NOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speakers personal spiritual views and understanding of consciousness and the universe. Weve flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. https://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf
DESCRIPTION: Remarkably, we are still stuck asking ourselves the same age-old questions of existence: what is the nature of consciousness and reality? Luckily, the contours of a new scientific paradigm are becoming visible as we stand at the dawning of multiple paradigm shifts imbued with the potential to finally transform our understanding of the cosmos and our own minds. James is an author, academic, and quantitative researcher. In 2024, his second book investigating the foundations of reality and the nature of consciousness will be published, called “The Sapient Cosmos,” James’ background is in theoretical physics, and he has a Ph.D. in the study of complex systems. He has worked in the traditional finance industry and the distributed ledger ecosystem for sixteen years. James grew up in the Swiss mountains and likes to snowboard, climb, skateboard, surf, and listen to electronic music. This talk was given at a TEDxDaltVila.
