Bernardo Kastrup -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 23

In this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview forward-thinking author and philosopher Bernardo Kastrup, who defines for viewers his notion of Idealism: How the universe can be most accurately considered a working mind rather than a physical and independently existing collection of forces, fields and particles. He also offers his take on UFOs and UAPs, differentiating between hard, physical craft on radar and the broader contact phenomenon. Throughout his work, Kastrup has unveiled and delineated a ruthlessly logical ontology that addresses many of the so-called insoluble problems of science, revealing them ultimately to be mirages that arise out of the problematic physicalist ontology that now predominates in academia and mainstream science. His work answers mainstream criticisms that only materialism can be vigorously defended. After reading his books, one clearly sees that logic in fact supports his position. Idealism is the more parsimonious explanation for reality, and has greater explanatory power. We discuss his views on reality, how human personality fits in the broader cosmic picture, and how human mythologies are pervasive yet – at the moment – have been robbed of all their power to provide meaning to the human experience.. We also talk about the phenomenon of UAPs and NHI, considering whether these might form a more comprehensive and transcendent mythology that could better connect us with metaphysical truths. Kastrup says he believes David Grusch, UAP whistleblower, and decries how “idiot” scientists with too much concern for their ego and reputations have attacked the phenomenon and the witnesses while themselves becoming detached from the scientific trenches where materialism has increasingly faltered.
