  • This was an excerpt from a 5-week discussion series with Bernardo Kastrup, Nov 2022, with guest Federico Faggin.
    Federico Faggin is an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur. He is best known for designing the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004. In 2010, he received the 2009 National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the highest honor the United States confers for achievements related to technological progress.
    In 2011, Faggin founded the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation to support the scientific study of consciousness at US universities and research institutes.
    Bernardo considers him ‘probably the most well-rounded Idealist alive today.’
    He has a new book just released available here: www.collectiveinkbooks.com/es...
    We discussed:
    Federico's journey to his model of reality
    How science must completely change to incorporate consciousness
    How quantum states make sense when viewed as descriptions of experience
    How consciousness and life are nothing like computers
    How meditation, spirituality and science relate

      Oh yeahhh. The 2nd Renaissance is coming. Science is always changing but there are certain troughs that are distinct. We are rapidly approaching one such point. Kids nowadays intuitively discard materialism (simply because we've near fully exploited everything there and yet nothing's changed)

    It is heartening that Mr. Faggin had a true experience. It is native and second nature to us to know the nature of reality to be more than gross matter. Hopefully, it will happen to others who cannot seem to comprehend anything else, especially those who hold high positions in science.
    In the higher ages those who could not comprehend anything other than matter were assigned to the lowest cast and confined to sweeping the streets. Today they hold high positions and unfortunately pass on their incomprehension to a younger generation.

      A cast system is not a problem if it exists for a legitimate reason. For example if a higher cast had highly educated people or people of high spiritual caliber it was alright so long as it was not closed to people in lower casts rising to its ranks by merit. If a cast system is closed and there is not freedom of movement based on merit that is a problem and society becomes stratified.

    So Federo sees reality as composed of interconnected conscious entities or "monads" that communicate through quantum information, which has the same characteristics as subjective experience. The evolution of the universe is driven by these conscious entities deepening their self-knowledge and meaning, not just by chance or deterministic physical laws. Laws of physics are more like syntactical rules of language.

    Such rich and interesting conversation, indeed bringing two points of view together. And what a timely moment of publication, with the news of the last few days of the Z80 retiring from production. I did not know about Mr. Faggin until last year or so, but for me the Z80 was the heart of my MSX home computer back in the 80s on which I learned to program, also in assembler, and it is still my first love. Then to learn that both of my main interests in life, computing and spirituality, are coming together in this one person, is really beautiful.

    I am a physicist and I will explain why our scientific knowledge refutes the idea that consciousness is generated by the brain and that the origin of our mental experiences is physical/biological .
    My argument proves that the fragmentary structure of brain processes implies that brain processes are not a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness, which existence implies the existence in us of an indivisible unphysical element, which is usually called soul or spirit (in my youtube channel you can find a video with more detailed explanations). I also argue that all emergent properties are subjective cognitive contructs used to approximately describe underlying physical processes, and that these descriptions refer only to mind-dependent entities. Consciousness, being implied by these cognitive contructs, cannot itself be an emergent property.
    Preliminary considerations: the concept of set refers to something that has an intrinsically conceptual and subjective nature and implies the arbitrary choice of determining which elements are to be included in the set; what exists objectively are only the single elements. In fact, when we define a set, it is like drawing an imaginary line that separates some elements from all the other elements; obviously this imaginary line does not exist physically, independently of our mind, and therefore any set is just an abstract idea, a cognitive construct and not a physical entity and so are all its properties. Similar considerations can be made for a sequence of elementary processes; sequence is a subjective and abstract concept.

