Professor of Biology Denis Noble, best known for creating the first mathematical model of a beating cardiac cell, proposes a profound shift in how we understand life. https://t.co/OyeM1J1AHX

The familiar quantum probabilities are not arbitrary. They express the best possible way for a particular perspective to summarize a deeper situation it can never see completely. This is how this accessible essay makes sense of quantum weirdness. https://t.co/42ylozHrSX

Nora Bateson is a filmmaker, author and director of the Bateson Institute. In this conversation, Hans Busstra talks to Nora about her work and that of her father Gregory Bateson, who was one of the founding fathers of cybernetics. https://t.co/uBzTfM6lCv

Dr. Matt Colborn argues that, by denying the objective reality of what appears to us as the physical world out there, materialist cognitive science renders its own metaphysical assumptions untenable. https://t.co/nPwKpPb6U1

Dr. Kelvin McQueen, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Chapman University, examines the leading quantum-consciousness theories and the unresolved questions that still hinder them all: what exactly is collapse, and what counts as a measurement? https://t.co/aXgVpHNeqp

Brian Fang discusses why mathematics developed without empirical motivation turned out to precisely describe the physical patterns of nature: Nature is itself the expression of mind-like structures also directly present in the human intellect. https://t.co/Aeyahe9LLE

We did it, and it was a blast! Our invitation-only 2025 conference may have been a seminal moment, a first step on the road to science's first predictive theory of the noumena. Thanks everyone for participating and contributing so much! #EssentiaFoundation #engelbergswitzerland

In this remarkably Schopenhauerian essay, Arthur Haswell argues that a world where consciousness is fundamental may still be a world of suffering; even fundamental suffering. https://t.co/CGpmjbmtTc

David Lloyd invites us to see form as an expression of feeling, a notion whereby the physical world becomes the geometric expression of inner emotion, carrying—or, better yet, mirroring—in its patterns the qualitative structures of feeling. https://t.co/APkbgr2Rs8

What even IS reality? In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Dr. Bernardo Kastrup (Executive Director of the Essentia Foundation: @EssentiaFounda1, CEO of AI company Euclyd B.V., and the leading voice behind the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism)

What if you are a pixel in a higher-level consciousness navigating through extra dimensions of time? Meet the ‘Nested Observer Window Model’ of Jonathan Schooler, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences UCSB. https://t.co/Oirw7vapZR

In this thought experiment mixed with science fiction and serious futurism, eminent neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch sketches a not-so-distant future in which we will be tempted by the promise of eternal life in an AI cloud. https://t.co/XpdyZDdZ95

Physicist and physician Dr. Anita Goel has designed the equivalent of the double slit experiment in a living system, to test if the nanomachines that read and write DNA could operate quantum mechanically. https://t.co/s6UJSSz66c

While Prof. Torday agrees that quantum mechanics is salient to consciousness, he maintains that the the cell membrane is key to the selective assimilation of the quantum properties of the cosmos into the differentiated consciousness of the organism. https://t.co/unJGvSQ3Uo

Physicist and neuroscientist Dr. Alex Gómez-Marín delivered a strikingly activist speech at the Science of Consciousness Conference. He argued that we are now in a war on consciousness, with materialism and trans-humanism forming a dangerous cocktail. https://t.co/GAcKD7eHzU

@EssentiaFounda1 asked Closer to Truth's Robert Lawrence Kuhn to share his personal ideas and insights into consciousness studies in this illuminating interview

Moreira argues that Camus made a crucial mistake: in revolting against an absurd world, he wasted his emotions on a rock. What sustains us is not proud intellectual faith against absurdity, but the humility and vulnerability of doubt and uncertainty. https://t.co/zE0tSABeqa

This one comes with a big reveal! Robert Lawrence Kuhn, creator and host of the renowned documentary series “Closer to Truth," has been careful to remain neutral in his published work. But here he shares which theories of consciousness he finds plausible. https://t.co/LAcDFD9nBz

In this interview, Dr. David Acunzo, from the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia, talks with Natalia Vorontsova about his experimental research on hypnosis and anomalous psi phenomena. https://t.co/jP3C1CmRpQ

Every now and then a remarkable idea graces the pages of this online magazine. This is one of such occasions. Here, Dr. Lehner discusses a fascinating account of the intrinsic contradictions and absurdities of the human unconscious. https://t.co/zvdQedtZXu
