myth, Time, and the Simulation Hypothesis with LD Deutsch

Sep 5, 2025

Laura Deutsch, author of "Time, Myth and Matter," dives deep into the realms of consciousness, mythology, and technology. She explores how myth and physics uniquely interpret reality and highlights the intriguing parallels between the I Ching and binary code. Discussing the Simulation Hypothesis, Deutsch suggests it resembles a creation myth more than scientific theory. She also tackles the paradoxes of time—eternalism versus presentism—and examines the significance of synchronicity in shaping our understanding of existence.

INSIGHT

Physics And Myth Read The Same World

Physics reads the external structure of reality while mythology reads the internal one.
Laura Deutsch argues both may spring from the same deeper organizational principles.

ANECDOTE

Leibniz And The I Ching Encounter

Leibniz encountered the I Ching while developing binary arithmetic and referenced it in his paper.
Deutsch highlights this synchronicity as a striking tie between ancient divination and modern computing.

INSIGHT

Simulation Hypothesis As Modern Creation Myth

The simulation hypothesis functions like a contemporary creation myth rather than a strict scientific theory.
Deutsch frames creation myths as necessary cultural structures that evolve with available technology.

In this episode, Jay sits down with author of Time, Myth and Matter, LD Deutsch, for a wide-ranging conversation about time, myth, consciousness, and the instability of reality itself. LD Deutsch shares her journey from precognitive dreams to the cutting edge of consciousness studies, weaving together threads of Jungian psychology, mythology, physics, and technology.

Together, they explore:

How myth and physics act as complementary ways of “reading” reality.
The strange synchronicity between the I Ching and the birth of binary code.
Why the Simulation Hypothesis functions more like a creation myth than a scientific theory.
The paradox of time—eternalism versus presentism—and what it means for precognition.
The role of synchronicity, archetypes, and trickster phenomena at the boundaries of the unknown.

LD Deutsch’s insights point to a deeper, underlying order where psyche and matter are inseparably linked—and where the stories we tell become the architectures of reality itself.
