Bernardo Kastrup: God, Suffering + the True Nature of Reality - DDG E41

Today Bernardo Kastrup joins the podcast to discuss God, suffering, reality and how these operate within the framework of metaphysical idealism (the notion that reality is essentially mental). Bernardo has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). He has worked at CERN and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered).   Bernardo was kind enough to spend over two hours discussing consciousness, religion, the nature of Mind (God), purpose and so much more. It was a fascinating discussion that came at the perfect time, as I grapple with questions regarding the purpose of life, pain and what it all means.   I can't thank Bernardo enough for his generosity.   ► If you'd like to read/watch more from Bernardo, please visit his website: https://www.bernardokastrup.com/     Learn.
