...and what happens when 2 people see the same thing, but interpret it differently. What happens to the wave function THEN??

The ONLY WAY consciousness can collapse the wave function is if, YOU'RE the only person in the game. There are OTHERS witnessing the same thing. So just WHO'S consciousness collapses it??

OMG FINALLY, SWEET!!! I've bee DYING for someone to REALLY investigate this for 13yrs!! This TOTALLY needs to be checked out!!

What about DREAMing for BEST case scenarios......🫂🦸🏼‍♀️🪄👣💤🌀💦³🩵🪷🧠💗

I have the answer

How to become a shaman. Never a truer word spoken. From hamster-consciousness to hari krishnerman. Snakebit from a token. Black lives matter. Mohammed and his blessings but what a childhood oy vey. Did you see his wife recently? Stunning what a picture she puts Christian in the missionary

I think Joshua Rasmussen was being very disingenuous in this interview, hiding the fact that he's starting from an evangelical Christian faith perspective. That was obvious to me from the beginning, but Daniel Kaufman seemed to be oblivious to it.

Because you have to have these types of discussions it just shows there is a contradiction. Thanks for making it so confusing All knowing God.

Very limited knowledge or discussion of all the ways mindfulness can be applied. That said- the wellness industry in general is crap consumerism.

Q. If nothing ever happened, no cause or effects, no events at all. Would time still exist? Or is time simply an artifact to measure a series of events as they occur?

Why dont they just set up a camera to record the measurement with no one in the room? If the wave collapses still, then it's just the act if measuring. If it's still there, then consciousness, or internalized observation is involved.

We have to love ourselves before we can love others

I think a civilization advanced beyond death AND with that beyond emotions. Those go hand in hand. To break up the monotony of forever, they go into a hyper realistic simulator with pain, suffering, emotions, mortality and live a life just as we are now.

Nirvana.

Why have a guest on the show if you’re never going to let him speak 😅😅😅😅

Sam Harris is dead wrong

Brilliant discussion, thank you

Not all women have children.

No..........., not fully accurate even in the first five minutes.

Very enjoyable and informative ... thank you

Why can’t we all have such discussions, putting aside that few are as intelligent and well spoken on the subject as these two? Great debate/discussion. I sit on Sam Harris side of the argument.

Seems inefficient, if not stupefying, not to think of other things while your walking or sitting, etc. And she divorced another meditation teacher? What gives?

Seems like the bait is the loss of suffering. The switch is you just get to look at suffering long and more closely, and describe it more charitably, if pretentiously. Kinda lame. Anyway, sorry this is 4 years late but I'm half way through Bob's book now, and came to her part. Anyway, giving the book a 5/10, her testimony here a 2.

Why did she change her name? Oh, Kundalini, lol, interesting cult. Did you know they literally chant Satans name? So weird

Is she liberated? Sounds like no. Same as Joseph Goldstein. Lot of double talk in this religion. Anyone else notice?

How in the world can he say rebirth is not easily naturalized?! The rebirth of egoic delusion or appropriative grasping happens even multiple times within one day of living life, not to mention a week, a month, a year or a decade. Rebirth is one of the easiest ideas to psychologize and thus naturalize. Not sure how one does not see that.

Can I be a a physycysist?

Physics is dull.

Evidently she and Ram Dass' guru hasn't read the Vedas. In it, it's clear that spirituality most certainly came to India in the form of a substance as well. Seems to me meditation has been riding psychedelics skirttails ever since. Not to say meditation is of no value, but this whole self-annihilation talk, and having "a separate self you put forward" makes Buddhism sound like an acquired dissociative disorder. I can't help but notice that enlightenment seems a fool's errand. And, obviously, meditation retreats didn't stop Goenka from overeating.

Nowhere in the Bible is universal salvation taught. Quite the opposite even from the mouth of Jesus himself.

Bob the Nonzero party candidate? Slogan: It’s all negotiable!

Always fun to hear from these apostates

Spirit of Judas...www were all in...Huck Tuck soft disclosed....Tman talk to The Queen of Heaven.

It's all a delusion. Blackrock-Larry Fink is running the USA.

So, I _am_ some weird guy who "just woke up thinking this" (prior to philosophical training), and even after digging into these concepts for years I still have the same questions. How do oughts obtain stance-independently? What could that even mean? You don't even need to say, "I _deny_ that oughts are doing anything." The realist is not substantiating normativity, or even a fictionalist utility of normativity (and of course they couldn't promote the latter). What does an antirealist need to do to get an explanation beyond simply, "it seems like moral normativity is non-naturalistically real"? Antirealism is exhaustively explanatory and elegant. It also seems more accurate. It makes me question myself constantly to see that realism is the majority view among so many well-respected thinkers in philosophy. I agree entirely with the notion that realist terminology is simply rhetorical persuasion speech acts based in wishful confidence.

If I remember right this dude is creepy.

agree its bad news. i doubt aliens want to hang out w us having observed us. aaand what do they make of what they observe. here's the likely situation, some humans have had contact w aliens in an official capacity and were admonished to never confirm their existence to society or humanity will face mortal consequences. what if those who are denying their existence and running interference against disclosure are actually saving humanity from destruction?

I find him an annoying interviewer

I recently asked ChatGPT to create the rules to the game of life. The parameters I gave it were that the aim of the game is to evolve, the rules can be made up as you go along and the game board is infinite in all dimensions. The resulting conversation was quite profound! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJZ5g86r3sq8YoE.htmlsi=vq-G3WjxbHRxopuF

Every complex problem has a complex and imperfect solution. There will always be unsatisfied people on both sides, leading to a continuation of the debate and perhaps creating a new conflict. We're screwed...

This one's incredibly good of Sam.

Resting pouty face.

Thanks. That's as clear as it gets when it comes to Whitehead philosophy and theology. 👍🥹

“When we want to believe something, we ask ourselves, "Can I believe it?" Then, we search for supporting evidence, and if we find even a single piece of pseudo-evidence, we can stop thinking. We now have permission to believe. We have justification, in case anyone asks. In contrast, when we don't want to believe something, we ask ourselves, "Must I believe it?" Then we search for contrary evidence, and if we find a single reason to doubt the claim, we can dismiss it.” ― Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion

George W Bush Dallas 2016 Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions. And this has strained our bonds of understanding and common purpose. But Americans, I think, have a great advantage. To renew our unity, we only need to remember our values. We have never been held together by blood or background. We are bound by things of the spirit, by shared commitments to common ideals.
