Robert Prentner: Interface Theory of Perception & Consciousness

Robert Prentner, PhD is a Doctor of Philosophy currently at the Centre for the Future Mind, Florida Atlantic University, where he conducts research in consciousness studies, molecular physics, natural and artificial intelligence, and philosophy. His current project is “Consciousness and the Emergence of Objects”. Robert and colleagues have been working to explain their theory of consciousness in a mathematically consistent manner. Their group has published several papers on what they refer to as the Interface Theory of Perception using evolutionary game theory and complex mathematics to bring precision to their theories. Prentner’s colleague, Donald Hoffman forwarded this ‘Conscious Realism’ to the mainstream in his popular book, “The Case Against Reality” (2019).-The Interface Theory of Perception states simply that the reality we experience with our senses is analogous to the desktop interface on your computer. We may see objects in our world and take for granted that our perceptions of that object are a ‘true’ representation of what’s actually there. But in the Interface Theory of Perception, these objects are merely a useful fiction; an icon that bears no resemblance to the true nature of reality, but one that helps our species live on and propagate our genetic information. Much like how a folder on our computer desktop may appear rectangular and blue, we do not assume for a moment that the contents of that folder are indeed rectangular and blue. In fact, the true nature of our computer interface consists of electric fields, magnetic fields, resistors, voltage toggles and more. If we had to interact with the true nature of our computer desktop, we’d never get any work done. Much like how we pay top dollar for interfaces that simplify this reality in our technology, our perceptual systems have evolved not so that we experience reality as it is, but simply as it’s best for us to perceive it. This theory also exists outside of spacetime, meaning that our place in space and time is also just a very useful fiction.-Follow Robert's WorkWebsiteTed TalkDonald Hoffman's "The Case Against Reality"-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Zen Honeycutt: GMO, Environmental Chemicals & The Power of Mothers

Zen is mother of 3 and the founder and executive director of the nonprofit organisation, Moms Across America. Zen has been a champion of informed consumer decisions throughout America since learning that the environmental chemicals in the foods that her and her family were eating were affecting the allergic symptoms in her young boys. -With her deepening understanding of the dangers of pesticide residues on conventionally grown food she began rallying concerned mothers around the country to come together and seek change. Moms Across America have been involved in large-scale attempts to have the labelling of GMO foods mandatory in several states throughout the US. While not always able to prevail over the massive corporate lobbyists, the word continued to spread as more and more mothers have made commitments to change their consumer habits to protect the health of their families as well as the environment.-Follow Zen's WorkMoms Across AmericaInstagram-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Jacob Liberman: Living a Luminous Life

Jacob Liberman O.D, Ph.D. is a visionary in the areas of light, vision, emotions and consciousness. He has written several books including ‘Light: Medicine of the Future’, ‘Take Off Your Glasses and See’, and ‘Luminous Life: How the Science of Light Unlocks the Art of Living’. Steeped in the incredible fields of vision science and optometry, Jacob took on a new perspective in his studies and practise when he resolved long-standing issues with his own eyesight. This experience lead him to experiment with a variety of simple, natural and effective life-changing therapies with the tens of thousands of individuals he’s worked with throughout his career. Liberman is a recipient of the H.R. Spitler award for his profound contributions to the field of phototherapy and is the inventor of the EYEPORT Vision Training System, the only FDA-cleared medical device clinically proven to improve visual performance.Connect with Jacob: https://www.jacobliberman.org/Keep up with my work here: https://linktr.ee/ricciflownutrition

William B. Grant: Vitamin D & Human Health

William B. Grant, Ph.D. has authored over 280 peer-reviewed articles on vitamin D and sunlight exposure since 1996. His primary interests are identifying and quantifying the risk-modifying factors for chronic and infectious diseases, with a particular interest in ultraviolet irradiance and vitamin D as well as diet. He is also extremely passionate about getting the message out that risk of disease can be modified by diet, supplementation, and lifestyle choices. William got his BA and Ph.D. in physics from University of California Berkley. He later found himself working for the NASA Langly Research Centre where he operated an airborne laser remote sensing system for measuring ozone and aerosols on many international field expeditions. It after this where he became interested in the effects of UV light on human health. He has since been doing independent research primarily on the links between vitamin D and disease.Keep up to date with William: https://www.grassrootshealth.net/Follow my work here: https://linktr.ee/ricciflownutrition

John Mitrofanis: Photobiomodulation & Neurodegenerative Disease

John Mitrofanis, Ph.D. is a world leading researcher on the effects of photobiomodulation on brain activity. His work is centred around seeking treatments and preventative measures for neurodegenerative diseases; namely, Parkinson’s disease. John is now based in France, where he works as a researcher at the biomedical research centre, Clinatec in Grenoble.-In his book, 'Run in the Light', John outlines the most current understanding of the pathologies involved in Parkinson's disease, and how both exercise and photobiomodulation can be used as inexpensive, simple and essentially no-risk modalities to both prevent and delay the progression of the disease. John’s research is on the cutting edge. He is inquisitive and extremely open-minded in his pursuits.-Follow John's WorkPublicationsRun In The Light Book-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin
