Some words from @bernardokastrup.bsky.social on the recent topic - seeing without eyes and the challenge to the naturalism of Analytic Idealism

How is it possible that the cerebellum, which contains roughly 80% of all the neurons in the human brain, can be absent without abolishing consciousness? In this conversation, Jeremiah Hendren unpacks Integrated Information Theory, which answers this fascinating mystery.

In this conversation with Hans Busstra, the legendary CPU inventor explains his quantum theory of consciousness in more detail and outlines some of his novel ideas, to be presented in his upcoming new book.

Carney's speech is brilliant. Here is a transcript. I suspect we will be feeling some serious pain in Canada shortly from the reaction

Me neither Bernardo… feel like we are living in an alternate universe
This is literally surreal... I never imagined I would live to see anything even remotely like this...

Michael Levin’s biological robots are defying expectations as he explores the boundaries between the physical and non-physical world. | https://iai.tv/live/science-beyond-the-physical
Join our IAI Live Event on Monday 2nd January to hear Levin discuss his groundbreaking research.
Keep in mind this is not analytic philosophy. Neither is it a formal argument in an academic paper. It is an informal thought experiment, meant to open some avenues of ideation during an informal conversation, not to constitute a strict, internally-consistent chain of reasoning.

In this remarkably observant essay, Brian Fang shows that the mathematics of the ubiquitous Fourier transform—which ties the words of events and frequencies together—provides a formal grammar for understanding how temporality is a facet of eternity.

THOSE OTHERS We lived at the end of an empire. Sometimes we gathered in huge auditoriums and tried to understand. Our shame did not save us, nor our sadness redeem us, as we came to understand how others, far into the future, would look back at us, shaking their heads: we hoped in sorrow; more likely, anger.
“We lived at the end of an empire.”
A thought experiment that allows you to see, for yourself, that everything exists in nothing ;)

We’ve been taught to treat optimism as a moral ideal and pessimism as a flaw; but what if it’s a hidden strength? | https://bit.ly/49t1oE9
Philosopher Ian James Kidd challenges this cultural assumption and uses Buddhist thought to explore forms of pessimism that resist despair.
Nobel Committee announces that "A Nobel Prize cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred" In other words, we're not bending to Donald Trump, and you can't use our prize to kowtow to him.

Trump says that when it comes to Greenland "we will do it the nice way or the difficult way."
Canada is over being nice. We stand with our allies.

Here @bernardokastrup.bsky.social guides two powerful thought experiments which, despite his protestations, place him on a par with any spiritual teacher I've encountered. The conclusion is that everything exists, not in time, not in space, but in you:

Same here in Canada, unbelievable 😔

The familiar quantum probabilities are not arbitrary. They express the best possible way for a particular perspective to summarize a deeper situation it can never see completely. This is how this remarkably accessible essay makes sense of quantum weirdness.

Bill Clinton predicted the Genome Project would transform medicine, yet most common diseases still lack clear genetic causes or cures. | https://bit.ly/4pm0P5p

“Human remains, be they biological or informational, are not meant to be consumed by the ‘morbidly curious’,” argues Carl Ohman. | https://bit.ly/3L9vwMq
Ohman argues that we must regulate technology that threatens our loved ones with digital immortality before it’s too late.

Work in progress today, excited to see how it resolves itself! Interested to hear what you guys see emerging in it :)
