Episode description

Does reality exist independently of perception, or does the very act of noticing shape what we experience? This episode explores the unsettling relationship between awareness and reality, from quantum mechanics and cognitive bias to synchronicity and the role of algorithms in curating experience. Are we simply recognizing patterns, or is consciousness an active force in shaping the world around us?
