############################John Vervaeke and I did a “mini book club” on Eastman’s book.
His take on quantum field theory aligns directly with my view, which is symbolized by the “STEPPing Stone” in the Garden….

Thank you Brendan, this was a great chat, you ask incisive questions!
Matt has been hosting a series of discussions with Timothy Eastman on his book "Untying the Gordian Knot" at the Cobb Institute. I have found them enlightening and inspirational, so if you have some spare hours (just play them at 1.75 speed and you will feel like you are time travelling) I recommend delving into those. And when you grok his insights you can feel relatively smarter than Einstein (this might be an effect of listening at high speed, I don't guarantee any actual increase in intelligence).
But seriously, if you want to tap into the unbounded potentiae, give it a listen.
Cheers,
Derick

Hi all,
Thought some folks here might find this conversation pertinent. We discuss TOK and the complexification narrative through the lens of Whiteheadian process philosophy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-EgCakXA9Y
SUMMARY:Dr. Matt Segall joins Brendan to talk about the relationship of process philosophy and the thinking of A. N. Whitehead to the formulation of an emerging metanarrative in metamodernity. In the context of our 13.7 billion years of emergent complexification, how does the story of consciousness evolution relate to issues such as dualism and the hard problem of consciousness, panpsychism, divine creativity, and mystical union?
Dr. Segall's bio:
Matthew D. Segall, PhD, received his doctoral degree in 2016 from the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at CIIS. His dissertation was titled Cosmotheanthropic Imagination in the Post-Kantian Process Philosophy of Schelling and Whitehead. It grapples with the limits to knowledge of reality imposed by Kant's transcendental form of philosophy and argues that Schelling and Whitehead's process-oriented approach (described in his dissertation as a "descendental" form of philosophy) shows the way across the Kantian threshold to renewed experiential contact with reality. He teaches courses on German Idealism and process philosophy for the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at CIIS. He blogs regularly at footnotes2plato.com.
Cheers,
Brendan############################
