In this host-to-host discussion, we look at the flaws in the materialist worldview and consider a variety of alternative cosmologies. We also consider the epistemology or moral lessons available to us by looking at intelligence in nature, the power of the individual, the ideas of thinkers like J. Krishnamurti, and more.</p><br><p>In the <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/33625427" target="_blank">Plus+ Extension</a>, we examine the mystical ramifications of the idealist worldview, riff on non-physical (a.k.a. alien) forms of independent consciousness, psychedelics as medicine, destiny, <em>The Witcher, </em>and a philosophical look at <em>Rick And Morty</em>.</p><p><strong>Become a Plus+ Member at </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/innerverse" target="_blank">patreon.com/innerverse</a></p><p> </p><h3><strong>FIND BRENDEN WEBER ONLINE</strong></h3><ul> <li> <a href="https://thephilosophyguy.fireside.fm/" target="_blank">The Philosophy Guy</a> Podcast</li> <li> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvqYKgKlEBRf4658pc8NeTw" target="_blank">The Philosophy Guy</a> on YouTube</li> <li> <a href="https://www.mindutah.org/" target="_blank">MindUtah.org</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/brendenweber_" target="_blank">@brendenweber_</a> on Twitter</li> </ul><h3><br></h3><h3>WE TALKED ABOUT...</h3><ul> <li>"The Hard Problem of Consciousness" and the limitations of materialist philosophy</li> <li>Panpsychism, Idealism, and the unified conscious energy of the universe</li> <li>Staying undecided and undefined instead of latching to ideology</li> <li>Gnosticism and its problematic philosophical outcomes</li> <li>The world isn't <em>in </em>your head, the world <em>is </em>your head</li> <li>Intelligence and symmetry in nature and what it might tell us about reality</li> <li>Cosmopsychism and the force that constructs the universe and balances it</li> <li>Spirit or universal consciousness as the recording device of all information in reality</li> <li>Epistemology: Is there a natural or universal law pertaining to morality?</li> <li>The "ought/is" problem of philosophy and seeking good for its own sake</li> <li>Krishnamurti & individualism vs. the collective, and the hero as outsider</li> <li>Postmodernism and the problem of group-identity political philosophy</li> </ul><p><br></p><h3>ONLY IN PLUS+ (<a href="https://www.patreon.com/innerverse" target="_blank">Subscribe!</a>)</h3><ul> <li>The watchers, Nephalim, and Ideological egregores: non-physical but independent consciousness forms that influence society</li> <li> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Universe-Investigation-Non-Human-Intelligences-ebook/dp/B07PHGPZLR?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-ffab-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B07PHGPZLR" target="_blank">The Hidden Universe: An Investigation into Non-Human Intelligences (Book)</a> by Anthony Peake</li> <li>Mystical encounters with other intelligences and the variety of psychological of to explain the other</li> <li>Exploring the magical nature of the flow state as psychonauts, artists, and athletes experience it</li> <li>Why the body isn't a prison, and the ego shouldn't be permanently killed</li> <li> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-Reality-Evolution-Truth/dp/0393254690?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-ffab-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=0393254690" target="_blank">The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes (Book)</a> by Donald Hoffman</li> <li>Microdosing tech professionals and the importance of research on plant medicines</li> <li>Creativity as a gateway to your higher calling or unique spiritual pathway</li> <li>Brenden's involvement with Mind Utah, a new organization promoting consciousness and psychedelic medicinal research</li> <li>Analyzing destiny, morality and neutrality with the story of <em>The Witcher</em> </li> <li>Gnostic nuggets in Rick and Morty and finding meaning in the nihilism</li> </ul><p> </p><h3><strong>SUPPORT INNERVERSE WITH SECRET ENERGY POWER-UPS</strong></h3><ul> <li> <a href="https://www.secretenergy.com/product/colon-cleansing-kit/?ref=chancegarton" target="_blank"><strong>Blessed Herbs Colon Cleanse Kit</strong></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.secretenergy.com/product/shilajit/?ref=chancegarton" target="_blank"><strong>Shilajit</strong></a><strong> -</strong> "The Destroyer of Weakness"</li> <li>Become a Secret Energy affiliate and generate Karma Free wealth - <a href="https://affiliate.secretenergy.com/programs/secret-energy-sovereign-program/signup/?via=464858" target="_blank"><strong>Link To Spiritech Specialist Program</strong></a> </li> </ul><h3><br></h3><h3><strong>MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE</strong></h3><ul> <li>Intro: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/gotups43/foggy-dreams-1" target="_blank">"Foggy Dreams"</a> by <strong>Wisdom Traders</strong> </li> <li>Outro: "<a href="https://soundcloud.com/acidkatz/out-the-bag-vol-1" target="_blank">Out Of The Bag Vol. 1</a>" by <strong>Acid Katz</strong> </li> </ul><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
