Simon Duan discusses his hypothesis of Platonic computation, a postmaterialist model proposing that consciousness, mind, and matter emerge from a deeper non-physical realm of forms.

Most brain researchers believe we will eventually explain the mind in terms of neurological functioning.

He explains how, as a meditation teacher, he came to see telekinesis (another term for psychokinesis) as a clearly visible way to demonstrate the psychic powers of the human mind.

The discussion is also peppered with references to feminism, psychoanalysis, marginalized social groups, post-structuralism, and the European Enlightenment. He points out that William James was, essentially, a phenomenologist.

Here he describes different approaches taken to the realm of spirits by scholars in anthropology. He recalls his own fieldwork studying spiritualist mediumship in the United Kingdom.

She explains that, since early childhood, she has experienced beings of light as well as energy patterns around people. This led her to search for both answers and practical applications. Her film, Superhuman, offers a synthesis of scientific and philosophical interpretations — as well as on-camera practical demonstrations of extrasensory perception and psychokinesis. 

Regardless of the physical reality of UFOs, says Jacques Vallée, PhD, the fact that people believe they have experienced contact with alien entities is an appropriate subject for scientific scrutiny. Vallée is a computer scientist, UFO researcher and author whose books include Challenge to Science, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, The Edge of Reality, The Invisible [...]

In this conversation, Karl Friston unpacks epistemic trust in everyday terms—how our brains decide who to learn from and what to believe amid deepfakes, polarized media, and belonging needs. We explore why “learning gates” open with felt safety and shared narratives, how attachment histories bias trust, and why body signals are critical red flags for [...]

David explores how our responses to others’ suffering influence both physical and psychological pain.

Helping others and experiencing connection can support healing, suggesting that altruism may contribute to lasting [...]

Here he maintains that science is continually evolving. He draws upon examples from cosmology and black holes to make this point. He also reflects on his relationship with Stephen Hawking who was his faculty advisor and mentor. He suggests that science will not be complete until it can incorporate both mind and spirit.

He explains that the many tests performed with regard to Bell’s Theorem in physics have now clearly demonstrated that what we conventionally consider the objective world does not exist independent of our own observations. This is a serious problem for metaphysical materialism. However, it is easily reconciled by the metaphysics of the nineteenth century philosopher, [...]

Kevin Kelly is the founding executive editor of Wired Magazine. He posits that our increasingly complex and autonomous machines and systems are becoming indistinguishable from living things. The “neo-biological civilization” is one where the principles of biology—such as decentralized control, evolution, and error-honoring institutions—are necessary to design and manage our technological and social systems. This [...]
