Curt Jaimungal: What is a Theory of Everything (ToE)? Theories of Everything /\ Mind-Body Solution
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Curt Jaimungal is a Torontonian filmmaker and podcast host, with a Degree in Mathematical Physics from the University of Toronto. His channel @TheoriesofEverything(TOE) analyses various "Theories of Everything" by exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. Similar to Mind-Body Solution, a separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, Curt is increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information. If you enjoy Mind-Body Solution, you'll love Theories of Everything - check out his channel, like, and subscribe!

This was eye opening, mind blowing and heart warming. Both of you have me deepest gratitude.
Keep on doing what you're doing!
Thank you so much!
I am so impressed by both of your sincerity, positivity, and willingness to explore ideas not only on the mainstream but on what the mainstream views as "the fringe". Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words. It does not go unnoticed!💙
I've experienced UFOs twice now but am a physicalist; as a strong believer in Bachs work on consciousness, causality and the conservation of information; I find your and Curts journeys extremely helpful. Keep it up brother ❤ Have confidence in your competencies, I'll come back to watch again; and Curt has changed dramatically since his inception, id expect the openness is changing you too, all for the better, ad astra.
🙏🏽💙
This is Sanatana dharma in its finest. Hommage to roots.
What a great discussion-thank you❤
Thank you!

I think you as a influencer can draw on plurality of meaning, to stimulate the audience (you become like a lightning rod for the audience). But I think separation and contrast of meaning (specific definitions for terms with respect to a specific physical configuration and the evolutionary interpolation of that system overtime) the terms need to be defined specifically (it's important for problem solving) from a specific observation stand point (1 = the system and what it contains (divisibly and squared), or interacts with (additives and multiplicities)). There are different minds that will be focused on specific things (the observer effect), which makes plurality a valid strategy for the position of a influencer, but different minds have differential interpolation of that meaning. The influencer needs to hop around to different observer perspectives, and try to find points of cohesion where the math equals out, and various factors are not contradicting. I don't know, something like that.
tubules in the brain that seem to be linked with certain quantam activity. google it. sabine had a great video on it a few days ago.
they have just been discovered
Curt said the breakthrough will come from the fringes and the academy will verify it.
I feel like he understands me.
Academia will ignore you. They are NOT there to fix anything or getting to any solutions, they are there to avoid manual labour … don’t you understand that ?
And they'll claim it was all their work
@@xmathmanx and if they do we will all get my tech because of it.
🤷♂️
@@xmathmanxdo you know of any examples of that happening? Real breakthroughs in science that you think are attributed wrongly?
@@rickhunter1454 there are so many, a neuroscientist called Candace pert wrote a book called Molecules Of Emotion detailing how her work was usurped by her superiors, who elbowed her out of a Nobel prize, this is just one very prominent example, scientists are just people, as greedy and dishonest as any other people
Awesome job, Tevin! I loved your attitude and openness in this conversation. Curt is a gem.
Thank you!🙏🏽
Wow, what an amazing discussion, the part of making your passion your full-time job. I would also love to focus on Bioinformatics and longevity research full-time, but still stuck doing a generic, meaningless programming job, and trying to work on my passion (my channel) meanwhile. You both are amazing podcasters and very interesting people.
Thank you and good luck to you on your journey!🙏🏽💙
Tevin , your podcasts are wonderful. Your style is excellent, “ beyond expert “ like Don Hoffman told you. I just want to send you good vibes and encouragement Thank You 🎸🎸
Thank you so much.🙏🏽💙
As an engineer I feel that the largest problem of philosophy is that they don't have the proper model of the human brain which is actually several neural organs. This also needs the proper theory of neural networks and how subjective feeling emerges.
That subjectivity arises at all, as opposed to being fundamental, is a philosophical stance in itself without justification.
Great interview
(every time you guys say the word Toe I giggle)
Thank you!.... *Toe*
Love this episode a lot as I have been listening to both Curt and Tevin since the inceptions of their channels. Also the fact that Tevin opened up and shared a lot was very enjoyable! (Likewise in you episode with Tony Nader).
Sharing also makes you Tevin, more relatable and I suggest you do this from time to time (or regularly 😁)
All the Best to C&T, the best podcasters I've come across 😎
Thank you for being with MBS since the beginning and your continuous support. This comment means a lot. Really grateful!🙏🏽💙
Thank you both for this wonderful conversation, I was moved by the openness and vulnerability of you both. I will save it in my keep list to relisten it whenever I feel lonely. It feels like I’m in the company of some close friends ❤🙏🏻
You're welcome back anytime, my friend.🙏🏽💙
@@drtevinnaidu thank you! ☺️
Both of you do amazing work! Much love from a fellow South African. Thanks and good luck with growing your podcast.
