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.

Physicalism vs Idealism: Is Information Fundamental? | James Glattfelder, Ph.D

Distinguished physicist, complexity scientist, and author of "The Sapient Cosmos", James Glattfelder, Ph.D., takes us on a journey in understanding the historical roots of physicalism, and how that paradigm is beginning to fracture. He explains how physicalism is no more than a metaphysical belief, and its premise that the universe is reducible to physical "stuff" is becoming exceedingly false.

James proposes a form of Idealism, called Syncretic Idealism, which aggregates the common threads of other Idealist philosophies into a more cohesive whole. Core fundamentals include a teleological "will to complexity" of the universe, how we channel consciousness as opposed to house it in neurons, and that consciousness is indeed the fundamental substrate of reality.

In this conversation, we cover everything from Chalmers' "Hard Problem of Consciousness", the emergence of complex structures and life, the informational basis of reality, to the latest advancements in quantum physics and the Philosophy of Psychedelics.
