Dr Bernardo Kastrup is an author, scientist, philosopher, and the Director of the Essentia Foundation. He holds two PhDs - one in philosophy and the other in engineering. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental.
This conversation mostly focuses on Bernardo’s unique perspective on UAPs (also commonly referred to as UFOs). We also touch on the significance of Carl Jung’s book: “Answer to Job” and its potential for providing a sustainable source of transcendent meaning in a secular world.
Expect to Learn:
— Bernardo’s two theories to understand and explain UAPs
— Why it’s more likely that UAPs are terrestrial rather than extra terrestrial
— The link between mystery and meaning, and how a lack of the former depletes the latter.
And more.
