Just finished fantastic interview with a famous neuroscientist who's had a mystical experience that's persuaded him that consciousness is everywhere...anyone want to guess who that is????
The video of the interview will be on my Substack in couple of weeks.

This conversation with a cosmologist might be helpful to those wanting to understand exactly what I mean when I say the universe is conscious.
As an astrophysicist I did enjoy this (I'm seeing it as Universe="God"). Is it then satisfactory that the conscious universe can't/hasn't changed it's mind/done anything since this moment of choice ~at the Big Bang? Talking about limitations is one thing but why have constants been same since ~t=0?

My friend @disagreeableme.bsky.social did not formally study philosophy. We made friends arguing on X when he was living on the other side of the world in New Zealand. We disagree about everything but it was constructive. Then his partner got a job at Durham.. philpapers.org/rec/OBRTCO-6

Christian apologists online very often conflate purpose and value. There could be great value in living even if there’s no ultimate purpose.

I think this book will shape how historians describe the present political moment.
Started reading The Fraud, and it is abundantly clear that the Labour Party was hollowed out by a cabal of right-wing corporatised infiltrators who clearly despise the left so much that they committed serious crimes to fulfil their goals of total capture of the party and betrayal of their members.
