Consciousness — How Can I Experience Things That Aren't 'Real'? - The Conversation

Philip Goff's question is the kind of poser which keeps me interested in anomalistics and forteana. After setting up the material arguments for consciousness, Phil crashes through it like the Kool-Aid Man with the thorny issues which keep philosophers up late at night. As a bonus, he cites the redoubtable Emily Dickinson rather than Jaden Smith. Picking up the ball and barrelling towards the goal, Christof Koch takes the time to illustrate What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about the Brain. His thrust is decidedly more materialistic, without dismissing the human aspects which make NDEs so profoundly transformative. About 50 miles beneath the rabbit hole's rabbit hole, catch up with Alex Tsakiris and Chris Knowles Exploring The Dark Side Of Deep State Dabbling With Extended Consciousness. It's less about hearts, and all about minds, when it comes to keeping the populace in line. Chris and Alex are a match made in heaven to discuss such high strangeness barely tangented on The X-Files.
