The calcium in your bones, the iron in your blood, the oxygen in your lungs, all of it was born in cosmic furnaces billions of years ago, long before the Earth even existed. Every atom inside you traveled across the universe for unimaginable stretches of time. And then, for one brief moment in cosmic history, the universe arranged itself into something capable of looking up at the stars in awe. The universe becameβ¦ you. This is the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. The idea that you, me, every living thing, are not separate from the universe, but expressions of it. That consciousness itself is the cosmos becoming aware of its own existence. And that there is no God watching over the universe, but the universe itself is God. 00:00 Spinoza and the Stardust Inside Us 01:37 The God of Einstein 09:15 Deus Sive Natura 18:02 God is Dead 23:50 The Illusion of Free Will 32:32 Sub Specie Aeternitatis 36:32 The intellectual love of God. 42:17 You are the Universe experiencing itself Aperture explores the ideas shaping how we think β philosophy, psychology, and the hidden forces behind human behavior.
