Excellent point. via Twitter friend of mine - https://twitter.com/PeterSjostedtH <https://twitter.com/PeterSjostedtH?> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV8PSevhd_M Philosopher of mind Peter Sjöstedt-H discusses the hidden impact psychedelics have had on philosophy and asks if such extreme, altered modes of mind could help give us answers to some of the big questions facing the philosophers and scientists of today. Peter is an Anglo-Scandinavian philosopher of mind and author. He lives in West Cornwall and is engaged in his PhD with the University of Exeter, where he also teaches philosophy modules and writing skills. Peter is the inspiration behind the inhuman philosopher Marvel Superhero, Karnak. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. https://filtermag.org/what-psychedelics-reveal-about-the-nature-of-consciousness/ He is a proponent of panpsychism—the theory that everything material has an element of consciousness. His work even helped to inspire <http://orbitaloperations.cmail19.com/t/ViewEmail/d/CFAA751FF7B9CE84/52D5471E09CF417CF6A1C87C670A6B9F> the new form of Marvel’s “inhuman philosopher” character, Karmak. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
