SUMMARY:Entanglement
DESCRIPTION:Entanglement: Physics\, Mind and Worlds \n\n\n\nwith Emily Adlam\, Jonathan Allday\, Basil Hiley\, José Latorre\, Dean Radin\, Vandana Shiva \n\n\n\nCurated by Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nFebruary 18 – March 5\, 20239:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n6-two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nGiven the recently awarded 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics to Alain Aspect\, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger “for the experiments with entangled photons\, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”\, the mysterious notion of entanglement has come back with renewed force not only to the Olympus of mainstream science\, but also to the lives of laypeople\, recapturing our imagination as to the fundamental interconnected nature of the cosmos. \n\n\n\nIn a spirit of celebration\, this online series brings together world-experts to discuss what entanglement entails\, from a theoretical perspective\, along with the experiments that have confirmed “spooky action at a distance” and closed increasingly implausible loopholes that might provide another explanation. \n\n\n\nThe conversation will also address the impact of entanglement beyond physics\, and its promise for technological applications in quantum computing. \n\n\n\nWe intend to cover in relative depth some of the following questions: What is entanglement? What experimental evidence is there for entanglement? Is entanglement the distinctive difference between classical and quantum physics? How does entanglement impact on conventional notions such as ‘part’ and ‘whole’? Does entanglement point to a different conception of space and time? How might entanglement impact on areas of conventional science – e.g.\, quantum biology\, consciousness studies? Is entanglement anything more than a useful analogy in areas of less conventional science – e.g.\, parapsychology? Has entanglement been anticipated in the worldviews of other cultures? Does entanglement radically undermine the prevailing materialist western worldview? \n\n\n\nAs physicist David Bohm proposed\, “the reason subatomic particles are able to remain in contact with one another regardless of the distance separating them is not because they are sending some sort of mysterious signal back and forth\, but because their separateness is an illusion. . . . At some deeper level of reality such particles are not individual entities\, but are actually extensions of the same fundamental something.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday February 18Entanglement for Amateurswith Dr. Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nSunday February 19Quantum Computingwith Prof. José Latorre \n\n\n\nSaturday February 25Spooky Action at a (Temporal) Distancewith Dr. Emily Adlam \n\n\n\nSunday February 26My Entanglement with Entanglementwith Prof. Basil Hiley \n\n\n\nSaturday March 4Entangled Minds and Matterwith Dr. Dean Radin \n\n\n\nSunday March 5Living in a Non-Local World: Entanglement Meets Ecologywith Dr. Vandana Shiva

SUMMARY:The Future Human - A Conversation with Satish Kumar
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yswI-Y8Xs9g\n\n\n\n\n\nA Conversation between Satish Kumar and Àlex Gómez-Marín \n\n\n\nWednesday March 19:00am PST  | 12:00pm EST  | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE and FREE. All registered participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nA monthly virtual encounter to reckon whence and whither humanity. \n\n\n\nFollowing an hour-long lively and spontaneous dialogue between Alex and his guests\, the sessions will be open to questions from the audience. \n\n\n\nWhat will the future look like? How will the Future Human live? How will families\, child rearing\, education\, health services\, work\, art\, religion\, love\, science\, language\, storytelling change? And politics\, economics\, government\, and the law? Will we be able to inhabit our planet in harmony\, have sufficient energy\, and afford to eat healthy food? Will we even survive? Can we thrive? These are just some of the topics that will be discussed online at the Pari Center in 2023. \n\n\n\nEach month the Director of the Pari Center\, physicist and neuroscientist Àlex Gómez-Marín\, will be thinking and feeling aloud in the mode of dialogue with a prominent guest for about an hour\, followed by questions and comments from the audience. Pursuing a major theme without rehearsal or script\, they will attempt to engage with ‘that’ which sometimes takes place between (and beyond) two people talking. \n\n\n\nThroughout 2022\, Àlex hosted the very successful conversation series The Future Scientist\, a monthly virtual encounter that aimed to understand where science is going and to reimage where we hope it might go. Maintaining the spirit and the format\, the series will now expand its scope and morph into The Future Human as a natural continuation of the quest to reckon whence and whither humanity. \n\n\n\nThe second conversation in this series will be on Wednesday March 1\, 2023 with Satish Kumar. Our conversation will orbit around “Love”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeace-pilgrim\, life-long activist and former monk\, Satish Kumar has been inspiring