Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

CHAPTER

Beyond Space-Time: Consciousness Redefined

This chapter investigates non-physicalist perspectives on consciousness, arguing that traditional concepts of space-time may not serve as the foundation for understanding subjective experience. It discusses the need for a new theoretical framework that transcends conventional paradigms, exploring themes such as mysterianism, telepathy, and the role of information in shaping our reality. Through an examination of consciousness's complexities, the chapter suggests that it may fundamentally be a virtual phenomenon rather than purely mechanical.
