In this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview forward-thinking author
and philosopher Bernardo Kastrup, who defines for viewers his notion of
Idealism: How the universe can be most accurately considered a working
mind rather than a physical and independently existing collection of
forces, fields and particles.
He also offers his take on UFOs and UAPs, differentiating between hard,
physical craft on radar and the broader contact phenomenon.
Throughout his work, Kastrup has unveiled and delineated a ruthlessly
logical ontology that addresses many of the so-called insoluble problems
of science, revealing them ultimately to be mirages that arise out of
the problematic physicalist ontology that now predominates in academia
and mainstream science.
His work answers mainstream criticisms that only materialism can be
vigorously defended. After reading his books, one clearly sees that
logic in fact supports his position. Idealism is the more parsimonious
explanation for reality, and has greater explanatory power.
We discuss his views on reality, how human personality fits in the
broader cosmic picture, and how human mythologies are pervasive yet – at
the moment – have been robbed of all their power to provide meaning to
the human experience..
We also talk about the phenomenon of UAPs and NHI, considering whether
these might form a more comprehensive and transcendent mythology that
could better connect us with metaphysical truths. Kastrup says he
believes David Grusch, UAP whistleblower, and decries how “idiot”
scientists with too much concern for their ego and reputations have
attacked the phenomenon and the witnesses while themselves becoming
detached from the scientific trenches where materialism has increasingly
faltered.
