| 4/5/21 | The Case Against Reality with Donald Hoffman | Join Riz as he talks with Donald Hoffman, professor emeritus at University of California-Irvine,and the author of The Case Against Reality:Why Evolution Hid the Truth From Our Eyes. They discuss his idea of conscious agents, why spacetime is dead, why reality is like being in a virtual headset, and why all three of the fundamental theories our scientists subscribe to - general relativity, quantum mechanics and evolution - all point to the idea that what we think of as "reality" is not really reality. Moreover, Hoffman talks about the limits of scientific theories and why most of our theories are probably wrong. This is a lively discussion you'll not want to miss! | 1h 07m 43s | ||||||
| 2/19/21 | OpenBCI - Brain Computer Interfaces with Joe Artuso | In this episode, Riz talks with Joe Artuso, Director of Marketing at OpenBCI, about the state of the industry when it comes to interfacing computers with your brain. Riz asks Joe about OpenBCI's initiatives to get an open source low cost headset out to the market, and talks about how far away we are from sci fi BCIs, exploring scenarios ranging from the Matrix to Total Recall to Ready Player Two.

| 5/4/20 | Tom Campbell: Simulated Realities, Possible Futures, OBEs & Experiments | Riz talks with the author of My Big TOE about the nature of reality and his experiments to prove we are in a simulation. | 1h 31m 37s | ||||||
| 2/16/20 | Adam Curry: Quantum Randomness, Synchronicity and the Mandela Effect | Riz talks to Adam Curry, former researcher at Princeton's PEAR lab and founder of Entangled, about the intersection of quantum mechanics, consciousness, and how it might be creating a consensus reality. We talk about his experience in building QRNGs (quantum random number generators), possible explanations for synchronicity, the nature of the past and the future, and how all of this relates to the Mandela Effect. Adam describes a number of experiments with confounding results that might reveal something deep about the nature of the universe that science is only beginning to suspect. | 1h 10m 43s | ||||||

| 2/3/20 | Synchronicity and the Holographic Multiverse with Sky Isaacs | Join Riz for a lively discussion with physicist Sky Nelson-Isaacs about his book, Living in Flow. We talk about synchronicity, quantum physics and the branching of reality. We get into quantum weirdness, retroactive event determination, the delayed choice experiment, and the holographic multiverse and holograms in time, concepts that he's developing which could explain how we navigate different realities in what he calls a "responsive universe". You might think you understand the past and the future, but this conversation will make you think again. Visit Sky's website at www.skynelson.com | 58m 37s | ||||||
| 9/3/19 | Philip K Dick, Multiple Timelines and the Matrix with Tessa Dick | Riz explores the work of science fiction legend Philip K. Dick and the Simulation Hypothesis, by interviewing his surviving wife, Tessa B. Dick. In our conversation, we discuss everything from the The Matrix (what would Phil have thought?), multiple timelines, dreams, The Adjustment Bureau, Blade Runner and his belief that we are living inside a computer generated reality. | 1h 29m 30s | ||||||
