Early life
Warren is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He studied literature at McGill University in Montreal, where he suffered a traumatic injury after falling 30 feet out of a tree, breaking his neck. He claimed that this event spurred his interest in consciousness as it changed his experience of the world and worsened his ADHD.[3][4]
He went on to work as a producer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC Radio) current-affairs radio show, The Current,[5]
He has authored two books along with articles.
He is married to Canadian journalist Sarah Barmak.[6]