global change for over 50 years. Aged 9\, Satish renounced the world and joined the wandering Jain monks. Inspired by Gandhi\, he decided at 18 that he could achieve more back in the world and soon undertook a peace-pilgrimage\, walking without money from India to America in the name of nuclear disarmament. Now in his 80s\, Satish has devoted his life to campaigning for ecological regeneration\, social justice and spiritual fulfilment. \n\n\n\nSatish founded Schumacher College as well as The Resurgence Trust\, an educational charity that seeks a just future for all. To join Satish in protecting people and planet\, become a member of Resurgence (with 20% off)\, entitling you to this charity’s change-making magazine\, Resurgence & Ecologist. \n\n\n\nSatish appears regularly on podcasts\, radio and television shows. He has been interviewed by Richard Dawkins\, Russell Brand and Annie Lennox\, appearing as a guest on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs\, Thought for the Day and Midweek. Satish presented an episode of BBC2’s Natural World documentary series\, which was watched by 3.6 million people. An acclaimed international speaker and author\, Satish’s autobiography sold over 50\,000 copies\, inspiring change around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Masters in biophysics from the University of Barcelona. He was a research fellow at the EMBL-CRG Centre for Genomic Regulation and at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Lisbon. His research spans from the origins of the arrow of time to the neurobiology of action-perception across species\, from flies and worms to mice and humans. Since 2016 he has been the head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante\, where he is an Associate Professor of the Spanish Research Council. Combining computational biology and continental philosophy\, his current research concentrates on consciousness in the real world.

SUMMARY:Entangled Minds and Matter
DESCRIPTION:Entangled Minds and Matter \n\n\n\nwith Dr. Dean Radin \n\n\n\nSaturday March 4\, 20239:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nMethods for investigating mind-matter interactions were proposed by Sir Francis Bacon at the very origins of empiricism\, over three centuries ago. Systematic scientific studies began about a century ago. In this talk\, I will briefly review the modern experimental literature on “psychokinetic” effects\, then I will present in more detail experiments I have conducted involving random physical systems based on quantum indeterminacy\, photon polarization\, scattering\, and entanglement\, the molecular structure of water\, growth of plants and stem cells in vitro\, and influences on human mood and physiology. I will also discuss the epistemological challenges in conducting these kinds of studies\, as well as the practical and philosophical implications of mind-matter entanglements. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDean Radin is Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)\, Associated Distinguished Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS)\, and chairman of the biotech company\, Cognigenics. He earned an MS (electrical engineering) and a PhD (psychology) from the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\, and in 2022 was awarded an Honorary DSc (doctor of science) from the Swami Vivekananda University  (an accredited university in Bangalore\, India). \n\n\n\nBefore joining the IONS research staff in 2001\, Radin worked at AT&T Bell Labs\, Princeton University\, University of Edinburgh\, and SRI International. He has given over 690 talks and interviews worldwide\, and he is author or coauthor of some 300 scientific and popular articles\, four dozen book chapters\, and nine books\, four of which have been translated into 15 foreign languages: The Conscious Universe (1997\, HarperCollins)\, Entangled Minds (2006\, Simon & Schuster)\, Supernormal (2013\, RandomHouse)\, and Real Magic (2018\, PenguinRandomHouse). \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Entanglement program

SUMMARY:Living in a Non-Local World: Entanglement Meets Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Living in a Non-Local World: Entanglement Meets Ecology \n\n\n\nwith Dr. Vandana Shiva \n\n\n\nSunday March 5\, 20239:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nI will discuss the implications of the concept of nonlocality and hidden variables to our understanding of life in the real world. Making a concrete analogy between quantum systems and humane societies reveals a way of being-in-the-world that is not only more Beautiful and True but also Good. I will argue that the revolutionary discoveries of the quantum revolution inform and inspire current revolutions in ecology\, agriculture\, and politics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar\, activist\, and author. A food sovereignty advocate\, environmentalist\, and ecofeminist\, Shiva holds a PhD in physics and has written more than 20 books\, including Making Peace with the Earth\, Staying Alive\, Monocultures of the Mind\, Democratizing Biology\, Soil Not Oil\, and Stolen Harvest. Based in Delhi\, she is referred to as “Gandhi of grain” for her activism associated with the anti-GMO movement. Shiva is one of the leaders and board