  • The End of Quantum Reality: A Conversation with Wolfgang Smith – Samuel Sotillos

    And then I would share with them the good news.You need be divided no more, I would say.

The usual scientific assumption is that the material world is all there is. To explain anomalous evidence, should this assumption be superseded by a model in which consciousness is independent of matter?

  • Iain McGilchrist – Rediscovering Wisdom in a World Gone Mad

    In this conversation, Iain and Helena employ a big-picture lens to critique artificial intelligence, corporate globalization, and the profit-orientation of science and academia.

And they also articulate insights into who we…
