Hey Impact Theory family,
This week’s episode is one for the books! I sat down with MIT-trained computer scientist, author, and video game entrepreneur Rizwan Virk to dive deep into one of the most mind-bending questions of our time: Are we living in a simulation?
Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll find in this episode:
Quantum Physics Meets Video Games The episode starts with Tom referencing a ground-breaking scientific discovery: In 2022, Nobel Prize winners confirmed that “the universe is not locally real.” In plain English—reality only “renders” when you observe it, just like in a video game (no, seriously!).
Simulation Hypothesis 101 Rizwan shares how his background in gaming and his research into quantum physics led him to believe that a simulated universe actually makes more sense than a purely physical one. Ever heard of Schrodinger’s cat being both alive and dead until observed? That quantum weirdness is central to Rizwan’s argument for simulation theory.
Memory, Probability, and Purpose The conversation gets wild as Rizwan and I debate ideas like the multiverse, free will, and whether the past is “real” or just rendered on demand. We explore why our universe seems so ‘perfectly tuned’ for life, and whether that supports the idea of some kind of higher intelligence or just infinite trial and error—simulation style.
Ancient Wisdom, Modern Tech Rizwan draws fascinating connections between the world’s mystic traditions (think Hinduism, Buddhism, and even Christianity and Islam) and modern technology. Did you know Eastern religions talk about reality as a “dream” or “illusion”? Rizwan suggests they were describing something akin to a simulation all along but didn’t have the vocabulary we have today.
NPCs vs. Players: Do We Have Free Will? Are we just characters running on autopilot, or are we players choosing our path? Tom and Rizwan tackle the age-old free will debate—contrasting rules-based programming (NPCs) with the possibility of having a “player” or soul controlling our conscious experience from outside the simulation.
Life After Death, Near-Death Experiences & The Game Metaphor From near-death experiences to the idea of a “life review,” this episode explores what happens when the game of life is over. If we are in a simulation, is death game over, or just logging out until next time?
What Does It All Mean for You? Whether you’re skeptical or convinced, the Simulation Hypothesis offers a new framework for thinking about personal challenges, meaning, and the nature of reality itself.

Welcome back to the Tom Bilyeu Show! In this episode, I’m joined by my co-host Drew as we jump straight into the headlines and controversies shaking America right now—most notably, the recent immigration riots that sparked nationwide debate about law, order, and what holds our country together.
Before we get into the serious topics, Drew and I warm things up with some classic banter—everything from movies and workouts to jiu-jitsu—and then we get right into the complex issues at the heart of the news cycle. We talk about government power, media narratives, property rights, and the cultural clashes dividing the nation. I bring in some big-picture context, comparing these events to cycles seen in history, like the fall of the Roman Empire and the perils of late-stage empires, while Drew challenges me with important questions about compassion, resistance, and how marginalized groups are treated in times of upheaval.
Digging even deeper, we cover Ray Dalio’s warning signs about civil conflict, the dangers of runaway debt and economic instability, the rise of populism, and how easily societies can be manipulated when emotions run high. We don’t shy away from the messy, uncomfortable debates—like policing tactics, the responsibilities of leaders, and what it means to have shared values in a melting pot like America.
It’s a raw, honest, and sometimes fiery conversation—exactly the kind of discussion I think we need right now. If you want perspective, challenge, and a no-spin look at what’s really going on behind the headlines, you won’t want to miss this episode of the Tom Bilyeu Show.

Welcome to The Tom Bilyeu Show! In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to tackle some of the most urgent and complex issues facing our world today. We kick things off with the explosive news of Ukraine’s successful drone strike deep inside Russian territory—a move that Russia is calling its own “Pearl Harbor”—and unpack what that really means for global stability and the escalating rhetoric surrounding nuclear threats.
From there, we don’t pull any punches as we dig into America’s controversial “big beautiful bill.” I break down why inflation and deficit spending isn’t just political theater but the backbone (and Achilles’ heel) of our entire economic system, and why both sides of the aisle seem trapped by its logic.
But we don’t stop with geopolitics and economics. Drew and I analyze everything from alleged Chinese bioterror plots on U.S. soil to the ethics of wartime escalation, how tech giants like Meta and Microsoft are playing the long game by locking down access to nuclear power, and even ask the big philosophical questions around morality, politics, and the way social media spins the narrative.
If you’ve ever wanted to understand how power, strategy, and human psychology intersect on the world’s biggest stages—or if you’re just looking to make sense of the madness behind modern headlines—you’re going to want to strap in for this conversation.

On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, we take a deep dive into the shadowy world of global intelligence, power, and leverage with former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante. Together, Tom and Andrew unpack the real stories behind headlines like Jeffrey Epstein, the release of classified files, and notorious geopolitical events—from spy balloons to the intricate power plays in Russia, China, and the Middle East.
Andrew reveals the hidden strategies intelligence agencies use to shape public perception, control narratives, and wield secrets as weapons of influence. They explore the uncomfortable truth about “moral flexibility” at the highest levels—how governments and power brokers sidestep good and evil in favor of outcomes and leverage. You’ll hear jaw-dropping real-world examples, from possible government involvement in historical events like the Lusitania, to how modern conflicts are manipulated behind the scenes.
Expect hard-hitting dialogue about mass psychology, the deception of appearances, and how nation-states navigate today’s powder keg of global crises. Andrew’s insights force us to question what we believe, whether we’re living inside illusions, and how much our own sense of morality is actually shaped by the systems around us.
If you want to learn how the world really works—and why the truth is often too useful to reveal—don’t miss this eye-opening, thought-provoking episode.

In today’s thought-provoking deep dive, Tom tackles a provocative question: What if the very things we’ve been told are destroying our system – waste, fraud, and abuse – are actually the glue holding it all together? Using compelling analogies and referencing both modern monetary theory and historical perspectives from Machiavelli, Tom reveals the foundational flaws in America’s economic and political system. He explores why deficit spending isn’t just common, but required, and exposes how our reliance on debt has created a cycle that keeps the rich getting richer and the poor falling further behind.
From biblical wisdom to the hidden mechanics of the Federal Reserve, this episode challenges everything you thought you knew about power, politics, and the economy. Tom dissects the real reasons behind recent political theater — including the rise and fall of Doge and Elon Musk’s controversial moves — and warns about the dangerous cliff our system is heading toward. If you want to understand the true motivations driving politicians and what it will really take to change the system for the better, don’t miss this episode. Strap in for a mind-bending journey down the rabbit hole with Tom Bilyeu.

Welcome back to The Tom Bilyeu Show! In this episode, I dive into a whirlwind week of global headlines with my co-host Drew, dissecting everything from the political circus to the latest tremors in the financial world. We kick things off discussing Elon Musk’s attempt—and ultimate step back—from government reform, explore the viral moment of Macron getting checked on camera by his own wife, and take a closer look at why politics often feels like a game of power rather than progress.
I also unpack why moves like Ron DeSantis making gold and silver legal tender in Florida could be more seismic for our monetary system than most people realize. Drew and I wade deep into Bitcoin’s run towards new all-time highs, the warning signs flashing from the Japanese yen, and even the unsettling rise of AI systems that are starting to scheme and strategize on their own—sometimes even working to outwit their creators.
Later, we reflect on a viral video of a Starbucks employee breaking down after a tough shift, sparking a raw conversation about resilience, generational attitudes toward hard work, and what it really takes to build mental toughness in today’s world.
This episode is a fast-paced, honest, and sometimes hilarious journey through the real stories driving the news—and what they mean for your future. If you want to get a handle on the deeper forces shaping economics, technology, and culture—and how to protect yourself and thrive—don’t miss this one.
