In this episode of AGE BETTER, I sit down with Dr. Mike Studer—one of the world's leading neuroplasticity experts and author of The Brain That Chooses Itself—to talk about something every woman in midlife needs to hear: your brain is far more adaptable than you've ever been told.  We dig into what it really means to “choose” your health, why personal values amplify every wellness practice, and how the science of dopamine and reward pathways shapes the decisions we make every single day. Mike breaks down the overwhelming flood of health information we're all navigating and shares how to cut through the noise by grounding your choices in what matters most to you.  This is a conversation about clarity, empowerment, and understanding the brain science behind everyday decisions—so you can age better, starting now.  Takeaways  We are inundated with health and wellness information—and it's not always helpful.  Understanding choice is foundational to effective healthcare.  Personal beliefs and values amplify the impact of health practices.  Dopamine plays a powerful role in decision-making and motivation.  The brain's reward pathways guide our habits more than we realize.  Clear values help cut through information overload.  Scientific principles can strengthen your health decisions.  Effective healthcare begins with aligning choices to your priorities.  Health regulations and recommendations can be overwhelming—so knowing your values matters.  Prioritizing choice and values leads to more meaningful, sustainable wellness.  Links & Resources  Dr. Mike Studer's Book – The Brain That Chooses Itself  Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack – Subscribe for weekly science-backed tips  Email your questions or comments: agebetterpodcast@gmail.com  Watch full episodes on the Age Better YouTube channel  Learn more about your ad choices.

7/8. The Western Safari, Sheridan's Irony, and the Scientific Ignorance Driving the Wolf Slaughter — Dan Flores— The mid-nineteenth-century American West became a safari destination for wealthy European nobility who engaged in serial, unjustified massacres of wildlife, meticulously recording kill counts as trophy tallies. Flores documents a historical irony: General Philip Sheridan, traditionally maligned as a villain, actually protested the systematic buffaloslaughter and subsequently protected Yellowstone fauna. Flores emphasizes that wolves were poisoned ubiquitously throughout this period due to unscientific Old World superstitions and profound ecological ignorance, reflecting medieval prejudices rather than empirical understanding of predator-prey dynamics and ecosystem function.

In this episode, Mark talks with Cynthia Passmore, who is a professor of science education at the University of California, Davis. They talk about the differences between the approach to modeling developed at ASU and UC Davis, which seem to be more and more similar as time goes by. They talk about how all of our understanding in scientific study is based on models, even if we do not specifically hold those up as "models" per se. We use mental models to explain the world around us and to better understand how and why certain interactions happen the way they do. They talk about modeling instruction and the Next Generation Science Standards and how modeling really gets students to do the thinking as scientists and make the connections between what we see and the explanations for what we see. They talk about Cynthia's new book, even get to talk about some of Cynthia's recent research on effective teaching using modeling methods in the high school biology classroom. Guest Cynthia Passmore Cynthia Passmore is currently a Professor specializing in science education in the University of California, Davis School of Education. She did her doctoral work at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and prior to that she was a high school science teacher. Her research focuses on the role of models and modeling in student learning, curriculum design and teacher professional development. She investigates model-based reasoning in a range of contexts and is particularly interested in understanding how the design of learning environments interacts with students' reasoning practices. She has been the principal investigator of several large grants and is the lead on a collaborative curriculum design project that has created a full-year high school biology course. A key practitioner publication is the edited volume: Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices from NSTA Press. Highlights [2:44] Cynthia "I think the inclusion of modeling as a practice in the next generation Science standards has also brought a lot more people to the work of modeling than used to be the case." [3:25] Cynthia "Models are the functional unit of scientific thought." [7:51] Cynthia "The depiction is important. I'm not trying to say it's not, but if all we're doing is asking kids to reproduce representations and depictions of things, then we're losing the modeling practice, in my view."

Stein’s Assessment So Far Now it’s Gordon Stein’s turn to assess the debate so far. With Stein’s assessment he believes that Bahnsen hasn’t offered anything other than feelings based arguments and non sequiturs. He doesn’t feel the need to offer an explanation for why the universe exists and he sees laws of science, logic, and math only as agreed upon by consensus items. Why? What’s wrong with that?