members of the International Forum on Globalization\, and a figure of the anti-globalization movement. She has worked as a consultant for the Indian government and abroad\, and in NGOs such as the International Forum on Globalization\, Women’s Environment & Development Organization and Third World Network. She is a co-founder of the gender unit of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development\, and of the Women’s Environment & Development Organization. Shiva has received numerous international honors\, such as the John Lennon-Yoko Ono Grant for Peace (2008)\, Sydney’s Peace Prize (2010)\, Calgary’s Peace Prize (2011)\, and the Right Livelihood Award (1993)\, which is regarded as the “alternative Nobel Prize”. \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Entanglement program

SUMMARY:Reflections On Rupert Sheldrake’s “The Science Delusion”
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3wA4KEjxYo\n\n\n\n\n\nReflections On Rupert Sheldrake’s “The Science Delusion” \n\n\n\nOn the 10th anniversary of his banned TED talk   \n\n\n\nDr. Rupert Sheldrakein conversation with Dr. Alex Gomez-Marin \n\n\n\nTuesday March 1410:00am PDT  | 1:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\nFree Online Pari Dialogue \n\n\n\nIn January 2013 Rupert Sheldrake gave a talk at TEDx Whitechapel entitled “The Science Delusion” where he questioned ten fundamental beliefs of mainstream science. The event was called “Visions for Transition: Challenging existing paradigms and redefining values (for a more beautiful world)”. After protests from two militant materialists\, P.Z. Myers and Jerry Coyne\, and in consultation with an undisclosed Scientific Board\, TED declared: “we feel a responsibility not to provide a platform for talks which appear to have crossed the line into pseudoscience.”  \n\n\n\nThe irony (and tragedy) was twofold. First\, Sheldrake’s questioning of dogmatism was met with a dogmatic canceling of his questioning. Second\, despite TED’s famed ethos of “ideas worth spreading”\, they deemed other ideas worth canceling\, especially when challenging TED’s sanctioned narrow worldview. Mislaying their reputation\, TED’s decision refuted itself. \n\n\n\nTen years after the controversy\, Dr. Sheldrake will reflect together with Dr. Gomez-Marin on the effectiveness of heterodox critiques of mainstream scientific thinking. Did they make a difference? What has changed\, if anything\, after such clashes?  \n\n\n\nNowadays’ media landscape affords new opportunities to expose and share different worldviews through podcasting and blogging. However\, curricula remain unchanged\, as students continue to be indoctrinated with the materialist mechanistic reductionist program. In addition\, venues such as Wikipedia profess the same unexamined prejudices\, and so do major newspapers\, TVs\, and grant agencies. In the meantime\, scientific breakthroughs stagnate. \n\n\n\nIn this free online event we will ask what has to really change for things to really change. \n\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE! \n\n\n\nYou can view the censored TEDx talk here:https://youtu.be/hO4p3xeTtUA \n\n\n\nAs well a recent animation by After Skool on “Exposing Scientific Dogma”:https://youtu.be/sF03FN37i5w \n\n\n\nTED’s justification and Sheldrake’s reply:https://blog.ted.com/open-for-discussion-graham-hancock-and-rupert-sheldrake/ \n\n\n\nSheldrake’s book “The Science Delusion”:https://sheldrake.org/books-by-rupert-sheldrake/the-science-delusion-science-set-free \n\n\n\nAnd a conversation between Sheldrake and Gomez-Marin on scientific dogmatism:https://youtu.be/nFQWgnVrmZU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of more than ninety technical papers and nine books\, including The Science Delusion (called Science Set Free in the US). As a Fellow of Clare College\, Cambridge\, he was Director of Studies in Cell Biology\, and was also a Research Fellow of the Royal Society. He worked in Hyderabad\, India\, as Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)\, and also lived for two years in the ashram of Fr Bede Griffiths in Tamil Nadu. From 2005-2010\, he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick Project for the study of unexplained human and animal abilities\, funded by Trinity College\, Cambridge. He is currently a Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma\, California and of Schumacher College in Dartington\, Devon. He lives in London and is married to Jill Purce\, with whom he has two sons. His web site is www.sheldrake.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Àlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Masters in biophysics from the University of Barcelona. He was a research fellow at the EMBL-CRG Centre for Genomic Regulation and at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Lisbon. His research spans from the origins of the arrow of time to the neurobiology of action-perception in flies\, worms\, mice\, humans and robots. Since 2016 he is the head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante\, where he is an Associate Professor of the Spanish Research Council. Combining high-resolution experiments\, computational and theoretical biology\, and continental philosophy\, his latest research concentrates on real-life cognition and consciousness.
