Summary

Tim Maudlin and philosopher Bernardo Kastrup examine the ontological interpretations of quantum theory, realism, and Bell’s theorem, probing non‑locality and its relevance to consciousness studies. The episode also highlights the John Bell Institute and Bernardo’s latest work.- 00:00:00 - Introductions to Tim Λ Bernardo- 00:01:47 - John Bell Institute and non-Locality- 00:03:50 - Bernardo's latest book and writing process- 00:05:58 - Local realism and Bell's theorem- 00:14:04 - Curt's message to audienceRESOURCES:- YouTube link: https://youtu.be/rd7a_5M_37I- Go Fund Me for John Bell Institute: https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-permanent-home-for-the-john-bell-institute- John Bell Institute: https://www.johnbellinstitute.org- Essentia Foundation: https://www.essentiafoundation.org- Tim Maudlin (solo): https://youtu.be/fU1bs5o3nss- Tim Maudlin Λ Tim Palmer: https://youtu.be/883R3JlZHXE- Bernardo Kastrup (solo): https://youtu.be/lAB21FAXCDE- Benardo Λ John Vervaeke: https://youtu.be/UWcTmeAs44I- Bernardo Λ Susan Blackmore: https://youtu.be/jrVnAWP2XEs- Bernardo Λ Donald Hoffman: https://youtu.be/VmQXpKyUh4g- Bernardo Λ Sabine Hossenfelder: https://youtu.be/kJmBmopxc1k- Bernardo Λ Chris Langan: https://youtu.be/HsXxgQy4xLQ- TOE Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/@TheoriesofEverything/playlists- Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal- Crypto: https://tinyurl.com/cryptoTOE- PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/paypalTOE- Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt- Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs- iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/better-left-unsaid-with-curt-jaimungal/id1521758802- Pandora: https://pdora.co/33b9lfP- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e- Subreddit r/TheoriesOfEverything: https://reddit.com/r/theoriesofeverything- TOE Merch: https://tinyurl.com/TOEmerch Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal features long-form, technically detailed interviews with leading researchers in physics, mathematics, consciousness, and philosophy, exploring topics at the level of active research.

0:00.0	I think physical realism and locality are both disproven, unless one is prepared to entertain
0:07.3	sometimes grotesque theoretical fantasies.
0:12.0	Tim Modlin is a professor of physics and philosophy at New York University, and has also been
0:17.2	on the Theories of Everything Channel twice, once before, with Tim Palmer for
0:21.1	a theolocation on super determinism, Bell's theorem, and fractals, as well as a solo episode, which
0:26.7	is one of our most beloved physics episodes. Tim Modlin is also helping organize the John Bell Institute,
0:32.9	which is a foundation for research about the foundations of physics. I've donated to this GoFundMe,
0:38.3	as there aren't many places in the entire world that are dedicated to making progress at the
0:42.6	foundational level. Rather, there are separate programs like strings. The links to everything
0:46.7	mentioned, including the John Bell Institute, are in the description. Bernardo Castro holds a PhD,
0:51.8	both in computer science and another in philosophy,
0:57.5	and is now an advocate of what's called analytic idealism,
1:01.9	the notion that the material world around us is a mere projection of mind,
1:04.7	and that at the fundament, all that exists are mental elements,
1:07.0	or are just one instance of one ontological type.
1:09.1	This is distinct from Donald Hoffman.
1:12.0	However, there are various overlaps and similarities.
1:16.6	Bernardo also runs the Essential Foundation, links to which are in the description, and he's been on the podcast before several times, once with Professor Verveki, Professor Susan Schneider,
1:21.9	Professor Donald Hoffman, Professor Susan Blackmore, a solo episode, another with Christopher
1:27.2	Langen and Sabine Hassenfelder.
1:29.7	At the end of this episode will be an extremely lengthy update on the Theories of Everything
1:33.8	channel. My name's Kurtzai Mungle, and welcome to the Theories of Everything podcast, where we explore
