In this episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman and guest Federico Faggin dive into the profound questions about the fundamental nature of reality, the "one totality of existence, free will, consciousness and wanting to know ourselves. Federico Faggin is a physicist, inventor of the first commercial microprocessor, and consciousness researcher. Together, we discuss Federico's "postulate of being", which posits that the universe, "the totality of existence" is dynamic, holistic, and wants to know itself. We explore the intersections of quantum physics and consciousness, the role of free will, and the ways in which our individual perspectives contribute to the collective understanding of reality. The conversation also touches on the importance of self-observation and the potential of synchronicities to reveal deeper truths about our interconnectedness and purpose.
Federico Faggin created MOS Silicon Gate Technology that underlies all modern computing, the first commercial microprocessor, the touchpad, the touchscreen, and neural nets that all contemporary AI uses. After an extraordinary experience of consciousness more than 30 years ago, Federico has devoted his work to understanding the nature of consciousness, which along with free will, he postulates to be fundamental aspects of existence itself.

Bernard D. Beitman, MD has broken out of the restrictive bounds of conservative academic research to produce a blueprint for the practically-oriented new discipline of Coincidence Studies. He has served as chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology and then as chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He has reached more than one million people through his Psychology Today blog, radio show, website, and two coincidence books, Connecting with Coincidence and Meaningful Coincidences. Yale and Stanford educated, He is the founder and president of The Coincidence Project.
