The Quantum Monk at the Final Table — Thoughts on Poker, Faith, and the Nature of Reality

Science Fiction Author D. Colin Palmer returns with a far‑out meditation on poker theory, consciousness, and the strange symmetry between mathematics and mysticism. In this episode, he explores how Game Theory Optimal play becomes a kind of modern Zen—where Buddhism’s detachment, Quantum Mechanics’ uncertainty, and Nietzsche’s will‑to‑power merge into one disciplined philosophy of competition. It’s not just about winning hands; it’s about understanding the waveform of existence itself. A reflection on stillness, strategy, and what it means to face the infinite with a chip stack and a calm heart.
