Jim Rutt - God, Consciousness, and AI

from If I’m Really Honest · host jamincoller

What does it mean to be awake—as a human, or as a machine? In this wide-ranging conversation, Jamin Coller and Jim Rutt explore consciousness, religion, evolution, metaphysics, and whether AI can ever truly “wake up.” They unpack Game B, noble lies, mystical experience, and why the illusion of God might be as neurologically real as the love you feel for your child.

Jim Rutt—technologist, complexity scientist, and former CEO of Network Solutions—joins If I’m Really Honest to talk consciousness, AI, religion, and the mind’s capacity for illusion. From Pascal’s Wager to LSD-induced ego death, from the Washington Monument thought experiment to the “minimum viable metaphysics,” Rutt and Coller wrestle with what’s real, what’s useful, and what it means to believe.
