Exploring the convergence of science and spirituality via theoretical physics, consciousness, complexity, information, and philosophy.

My name is Jared Bond, and thank you for joining me on this epic journey. I have dedicated my life to decoding these ontological mysteries, as I believe science is now catching up to what ancient wisdom traditions have been claiming for millennia. It is my goal to distribute this paradigm-shifting knowledge to the lay person in a digestible way, so that everyone can take part in the current scientific revolution and discover their ultimate purpose.

Panpsychism - Understanding Qualia Space & Time | Jacob Jolij, Ph.D

Today we sit down with Jacob Jolij, Ph.D, a cognitive neuroscientist, consciousness researcher, and author who puts forth a novel understanding of consciousness.

Coming from a panpsychist point of view, Jacob posits that we may not need to discard with the laws of physics as we know them to understand consciousness. He diverts from common forms of panpsychism in that his theory doesn’t suggest everything down to an atom, proton, or even a quark are inherently conscious, but rather, perhaps Qualia (conscious experience) space is a physical dimension that information processing systems move through. Perhaps further, there are Qualia associated with no experiences at all for inanimate objects.

A key feature of his approach is that it is potentially falsifiable, meaning it can actually be tested. This is a notable benefit since its a common obstacle for many theories of consciousness. We leave teleology, or the “why”, to the side, and focus more on the practicality of the theory so that it can be squarely examined within the scientific method.

We further touch on topics surrounding parapsychology (I.e. clairvoyance, precognition, telepathy, synchronicity), the multiverse, wave function collapse, and more, so make sure to watch to the end to not miss these fascinating insights.If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe, comment & share to support our future endeavors!
