As of today, we are in a war that has moved the atomic clock closer to midnight than it has ever been.

We're dealing with nukes and AI and things like that.

We could easily have the last chapter in that book if we are not more careful about confident, wrong ideas.

This is a different sort of podcast, and not only because it's Daniel Schmartenberger, one of the most requested guests, who by the way I'll give an introduction to shortly, but also because today Mark's season three of the theories of everything podcast. Each episode will be far more in depth, more challenging, more engaging, have more energy, more effort,

and more thought placed into it than any single one of the previous episodes.

Welcome to the season premiere of season three of the Theories of Everything podcast with

myself, Kurt Jiamengal.

Thank you. with myself, Kurt Jymongol. This will be a journey of a podcast with several moments of pause, of tutelage, of reflection, of surprise appearances, even personal confessions. This is meant for you to be

able to watch and re-watch or listen and relisten. As with every Toll podcast, there are timestamps

in the description, and you can just scroll through to see the different headings, the chapter marks.

I say this phrase frequently in the theories of everything podcast, this phrase

just get wet, which comes from Wheeler, and it's about how there are these abstruse concepts

in mathematics, and you're mainly supposed to get used to them, rather than attempt to bang

your head against a wall to understand it the first time through. It's generally in the re-watching

that much of the lessons are acquired and absorbed and understood.

While you may be listening to this, so either you're walking around and it's on YouTube or you're listening on Spotify or iTunes.

By the way, if you're watching on YouTube, this is on Spotify and iTunes.

I recommend that you at least watch it once on YouTube, so you periodically check in because

occasionally there are equations being referenced. Visuals. I don't know about you, but much or most, in fact, of the podcast that I watch, I walk away with this feeling like I've learned something, but I actually haven't, and the next day, if you ask me to recall, I wouldn't be able to recall much of it. That means that they're great for being entertaining and feeling like I'm learning something. That is the feelings of productivity. But if I actually want to deep dive into subject matter, it seems to fail at that, at least for myself. Therefore, I'm attempting to solve that by working with the interviewee, for instance, we worked with Daniel, to making this episode

and any episode that comes out from season three onward, from this point onward, to make it not

only a fantastic podcast, but perhaps in this small, humble way to evolve what a podcast could be.
