    1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis
    Nov 13 2025
    Reality might be rendered, not real. The Simulation Hypothesis author Rizwan Virk explains this wild idea and why even physicists take it seriously.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1239What We Discuss with Rizwan Virk:The simulation hypothesis suggests our physical reality is actually a computer-generated virtual world like The Matrix, but potentially without any "real" versions of ourselves existing elsewhere outside the simulation.Some fundamental limits in physics — like the speed of light and quantum indeterminacy — could be computational features rather than bugs, suggesting the universe operates more like a sophisticated program with rendering constraints than pure physics.If we can build realistic simulations ourselves, the odds we're already in one increase dramatically to 99% — because any civilization older than ours would likely have already created countless nested simulations.We're approximately 70% of the way to building Matrix-level simulations ourselves, with AI advancing faster than expected and brain-computer interfaces developing rapidly — potentially achieving this within 50-100 years rather than millennia.Whether or not we're in a simulation, the important question is how we play within it — curiosity, humility, and treating each other well matter regardless of whether reality is "real" or rendered, making the ethical implications more significant than the metaphysical ones.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

    1238: Ken Burns | What If the American Revolution Isn't Over?
    Nov 11 2025
    The American Revolution isn't over — it just changed uniforms. Documentary legend Ken Burns explains why we're still debugging an experiment from 1776.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1238What We Discuss with Ken Burns:America's origin was born from division, not unity. Ken Burns argues the US was born from violence and division, not unity. The Revolutionary War was a brutal civil war with brother fighting brother, not a clean myth of freedom and fireworks.The Revolution is an ongoing experiment. Ken sees the Revolution as the start of a political experiment still being debugged 250 years later. It's not a finished story but a continuous process of living up to founding ideals.Contradictions compose the country's core. The Revolution's hypocrisy is staggering: freedom built on slavery, liberty denied to women and Native peoples, idealism mixed with self-interest. These contradictions remain eerily familiar today.Good storytelling transcends politics. Ken found that compelling narratives neutralize binary thinking. His Vietnam documentary avoided expected backlash because a good story makes people say "I didn't know that" rather than taking sides.History is an active conversation. History isn't fixed answers, but an ongoing dialogue with the past. By listening closely, we can ask ourselves if we're living up to the promises made — and continue writing that unfinished story.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

  • 1237: Light Pollution | Skeptical Sunday

    1237: Light Pollution | Skeptical Sunday
    Nov 9 2025
    Humans have managed to pollute darkness itself. Jessica Wynn explains how artificial light erases stars and harms wildlife and health on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1237On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Light pollution is excessive artificial light that goes where it's not needed — and it's spreading fast. The night sky is brightening 7-10% every year, and 80% of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way from where they live.About 30% of outdoor artificial light spills wastefully into the sky instead of illuminating the ground. We traded the stars for street lights without considering the cost — losing not just dark skies, but our connection to the cosmos.Light pollution disrupts circadian rhythms and melatonin production, contributing to insomnia, depression, obesity, diabetes, and even increased cancer risk. Blue-rich LED light at night is particularly harmful to human health and well-being.Wildlife suffers dramatically from artificial light — migrating birds crash into illuminated buildings, sea turtle hatchlings head toward cities instead of the ocean, and insect populations are decimated. Even marine ecosystems are disrupted.The good news? Light pollution is reversible. Use shielded, downward-facing fixtures, choose warmer LED colors (under 3000K), install timers and motion sensors, and support dark sky initiatives. Turn off unnecessary lights — reclaiming darkness also reclaims wonder.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

How I found Jordan, I do not know. But I am so glad that I did. He is one of the best interviewers I have ever heard and his guests are always top-notch and extremely interesting. His easy conversational style, knowledge of his guest's area of expertise make EVERY podcast better than the next. If asked which is my favorite, my answer is ALL OF THEM.

One of the best!

I've been a long time listener. I love the range of topics. Jordan and Gab are probably some of the few people on the planet that can have an actual qualitative, objective interview with anybody. Jordan is thorough and the conversations are always interesting...pick an episode and get addicted!

LOVE this podcast!

I listen to this show every day! There are so many different topics to choose from, and the feedback episodes further the variety even more. All interviewees are very intelligent, and Jordan interviews them in a way that allows them to tell their stories in thoughtful ways. The humor of Jordan and guests is authentic and lightens some of the darker topics in a respectful way. He is very neutral with his political views so as not to have the show lean any particular way. The show has introduced me to new topics and information that I share in day-to-day conversations.

Easygoing, Educational, and Entertaining
