This Sam Harris clip has been so helpful in reminding me over the years to live in the present moment instead of constantly looking over its shoulder. I watch it often. The speech is called "Death and the Present Moment" and it was one of his best!💜 https://t.co/r9Fq8TUf4V

If the fundamental nature of reality is timeless (spacetime is not fundam), any glimpse of "something" is evidence that there is, and therefore always was, something. The term “nothing”becomes nonsensical, and the mystery of why there is something rather than nothing dissolves.

A great piece on consciousness by my friend and brilliant colleague Anil Seth. Thought-provoking experiments on neural correlates of consciousness. Anil seeks a physicalist theory. I seek to show that spacetime and its objects arise within consciousness. https://t.co/THZlqJ1fMo
