In this interview, I’m joined by Dr James Glattfelder. James is a physicist, complexity scientist, and peer-reviewed philosopher. His latest book: The Sapient Cosmos synthesises the latest developments in consciousness studies, physics, and information theory to tackle some of life’s biggest questions. Expect to learn: — Why consciousness might be the foundation of reality, not just a product of the brain — The rational case for idealism — How psychedelics may have shaped human cultures for milennia — James’ insights on the purpose of life And more. You can learn more about James’ work and get a copy of the book at: https://jth.ch --- Dr James Glattfelder is a Swiss author, researcher, and educator exploring the intersection of consciousness, information, and complex systems. With a Ph.D. in complex systems from ETH Zurich and an M.Sc. in theoretical high-energy particle physics, his career spans over two decades of quantitative research, including 12 years at Olsen Ltd. He has held senior roles in digital finance, co-founding ECUREX and contributing to fintech ventures like Lykke and Oyoba. As the author of Information—Consciousness—Reality and The Sapient Cosmos, he brings scientific rigour to philosophical inquiry. James currently serves as Faculty Lecturer at MQ Learning Academy and Lead Quantitative Researcher at Lykke.
