In this episode, Steven T. Newcomb and Peter d’Errico explore how quantum physics offers a fresh way to understand the idea of free existence. Drawing on the insights of physicist Federico Faggin and philosopher Hans Busstra, they examine how concepts like indeterminacy and entanglement challenge the rigid, mechanical worldview that shaped the domination system brought from Christendom to Turtle Island.

The conversation traces how colonial powers misread Indigenous Peoples’ non-dominational ways of life, how federal anti-Indian law grew from that mindset, and how domination shaped everyday concepts such as time, space, matter, and number. By contrasting quantum openness with imposed structures like time zones, they highlight what was lost—and what remains possible—when Indigenous free existence is recognized on its own terms.

This episode invites listeners to rethink existence itself and to see how new stories can open pathways beyond domination.

Topics include:

• Quantum theory and the meaning of free existence
• How colonizers misunderstood Indigenous relational life
• Time zones and the mechanics of domination
• Space, time, matter, number as tools of control
• Why federal anti-Indian law is a continuation of civilization’s story
• How Indigenous Peoples respond rather than submit to imposed narratives
