What if your brain is less like a truth detector and more like a belief-confirming machine? In this episode, we dive into one of Robert Anton Wilson’s most potent mind-bombs: the Thinker-Prover dynamic from Prometheus Rising.

Your Thinker forms beliefs. Your Prover goes out and finds the evidence. Whatever you believe—threat or magic, doom or synchronicity—your Prover will prove it. That’s not just metaphor; it’s the engine behind your reality tunnel.

We explore:

  • The brain as a bio-computer with confirmation bias
  • Reality tunnels and how they’re built
  • Belief as a tool—not a truth
  • How to practice belief engineering as a path to freedom

This isn’t about being right—it’s about being free. About wielding belief like a magician, not wearing it like a leash.
Listen now and install a new lens. Reality’s more malleable than you think.
