Guest: George Williams, PhD
George Williams, PhD focuses on theories and research of what psi data can tell us about the nature of consciousness. One of his main theories is the FIIT (Filter Integrated Information Theory), which states that the brain is a filter of our consciousness. It does not create our consciousness.
George has a wide, interdisciplinary background. As an undergraduate, he studied engineering at Vanderbilt, then worked at IBM for 8 years. He switched to a different direction and studied literature at Maharishi International University, where he also became very curious about the notion of group consciousness. Then, the pursued a doctorate in economics at Northwestern University. Since the late 90s, he has worked as an economist in a government agency.
