Agnostic Explorations of The Miracle of Consciousness and Hope: A Discussion With Sam Zito
After a Sunday Brunch at Lisa Carley's friend Joel Lesses' house, on his Two Schmoes Sanctuary patio, Lisa and Sam had an ongoing conversation into the afternoon and evening where a suggestion was made to throw down a phone and record the discussion.
Topics of this conversation include travel (i.e., Ireland and India), philosophy, humanity's limitations and failures, and the desire to seek a 'hive-mind' for all people, constructively benefiting all members of our society and community.
Lisa and Sam explore how to dissect the makeup of human life and what drives this dialogue, this exploration.
Shifting to morals and ethics, are they relevant in our World, in our Life?
If so, 'How?!,' 'Why?!'
A framework of understanding brought the notion that 'We only know the answers to the questions we are asking,' so the question becomes, 'are we asking the right questions?'
What is the nature of 'Consciousness?'
What about 'Free Will?'
What is it to examine or look at our consciousness?
Sam feels that while drawn to the mystical, he also holds himself back from it, because the mystical can be taken too far.
All Scientist began as philosophers.
All Physical Science began out of Philosophy.
Is openness or an open mind a sign of brillance.
Is there always a causal relationship in human behavior, a reason for it?
Discussion turned to the book Sapiens, and the documentary Unknown: The Cave of Bones.
'There are some questions we will never know the answers to.'
The phone recording ended without Sam or Lisa knowing it and Agnostic Explorations of The Miracle of Consciousness and Hope winds down an evening of conversation special and sanctified.
