In this episode, we explore how reality is interpreted through the lens of a software engineer, using analogies from coding and programming. From understanding the layers of abstraction in our perception to diving into consciousness models, we discuss how interpretations shape our experience of life. Learn how emotions, intentions, and interpersonal interactions influence our reality, and discover the potential to rewrite your mental programming for personal growth. If you’ve ever wondered how your “reality parser” works, this conversation is for you.