    Mental experience is a precondition for the existence of subjectivity/arbitrariness and cognitive constructs, therefore mental experience cannot itself be a cognitive construct; obviously we can conceive the concept of consciousness, but the concept of consciousness is not actual consciousness.
    (With the word consciousness I do not refer to self-awareness, but to the property of being conscious= having a mental experiences such as sensations, emotions, thoughts, memories and even dreams).
    From the above considerations it follows that only indivisible elements may exist objectively and independently of consciousness, and consequently the only logically coherent and significant statement is that consciousness exists as a property of an indivisible element. Furthermore, this indivisible entity must interact globally with brain processes because we know that there is a correlation between brain processes and consciousness. This indivisible entity is not physical, since according to the laws of physics, there is no physical entity with such properties; therefore this indivisible entity can be identified with what is traditionally called soul or spirit. The soul is the missing element that interprets globally the distinct elementary physical processes occurring at separate points in the brain as a unified mental experience.
    Some clarifications.
    The brain doesn't objectively and physically exist as a mind-independent entity since we create the concept of the brain by separating an arbitrarily chosen group of quantum particles from everything else. This separation is not done on the basis of the laws of physics, but using addictional subjective criteria, independent of the laws of physics; actually there is a continuous exchange of molecules with the blood and when and how such molecules start and stop being part of the brain is decided arbitrarily. Brain processes consist of many parallel sequences of ordinary elementary physical processes occurring at separate points. There is no direct connection between the separate points in the brain and such connections are just a subjective abstractions used to approximately describe sequences of many distinct physical processes. Indeed, considering consciousness as a property of an entire sequence of elementary processes implies the arbitrary definition of the entire sequence; the entire sequence as a whole (and therefore every function/property/capacity attributed to the brain) is a subjective abstraction that does not refer to any mind-independendent reality.
    Physicalism/naturalism is based on the belief that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. However, an emergent property is defined as a property that is possessed by a set of elements that its individual components do not possess; my arguments prove that this definition implies that emergent properties are only subjective cognitive constructs and therefore, consciousness cannot be an emergent property.
    Actually, all the alleged emergent properties are just simplified and approximate descriptions or subjective/arbitrary classifications of underlying physical processes or properties, which are described directly by the fundamental laws of physics alone, without involving any emergent properties (arbitrariness/subjectivity is involved when more than one option is possible; in this case, more than one possible description). An approximate description is only an abstract idea, and no actual entity exists per se corresponding to that approximate description, simply because an actual entity is exactly what it is and not an approximation of itself. What physically exists are the underlying physical processes. Emergence is nothing more than a cognitive construct that is applied to physical phenomena, and cognition itself can only come from a mind; thus emergence can never explain mental experience as, by itself, it implies mental experience.
    My approach is scientific and is based on our scientific knowledge of the physical processes that occur in the brain; my arguments prove that such scientific knowledge excludes the possibility that the physical processes that occur in the brain could be a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness.

    In the perspective of (One's) True Nature there is no past, present or future. Even the notion of the ever-present 'Now' is a metaphor.
    One's True Nature is just a part-whole of the entire whole Universal Nature which is boundless & timeless, and it pervades the entire Universe or Dharmadhatu.
    The boundless, infinite & timeless Universal Nature is in an eternal 'quantum state' (or 'divine' state) which is of ad-infinitum possibilities or manifestations.
    No humans can know, predict or forsee what will happen and to happen at any arising moment as they are all living or existing by the limits of time & space.
    Because the human conscious mind is limitation mental program that runs on or based on thoughts or thinking.
    Hence it is impossible for the human mind to know or understand the eternal & pervading Universal 'quantum' state & its infinite information.
    It can only be directly experienced (or realized) by momentous sudden & instantaneous glimpse of its True Reality!

    Beautiful discussion many thanks for sharing this. If people look closely at their direct experience of this thing we call my life… it’s simply the knowing of experience. Thoughts, sights, sounds,smells, textures, tastes, emotions and sensations. When the compulsive and habitual labeling of experience drops, one sees directly that all that exists is awareness or knowing. Everything expands into an infinite uniformity of knowing and you realize there is no subject object relationship… the act of perception, the knowing of perception and the perception itself… is ☝️ thing. We are the whole works. Consciousness is the only thing that is ultimately real. The ground of reality is what we are in our essence. Then … you laugh and laugh… realizing that the you, YOU think you are was never there.

    About time: whether it exists or not depends on your defintion of it. Defining it is already a challenge on its own. But in any way i can define it: it just doesn't exist. And once you see that, you cannot unsee it anymore. You realize that you never experienced any other moment than 'now'. Everything remains in 'now', but in a constant state of change. I experience my own body in a constant state of change, but the different stages of it are not being left behind in the past. The version of me 5 years ago only exists in my memory, and can only be recalled now.

    He basically explain in quantum terms what is a mystical experience. I have experienced OBE first time I meditated with Vipassana, how he describes the existential sensations/emotions and feelings he experiences are very similar in all the religious or spiritual tradition of humanity. My journey of expanding my knowledge brought me to recognize that this could be an unconditional love-based reality. Everything is exchanging information (basically sacrificing itself) freely for the benefit of the wholeness, without giving less importance to the singular. Probably more advanced the consciousness is and recognize that, the more the sense of belonging to existence leads us to giving the right honor and respect in every aspect of ones reality.

