Ep. 049 - Ryan Kralik: Don’t Anthropomorphize the Substrate!

Welcome to episode 49 of The Paranormal Rundown! Our guest this episode is Ryan Kralik, the author of a forthcoming book called It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness. Ryan has a fascinating theory about reality, where existence is built on information, not matter or consciousness. He has shared his ideas and incorporated feedback from people like Hal Puthoff, Rupert Sheldrake, Dean Radin, and Ed Kelly, and published articles about this framework in Ancient Origins and on his website, itfromus.com. Our conversation takes a deep dive into paranormal phenomena, quantum mechanics, and even social structures and religions as a way to manage coherance within the system. We learn a little about Vic's mind as a child, Ryan's personal experiences with Remote Viewing, and even how Star Trek is Information First! Along the way we discuss UFO, Being Antitheist, Santa Clause, Remote Viewing, Rewriting Reality, UAP Materials, Religious Dogma, Human Motivations, Frank Tipler's Omega Point, and more. While this isnt a typical Rundown, full of random selections from The List, we think you will really enjoy this discussion on reality, the paranormal, and how it all might just be founded on an Information First Substrate.
