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.

Physics has something to say about reality. It would not have survived as an approach to the world for so many centuries if that wasn’t the case. Yet we have to be careful. Physics has bought its success by narrowing its focus and developing a specific approach. We shouldn’t think of it as a ‘catch-all,’ capable of accounting for everything that we experience.

That’s a hard lesson for a physicist to learn.

Mind and Multiverse Fringe Physics, Session 1 and 2 of 6 With Jonathan Allday and Bernard Carr. Saturday and Sunday March 7-8, 202610am PDT / 1pm EDT / 5pm GMT / […]

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.

Stored in the cathedral of Turin is a strip of linen cloth. On one side of the material is the faint image of a crucified male. Contextually, it appears to be a rendering of Christ after being taken down from the cross. Carbon dating of a sample taken from the cloth places it as medieval in origin. Its documented provenance also fades away in that era. Yet, it’s remarkably difficult to explain how an image of that nature was formed. There is also good scientific reasons to be doubtful of the carbon date.
