Lisa Bruder Interview | Retro Episode 3

Listen in as our guest, Lisa Bruner, a Reality Hacker, enlightens us with her captivating ideas about reality being a game and us playing out avatars in a holographic simulation. Lisa opens up about her views on the multiverse, how it is incredibly organized and efficient, and her belief that we are playing through every possible variation of ourselves. We also chat about popular cultural references like Rick and Morty and the anime show Sword Art Online that have touched upon this concept. Our conversation also turns to the concept of amnesia when we come into this game, and the idea that being in a physical body is akin to an acid trip.

Our discussion with Lisa continues as we navigate through the exciting world of reality hacking. We talk about built-in exits for those seeking to explore and how to interact with reality through personal gameplay. Mark shares his journey of going through major arcana and Lisa shares strategies to prune and sandbox the game. We further discuss the trend of people wanting to destroy everything and start over, possibly due to frustrations with institutional solutions. We also talk about the art of information scavenging and how Lisa uses a fifth-dimensional space with virtual reality to ‘mine for gold’ in the sea of information.

As we wrap up our conversation with Lisa, we explore a range of topics including recording results and experimentation in hacking, workshops on hacking reality with partners, spoon bending parties and quantum reality, and the research in virtual reality and parallel worlds. We also discuss Lisa’s experience with VR meditation and the potential risks of reality hacking. Finally, we touch on the importance of fostering a safe and supportive environment for people to share their reality hacking knowledge. We hope you enjoy this riveting journey into the world of reality hacking with Lisa Bruner!
