Graham Harman and Christopher Witmore challenge conventional views by asserting that objects, not time, shape reality. They explore alternative conceptions of time and urge us to rethink the modern notion of objects as inert matter. The podcast delves into intersections between archaeology and philosophy, ancient rituals, unique object histories, historical symbiosis, methodological contrasts, and perspectives on WWII POW camps.

Graham Harman, a philosopher of object-oriented ontology, joins cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman, known for his work on perception, and philosopher Mazviita Chirimuuta, who specializes in the philosophy of mind. They dive into the captivating question of whether our perceptions truly reflect reality or are merely evolutionary adaptations. Topics include the perception paradox influenced by synesthesia, the indirect nature of accessing reality, and the limitations of human cognition. They also discuss the diverse perceptions of non-human entities, inviting a reevaluation of consciousness.
