Human caused climate change has placed life on the planet in a precarious state. It is imperative we address this situation as soon as possible for the longer we wait, the more we commit future generations to catastrophic disruption. Jungian psychology provides a unique means to understand the problem of climate change for it recognizes the importance of the unconscious in our lives… Read more

In Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “A Descent into the Maelström” (1841), three fishermen are trapped in a gigantic ocean whirlpool threatening to destroy them. This strikes me as an image of the abyss humankind is facing today, threatened by a multi-dimensional ecological crisis in a world dominated by a one-sidedly materialistic collective consciousness that has lost its spiritual foundation, as Carl Gustav Jung characterized it. Symbolically, Poe’s story tells us that psychic transformation of the collective can be achieved by letting go of the old and embracing the new and unknown… Read more

The phenomena of climate change and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence reveal a defining feature of humanity: the aspiration to control, reshape, and surpass the natural world. At the heart of both lies a mode of creativity and god-like ambition that seeks mastery over nature and the power to create new, autonomous entities. Originating as a human-made being shaped from earth and animated through sacred knowledge, the image of the Golem serves as a powerful metaphor for this impulse. It is interpreted here as a symbolic expression of the desire not only to dominate the natural world, but also to transcend it through technological means… Read more

In this presentation I will look at how hard it is to comprehend the problem of climate change due to our natural, human problem with perceiving time. We can’t know those three generations behind or in front – so we can’t take in the effect our actions have on future generations. This links to the fractal nature of time, and to how hard it is to submerge our own sense of self into the complex emergent system which is the collective unconscious.

The title Fringe Physics is intended in a double sense. It reflects both the unconventional status of the consciousness-collapse hypothesis and the fact that many of the relevant experiments involve interference fringes in quantum-optical systems. In this talk, I review known experimental efforts that have explicitly or implicitly tested observer-dependent collapse, including optical double-slit studies. Although the range of experiments differ widely in methods and interpretations, they collectively form a small but coherent body of empirical work that has not been widely known outside specialized communities.

A Hitchhiker’s Guide is written from observations, experiences and conversations and intended as helpful advice for fellow travellers. This journey begins with experiences that make no conventional sense and evolves into a quest that explores both modern physics, particularly the work of David Bohm, and the ancient metaphysics of the Dao de Jing, seeking to bridge the divide between two tribes that both use the word energy with completely different meaning.
