We are almost fated to have an unhealthy relationship with myth, says @bernardokastrup.bsky.social
Taken literally, these stories lead to fundamentalism. Taken as metaphor they lose their emotional power.
I share some discussion highlights here:

Michael Pollan is one of the world’s most influential science writers. In his latest book, he turns to the nature of consciousness. In this interview, Pollan reflects on why he has come to doubt that materialism can fully account for consciousness.

Don't let the click-bating title fool you: this video shows precisely why AI is NOT a bubble, and why the magnitude of the change that has already happened (let alone that which is still to come) is much higher than our statistics reflect.

Stephen Lester invites us to contemplate the relationship between the seemingly individual self and the world—including other seemingly individual selves—merely as different perspectives within a continuous, conscious ecosystem.

Iain McGilchrist & @bernardokastrup.bsky.social spoke on Tues, clearing up apparent disagreement on the nature of perception - can we know the world as it is, or is it hidden behind a dashboard?
They agreed on idealism & daimsons but disagree about time:

Dr. Koch argues that, because AI computers have a structure very reminiscent of the human cerebellum—which is empirically known not to be involved in human consciousness—we have no reason to expect AI computers to have a conscious inner life of their own.

Perhaps our most personal conversation to date, @bernardokastrup.bsky.social confronts the lived experience of idealism through dream analysis, navigating chronic pain & toxic families even as life bursts forth with its boundless creativity.
www.withrealityinmind.com/living-ideal...
They agree consciousness is primary. But is experience immediate, or perceived? @bernardokastrup.bsky.social and Iain McGilchrist discuss time, meaning, beauty and truth this coming Tues 7th, online:

Prof. Karl Friston is the most cited neuroscientist in the world. In this conversation with Hans Busstra, Friston touches on the metaphysics of his theory, which surprisingly points to non-dualism instead of materialism, as widely assumed.

Some reflections on yesterday's meeting with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social - reconciling archetypes, synchronicity and causality, the meaning behind the astounding universality of maths, and the limits of analysis, including analytic idealism.

3) ...This is what you get when you elect the deranged village idiot thinking everyone else warning against it is deluded. Now we all pay the price. Great job. The world must decouple completely from the USA. No one can afford that level of insanity and instability.
2) ...it was obvious before his first term, in-your-face obvious at the end of that term, and ridiculously obvious during the campaign preceding his second term. ...

Moreira invites us into a long meditation on the meaning of digital spaces, and the possibility of finding another in the endless cacophony of simulacra. In the digital void, he argues, kindness is the only bridge that can survive simulation.

Tomorrow with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social we discuss "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences", Gödel's incompleteness theorems and could maths be, in some sense, the grammar of consciousness?

Today, more than six years later, we’re seeing the twist flip in the EU. Better later than never. We could have saved those six years if we had listened to @bernardokastrup.bsky.social

Dr. Nicolas Rouleau argues that the transmissive theory of consciousness may actually be more consistent with emerging scientific insights. He also talks about the idea that science may be searching for mind in too restricted a place by focusing almost exclusively on neurons.

This is one of the most graceful things YouTube has ever put in front of my eyes. What extraordinary sensitivity and subtlety, perfection in so many different ways. Truly exquisite. I'm watching it on a loop.

The search for authenticity fails because we conduct it in the wrong place: thought itself. The epistemic gap—the inability of concepts to capture experiential reality—produces the persistent sense that something fundamental about existence is amiss.

@bernardokastrup.bsky.social discusses the state of the debate on physicalism & consciousness and his predictions for the future
youtu.be/IJtcx8FaoW4
Based on many private discussions with academics, @bernardokastrup.bsky.social's view is that 'there is not one serious defender of materialism left' & this will be accepted mainstream thinking within 10-20 years
We discuss the future and past of idealism:
