The new thoughtful generation

[William T. Hathaway]

Philosophy hasn’t been a popular topic in recent years, but that seems to be changing. Many young people now are interested in exploring the fundamental questions of life. The majority were born between 1995 and 2008, the years when the planet Pluto was transiting the sign Sagittarius. Pluto is the astrological generation marker and represents transformation. Its passage through the zodiac indicates humanity’s gradual, progressive transformation to higher stages. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, representing expansion, benevolence, spirituality, philosophy. Many people born with this combination, now between 15 and 28, are interested in these issues.

This is demonstrated in their environmental and gender activism and in the popularity of a series of video discussions between neuroscientist and philosopher Dr. Tony Nader and other experts in these areas. Nader is the author of One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness, which integrates Advaita Vedanta (the ancient philosophy of unity, nonduality) with contemporary quantum physics.

This new synthesis asserts that the entire universe consists of divine consciousness vibrating at different frequencies which emerge from the unified field. Quantum physics has established that all matter and energy manifests from this nonmaterial unified field. These discoveries refute the materialist worldview, but many people are still clinging to that. Old-school scientists have been trying for a century to disprove the nonmaterial basis of the unified field and reassert the primacy of matter, so far without success. This issue is at the cutting edge of both science and philosphy.

Nader discusses “Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence” with Mo Gawdat, “What is Reality?” with Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, “Feelings, Emotions, Thoughts” with Lisa Feldman Barrett, “Do Our Senses Show Reality?” with Donald Hoffman, “Consciousness and the Brain” with Phil Stieg, “Reality and the Concept of Nothing” with Robert Lawrence Kuhn, “Panpsychism, Oneness and Multiplicity” with Philip Goff, “Idealism and the Nature of Ultimate Reality: Are We All in a Shared Dream?” with Bernardo Kastrup, “Self, Senses, Awareness, the World … Hallucinations?” with Anil Seth, “Individual and Collective Intelligence: from Molecules to Human Society” with Dr. Michael Levin, “Having More or Being More: Motivation and Regret” with Daniel Pink, “Become Your Ultimate Self” with Michael Gervais.

Yet more quantum woo, I see.

The sentence I have highlighted in red is untrue, either made up either by you or someone you have read, or resulting from a misunderstanding of science. There is no unified field theory that works. And even if there were, it would make no sense to speak of energy manifesting from a "unified field" in this way. Energy is just a property of physical systems, like momentum or electric charge. Unlike matter, it has no independent existence.

Another sock account, Deepak?

If they believe in astrology then they are a new generation of suckers. And even old tossers like myself can appreciate all the issues that we need to address (and where progress has been made) - so no youth required.

You are the only one here not wearing socks, mr. H

You read all of that?

I'm a fast reader. It's crap videos I have no time for.

I read fast too but that was running a fast

That's his name as google led me to other places he's posted.

energy manifesting from a "unified field"

That idea is not from physics but from metaphysics METAPHYSICS OF THE UNIFIED FIELD OF THE UNIVERSE

 

[exchemist]

That's a junk paper from a junk website*.

In the first few sentences it makes ridiculous quantum woo claims, expressed in terms of physics, not metaphysics, in spite of the title. It's trash.

* It is a pay-to-publish operation with no peer review. Well-known cranks. For instance Reiku, a.k.a. Gareth Meredith, who I know well as a serial sockpuppet on science forums, has a whole string of papers of Walter Mitty nonsense published there.
