A revisit to a classic early 2021 interview on the nature of reality that has prompted many to question, well, EVERYTHING. Here's the full video, transcript, and more.Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the ‘Casimir Effect‘ of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on Scientific American, the Institute of Art and Ideas, the Blog of the American Philosophical Association and Big Think, among others. Bernardo’s most recent book is The Idea of the World: A multi-disciplinary argument for the mental nature of reality.

This episode from way back in May 2020 bolstered my sense that I've already expressed pretty much everything I want to say about COVID 😂. I think it holds up remarkably well as a discourse on WHY we were (and are) so divided as a people, including on topics as seemingly benign as masking. Here's a link to the original video along with a transcript and links to prior episodes on Jon Haidt's Moral Foundations theory. Have thought or comments?

Author and storytelling expert Johnny B. Truant returns for a discussion on the nature of reality itself: is there an objective world out there that we can directly experience, or is everything we know to be "real" simply a construction...a story? We discuss how sense data is converted into a "world" complete with labels and beliefs, how we might modulate our story to see aspects that are more conducive to happiness and human flourishing, going on a news diet, the nature of the subject of our stories (i.e., no-self realization), why social media and NextDoor in particular can be poisonous to our story-world, and MUCH more.Here's our earlier interview on his book The Story Solution. And here's a deep dive we did on creativity and flow states.
