One is Bernardo Kastrup, a computer engineer and author of several books, including Why Materialism Is Baloney. A Super-Simple, Non-Quantum Theory of Eternal Consciousness
But a surprising number of philosophers and scientists still resist the idea that mind is a mere afterthought of matter. One is Bernardo Kastrup, a computer engineer and author of several books, including Why Materialism Is Baloney.
In “Should Quantum Anomalies Make Us Rethink Reality?”, recently posted by Scientific American, Kastrup contends that quantum mechanics—as well as cognitive science, which suggests that minds construct rather than passively mirroring reality--undermines the assumption that the physical world exists independently of our observations. He calls for a new paradigm that makes mind “the essence—cognitively but also physically—of what we perceive when we look at the world around ourselves.”
On Twitter, physicist Sean Carroll slammed Kastrup’s “bad article on quantum mechanics,” and science journalist Michael Moyer called it “voodoo.” That’s a bit harsh. Kastrup’s interpretation of quantum mechanics reminds me of that of the great physicist John Wheeler. [5]
A transformative idea of the world that seeks to bring truth and meaning to our lives Medium, Geoff Ward, Apr 12 "In my view, the philosopher-scientist Bernardo Kastrup is one of the most important thinkers of the moment on the crucial subject of the nature of consciousness — crucial because the way we understand consciousness and reality shapes our outlook on the world, and on life and existence generally."
Artist Ed Kerns cites Kastrup as an inspiration.[6]
