If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound-or was the tree ever there at all?This book unfolds as a dialogue between two minds: Gene, the realist, and Abraham, the idealist. Across sixteen conversations, they wrestle with one of philosophy's oldest questions: is reality made of matter or of mind? Are trees and cappuccinos truly physical objects composed of atoms or are they manifestations of consciousness itself?As Gene and Abraham pr...

It's a play about the English language and Shakespeare, sex, THC, television shows, music, art as well as technology, mental illness, BDSM, crossdressing, and other things.

Shelley's Prometheus Unbound, George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superma...

You have never encountered anyone like the Quantum Illuminati. They possess the forbidden answer to existence. They even explain why you will never understand this forbidden answer. The Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden had a second property that was never revealed: even if you ate of it, you still didn't acquire the forbidden knowledge, because you needed to be God to understand that knowledge. The Quantum Illuminati worked out how to extract all of the knowledge of the Tree of Know...

This book shows that free will has a most unexpected advocate – mathematics. Only in a mathematical universe can we be free. Only in a mathematical universe can we have a soul. And in a mathematical universe, f...