Today, we'll be tackling the future of prostate cancer care. We'll be reflecting on what prostate cancer care means in practice, how the way we think about the disease is shifting, and must continue to shift in the years ahead. Scientific advances have transformed treatment in recent years, yet the lived reality of prostate cancer still extends far beyond the clinic. The disease reshapes daily life, and may leave men and their families grappling with difficult choices about how best to manage it.  Dr. Güneş Taylor is joined by three key voices at the centre of this story, following the prostate cancer journey from diagnosis through to long-term management, and asking how patients and clinicians can work together to re-think what patient-centred care could mean in the years to come.

After a long hiatus where we both saw grief counsellors over our fight about Popper's theory of content in the last C&R episode, we are back. And we're ready to play nice ... for about 30 seconds until Vaden admits that two sentences from Popper changed his mind about something Ben had arguing for literally years. But eventually putting those disagreements aside, we return to the subject at hand: The Conjectures and Refutations Series: Chapter 10: Truth, Rationality, and the Growth of Scientific Knowledge (Part II). Here all goes smoothly. Just kidding, we start fighting about content again almost immediately. Where are the guests to break us up when you need them. We discuss Why Vaden changed his mind about "all thought is problem solving" Something that rhymes with wero horship Is Popper sloppy when it comes to writing about probability and content Is all modern data science based on the wrong idea? (Hint: No) Popper's problem-focused view of scientific progress How much formalization is too much? The difference between high verisimilitude and high probability Why do we value simplicity in science? Historical examples of science progressing via theories with increasing content Quotes Consciousness, world 2, was presumably an evaluating and discerning consciousness, a problem-solving consciousness, right from the start. I have said of the animate part of the physical world 1 that all organisms are problem solvers. My basic assumption regarding world 2 is that this problem-solving activity of the animate part of world 1 resulted in the emergence of world 2, of the world of consciousness. But I do not mean by this that consciousness solves problems all the time, as I asserted of the organisms. On the contrary. The organisms are preoccupied with problem-solving day in, day out, but consciousness is not only concerned with the solving of problems, although that is its most important biological function. My hypothesis is that the original task of consciousness was to anticipate success and failure in problem-solving and to signal to the organism in the form of pleasure and pain whether it was on the right or wrong path to the solution of the problem. In Search of a Better World, p.17 (emphasis added) The criterion of potential satisfactoriness is thus testability, or improbability: only a highly testable or improbable theory is worth testing, and is actually (and not merely potentially) satisfactory if it withstands severe tests—especially those tests to which we could point as crucial for the theory before they were ever undertaken. - C&R, Chapter 10 Consequently there is little merit in formalizing and elaborating a deductive system (intended for use as an empirical science) beyond the requirements of the task of criticizing and testing it, and of comparing it critically with competitors. - C&R, Chapter 10 Admittedly, our expectations, and thus our theories, may precede, historically, even our problems. Yet science starts only with problems. Problems crop up especially when we are disappointed in our expectations, or when our theories involve us in difficulties, in contradictions; and these may arise either within a theory, or between two different theories, or as the result of a clash between our theories and our observations. - C&R, Chapter 10 Socials Follow us on Twitter at @IncrementsPod, @BennyChugg, @VadenMasrani Come join our discord server!

Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgess explores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. 1865

PREVIEW — Svetlana Lokhova — The Atomic Spy Ring: Shamovski, Ovakimian, and Scientific Recruitment. Lokhova examines Soviet operatives Stanislav Shamovski and Gennady Ovakimian, who directed the espionage network stealing atomic weapons secrets. Ovakimian, a credentialed scientist, deliberately integrated himself into the American scientific community through published academic research and conference participation. His agents, including Shamovski, systematically recruited scientists and engineers from universities and government research institutes, who then reported operational intelligence up the chain through Ovakimian to Moscow Center. 1921

