Episode notes
Poetic Meta-Naturalism
- People often view the universe's creation as either by design or accident.
- Bobby Azarian presents a third view: 'poetic meta-naturalism,' where the universe actively creates meaning.
Meaning in the Universe
- 'Poetic meta-naturalism' suggests the universe isn't a meaningless accident, but actively creates meaning.
- Meaning is fundamental, with emergent properties like life and consciousness.
Emergent Consciousness
- Azarian believes consciousness emerges from world-modeling and self-modeling systems, likely requiring brains.
- This contrasts with panpsychism, where consciousness is a fundamental property.
