Federico Faggin is a physicist, inventor and entrepreneur and a highly spiritual person. He’s famous for  developing the silicon gate technology in 1968, and designing the Intel 4004, the first commercial microprocessor. At the peak of that success, in 1990 his materialist worldview broke with a spiritual awakening and launched a 20-year exploration into consciousness. Today he pursues the scientific study of consciousness, unafraid to challenge mainstream scientific dogmas and push the envelope on humankind, our divinity and our relationship with AI and machines. His new book, Beyond the Invisible, is released today. In this conversation, explore consciousness, quantum physics and free will, Scientism as a religion, and why Federico believes survival of the fittest is the biggest lie ever told about who we are. → Please like, comment, share & subscribe, to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