“Can you really be thankful when your heart is breaking?”In this powerful Thanksgiving episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa and LaWayna open up about navigating grief during the holidays and how gratitude can coexist with pain. From personal stories of loss to a helicopter ride filled with fear and prayer, they share authentic perspectives on reframing, community, and starting small gratitude practices that help bring calm to an overwhelmed mind.Whether you're grieving someone you love, struggling financially, or just feeling disconnected heading into the holidays—this conversation will remind you that you're not alone, and you can hold grief and grace at the same time.Quotes worth remembering● “You can absolutely have gratitude and be grieving at the same time—we are complicated human beings.” – LaWayna ● “Sometimes instead of asking ‘What am I grateful for?' ask ‘What do I have?'” – Teresa● “When we slow down and breathe, even for two minutes, the body begins to restore.” – Teresa● “I told the Lord, help your little sad child today.” – LaWayna ● “Maybe start with the ungrateful list before the grateful one.” – LaWayna Topics Covered● Navigating grief during the holiday season● How gratitude affects our brain chemistry and cortisol levels● Different gratitude practices (journaling, prayer, spoken word, connection)● The power of community in healing (AA, friendships, families)● Reframing and slowing down to be present● Adventuring outside comfort zones as an act of livingKey Takeaways● You can hold both grief and gratitude at the same time. Healing doesn't require pretending you're okay.● Starting small helps: Even a 2-minute breathing or gratitude moment can help reduce stress.● There is no one right way to practice gratitude. Journaling, prayer, speaking, community—find what works for you.● Reframing can shift mental state. Sometimes “What do I have?” is easier than “What am I grateful for?”● Getting emotions out (even the negative ones) may help. Try writing an “ungrateful list” before moving into gratitude. Suggested Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & Thanksgiving intro02:13 – Acknowledging current struggles (financial, loss, food scarcity)05:04 – Josh's gratitude practice through AA community07:02 – Holding grief and gratitude together11:19 – Scientific impact of gratitude (dopamine, serotonin)14:25 – How grief floods the body with cortisol17:07 – Breathing practice and beginning with 2 minutes22:49 – Helicopter moment: prayer, fear, and reframing27:30 – “What do I have?” as a gratitude entry point28:00 – Ungrateful list exercise29:18 – Tool announcement for listeners30:21 – Thanksgiving photos & family traditions32:21 – Closing remarks & listener engagementMentions & Shoutouts● AA Support Group – demonstrating accountability and morning gratitude list.Episode Extras●

A new article in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences presents compelling evidence that Chinese researchers are playing an increasingly important role in international science collaboration nowadays, after analyzing nearly six million papers, as well as their continued momentum amid fierce competition with the United States. How should we interpret China's growing influence in global science? What has China done right to reach this point? How can China and the United States, the two largest powers in scientific research, coexist and collaborate to advance global scientific progress?