      @@joeyrufo Where's the impasse? Are you kidding me? How and when does quantity become quality? Why should there be a what it is like to be a system? You either endorse physicalism-where there is only dead matter and minds are just illusions (which makes no sense because you need a conscious observer to be mistaken about what is perceived) OR you endorse constitutive panpsychism, which also has problems because it still requires matter to exist in order for there to be consciousness. Constitutive panpsychism basically says that matter is inherently conscious-which explains nothing. The only plausible explanation, which observes the irreducibility of consciousness, is that this one is a fundamental-therefore it doesn't rely on anything else to exist and is the very ground of existence. It is, therefore, prior to appearances such as matter. Consciousness does not depend on any predicator just as a photon does not require a secondary light source to be seen; it is its own light.

      Yes. Another way to say it (to help people understand it more easily) is that this world is akin to a dream that the universe is having.
      This also, IMO, makes the concept of an 'afterlife' or Heaven much more intuitive.

      @@joeyrufo Yeah, Marx wasn't a neuroscientist and jumped the gun there. He also said time was invented by clock companies in order to sell, which is absurd. I can tell you precisely why materialism violates Occam's razor and why metaphysical idealism should be the default position (or at least more compelling). Take a look at the following statements:
      1. Your mind exists
      2. Other minds apart from your own also exist
      3. Things independently exist outside minds
      4. Things outside minds can generate minds
      A true sceptic realises that materialism violates Occam's razor and concludes that idealism provides the simplest and most effective, metaphysical explanation of reality. Materialism, or physicalism, requires all these four statements to be true. Idealism only requires the first two to be true. As you can see, materialism requires more leaps of faith than idealism.
      The only statement that one can be sure of is number one, but in order to avoid the problem of solipsism and pragmatically uphold the theory of mind, both metaphysics must consider that statement number two must be true: other minds exist apart from one's own. This is the only leap of faith required of idealism-and it is a small one since we already know, from personal experience, that a mind can and does exist. It's easy to extrapolate from what is already known and posit the existence of a plurality of the same kind of phenomenon, namely, the conscious perception of other sentient beings.
      Materialism requires statements three and four in addition, and both are bigger leaps of faith, since we can never truly confirm that a world exists outside of consciousness without being aware of it in the first place, and we have no evidence nor the slightest idea of how anything unconscious could ever give rise to consciousness. As the scientist Bernardo Kastrup pointed out, '...everything you can ever know comes into consciousness the moment you know it, so the belief that there are things outside consciousness is an abstraction beyond knowledge.' So now consider how bad the last statement is as it postulates that things whose existence you cannot verify are responsible for the only thing you can be absolutely sure to exist: your own consciousness.
      Statement number four runs counter to the natural direction of inference, which is, the unknown is inferred from the known, not the other way around. Materialism isn't empirically deduced from the scientific process, it is a belief born out of medieval propaganda to politically subvert the power and influence that ancient religious dogma had over people. It began with the heretical rebellion of the Middle Ages as religion stood in the way of freedom and progress. Materialism isn't just false, it's untenable. The only reason we have come to believe in the last two statements with the advent of the age of reason is that we seem to share a common world. After all, two different individuals can describe the same surroundings and come to a mutual agreement based on what they observe simultaneously. But idealism is congruous with this observation without requiring huge leaps of faith like materialism.
      Metaphysical idealism doesn't require solipsism to be true as we have already established. Different conscious observers can agree on a shared mental construct that makes up an ostensibly external reality apart from their egoic minds. One can have one's private dreams as well as share a collective dream, as it were. At the moment, as human beings, we experience a narrow and limited perspective of reality, but without our anthropic avatars, we are, in theory, unbounded consciousness. We are both the part and the whole as access to other states of awareness, including a primordial and pristine cognition, is available to us through certain types of meditation. The interactive holarchy described in the alumnus Cosmin Visan's idealist theory of consciousness-which was brought to my attention recently-aligns well with subjective as well as ostensibly objective, verified facts about reality.
      On my channel, I've got multiple videos highlighting reasons why materialism is not only untenable, it is false.

    In a sense, the fact that all seemingly 'separate' sentient beings (be it a 'human being' or a 'honeybee') are, by default, consciously adverse to or repulsed by the activity of self-attention is all you' need to know..
    This is no 'coincidence', being that sustained self-attention (i.e. 'meditation'; 'Non-destructive implosive charge-compression') dispels the psychosomatic illusion of 'subject-object split' ('duality') as it at once compresses, then illuminates, and thus negates the concept of 'linear-time' ('past'-future') and with it the façade and impetus for biological 'evolution' - which is really an 'evolution' of insentient ideas, of lifeless thought (''the collective unconscious'')
    In this unbridled way of absolute and uncompromising clarity we can distinguish the phenomenal; that 'is' the unqualified 'objective' inference (or 'dreaming') or projection of 'space-time' i.e. 'collective unconscious' (i.e. what you're not) from timeless and spaceless Awareness; (non-binary, non-linear, & non-computational) being the noumenon - what alone exists, what You' already and forever are; pure and indivisible Being (verb) or Awareness ('that' which already is, without name, form, or colour)

