Bernardo Kastrup returns to the mind meld! Bernardo is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work leads the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. Bernardo holds two Ph.Ds, one in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another in computer engineering. He's the author of several books including Science Ideated, Why Materialism Is Baloney, and Decoding Jung's Metaphysics. In this one, we muse about consciousness, the nature of reality, the philosophy of Carl Jung the, UFO / UAP phenomenon, whether or not AI can become sentient, and much more.