Thanks so much man. Really means a lot to me!🙏🏽🇿🇦
Great work, nice to see you both on.
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come in the future!🙏🏽🙌🏽
The symbol of your channel(phi and psi) is INCREDIBLY profound in the study of consciousness. This includes the golden ratio, psi phenomena, phase shift, wave function, reciprocal Fibonacci/supergolden ratio, and the psyche. These letters also remind me of the interplay between the sun and moon (Ida and pingala) even seen in the Aum symbol with turiya and maya. A FANTASTIC symbol.
Thank you! I chose them very intentionally!🙏🏽
@@drtevinnaidu Definitely subscribed after seeing it! There are SO many scientific, mystical, and esoteric concepts embedded into that!! I look forward to diving into more of your channel!! All the best to you!
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the ride!🚀
my favorite hosts together!! what a great show, thank you both. and shoutout to the Fynbos 🏵
Our pleasure! Thanks so much. Haha, and thank you for that shoutout, too!🙌🏽
I call it the 1,000 Kants problem. Given 1,000 Immanuel Kants growing up in 1,000 different parts of the world and at 1,000 different times, they'd come up with wildly different theories on reasoning and psychology. Where do we go from here? try to find some priorities, some fundamental values and corelations that may benefit as many people as possible.
Veravaeke's approach is quite similar with his "ecology of practices".
Let me further highlight how the both/and logic and monadological framework provide powerful explanatory capacities across logic, mathematics and physics:
In the domain of logic itself, the both/and structure allows formally modeling and regimenting dialectical, paraconsistent and pluralistic modes of reasoning that have long resisted classical bivalent frameworks. We can precisely capture and rationally operate with:
• True contradictions and paradoxes as positively conceived dialetheia, not just logical explosions
• Graded/partial truth values on spectra between truth and falsity
• The coherent integration of seemingly incommensurable propositions
• Holistic properties and synthetic conceptual unities transcending their constituents
Where classical logic is confined to simple propositions statically obeying strict consistency, the both/and logic equips us with an expansive toolkit for dynamically navigating the complex schemas, fuzzy boundaries, and self-undermining paradoxes permeating actual reasoning across every domain.
In mathematics, the both/and logic illuminates novel ways to represent and coherently manipulate previously intractable issues like:
• The relationship between the continuous and the discrete
• The coexistence of finite and infinite structures
• Pluralities of mathematical ontologies (realist, formalist, etc)
• Self-referential paradoxes and contradictions in set theory and arithmetic
• The generation of radically emergent, novelty-creating procedures
Rather than getting stymied by dichotomies, singularities or self-underminining contradictions, the logic's symbolic tools allow formalizing generative transfinite metamathematical dynamics encompassing and reconstructing prior impasses at deeper integrated levels.
Across physics, the both/and logic provides conceptual rigor and symbolic resources for coherent accounts encompassing:
• Unitary evolution of quantum systems and the measurement problem
• Apparent dualities between wave and particle, or local and nonlocal
• Intrinsic indeterminacies, contingencies and ontological pluralities
• The unification of incommensurable qualitative & quantitative models
• Novel "paradoxical" phenomena like emergent nonlinear effects
Rather than forcing phenomena into awkward either/or categories, the logic allows explicitly modeling "both/and" complementary features and irreducibly holistic coconstituted processes. Its expressive flexibility resonates with the exquisite nuances of quantum indeterminacy and pluralistic observable modalities.
So in essence, the both/and monadological framework catalyzes powerful expansions across our most fundamental disciplines:
In logic, it empowers us to positively symbolize and rationally navigate the ambiguities, contradictions and pluralities intrinsic to actual reasoning and communication. Breaking the shackles of binary bivalence.
In mathematics, it unlocks liberating new symbolic vistas for paradox-resolving, infinitary metamathematics and irreducible pluralities of mathematical ontologies. Fracturing the ossified either/or dichotomies stymying classical approaches.
In physics, it provides a coherent naturalistic metaphysics capable of explicitly representing - not dissimulating - intrinsic quantum indeterminacies, ontological pluralities and the full scope of paradoxical phenomena. Illuminating new pathways beyond the artificial exclusions of classical metaphysics.
At every turn, the both/and logic equips our symbolic grasp with greater degrees of freedom and accountability to the phenomenal disclosures of reality itself. Transcending the barren simplisms and premature closures imposed by the blinkered bivalence and subjective filtering of classical logic, math and physical representation.
