Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-20 00:00:00 Timothy Zimmer There have probably been many books claiming to be promulgate a 'Theory Of Everything'. which is a subject that holds fascination for scientists, philosophers and sophists alike. This one submits a model of reality that is expressed in a language of western rationality in general, and computer science/ digital physics in particular. Being someone of that ilk/ pre-disposition, I would rate this as one of the most important books I have read, to date. Among many other things, the book has helped me define the core 'Objective function' for myself - the continuous improvement of the quality of consciousness. The simplicity and clarity of that objective function is highly liberating, and almost heralds the beginning of a new chapter. The ToE is constructed through a few meta-themes, which are: 1) Beliefs and self-imposed limitations 2) Ideas from the edge 3) Education , learning and personal growth 4) Wisdom (distinguished from knowledge) 5) Fear, ego and delusion 6) Truth, science and logic Most fundamentally, the author contends that the path has to be walked, not just read of intellectualized on.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-10 00:00:00 Jerrad Mills I had to devote 3x as many man hours to read this, as I did to read War and Peace. It took 3 months, or more ominously 1/4 of a year. And it was worth it. Even though sometimes I wanted to fling this fantastically heavy thing at my dog, door or disengaged friends, I always managed to keep it in my hand. Then the next day I would pick it up again and start where I left off. What I got from this book, is that I'll need just about a lifetime to discern whether what is said in My Big TOE is hogwash, or stuff that is actually true but so marginalized by our scientific society, that it stands no chance on a fair playing field. I'm not even going to get into what Campbell talks about about. I'm sure other reviewers have. I will, however, say that regardless of your thoughts on the subject, it is worth reading it. There is more knowledge in there than could be packed into five hundred hours of television. Or five thousand, or any finite amount (Depending on the program, of course). And even if you don't like any of the far out stuff, you will still most likely appreciate the way Campbell scientifically attacks questions. And the way he encourages you as a reader to scientifically attack his writing and theories. He says "This is what I think. Now, you think about this, go out and test it in the real world. And see if you think I'm full of it, or if what I say is the truth." Very interesting, very fulfilling. Best of all! When you done with it, you can use it as a doorstop. Or maybe to break a window and loot a shop, the possibilities are endless.
