My (third) conversation with Brain-Inspired's host, Paul Middlebrooks Paul Middlebrooks, surfing together at "the edges of consciousness": youtube.com/watch?v=O87OIq…

I'm listening to the coolest Catalan in physics and parapsychology, Àlex Gómez-Marín (Alex Gomez-Marin). #ufotwitter #ufox #consciousness youtu.be/O87OIqmwn5w?si…

Alex Àlex Gómez-Marín has been on a fascinating journey trying to understand that most elusive of phenomena... consciousness. Most recently it has brought him to explore and study the edge cases of our subjective experience. braininspired.co/podcast/192/

"Para venir a lo que no sabes, has de ir por donde no sabes" (de #SanJuanDeLaCruz). En #Ciencia también nos lo tenemos que aplicar.

Really enjoyed this wild ride through the fringes of neuroscience, and beyond, with Paul Middlebrooks and Àlex Gómez-Marín

Àlex Gómez-Marín Paul Middlebrooks Helpful! (Huge fan of L&J too). As you say, a good metaphor for brain might be a prism. I can see how this might capture the fact that our experiences shape our brains (and thus our minds; a non-controversial but sometimes overlooked stance, I think)?

This Wednesday at 6pm (CEST), I'll be unpacking FLATLAND: What is it like to be a square in a 2D world? From geometry to sociology, this 140-year-old 96-page-long novel helps us make the supernatural natural by conceiving it as high-dimensional. paricenter.com/event/book-a-m…

Em pregunto com sonaria en mode #faena dels ZOO aquest breu vers sobre l'estat paradoxal del món actual: "menjar biològic, mort natural, aigua potable, núvols reals, escoles que eduquen, científics pensant, metges que curen, nens tots jugant...!": youtube.com/watch?v=gIGLi6…

David Bentley Hart is the greatest living American religious thinker & writer. He is even perhaps, say, the C.S. Lewis of our generation. And while DBH may not (yet) be as beloved as Lewis, he’s still a far greater genius & will perhaps even prove to have the greater influence..

Refreshing to be reminded that people can still write ambitious books! Creative and substantive. The format of the Platonic dialogue allows for the considerable powers of story—plot, characters, and setting—to be used in the service of rich ideas. This is great writing.

Flip through the images below. These are the topics covered in Consciousness Iceberg layers. What else would you like to see covered in the final Layer 4? Layer 1: youtu.be/GDjnEiys98o Layer 2: youtu.be/TR4cpn8m9i0 Layer 3: youtu.be/yqgEkWtQPto

This is absolutely moving and elevating: youtu.be/1hhHhLP3_To?si…
