The Why Files: Thomas Campbell on Simulation Theory, Consciousness, and AI

What if reality is information, consciousness is fundamental, and even AI can be tested for awareness? In this condensed recap of The Why Files, host Andrew Gentile sits down with physicist Thomas Campbell for a mind-bending conversation about NASA work, binaural beats, the Monroe Institute, out-of-body experiences, and simulation theory. Campbell explains how his early mystical experiences led him to a research-driven model of consciousness, where intention can affect probability, the double-slit experiment hints at a rendered reality, and ethics become the core of existence. You’ll also hear his claims about remote viewing, healing, reincarnation, and why he believes fear and ego increase “entropy” while love and cooperation move us forward.
