I talked with Liv Boeree—science communicator, former professional poker player, and host of the Win-Win Podcast—about how she sees the world. We discussed the nature of personal identity across sleep, the teleportation machine thought experiment, consciousness as a self-aware story-threading entity, the "attention as cursor of consciousness" framing, Jim's...

According to Bentov, consciousness evolves to the 'absolute' which is the source of all consciousness. Matter, composed of quanta of energy, is the vibrating, changing component of pure consciousness. The absolute is fixed, manifest and invisible. Bentov proposed that the brain acts as a transducer, converting the energy of consciousness into the electrical and chemical signals that are used to communicate information within the body. He also believed that the brain has the ability to tune into different frequencies of consciousness, allowing individuals to experience different states of awareness. Bentov's theory is based on the idea that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe and is not limited to the brain or the body. He argued that consciousness is non-local, meaning it is not bound by space and time and can exist independently of the physical body. Bentov's theory has been influential in the field of consciousness studies, but it remains a subject of debate and is not widely accepted by mainstream science.

Donald Hoffman: "Embodied consciousness like ours has a probability of zero." This is a new finding from the MIT trained cognitive scientist. The normal state of consciousness is not embodied. In the mathematics it registers as measure zero with a probability of zero. Hoffman told Jesse Michels the human condition as the worst possible interface. We are like a marathon runner with weights as well as terrible shoes and a backpack. We cannot move a cup with intention alone. We move our fingers toes and arms and from that narrow channel we have to scheme our way to doing anything physical. It feels low bandwidth and high latency. It is sort of like you can play the game of consciousness and move things around but you remain so restricted. This view dovetails with a lot of religious stories around the fall of man. The ideas open up profound questions about the true nature of reality and our place in it.

Andrés Gómez Emilsson, director of the Qualia Research Institute and a pioneering researcher in the mathematical study of consciousness, explores the nature of awareness from both philosophical and scientific angles. He recounts his journey that led to founding the Qualia Research Institute—aimed at reducing suffering and enhancing experience. He discusses the transformative potential of psychedelics, the view of the self as a series of experiences, and how sensory resonance ("impedance matching") shapes our awareness.

🧠 A Beautiful loop: An active inference theory of consciousness. Many psychological, philosophical and scientific approaches have posited that loops, recursion, and reflective broadcasting are somehow central to the emergence of consciousness in hierarchical complex apparatus such as the nervous system. The geometrodynamics of the experiential reality model itself continuously looping and conforming its own existence. The capacity to reiterate the cognitive process in a variety of states like attention, metacognition, sleep, lucidity, meditation and psychedelic is the cornerstone for the emergence of consciousness. In this scientific study are proposed three conditions necessary to the functionality of self awareness. 1st) Generative World Model Epistemic Field. This model represents the brain's internal representation of the world, which is continuously updated throughout sensory inputs and prior knowledge. 2nd) Inferential Competition Determining Conscious Content. The inferential competition is necessary for determining what becomes conscious and why it’s coherent. This competition arises from the brain's attempt to resolve uncertainty and ambiguity in its internal models. 3d) Epistemic Depth Recursive and Widespread Sharing. The epistemic depth refers to the recursive and widespread sharing of the epistemic field throughout the hierarchical structure, and it’s a fundamental component for consciousness. 🔗

Elon Musk: The overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization. “Basically, it's about maximizing the probability that civilization has a great future and to expand consciousness beyond Earth. Take SpaceX for example. SpaceX is about advancing rocket technology to the point where we can extend life and consciousness beyond Earth to the moon, to Mars, eventually to other star systems. And I think we should always view consciousness, life as we know it, as precarious and delicate, because to the best of our knowledge, we don't know of life anywhere else.” Interview at WEF, January 22, 2026

Let it be known that there is a RIVALRY between Yolanda and PapaGhost. This isn't a case of PapaGhost bullying Yolanda. It's a game of tit for tat between both of them, so I don't want to hear pim! Yolanda provokes him just as much as he retaliates and vice versa, so may the best poker win! #BBMzansi

"Equally dangerous, are attempts to portray the persecution of Palestinians, as part of a supposed confrontation between Judeo-Christian civilization and Islam. Such narratives ignore the existence of Palestinian Christians- the first Christians of the world, dehumanize and incite against Muslims, and fuel religious tensions. They are as false as they are irresponsible. We are proud that Palestine is a land of pluralism and that the cause of Palestine enjoys the support of people from all faiths, and all walks of life, as a reflection of its true universal nature. A people seeking their freedom and their right to live in dignity in their ancestral land"- Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin at the meeting of the Global Alliance on the Two-State Solution in 🇮🇹.

