Hans Busstra and his guest, physicist Dr. Markus Müller of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, achieve the near impossible: to make Quantum Mechanics intuitively understandable, while remaining true to it. Dr. Müller discusses the outlines of his theory, which we consider to be the most profound, sober, intellectually honest and promising approach to quantum theory today: we must start from a first-person perspective and predict what we will see next, as opposed to the metaphysical presupposition that physics is about an external, objective physical universe with standalone existence. If truly understood, as this episode attempts to help you do, his views are as compelling as its implications are world-changing.

In Reality Reminded, acclaimed Dutch filmmaker Hans Busstra shares his research for a new documentary about metaphysical idealism. In this first episode, he takes us back to what first fired his interest in idealism: his fascination with conscious artificial intelligence. Diving into the idea of spiritual machines, he found himself stumbling upon metaphysical and mathematical problems that point away from materialism.

Could it be that we've 'un'minded reality and that we now need to 're'mind it? 

This first episode features archival footage from Ray Kurzweil and Yuval Noah Harari, and exclusive interviews with Meghan O’ Ghieblyn, Jeffrey J. Kripal and Roger Penrose.