Have you ever stopped and wondered how you are aware that you are aware? What if consciousness isn’t something you have, but something you are? In this mind-expanding episode, we dive deep into one of humanity’s greatest mysteries: consciousness itself. For centuries, philosophers called it the hard problem—how does a physical brain create the inner movie of life? But today, neuroscience, quantum theory, and even AI are revealing astonishing clues about what consciousness might truly be, and it’s more extraordinary than we ever imagined. This episode reveals three groundbreaking discoveries that will transform how you see yourself and your place in the universe. Mapping the Mind: The Science of Awareness For years, scientists searched for one single place in the brain that creates consciousness. But what they found instead is even more fascinating. Consciousness doesn’t live in one location—it flows through an entire network. Using cutting-edge brain imaging like fMRI and MEG, researchers have identified what they call consciousness hotspots. These are tiny hubs that light up and connect across the brain whenever we’re awake, dreaming, or self-aware. It’s not one area doing the work—it’s how they communicate. Think of it like a symphony. Each neuron is a musician, each connection is a note. And when they play together in harmony, awareness emerges. It’s the music of your mind. Even more stunning, in recent studies, coma patients once thought unconscious showed the same flickers of synchronised activity. Signs of awareness where none were expected. Science is now mapping what philosophers have only felt: the bridge between matter and mind. The Information Highway: How Consciousness Flows Consciousness isn’t static—it’s movement, energy flowing through the brain’s communication networks. When different regions of the brain start syncing, especially through gamma and alpha waves, that’s when awareness seems to bloom. It’s not about which parts are active, but how information travels between them. And then there’s something called predictive coding. That’s the idea that your brain isn’t just reacting to reality—it’s predicting it. Every second, your mind is guessing what’s about to happen, painting your world from the inside out. What you see, feel, and hear is not pure reality. It’s your brain’s best prediction of it. That means consciousness isn’t a mirror reflecting the world. It’s a creative force shaping it. Beyond the Brain: The Edge of the Mystery Here’s where the science begins to sound a lot like spirituality. Some researchers are questioning whether consciousness even starts in the brain. The theory of panpsychism suggests that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe—that everything from atoms to galaxies holds a spark of awareness. And quantum physics is hinting at the same thing: that the act of observation itself shapes reality. Even artificial intelligence is forcing us to ask new questions. If a machine could one day become self-aware, would it feel? Would it dream? Would it matter? Maybe consciousness isn’t something we have. Maybe it’s something we are. The ultimate golden nugget is you are the universe awakening. What happens when we finally decode consciousness? We might learn to awaken people from comas, heal trauma, or even connect mind to mind through technology. But the real transformation will be in how we see ourselves. Because the moment you realize consciousness isn’t confined to your brain, but is the very fabric of life itself, everything changes. You begin to see that you are not living in the universe—you are the universe becoming aware of itself. This isn’t just an episode—it’s an invitation to awaken to the mystery that’s looking through your eyes right now. Because consciousness isn’t something to understand, it’s something to awaken to.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 47! We're huge fans of East West Players, and our guest this episode, Dom Magwili, has worked with them since 1974. If that's all he did, it would be an amazing career. However, Dom has also been an actor, director, educator, and author. His latest work is Scientific Dragons: The Adventure of Ensun Castle. It's an entertaining and thrilling adventure that mixes historical figures, key fictional characters, Filipino culture, and a healthy dose of imagination in a steampunk environment. Among the work he's created for stage and screen include Much Adobo About Nothing, A Jive Bomber's Christmas (which had a 10-year run at the Japanese American National Museum), and One Puka Puka Christmas. His first book was Legends from the First Hemisphere: The Infernal Promise.  In our conversation, Dom shares what inspired him to pursue creativity as a profession, his journey to being an author, some of the themes of Scientific Dragons, and more. To learn more about Dom, you can visit his website, follow him on Instagram @dmagwili, and, of course buy Scientific Dragons or The Infernal Promise.

What if the key to transforming our entire life experience isn't found in changing our circumstances, but in cultivating gratitude? This powerful message explores how gratitude serves as a gateway to God's presence and a weapon against anxiety. Drawing from Philippians 4 and Psalm 100, we discover that gratitude isn't just polite words—it's a deliberate, humble recognition of God's goodness and the Giver behind every blessing. Scientific research confirms what Scripture has taught all along: deliberately writing down things we're grateful for reduces depression by up to 25%, increases optimism, improves sleep, and literally changes our brain chemistry. But more importantly, gratitude opens the gates to God's presence and allows us to experience the peace that surpasses understanding, even in the midst of trials. The Apostle Paul, writing from a prison cell, commanded believers to rejoice always and present their requests with thanksgiving—not because circumstances were perfect, but because God is faithful. When we remember God's benefits—His love, faithfulness, mercy, grace, holiness, sovereignty, wisdom, power, presence, and unchanging nature—we realize there's not one more good thing He needs to do for us and He is still good. Everything beyond our salvation is overflow. Gratitude transforms us from the inside out, helping us see our past properly diminished and our future magnified by God's promises. It's the vocabulary of heaven, and when we speak it, we experience heaven's reality here on earth.

