  • Beautiful logo and quality content

    A useful addition to the world of Buddhist podcasts. Here we get not only the voice of a sincere, ordained monastic (harder to come by percentage-wise than more common lay teachings) but also a younger, yet still mature voice. Thanks for this podcast channel. Keep the talks coming!

Beyond Matter: The Observer Effect, Timelessness, & the Primacy of Consciousness | Bogdan Staszewski
Q: Why does this serve as a rejoinder to the idea that consciousness is just an emergent quality of the brain?
Because if everything is just materialistic, then matter would collapse itself which doesn't happen; consciousness must be a primary quality independent of matter.
