Lincoln Stoller is physicist, mountaineer, software engineer, hypnotherapist, psychotherapist, and author. In this wide-ranging and personal conversation Lincoln shares his lifelong pursuit of truth across disciplines while navigating institutional resistance, personal setbacks, and the messy realities of creativity and human psychology.Lincoln discusses submitting a physics paper that challenges quantum mechanics conventions and the ego-driven blowback it received. He argues that science often prioritizes institutional preservation, funding, and reputation over genuine inquiry. He contrasts practical, experimental physics with academic legacy-building (e.g., decades of fusion research with little progress) and emphasizes that creativity requires stubbornness, tolerance for failure, and resilience against "bad teachers" and closed-minded experts.**Chapters (with approximate timestamps less accurate than the youtube version due to truncation of silence here)**0:00 Introduction & Welcome0:43 Lincoln's Current Overwhelm: Physics Paper Rejection & Moral Obligation to Respond1:30 Who Is Lincoln Stoller?

I ended up looking outward... wanting to get answers and wanting to connect."- On creativity and institutions: "To be creative means there's a lot of monkeying around... you have to be okay with failing."- On science and ego: "You're not going to get a mathematical rebuttal... You're going to get an ego rebuttal."- On dreams: "Dreams... exist to disintegrate your world... They confront me with what I don't know."- On therapy vs. physics: "Psychotherapy is a welcome relief. You get to deal with other people's problems and you get to criticize and judge and get paid for it."- Final reflection: "We're all stupid... You really have to try to improve yourself... consider yourself as a garden that needs to be tended."The conversation flows into Lincoln’s marriages and recurring dream figures (parents and ex-wives), the value of dreamwork over psychedelics, alternative education models like Sudbury/Summerhill schools, the sociobiology of motherhood, hypnosis (suggestive vs. exploratory, and its broader cultural role), and practical parenting advice: give children more autonomy, real consequences, and community exposure rather than helicopter oversight.https://www.mindstrengthbalance.com is Lincoln's site where you can find his books (including free "Dreaming Yourself into Being" for blog subscribers), hypnotic audio, and brain training resources. The episode ends with a call for self-work, courage in therapy, and cultivating wisdom.https://www.facebook.com/lincolnstollerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lincolnstollerhttps://mindstrengthbalance.substack.com
