Neville On FireBernardo Kastrup - Affinity p.1[update: re-edited] I see a certain affinity between the thought of Bernardo Kastrup and that of Neville Goddard. While their two systems have discrepancies, I believe that Bernardo's philosophy of Analytic Idealism can help explain foundational aspects of Neville's worldview. For example, he offers a rigorously argued case that, just as Neville contends, all is mental, not physical.Essentia Foundation course presented by Bernardo Kastrup - Analytic Idealism B Kastrup (2014) Why Materialism is BaloneyB Kastrup - home page

The principle is similar when it comes to transcribing sheet music, not necessarily in real time, but relatively quickly after the music has played.

It will go down in the history books as the year in which artificial intelligence can write and produce music like us humans. 12 months in which there was much discussion about how artists should be paid for their music in data sets. Some even said that the question should be asked whether they should be paid at all. To discuss all this again, I got my friend Matthias Strobel on the mic.

Kastrup’s PhD dissertation titled Analytic Idealism: A consciousness-only ontology, argues that consciousness is fundamental. Everything supposedly “material” (including our bodies and brains) are appearances in consciousness.Kastrup uses the concept of alter-egos to describe how we all appear to have our own individual consciousnesses. It is not that we are separate individuals with our own bodies and our own minds, but rather that each of us is one of the many “alters” in a universal consciousness and that “others” are what the other alters l...

The Illiac Suite - Music and AI07: Get cloned and get paid with Voice Swap!Daniel Stein is a producer and musician in the dubstep and drum and bass scene. He is known there under the name "DJ Fresh". The Brit has released several top ten tracks. When artificial intelligence appeared on the scene a few years ago, he was worried about the music industry. Together with his partner Nico Pellerin, he came up with the idea for "Voice Swap". There you can officially and legally clone the voice of a known singer. He and Angie Brown, who is in his roster, talked with me about the use of a cloned voice....

The Illiac Suite - Music and AI06: Stem separation with Audioshake (Hashtag Beatles) It was the news of the last weeks: The Beatles published a new song called "Now and Then" which theoretically is not true as George and John unfortunately have already passed away. But it shows in which direction we are heading in the future. We can create music now that would not exist without the help of artificial intelligence. So how did they do it? Paul and Ringo took an old recording of John Lennon and an AI separated the voice from the piano (and then they also added old demos of George). The technology is called “stem separation”. Audio...

So words should describe the music you want to listen to in the end. But how does an artificial intelligence learn what music sounds like? Metadata must be associated with the songs so that descriptions are assigned. But that's not as easy for music as it is for images, for example.

The Weekend UniversityIs Reality Made of Consciousness? - Dr Bernardo Kastrup, PhDI'll propose an idealist ontology more parsimonious and empirically rigorous than mainstream physicalism, bottom-up panpsychism, and cosmopsychism. The ontology also offers more explanatory power than these three alternatives, in that it does not fall prey to the hard problem of consciousness, the combination problem, or the decomposition problem, respectively. It can be summarized as follows: there is only universal consciousness. We, as well as all other living organisms, are but dissociated alters of universal consciousness, surrounded by its mental activity. The inanimate world we see around us is the extrinsic appearance of this activity. The living organisms we share the...

On HumansCould Mind Be More Fundamental Than Matter? ~ Bernardo KastrupOur mental lives are full of purpose and feeling. Yet the world is governed by laws of physics which seem to lack a sense of either purpose or feeling. So how do we explain consciousness in terms of matter? The problem of consciousness is at the forefront of many dialogues between philosophy and science. So how deep is it?Dr Bernardo Kastrup argues that it is very deep indeed. Or rather, it is a pseudo-problem that arises from us attacking it incorrectly. Kastrup's argument is as surprising as it is simple. He claims th...

Conversations Beyond Science and Religion - Philip ComellaBernardo Kastrup: Dreaming RealityThe notion that we live in a hardened, physical material world, separated from mind, is ingrained into our consciousness. It is a such a common thought that as some have said, to accept the independence of the material world is a test of sanity. But it turns out that the question is not that straightforward after all. And importantly, in our modern, free-thinking culture, the question is no longer off-limits. Among the enigmas that bring the topic front and center, is the so-called hard problem of consciousness; this is the problem of explaining how something as ephemeral and quality-rich as cons...
