Samir Varma on free will, AI, and the physics of synchronicity.

You have free will. You have no choice.
What sounds like a paradox is actually a gateway to deeper understanding in this conversation between Dr. Bernard Beitman and physicist Samir Varma. Together, they explore how a deterministic universe still allows for genuine unpredictability—creating a space where consciousness and free will can thrive.
The two dive into the role of attention, the nature of meaningful coincidences, and how AI mirrors our own limitations and potential. Coincidences only become significant when you bring your perspective to them. No one else is going to tell you what it means. You are the final decider. Are you ready to carry that responsibility?
Meet Samir now on the Connecting with Coincidence podcast:
