🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Beyond the Invisible: Consciousness, Free Will & the Lie of AI Federico Faggin, the man who designed the world’s first microprocessor, says AI doesn’t understand a word it tells you. A physicist, inventor and entrepreneur, he built the Intel 4004, then in 1990 had a spiritual awakening that overturned his materialist worldview. His new book “Beyond the Invisible” is out today, and in this conversation, we dig into quantum physics and free will, take on Yuval Noah Harari and ״Scientism”, and explore what he calls the biggest lie ever told about who we are. We discuss: ⚡ Spiritual awakening
 ⚡ The hard problem of consciousness ⚡ Quantum physics & free will/agency
 ⚡ Symbols vs meaning in AI
 ⚡ Debunking Yuval Noah Harari
 ⚡ Evolution beyond Darwinism
 ⚡ Scientism as religion
 ⚡ AI & the war on human freedom
 ⚡ Love as coherent gravity
 ⚡ The lie of “survival of the fittest” Tune in now, and let me know what you thought in the comments! 🎧 Links below! 🙏 Thanks to our sponsors @npub1deqd...4l4x, @npub1cnlr...49w3, Ledn & Trezor.

Hi Heiunter, I saw you take bitcoin tips. I run Bitcoin Tip Jar, which turns your Lightning address into a tip page with a few amounts to tap. Nobody’s stuck choosing, and people tip more when they have options. The sats still go straight to your wallet. Want one for Heinz? I’ll set it up and send you the first tip myself.
