►Our Instagram in English:   / adaconde_eng   ►Dr. Bernardo Kastrup’s Website: https://www.bernardokastrup.com/ ►Dr. Bernardo Kastrup’s Facebook:   / bernardokastrup   ►Dr. Bernardo Kastrup’s Book “Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell”: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/if... In this deeply thought-provoking conversation, philosopher and scientist Dr. Bernardo Kastrup joins us to explore some of the most pressing and timeless questions of human existence. What is consciousness? Do we truly have free will? Why do we suffer—and is there meaning behind it all? From the ethics of our treatment of animals to the existential risks of artificial intelligence, from the illusion of individualism to the metaphysical foundations of reality—this interview offers a rare opportunity to hear from one of the leading voices in contemporary philosophy of mind. Dr. Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation and a leading proponent of analytic idealism—the idea that all reality is fundamentally mental. He holds PhDs in philosophy and computer engineering and has worked at CERN and in advanced AI development. His books, including The Idea of the World and Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell, have reshaped how thousands think about consciousness and existence itself. Whether you’re spiritually curious, philosophically inclined, or simply searching for clarity in a chaotic world—this conversation may change how you see life. 00:00 – Introduction 00:45 – What is Analytic Idealism 03:28 – What is Metaconsciousness 04:40 – Evidence for the Mental Nature of Reality 10:31 – Did We See the World Differently Before? 13:24 – Why Are We Trying to Escape Reality Again? 16:55 – Living Through the Lens of Analytic Idealism 22:40 – Alternative Medicine: Rediscovering the Power of Mind 25:02 – Meaning of Life in This Paradigm 27:41 – Pay Attention to Life 30:16 – What You Do to Others, You Do to Yourself 32:28 – Was There a Time We Treated Nature More Gently? 36:09 – The Moral Gamble of Civilisation 39:46 – Analytic Idealism in Action 40:39 – What It Really Means to Pay Attention 44:32 – You’re Not an Island: The Moral Responsibility of Being Human 48:51 – Your Quiet Life Still Echoes Through the System 52:22 – When It All Began 56:00 – A Front-Row Seat to the AI Revolution 56:44 – AI Will Never Be Conscious 57:19 – The Unknown Depths of AI Reasoning 1:00:32 – You’re Not Creating Reality.
