The Consciousness Iceberg [Layer 2]: The Hard Problem, Carl Jung, Nondualism, Buddhism
Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Embrace Change, Reject Fixed Self
Buddhism challenges the idea of a permanent self by emphasizing that what is truly non-illusory must also be non-changing, advocating for a view of consciousness that is process-oriented. The Yogacara perspective highlights consciousness as constructive, aligning with modern predictive processing theories, while the Madhyamaka focus on interdependence resonates with inactive and embodied cognition approaches. These views question the traditional distinction between subject and object, providing a fresh lens through which to approach the hard problem of consciousness. This perspective encourages an exploration of consciousness theories such as panpsychism and integrated information theory, urging a reconsideration of our perceived sense of self and reality.
