About Thomas Campbell
Thomas Campbell, a physicist and author of the "My Big TOE" trilogy, appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience in September 2025, where he discussed his theory that reality is a virtual reality computed by a larger consciousness system. Campbell stated that consciousness is fundamental and that the physical world is derived from it, describing humans as pieces of consciousness playing avatars in a virtual reality. He also said that the larger consciousness system is evolving toward becoming love and that the purpose of life is to lower one's entropy through learning and making choices based on kindness and cooperation. Campbell attributed phenomena such as UFOs and crop circles to the larger consciousness system, which he said creates them to help open people's minds to a bigger reality. In other recent appearances, including interviews on the Know Thyself podcast and News for the Heart, Campbell reiterated his view that reality is information-based and computable, and that the meaning of life is to grow and become love. He discussed the importance of making choices without regret, learning from mistakes, and letting other people be who they are. Campbell also argued that the current materialistic ethic leads to selfishness and hierarchy, and that society needs to shift toward an ethic of caring, sharing, and cooperation. He described meditation as a tool to quiet the mind and access deeper knowledge, and said that the future of humanity is on the verge of significant spiritual growth accelerated by information technology.
