Episode notes
Consciousness Is Primary
- Mark Gober argues the brain does not produce consciousness but serves as a receiver or filter.
- This flips materialism: consciousness is fundamental and the body is its vessel.
From Materialist To Researcher
- Gober describes his personal shift from atheist materialist to researching paranormal evidence after listening to podcasts in 2016.
- That journey led him to read scientific papers and write his first book exploring consciousness.

- Analytic idealism likens consciousness to an infinite stream with individual whirlpools as selves.
- This model predicts psychic phenomena and survival of bodily death rather than treating them as anomalies.
