What if time is not an objective force, but a function of consciousness? In this Ask Thom Anything episode, Thom explores the Vedic view of time, the deeper meaning of evolution, whether God can feel individual pain, and how to think about artificial intelligence without fear or fantasy.
Along the way, he returns again and again to a central Vedic question: who is the "I" having the experience? Listen for a wide-ranging conversation on context, consciousness, and what it means to live from a larger sense of Self.