In this episode, Dr Angela Puca unpacks one of the most fascinating questions in the study and practice of magic: how does magic actually work? Drawing on both historical and contemporary scholarship, she explores the six major explanatory models: the spirit, psychological, natural or energetic, information or cybernetic, sociological, and transcendent or mystical frameworks. Each reveals a different way magicians and scholars have tried to understand the mechanisms of ritual power, from relationships with spirits and manipulation of subtle forces to consciousness engineering and divine realisation. Whether you're a practitioner, scholar, or simply curious about how magic makes sense of the impossible, this episode will deepen your understanding of what really happens when magic works.CONNECT & SUPPORT

This Day in Legal History: US Capitol OpensOn November 17, 1800, the United States Congress convened for the first time in the new Capitol building in Washington, D.C., marking a foundational moment in American legal and political history. The relocation came after a decade of Congress meeting in temporary quarters, most recently in Philadelphia, as the young republic grappled with questions of permanence and national identity. Washington, D.C. had been selected as the capital through the Residence Act of 1790, a political compromise that helped balance regional power between North and South. By 1800, the city remained largely undeveloped, and the Capitol itself was still under construction—only the north wing was usable.Despite its incomplete state, the Capitol's occupation by Congress signaled the institutional maturity of the federal government. It gave physical shape to the separation of powers by housing the legislative branch in its own dedicated space, distinct from the executive and judiciary. This move also underscored the federal character of the American system, establishing a neutral location not belonging to any one state. John Adams, still president at the time, had moved into the President's House (now the White House) just weeks earlier, completing the federal trifecta.The decision to proceed with the session in an unfinished building reflected a commitment to constitutional governance and the rule of law, even in the face of logistical and environmental hardships. Lawmakers contended with the muddy streets and sparse accommodations of the nascent city, yet their presence inaugurated what would become one of the most symbolically and functionally important legislative chambers in the world. This moment laid the groundwork for Washington, D.C. to become not only the seat of American government but a focal point for legal development, political conflict, and democratic debate for centuries to come.More than 500 lawsuits alleging that Tylenol use during pregnancy causes autism in children may be revived, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit prepares to hear arguments from plaintiffs challenging a 2024 dismissal of their cases. A lower court had rejected the claims after finding that the plaintiffs' expert testimony lacked scientific rigor, a conclusion supported by Tylenol maker Kenvue. The plaintiffs argue the judge mischaracterized their experts' findings and are citing public support from President Trump and health officials, who linked autism to Tylenol use during a September 2025 press conference.Scientific consensus continues to hold that no definitive link exists between acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) and autism, a position echoed by Kenvue. The company is also facing a separate suit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who accuses Kenvue of concealing risks to children, though a Texas judge recently denied Paxton's efforts to halt a $398 million shareholder dividend and restrict Tylenol marketing. Meanwhile, it remains uncertain whether the appeal will impact Kimberly-Clark's pending $40 billion acquisition of Kenvue, though both companies have indicated that litigation over autism claims won't derail the deal.US appeals court to weigh reviving cases over Tylenol and autism | ReutersGupta Wessler, a boutique appellate firm in Washington, D.C., known for its U.S. Supreme Court advocacy on behalf of plaintiffs, has hired Matthew Guarnieri, a former assistant to the U.S. solicitor general. Guarnieri argued 13 Supreme Court cases under both the Biden and Trump administrations and is the first attorney to leave the solicitor general's office for a firm that exclusively handles plaintiff-side appellate work. His move reflects a growing recognition of Gupta Wessler's nontraditional model, which competes with corporate-heavy appellate practices at larger firms.Guarnieri becomes the fifth principal at the 18-lawyer firm, which is currently involved in high-profile litigation, including representing Consumer Financial Protection Bureau employees challenging President Trump's mass firings and securing a $185 million verdict against Monsanto over chemical contamination. The firm also represents Uber passengers alleging sexual assault and recently blocked an attempt in Nevada to limit contingency fees in civil cases. Guarnieri left the DOJ in October after nine years of service; the department declined to comment on his departure.DC appellate firm picks up departing DOJ Supreme Court advocate | ReutersA federal jury in California has ordered Apple to pay $634 million to Masimo, a medical technology company, for infringing a patent related to blood-oxygen monitoring used in Apple Watches. The jury found that specific features like workout mode and heart rate notifications violated Masimo's patent rights. Apple has announced plans to appeal, arguing that the patent in question, which expired in 2022, covers outdated technology and that most of Masimo's other patent claims have been invalidated.This verdict is part of a broader legal conflict between Apple and Masimo, which accuses Apple of poaching employees and misappropriating pulse oximetry technology. In 2023, the U.S. International Trade Commission imposed an import ban on certain Apple Watch models, prompting Apple to remove the disputed feature and later reintroduce it with customs approval. A new ITC review is now underway to determine if the updated models should also be banned. The legal fight spans several courts and includes ongoing challenges from both companies over import restrictions and intellectual property claims.US jury says Apple must pay Masimo $634 million in smartwatch patent case | Reuters This is a public episode.

