Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Donald Hoffman, Cognitive Psychologist and Science Author, has proposed a theory of consciousness that challenges your everyday assumptions about what reality is. His argument is that our perceptions of cause and effect and what we experience in the physical world isn’t as real as you’d like to think. The metaphor of the virtual headset he uses in these conversations with Tom explains why our experiences are limited and there are things like freewill that we never truly experience. If that’s not heavy enough for you, Hoffman bring mathematical equations into the picture to explain that all consciousness is mathematically structured. This episode is a complete crash course into the world of Donald Hoffman and the illusion of space, time and reality. Some areas you’ll hear explored in this episode include: Is Cause and effect real? The God hypothesis and consciousness Why your reality isn’t real The Truth behind consciousness How evolution hides the matrix (and what’s the red pill) Testing reality & spacetime Can you actually escape the matrix? Do you think it’s possible life is a simulation and we’re in some version of a virtual reality headset?

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of cognitive science, AI, and the crisis of meaning with our special guest, philosopher and cognitive scientist John Vervaeke. Join us as we explore the transformative powers of psychedelics, the concept of epistemic vulnerability, and the critical need for the 'Four S's' in psychedelic experiences. We’ll also tackle the implications of the meaning crisis, drawing parallels with historical contexts like the Hellenistic period, and discuss potential solutions through an ecology of practices rooted in ancient wisdom. John shares his insights on AI, the complexity of bias-variance trade-offs, and the inherent challenges of relevance realization. We delve into the nuanced relationship between rationality and intelligence, and how evolutionary principles can inform the development of more insightful AI systems.

Do you believe that starting a business with nothing is possible? The American Dream is typically defined as the idea that the opportunity of achieving your highest aspirations is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Jay Samit, laid out his case and experiment for this very idea in his latest book, Future Proofing You. Glenn Stearns, producer and star of the Discovery show, Undercover Billionaire, put himself to the test with $100, no contacts, no help, and just 90 days to build a million dollar business because he deeply believes the American Dream is still alive and possible. Although the playing field is not equal for everyone in every opportunity, it is still possible. Glenn’s story is shocking and relatable for many because his honesty and vulnerability shows that attitude and belief are still king in how you decide to live your life and make moves.  [Original air date: 7-27-21].

What utility do your beliefs have in your everyday life? From the way you decide on political issues to the way you tune out dissenting views, and decide against conversations with certain people every choice is backed by some belief in what you consider to be right.

In today's episode of Impact Theory, host Tom Bilyeu delves deep into the intricate world of modern relationships, societal expectations, and personal growth with guest Sadia Khan. Together, they explore the complexities of attraction and success, shedding light on how physical allure and ambition shape romantic dynamics. Sadia shares her preferences for driven, accomplished men, linking laziness to missed opportunities, while Tom reflects on his transformative journey motivated by his commitment to his wife, Lisa. Khan's perspective on pay disparities and societal norms, particularly in places like Dubai versus the UK, provides a thought-provoking angle on cultural and economic biases. The conversation takes a candid turn as they discuss the motivational power of admiration, the impact of materialism on relationships, and the unrealistic expectations fueled by social media. This episode also navigates the often contentious waters of sexual dynamics, examining the role of mutual attraction, the evolving landscape of hypergamy, and the pitfalls of transactional relationships. Both speakers emphasize the importance of self-improvement, setting boundaries, and finding partners who respect and value genuine connections over superficial traits. SHOWNOTES Intimacy vs. delusion in age-gap relationships. Avoid pornography; it impacts erectile dysfunction negatively. Submit to someone who sees and supports you. Emotional safety, lifelong desire, shared investment. Men confuse desire for intimacy with sex. Money devalues, causing higher prices and inequality. Women perceive each other as threats, not men. Grateful but cautious due to potential offense. Truth isn't offended by reality; delusion is.

Whether you believe that humans and other species have evolved or you believe in a creator of living things, this episode is going to excite you or challenge you to think outside the box. Both scenarios are worthwhile, as Tom is joined by the world renowned evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins. Trying to fully grasp how the human mind works and what role evolution plays with our emotions, thought processes and sexual selection can be overwhelming. Tom highlights the inspiring works from Richard and discusses some complex ideas from his latest book, Books Do Furnish A Life. This is a deep dive into what evolution is, and raises the question of whether or not science, technology, and the human search for meaning and exploration has surpassed our basic evolutionary need for survival.

