  • Hello Tom, from Aussie guy.

    I really hope to meet you Tom; though I’m from Australia. We think the same and reason the same. I’ve always intuited, we could be close friends.

    Your show and teachings are of great benefit.

    From Carl, a singer songwriter from Australia.

  • Drop Drew

    Can’t listen to him! No value add and can’t simply listen…forced to drop immediately once I hear that voice. Tom is solid 5, Drew 0, rounded down to a 2. Rounded down to a 1 hearing him make more asinine, emotional and non-logical comments. I guess I need to just fast forward whenever he talks? Why is he in your show? So bad!

  • Highly recommend.

    Long time listener - first time reviewer :). Over the last year, I have gone from to listening to Tom and his team sporadically to waiting for the next episode to drop. His balanced evaluation of economics, AI and other technology, and current politics makes me feel more confident in understanding what is going on in the world today. Highly recommend.

  • Clear and unvarnished

    This podcast is often like bad tasting medicine. Or a bitter pill. Not a lot of sugar coating. The gems are actionable. In other words, this podcast tells you things you can DO. Cannot recommend more highly or I’d give it 6 stars.

  • The show used to be amazing

    Now- not so much. Such low effort slop these days. The original impact theory episodes were so well researched and genuinely life changing. Can’t listen to them now

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

America Is 8 Million Jobs Short — And It's Getting Worse
Q: How did the 2021-2022 inflation come about mechanistically?
It was driven by a supply shock where demand rebounded faster than supply could respond due to pandemic disruptions; this imbalance pushed prices higher while incomes lagged, creating a fundamental misalignment that persisted as the economy reopened and policy responses lagged.
America Is 8 Million Jobs Short — And It's Getting Worse
Q: What signals do you look at to assess the economy beyond the stock market?
I focus on the yield curve and debt dynamics, including how the curve behaves, what it implies about future growth, and how debt and deficits interact with inflation expectations; the stock market often misleads because it reflects investor sentiment rather than the real economy.
Decoding Economic Warfare, Global Transition, Who is Satoshi and How YOU Can Escape the Cage | Impact Theory W. Tom Bilyeu & Simon Dixon
Q: Why is Bitcoin considered an off-ramp according to your view?
Because it enables sovereign control over money without needing a central bank or government permission, offering a path to reduce dependence on debt-based systems and traditional financial intermediaries.
Unlocking Reality: Donald Hoffman on Consciousness, Simulations, and the Limits of Space-Time | Impact Theory
Q: What do you hope to achieve with the Trace Institute?
To formalize theorems about trace logic and observers, develop practical algorithms and software proofs, and enable reverse engineering of headset-like models that could illuminate deeper aspects of space, time, and consciousness within a few years.
Unlocking Reality: Donald Hoffman on Consciousness, Simulations, and the Limits of Space-Time | Impact Theory
Q: Do you think artificial intelligence could become conscious under your framework?
If consciousness is a fundamental aspect of reality and not solely a product of neural hardware, then AI could be considered a form of consciousness when it adopts an appropriate observer-like structure, though the current material substrates and the models we use may limit that emergence until the proper mathematical and observational framework is realized.