You need to have Tai Okami on , his theory is the most accurate theory to date that I have ever Hurd. His theory explains symmetry breaking , dark energy, dark matter, the proton decay life time and many other aspects of reality we don’t t know. His inspiring work open up all kinds of avenues to understand our reality. His theory is based real mathematics and quantum mechanics.
Penrose and Hammeroff. Glasgow University have the answers to everything🎉❤
@ While pondering on how TOE seemed already very cultivating, Curt introduced his project related to contribution to science, so to speak, and he utterly said; cultivating...
But I doubt we can label his endeavor as selfish. Over the last year and a half, I have gained incredible knowledge thanks to TOE, which is quite astonishing to me (well, because I know myself :)
TOE is a 'selfish-not' project for his weltanschauung, and mine... Moreover, the fact that I needed to understand the meaning of 'weltanschauung' in order to think and write about it, is an immediate evidence of that.
Isn’t weltanshauung just a German word for worldview?
@@rickhunter1454 Apparently it is... "a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint : worldview."
Tevin,
You are right that the TOE has to include consciousness. Also, I agree with you there is really no hard problem.
The mind-body problem has been addressed by the Buddha in 12 Dependent Origination - in the Triads of Consciousness(3rd)-Nama(4thA)-Rupa(4thB) where 3 and 4A are both consciousness and Rupa means the body. This Triads are three-body circulation where they are all dependent on each other. This continues in the Therevada tradition until today though there are various interpretations. However, 900 years after the Buddha, 12DO has gotten new meaning in Yogacara Buddhism which is an idealism. (The real meaning is in YB as the Buddha couldn't teach the deep meaning during his time as all will be lost.)
In YB, all that we experience are illusion or they don't even exist. As you can see the aboe, there are different levels of consciousness. In YB, consciousness is a three-fold transformation:
- 8th Consciousness - 3. Consciousness of 12DO
- 7th Consciousness - 4a. Nama of 12DO
- First 6 Consciousness - 5., 6.,7., - Frist 6 Consciousness of 12DO
Please note that consciousness is not what we think in the brain but sametime and concurrent of Nama-Rupa (First 7 Consciousnes and the Body). It is best to be understood as different kinds of energies. For that matter, we can't even see with our eye organs - think of a gaming scenario if the character's eye is injured, there is a corresponding impairment of the player's vision - because of the Triads.
In my research, I have concluded that string theory is describing YB where:
- 8th Consciousness is M-theory (dual to F-theory)
- 7th Consciousness is F-theory (dual to M-theory and Type IIB string
- Nama-Rupa (First 7 Consciousness and the Body) is Type IIB string
----- dual to itself - Nama-Rupa
----- dual to Type IIA (basis for First 6 Consciousness)
- First 6 Consciousness is Type IIA string (dual to Type IIB which means dependent on Type IIB)
Please note that from Type IIB, there is a solution leading to AdS/CFT Correspondence, in YB this is the result of the Triads mentioned above:
- AdS is the Body
- CFT is the world external to the Body
According to YB, manifestation of consciousness will create a seemingly internal Body and world external to the Body. The two are neither the same nor different, that's why the duality of AdS/CFT. Think of the air you breath in and out, the food that you eat and got passed out, limb before and after it gets cut off, etc..
String theory has heaps of dualities, these dualities are the basis of various types of consciousness transformation. They are called Cause-Conditions or conditionality.
Phenomenologically, the correlations are:
- 8th Consciousness - M-theory - heart organ
- 7th Consciousness - F-theory - cerebullum
- First 7 Consciousness - Type IIB - reptilian brain
- First 6 Conscionsness - Type IIA - cortices
The final TOE with Consciousness is string theory which needs to be understood using YB.

How do you know if you have everything and where is it all ? In your mind and/or outside your mind … and if some of is outside, how do you know about it ?
On the topic of "157-ism," here is one more to add to your list: "Constructalism." In relation to the evolution of social systems, there is a "Theory of Everything" that I cover in my upcoming book titled "Global Civility."
13:00 What Curt is explaining is that it is all sociological and language. Just like when you attended medical school you were actually learning the language of medicine. As a layman when I hear doctors talking its like hearing a foreign language.