What is reality? What is the nature of consciousness? How do we know that what we are experiencing is base reality and not a simulation? These may seem like the kind of questions that you’d associate with modern concepts like The Matrix and simulation theory, but the fact is that every ancient philosophical tradition has wrestled with these problems in some form or another. And with the advent of rich, complex VR worlds and the nascent metaverse, even more philosophers are turning toward these deep questions of consciousness and the human experience. One of the most interesting thinkers in this space is David Chalmers, Professor of Philosophy and Neural Science at New York University, and co-director of the Center for Mind, Brain, and Consciousness. In his latest book, Reality+: virtual worlds and the problems of philosophy, David investigates not only the nature of reality, but how we should conceptualize virtual reality, the idea that we can actually live a meaningful life in VR, how we know there’s an external world, and much more. We explore these topics and more in today’s wide-ranging conversation, covering everything from the hard problem of consciousness to the probability that we’re actually living in a computer simulation. You don’t have to be a student of philosophy to enjoy today’s conversation - especially if you’re as excited as I am about the possibilities being unlocked by virtual reality and the metaverse.

So you want to be wealthy and financially free in 3 years? It’s not an impossible dream, stranger things have happened, but there are a few things to consider and today’s episode is food for thought on if you know the money game well enough to build your wealth and get rich in 3 years. Tom is giving a masterclass on all the things he’s learned from building multiple multi-million dollar businesses over the years. He isn’t someone that’s rich because he came from a wealthy family. Tom is the successful entrepreneur he is because he took some hard lumps from life alone the way of figuring out that digging in his sofa for enough change to put gas in his car wasn’t the way he wanted to live. In this episode Tom is joined by David, Noelle, and George, answering their questions about what it takes to build the kind of wealth most of us believe would be amazing. Tom doesn’t claim to be a money expert, but does say with confidence that he’s learned to get very good at making money. The key to getting rich he’s learned is understanding that this is a money game, and you can’t win the game until you learn the rules. So, when you say you want to be rich or you think about how awesome it would be to actually start building the kind of wealth that changes the way your future grandchildren will live, make sure you become a “die hard executor” and know your risk tolerance.

Many of us can admit to loving a good underdog story. You want to see the main character go through their perilous journey and come out on the other side victorious after the big battle or challenge that was seemingly impossible. When that story is real life, it causes you to pause and take inventory of your own story. What situation are you facing, how is your current situation in comparison to the underdog you just cheered for? Sometimes those questions can really sting, especially if you feel like or can see proof that you are not living up to your full potential.

Bad news, chances are it’s not going away and if you’ve been avoiding this conversation, it needs to end today. Cryptocurrency is the fastest growing technology we’ve ever witnessed in human history. 10 years ago people doubted it, laughed at it, and blew it off. Today, countries like Nigeria, Vietnam and the Philippines are starting to adopt crypto. What is often rejected and feared is typically not understood. While billionaires and master investors once turned their backs to Bitcoin and the crypto world, they are slowly coming around and see the potential of what this currency and technology really is. Anthony Pompliano joins Tom to put you on notice and help you better understand exactly why low income and middle class people literally cannot afford to continue dismissing the potential for building wealth with cryptocurrency. Blockchain is happening and there is a major shift in wealth and purchasing power taking place. You owe it to yourself and to your future generations to at least do some more research, investigate and find out how you can better leverage the potential that a new digital world represents for you. The cost of entry is low, it’s decentralized, and for the first time you are not restricted by your income to take advantage. [Original air date: 9-14-21].

We may have unintentionally swung the pendulum on women’s rights and equality in a way that is creating unforeseen consequences for men and boys. We’re talking about male inequality and sorting through some of the biggest contributing factors affecting fathers, sons, husbands, and boyfriends. The mounting data is telling a story of women being able to live well without the need for men and in the absence of a well defined male role in our modern society, men are on the decline. Males are struggling with education, agency, purpose, and seeing higher numbers of suicide. Richard Reeves joins Tom Bilyeu to highlight some key points that we as a society must take into consideration as we decide how to move forward. Richard was named one of the top 50 thinkers in the US for his work on class and inequality. He’s also the author of the book, Of Boys and Men. Disturbing factors Richard is underlining in this conversation includes: Women no longer need marriage to survive and marriage is proving to be more important to men than women Deinstitutionalization of masculinity in a cultural problem Biology, culture, and the individual thrive together and not apart from one another Check out Richard Reeves book, Of Boys and Men: https://www.amazon.com/Boys-Men-Modern-Struggling-Matters/dp/0815739877 [Original air date: 5-11-23].

