Description

Meditation is about getting to grips with the way we construct the world.
Today we are delighted to welcome Dr Shamil Chandaria from the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing at University of Oxford.
An expert in his field, Shamil leads us on an investigative journey into predictive processing and its implications for perception and spiritual practice.
Touching on Bayesian models, priors, dereification, Buddhist philosophies, Amor Fati and homeostatic control - our conversation today is packed with delicate and refined observations on the different ways we construct reality.
