Did Whitehead read Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker, or did Olaf Stapledon read or interact with Whitehead? At 21:30- Whitehead said "Why do we have to put the human mind at the center of everything?" Thank you for the question George, that provoked this answer, and thank you Matt. Interesting idea that there's a basic minimum sensory experience. Two opposite great truths (a la Bohr) Kant and Schelling- What is mind that it can apprehend nature and what is nature that mind can emerge from it? Probably these are two ways to see the multidimensional world, neither of which is fully accurate, but both of which give us a way to experience our lives in more meaningful and creative ways.
35 minutes Whitehead's subject fading into the object of next emerging subject and then the two communicators merging into each other shows the primacy of shared consciousness. Interesting. George goes on to explore that from the therapeutic counseling framework.
1:08 Goethe Participatory Epistemology of the plant... wow! So many great ideas here.

Matt delivers these one liners that leave me breathless ;what a Sage. Thank you both for this priceless teachings.
I know, he is a wonderful thinker. I particularly liked his “Philosophy is preparation for dying” in this episode 😊
And what about this bullshit when the missiles and bombs are falling on your house, like in Ukraine?
@@thismindofours I must give credit to Plato (and Socrates) for that one!
Yes I realised this after listening back! It’s such a great quote 😊
One of my favourites so far, heard of Matt’s work before!
A bit above my pay grade so to speak but I appreciate content like this being made, thank you.
Thanks mate! It’s nice to know others appreciate the conversations as much as I enjoy having them!
Great listen and very interesting 👌
Great listen as always. Thank you

Dear Matt- Story of Krishna from Bhagavad Gita (subset of Upanishads) is Hindu, not Buddhist. :>)