Nobody is successful in life without overcoming failure and adversity several times along the way. We’re revisiting some of the most compelling interviews ever on Impact Theory in this mashup. Tai Lopez, Jay Williams, David Bayer, and Tim Grover have got heavy-duty stories about not quitting, what you need to do if you find yourself in a hole, and how you can pivot to a better life. Tai Lopez is an entrepreneur, author, investor, motivational speaker, crypto philanthropist, and creator of The 67 Steps Program. By age 21, Jay Williams had achieved his dreams of playing in the NBA and becoming wealthy. But before his second season, he suffered a horrific motorcycle accident that led to 10 surgeries, months in the ICU, and doubts that he would walk again. It took him years to heal, but he eventually clawed his way out of the darkness to become a popular NBA analyst. David Bayer built a series of highly successful internet ventures but paid a price, battling long-term drug addiction and alcoholism. He eventually recovered and embraced a new addiction…personal evolution. Tim Grover is an iconic peak performance and mental toughness trainer who has coached hundreds of athletes, including Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. [Original air date: 8-11-22].

Welcome to a special edition of Impact Theory! Today, we're breaking down the 2024 Presidential Debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. In the world of politics, beliefs and values often blur into a haze of rhetoric and promises, leaving us questioning the very fabric of truth and reality. This is particularly evident in the latest 2024 presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, where the nature of political beliefs, values, and the narrative manipulation game takes center stage. Today, we delve deep into these complex themes, dissecting their debate performances and exploring the broader implications for America's future. We'll unravel the essence of politics as a frame-controlling exercise, delve into the influence of the military-industrial complex and money, and scrutinize the candidates' policies—especially around economic issues and debt. Join me as we navigate through these murky waters, drawing insights from history, economics, and human psychology. This is a conversation about far more than just who won the debate or who made the best points; it's about understanding the underlying beliefs driving these political figures and the potential long-term impacts of their policies. With that in mind, buckle up for a no-holds-barred exploration of the 2024 Presidential Debate Reaction: Trump vs. Harris. SHOWNOTES 00:00 Need proof of values beyond mere statements. 05:14 Trump's unpredictable, emotional speeches shocked the system. 09:05 Talking points enable followers, capitalism's decline imminent. 12:12 Lack of world wars prevents historical awareness, innovation. 14:33 Innovation fosters expression and survival against nature's challenges. 16:19 Economic shifts, pursuit of excellence, societal attitudes shift. 21:34 Balancing regulations prevents corporate and governmental tyranny. 24:35 Disagreeing policy assumptions alter innovation potential 26:35 Equal outcomes require force; unrealistic due to differences. 29:58 Now is the time for significant conflicts. 34:19 Trump's decisions driven by gut, lacks preparation. 37:37 Hope to return to optimistic American values. 39:18 Credibility issues require grounded, calm, factual explanations.

Welcome to another riveting episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's thought-provoking discussion, we dive deep with investigative journalist Whitney Webb. Whitney raises serious concerns about the intricate ties between environmental organizations and Wall Street powerhouses, unveiling potential exploitations like debt-for-nature swaps which may camouflage financial gains as altruistic acts. We'll trace the threads of financial criminality, exposing the murky nexus between organized crime, intelligence agencies, and major financial institutions, dating back to the post-World War II era. You'll hear about the undercurrents of power influencing our government and economic systems, with a critical look at entities like Blackrock and their profound influence over fiscal policies. Whitney discusses the shadowy workings of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful network, revealing a tangled web of criminal activities and elite manipulation. Their dialogue doesn't shy away from predicting future crises engineered by the elite or from challenging mainstream narratives, calling instead for greater individual and community resilience. The episode extends into the realms of AI, digital IDs, and tokenization of natural resources, warning of a potential new form of economic subjugation. Whitney advocates for vigilance, self-reliance, and local community organization as antidotes to the increasing centralization of power. Get ready for a conversation packed with eye-opening revelations and practical advice on how to navigate the complexities of our modern world.

Gender roles and equality continue to be a hot topic of discussion. As women make progress in the workplace, gender pay gaps improve, educational opportunities are getting better as women break glass ceilings. Every action has a reaction and now we’re starting to see unintended problems arise for men. There is a mating crisis stemming from the masculinity crisis that has men and women questioning what it means to be a man. Chris Williamson is a podcaster, YouTuber, and former professional party boy. His podcast Modern Wisdom is the inside journey of him learning out loud from some of the most interesting people on the planet. He’s working on his first book about the mating crisis and joining Tom in this thought provoking conversation about masculinity that doesn’t diminish femininity. With women outperforming men in education and earning more than men in 2023 while also being the gatekeepers of sex men are turning to porn and video games, while women struggle to find male partners that complement their success. Chris is very clear that this important conversation is not about putting the breaks of women, but rather solving how to put the gas on men to become worthy partners that add value, protect and preserve his relationship and family.
