I delve into the concept of 'truth' — how my understanding has evolved over the years, particularly after my shift to idealism in 2020.

I reflect on my earlier, reductionist views as a physics student, where truth seemed like a set of universal rules waiting to be uncovered. I contrast this with the insights I gained from philosophy and spiritual traditions, which pointed to a more subjective and elusive understanding of truth.

Drawing on perspectives from thinkers like Immanuel Kant, Donald Hoffman, and Bernardo Kastrup, I explore the idea that what we perceive as the physical world might be merely "renderings" of a deeper reality, or noumenon, filtered through our subjective consciousness.

I also discuss the implications of this perspective on science, suggesting a balance between conventional approaches and more open-minded explorations at the fringes of knowledge.

Finally, I share how this shift has influenced my personal relationship with truth, allowing me to embrace a wider range of ideas—from mainstream science to unconventional and "woo" topics—with curiosity and excitement.
