Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. If you'd like to support this endeavor, then please visit the Patreon ( https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal ). Thank you for your charitable and kindhearted support. My name's Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we're increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.

Fascinating
To listen to this podcast and also to read the critical reviews. Materialism is having a bad season for good reason - the “hard problem” work arounds are not so stable.
One of the best podcasts and hosts to do it.
Anyone who genuinely does not like this podcast is simply a hater. Curt has one of the most thoughtful, intellectually competent podcasts being made right now. He never tries to dominate a conversation, letting his guests grace us with their expertise. If you don’t enjoy technical conversation that goes deeper into subjects than most then this may not be the show for you. However, if your intellectual curiosity is insatiable, this is a must listen!
