In this episode I’m joined by neuroscientist Bobby Azarian, who authored the 2022 book, The Romance of Reality: How the Universe Organizes Itself to Create Life, Consciousness, and Cosmic Complexity. I interviewed Bobby two years ago when the book was released, where he explained to me how the second law of thermodynamics creates complexity as a way to increase entropy, and how life itself is a part of that process (see link below).

In this episode, you’ll find a discussion that builds on that previous conversation, exploring how this process of complexification imbues the universe with meaning and increasing self-awareness, how Bobby believes this creates an almost spiritual duty for humans to become stewards of the process, how to navigate this process in better or worse ways as our species innovates into the future, and more.