    Let me address this once again, for neuroscience and not to subvert the community that studies it.
    I know the conversation undertones. The discussion is on medicating, surgery, or implant as a means of putting someone in a comprise state.
    Don’t confuse ghost with a living spirit, these are 2 different things. There is a transition upon death of the body. Ghosts are in a state of suspension. They are often being punished. They are suspended with their last conscious thought of the evil things they did while they were alive. They don’t progress. They are trapped in that state of mind.
    A living spirit still have consciousness even if their motor functions are gone. There are 2 other types of spirits that maintain consciousness.
    In the event someone is in a coma and leaves their body waiting to recover control of their body. They often have horrific visions noting some embellish because they like the attention they get when they speak on their out of body experience.
    So the question is if you incapacitate one’s body can they impact the field of conscious if they are connected. The answer is yes.
    Now in the case of medically induced psychosis it only lasts for a period until the spirit changes state. When I suffered a TBI I was on Morphine. After a number of days I regained the conscious state even though I was medicated.
    You put someone into a suspended state who is conscious and they will favor the field over the physical body because you have your senses when you are meditating or in MerKaBah. You would essentially be suspended in MerKaBah free to travel. That’s probably the most liberating thing you can do to a spirit.
    They will be free to roam the conscious world impacting the field all over the place. I would be traveling to foreign nations and sabotaging their campaigns. LOL
    The creator has all bases covered. You don’t think the creator knows all his children discovered will be medicated and subdued?
    You all are playing chess with the creator. This dude speaking is a neuroscientist and PHD to practice psycho therapy describing what he sees as a case review.
    He’s correct that you can “experience” things you did or do yourself. You aren’t getting a book view of the information you are given. You are given total knowledge to topics you are given access to.
    Me personally I know what I am shown but I empathetically feel the person that experienced it’s emotions about it giving a crystal clear picture of what took place. Everything I learned from the field of divine consciousness.
    I am not in control of the information I am given. Having a coach only expedites learning to connect, not having coaches or misleading them they still will obtain the same.
    Math is one topic that eludes me. But I literally don’t have an interest in it. I can get the answer on physics questions my skipping ahead to see the outcome.
    One rule, it cannot be for personal or selfish reasons, revenge is justified when someone trespassed against you. Magic will work if someone has trespassed against you.
    If you know the true story about why JP Morgan and Tesla fell out then that gives lots of clues on this law. H Tesla feared the law of affect and his investors wanted to use his devices as weapons.
    Another good one is the Winchester House story. The man that created the Winchester Rifle, his wife could not escape the law of effect and continued adding onto their manor because not only was she dealing with the law of effect but directly by the spirits of the people her husband’s rifle killed.
    Sex and drugs are more complicated. Marriage was created by man, not by God. We are animals. Impacting another has consequences regardless how you go about it. So to have sex out of marriage is not a violation against god. Now so the quick answer is that it’s OK as long as it’s not impacting another. It’s challenging because some people get attached to another that does not share the same feelings and when that person chooses a mate it will impact the person left out. It’s a complicated mess. Some people grow apart and form new feelings. Marriage is a legal contract created by man in a manner that makes sense to limit injury to another. I will live by this law in the Bible regardless if it sin because what it can foster is sin.
    Drugs and alcohol, well if you are wanting to connect and should often alcohol and drugs affect your ability to connect.

