Tom Campbell has appeared on numerous science and spirituality channels and podcasts to talk about the My Big TOE model of reality. He has also had some stimulating discussions with other scientists and thinkers who, each from their own perspective, have also arrived at the conclusion that consciousness is fundamental to reality.

Conversations with Scientists
Prof. Donald D. Hoffman, Ph.D., University of Irvine, California
About Donald Hoffman
Donald Hoffman is a professor emeritus in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer Science. Donald studies consciousness, visual perception and evolutionary psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. In his 2019 book “The Case Against Reality”, Donald argues that evolution has shaped living organisms such that they do not necessarily perceive the external world as it is. This “interface theory of perception” led Donald to a metaphysical view he calls “conscious realism”, which holds that consciousness is the primary reality from which the physical world emerges.

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., Stem Cell Biologist
About Bruce Lipton
Bruce focused his early work on the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. His research at Stanford, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the cell environment, which operated via the cell membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. This discovery ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by genes, and gave rise to one of today’s most important fields of study: the science of epigenetics. Epigenetics researches how the cell environment controls cell functioning. As Bruce discovered, the cell environment is highly susceptible to be influenced by our thoughts and emotions, revealing that consciousness is in no small part responsible for our biological functioning.

Conversations with Other Thinkers
Iain McGilchrist, Ph.D.
About Iain McGilchrist
Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist, neuroscience researcher, philosopher and literary scholar. In 2009 he rose to worldwide fame with his bestselling book “The Master and His Emissary”, in which he provided scientific evidence that the left and right brain hemispheres represent two fundamentally different ways of experiencing the world. Although My Big TOE posits that all cognitive processes take place within consciousness, not the brain, it draws on the “left brain / right brain” metaphor to illustrate the difference between an intellectual-analytic and an intuitive-holistic way of approaching the world.

Bernardo Kastrup, Ph.D.
About Bernardo Kastrup
Bernardo has earned Ph.D. degrees in both computer science and philosophy. A firm opponent of reductionist materialism, Bernardo has developed a metaphysical view he calls “analytic idealism”. Like My Big TOE, it holds that consciousness is the fundamental substrate of reality. The two models slightly differ in the details, though, some of which Tom and Bernardo discuss in this conversation.