"This is how GPT-4 sees and hears consciousness" I used GPT-4 to describe consciousness. Then I used its description to generate an image, a video based on this image, and a soundtrack. Tools I used: GPT-4, Midjourney, Kaiber AI, Mubert, RunwayML This is the description I used that GPT-4 had of consciousness as a prompt to text-to-image, image-to-video, and text-to-music. I put the video and sound together in RunwayML: "Consciousness could be visually represented as a complex, multi-dimensional web of interconnected neurons. Imagine a vast, shimmering network of glowing points of light, with each point representing a neuron. These neurons are connected by delicate, pulsating strands of energy, representing the synapses through which information and thoughts flow. This neural network would be constantly evolving and changing, with new connections forming and old ones dissolving, reflecting the dynamic nature of consciousness. The colors of the points and connections could shift through a rich spectrum, symbolizing different emotions, experiences, and cognitive processes. Surrounding this intricate web, there could be a swirling, luminous mist of vibrant colors, representing the ineffable and mysterious nature of consciousness. The mist would ebb and flow, occasionally coalescing into recognizable patterns and forms, hinting at the emergence of thoughts and ideas"

🎙 Phenomenology of Aristotle | RadioRA Podcast | 🧠 The provided materials explore a phenomenological reading of Aristotle's philosophy, sharply contrasting the vitality of living consciousness with the mechanistic materialism of the Modern Age. 🌀 The author asserts that authentic thinking is rooted in the active intellect (noûs poiētikós), which, through intentional acts, connects the divine vertical of logic with the horizontal sphere of fluid experience; 🗣 Within the framework of a "rhetorical ontology," the world appears not as a collection of dead objects, but as a dynamic flow of speech and meanings, where the naming of things literally constitutes reality; 🕯 Particular attention is devoted to the mystical traditions of Hesychasm and Western scholasticism (specifically Dietrich von Freiberg and the Rhineland mystics), in which "noetic work" allows a person to acquire the status of a Radical Subject; ⚠️ The modern scientific paradigm is critiqued as an ontological degradation—a form of "black magic" or "gnoseological crime"—that replaces the profound architecture of consciousness with fictitious abstractions and the delusions of atomism; 🌉 Ultimately, the texts call for an intellectual awakening, proposing a return to the understanding of the human being as a bridge between eternity and time. 📹 Click here to access the video directly on

President-elect Donald Trump's appointment of Governor Doug Burgum as Secretary of the Interior and Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy is a win for conservative environmentalism 🇺🇸🌱 As the Governor of North Dakota, Burgum led on permitting reform, deploying carbon capture and storage technology in his state. As an energy executive, Chris Wright produced nuclear, geothermal, and solar energy – in addition to oil and gas. The newly formed National Energy Council has the potential to ensure American energy dominance in 2025 and beyond.

Physicist: Consciousness DOES NOT Come From The BRAIN The prevailing materialist paradigm asserts that consciousness is a byproduct of neural activity, a mere epiphenomenon of biochemical interactions in the brain. However, this reductionist view crumbles under deeper scrutiny, as it fails to account for the vast spectrum of consciousness, from transcendent mystical states to near-death experiences and non-local awareness. Consciousness is not confined within the brain; rather, the brain is a transceiver, a finely tuned instrument that receives and modulates the vast ocean of awareness permeating the cosmos. Just as a radio does not generate the music it plays but instead decodes signals from an unseen field, the brain is an interface between the physical realm and the infinite, omnipresent field of consciousness. Mystic science, in alignment with ancient wisdom and cutting-edge quantum research, reveals that consciousness is fundamental-an organizing principle of reality itself. Walter Russell's work echoes this truth, demonstrating that mind is primary and matter is a consequence of its rhythmic pulsations. The brain, much like a crystalline matrix, is structured to interpret and shape consciousness into coherent experience, but it does not generate it. In this light, consciousness is not local, nor is it constrained by the physical form. It is the unseen architect behind the rhythms of existence, the hidden intelligence orchestrating the grand cosmic symphony to believe that the brain creates consciousness is akin to believing that the eye creates light or that a mirror generates the image it reflects. It is not the origin but the instrument. As mystic scientists, we recognize thay true awakening lies in shifting our perception from brain-centered awareness to the realization that we are conduits of an eternal intelligence, woven into the very fabric of existence. Consciousness is not inside us—we are inside it. ✨🙌🏾💫 © Dr. Jason Yuan