    We often hear of the hard problem of consciousness. Why is there qualia or experience of anything in the first place? I would submit there is an even harder and more important question - why do I seem to be a specific individual experiencing a specific subset of qualia? This is the most important question that must be asked and answered but rarely is. As a matter of fact there seems to be a huge blind spot when it comes to this in discussions of consciousness. If material reductionism is to be relevant to the big questions, then it has to explain not how brains generate consciousness but how the specific brain in my head could create the specific consciousness I seem to be looking out of the eyeballs of this specific body. Why do I PERSONNALLY EXIST as an individual in the first place? Out of the infinite matter in the universe how is it that only the three pounds in my head could create me? What is different about that three pounds for this to occur?
    Consider that billions of bodies showed up before this one.
    Billions showed up after this one.
    None of them seem to have created my existence.
    This body could be running around without it being ME just like these billions of others
    All bodies are made of the same elements.
    All brains have the same basic anatomy.
    If all brains are basically the same and are creating consciousness then there should only be ONE consciousness looking out of every set of eyeballs simultaneously.
    A hopelessly superimposed existence from every possible viewpoint at once.
    I’m sure that materialists would claim that no, no, brains are so complex they are all different.
    Ok, so what would have to be recreated in another brain for me to exist looking out of another set of eyeballs?
    When the ontologies purporting to explain consciousness are examined critically it becomes obvious that all materialist/reductionist strategies fail completely in attempting to address the individuality question.
    What is the principled explanation for why:
    A brain over here would generate my specific consciousness and a brain over there would generate your specific consciousness?
    Integrated information over here would generate my specific consciousness and integrated information over there would generate your specific consciousness?
    Global workspace over here would generate my specific consciousness and global workspace there would generate your specific consciousness?
    Orchestrated quantum collapse in microtubules over here would generate my specific consciousness and orchestrated quantum collapse in microtubules over there would generate your specific consciousness?
    A clump of conscious atoms over here (panpsychicism) would generate my specific consciousness and a clump of conscious over there would generate your specific consciousness?
    If an exact copy of my body was suddenly created in antarctica would I find myself to exist freezing there while also sitting in the comfort my living room?
    According to the physicalists that would have to be true or their argument collapses into incoherence.
    Materialism already fails since it cannot find a transfer function between microvolt level sparks in the brain and any experience or qualia. In addition it’s not possible for materialistic ontologies to address this question of individuality since no measurement can be made that could verify my consciousness vs your consciousness and therefore no materialist ontology could make any coherent statements about the subject.
    How could pure awareness even be individualized?
    Physicalists demand measurements but with consciousness there is nothing to measure.
    There is electricity in the brain they say. We’ll measure that.
    Is electricity consciousness? If so then once I again I should exist everywhere at once since electricity cannot be individualized.
    My blender uses electricity.
    Is it a genius?
    Unless materialists can answer these questions their premise collapses like the house of cards it is.
    As far as other ways of thought are concerned only Dualism and Idealism can account for our sense of individuality. Dualism assumes we are all individual spirits/souls matched up to a body through some undefined process. Idealism, which states that consciousness is primary also answers the question of why I seem to exist as an individual.
    One consciousness exists looking out of every set of eyeballs and in the process the illusion of individuality is created in each case.
    In actual reality I am you, you are me, we are one.

    Is it possible that the deeper truth of Quantum Physics isn’t weird, but we did so far not see it while it was always right in front of us. Particples don’t move, spacetime flows. And it makes it look as if there are particles running like crazy around each other for no reason, quite literally.
    Insane model of reality, until you get an idea that it is all happening in a dynamic field, of which its spacetime properties are NOT constant but dynamic.
    Like planets are not pulled anywhere but move in a straight line in space, or are at rest in spacetime, electrons are spread out over spacetime, as spacetime itself interferes with itself, at discrete spaces, that can be described mathematically through the Schodinger wave equation.
    So, the Schrödinger equation describes the interference of spacetime itself. When a quantum state collapses, the interference pattern of spacetime itself 0:03 is broken, as classically, things outside the light cone cannot influence each other. But that is only true in flat space. But the real world is not flat. The naterial world is, but spacetime is not flat.
    May I now receive the Novel Price for solving the unification of the fundamental theories? Let’s do an experiment to proof interference of spacetime and that we, material world are in a constant coherent state in a dynamic flow in space, a static interference in spacetime. Flow is not a thing in spacetime, like c is not the speed of light but the ratio of space units and time, an indication of the grid of spacetime.
    And is consciousness not an experience of spacetime interferences, and as such our brains contain structured spacetime. We must look for the negative of the negative to see the slide how it is one level deeper.
    Like DNA string: what if the leix structure uncovers the fabrication of spacetime, what we call intelligence. Intelligence is ‘t stored as bits, but in the fabric of spacetime itself and in a way, outside the brain, although the brain is encapsulated in spacetime, like Yin Yang in lineair time projection. Can we demodulate the spacetime pattern, to uncover the structure of spacetime, that we hold for atoms, molecules, cells and bodies, etc. It stops the weirdness of QM and introduces us to our true nature.
    If our spacetime is flat, it means that spacetime itself is closed.
    Thought is spacetime dynamics, received from our chosen frame of reference, and harmonic structures in spacetime itself are truths, which can be felt in the right brain when you master to get everything in your conscious system still and without disturbance. We tune in into the waves and structures of truths and values that last, in spacetime itself.
    Matter is a spacetime interference. Or a manifestation in consciousness, if consciousness equals the wave-like ocean of spacetime itself.