What you believe about the origin of life and the universe affects everything you do. So it's crucial that you decide for yourself whether the design that's evident in nature is the product of a designer or the outcome of a blind, unguided process. Today on ID The Future, retired bioscientist Dr. Michael Kent explains how we can take back important scientific decisions that belong to us and not to a scientific elite largely guided by materialist assumptions. Kent also reviews some of the top evidence for intelligent design, including the revolutionary discoveries that the universe had a beginning and is finely tuned for human life. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode. Source

2. The Islamic World's Scientific Contributions and Mars in Medieval Thought. Matthew Shindell highlights an intellectual renaissance in the Islamic world—specifically Baghdad and Damascus—between the 10th and 16th centuries, which was vital while Europe was experiencing its "Dark Ages." Through translation and original work, Islamic scholars built upon ancient knowledge, fueling a great intellectual transformation. In the medieval period, Mars was widely associated with vices like war, violence, and disaster. However, the renowned poet Dante Alighieri, in The Divine Comedy, transformed this negative association into the virtue of fortitude. Since Dante was charting a path through the heavens, where all planets had to represent virtues, Mars was designated as the sphere housing martyrs and those who died in holy war, becoming a highly important symbol for Christian Europe. 1962

However, the renowned poet Dante Alighieri, in The Divine Comedy, transformed this negative association into the virtue of fortitude. Since Dante was charting a path through the heavens, where all planets had to represent virtues, Mars was designated as the sphere housing martyrs and those who died in holy war, becoming a highly important symbol for Christian Europe. 1920 JOHN CARTER

Is the world a good place? Is truth relative? Can beauty be defined? On this episode of ID the Future from the archive, host David Klinghoffer speaks with Dr. Ann Gauger, Director of Science Communication and a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, about her article “The Transcendental Treasury of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness” at Science & Culture Today. These abstract concepts don't derive from the material world, yet we feel impoverished without them; they're foundations of a life worth living. Materialistic evolutionary explanations for truth, beauty, and goodness are out there, but they fall flat upon closer inspection. Some of them even reduce these qualities to mere illusion. Gauger holds that truth, beauty, and goodness are hallmarks of a designed world. Meditating on them can promote a spirit of gratitude, an important part of a healthy, happy life. Source

What if space and time aren't real, and consciousness is the true fabric of the universe? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Donald Hoffman, pioneering cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality, breaks down the revolution currently shaking science to its core. Could everything we experience — even space and time — be just part of a virtual interface our minds use to survive? Dr. Hoffman explains why consciousness (not matter) might be fundamental, what could exist beyond space-time, and why merging science and spirituality may be the only way to solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness. He also breaks down why: - Reality may just be what we perceive through a VR headset - Thinking you are your body could be one of humanity's greatest dangers - AI will never truly be conscious - Consciousness doesn't arise from physical processes, but might create them - Darwin's Theory of Evolution may suggest our world isn't real at all - Technology could be clouding our ability to perceive God - Recognizing a higher consciousness naturally leads to compassion and love for others - Building a scientific framework for spirituality could allow science to finally confirm what mystics have always known - His mathematical model of consciousness may reveal a collective mind & even prove the existence of God - His theory of the observer could unlock real magic: time travel, instant knowledge downloads, limb regeneration, and more We may have discovered the first layer of the Simulation's software; once we understand it, can we manipulate it to create magic? But with this potential power comes danger — if we unlock reality's source code, what happens next? Dr. Hoffman believes that if science proves consciousness is fundamental, confirming spirituality itself, the impact on humanity will be unlike anything we've ever seen. If consciousness really is the code behind reality, this might be the most important conversation of our lifetime. Don't miss it!