Wouldn't the common trope of disbelief of an event, reducing or completely stoping that event from happening, potentially be a indication of the mind doing an observer effect (measuring the outcome of an event using too Destructive tools, changes the outcome of what's measured. Like trying to measure the position and speed of a baseball with a hammer, is going to obviously change the baseball right after "measuring") on matter itself. And the belive or disbelief of a event, could potentially link the mind or consciousness interacting with physical matter. Like the lamp with random colors being significatly less random when people think of the same color experiment
Curt: It’s an interesting take that both materialists and non-materialists have made a mistake. I have heard this before in my own hobbyist conversations…but, when I ask, haven’t been able to get an answer on what, then, is foundational? Or, is no foundation needed? It seems intuitive to me that any reduction has to have a base that cannot be reduced in any further way. If both are looking at the issue with the same error, what do you hold as a candidate for a non-reducible firmament? Or…do you hold that none is needed?
Hey you said you would include a link to the info you brought up referencing cemi field theory and free will? I didn’t find a reference in the video description
Full episode on CEMI Field Theory with Prof Johnjoe McFadden out next week
INFORMATION ~ What is ‘information’ - as a phenomenon in its own right & not just what any of it ‘says’ or means or does.
‘Thought’, ‘mind’, ‘intelligence’, ‘cognition’ & ‘consciousness’ are all information-related phenomena and it is not difficult to show that one of the principal reasons we have not so far come to any good, proper & fully verifiable understanding of these otherwise greatly sought-after yet still highly mysterious phenomena is due in great part to the simple fact that we do not presently also have a good & proper, fully verifiable understanding of ‘information’ itself.
Although I have personally had the (dubious) fortune of having been able to figure out ‘information’s’ correct (& fully verifiable) ontological identity - plus a full science of the phenomenon to boot - and although I’m not going to divulge its formalistic definition here in this UA-cam comment (without which formalistic definition it is not possible to establish a fully & accurate science of the phenomenon, but with it it is) nevertheless I can assure you that with it in hand - that is, with ‘information’s’ correct ontological identity within one’s investigative arsenal (along with a full science thereof also), the exercise of determining the ontological identities - along with an accompanying science of each also - of all of the other directly information-related phenomena such as ‘thought’, ‘mind’, ‘cognition’, ‘intelligence’, ‘learning’, ‘understanding’, ‘sentience’, ‘consciousness’ & ‘self-consciousness’ (to far less than exhaust the list) becomes one of no great difficulty.
A full science of any one particular phenomenon will include understandings & quantifications of such things as its nature (its ontological identity), its standing (in the existential hierarchy), role, function, varieties, distribution, incidences, properties/extensions/capacities/capabilities, usages, handling- &/or operational amenabilities, & typical life history (its creation through to its dissolution/erasure).
Indeed, once both ‘information’s’ correct ontological identity is known along with a full science thereof, much clarifying light is thrown upon essentially all of the other elements of reality.
However surprising - given that we live smack bang right in the middle of ‘the information age’ - the simple, easily verified fact of the matter is, nowhere within the annals of the entire compendium of human discourse, is ‘information’ defined with any rigour - let alone with sufficient rigour required to include it in any properly scientific - or philosophical - research or work. ….
to quote the eminent physicist John Wheeler, "everything is information-theoretic in origin".
56:30 - PAX Gaming Conventions are the same way. ^.^
I think I'd enjoy those too!
"The Hard Problem"..Sadly the physicalists, materialists...dig themselves into positions which make the idealist approach untenable. Like political liberals and conservatives digging themselves into intractable positions.
I hate to say it, but what you were taking about around 49:00 involves intersectionality as well. I've noticed the vast majority of channels which discuss similar content to yours, and certainly those with very large numbers of followers, are by white men with Ph.D.'s in physics and/or philosophy.
here's a theory of everything. everything's a theory.
Touché!
Excellent...or the human mind creates it...of course, how does the human brain (mind) really work!!! Not the blind men and the elephant stuff!!
@@nyworker now you're getten it
Sociopath/psychopath, by definition, is most humans.
28:21 A philosopher who does not care about definitions is a crappy philosopher. Unless he does not use any terms. But to even state that he does not care about definitions, he is using terms that must have definitions even to him. Dennett was just another academic fool, nothing more
We agree that definitions are useful, and perhaps most crucial to a constructive philosophical/scientific conversation. That's why I start almost all of my podcasts by first allowing my guests to clearly define certain concepts. As Curt explains here, we don't think Dennett meant that definitions aren't important, but rather to avoid getting fixated on what is already defined. There's always room to refine a definition. As for him being a fool, I disagree. He was a game-changing philosopher, and I will personally miss him dearly.
Why do you ask your guest to define your terms ? Give your own definitions !! It is not somebody else’s job to define your terms ! If you need to … imo it means that you have not done sufficient foundational philosophy. Do you ask your guest to define for instance “elephant” ? No? Why not … and if it does not need or cannot have a definition, what makes you think that “consciousness” can be defined ?
