Bedankt voor al die prachtige schaakpartijen, Jan! nos.nl/artikel/2603...

Tomorrow we discuss the biggest challenge to @bernardokastrup.bsky.social Naturalism (the idea that the reality we experience is spontaneous and based on natural laws, rather than planned.) www.withrealityinmind.com/seeing-witho...

Here is the limit of my ability to productively philosophise. If naturalism isn't true, I have no interest in doing any more philosophy. youtu.be/6hKuzbIkOpQ?...

How is it possible that the cerebellum, which contains roughly 80% of all the neurons in the human brain, can be absent without abolishing consciousness? In this conversation, Jeremiah Hendren unpacks Integrated Information Theory, which answers this fascinating mystery. youtu.be/7I0DopbNBM0

Dr. Currie argues that framing the effectiveness of shamanic medicine in terms of placebo effects alone does not do justice to the sophistication of shamanic practice. The latter, she maintains, is based on a complex, multi-tiered metaphysics. www.essentiafoundation.org/not-just-smo...

This is a major endorsement #Euclyd is definitely proud of! computable.nl/e-magazine/e...

"Europe is fighting back. Dutch startup Euclyd has unveiled its CRAFTWERK architecture, a 100% European-designed inference engine that challenges NVIDIA’s dominance. In the near future, Europe's AI model providers may be able to run on Euclyd hardware." www.xprivo.com/blog/en/mist...

@bernardokastrup.bsky.social and Dr Jude Currivan discuss the implications of materialist and idealist perspectives on the economy, an extract from this week's dialogue: www.withrealityinmind.com/recording-a-... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlji...

What if the patterns of the cosmos could guide better ways to do business? Dialogue tomorrow with Jude Currivan & @bernardokastrup.bsky.social dandelion.events/e/s3i6r

In this conversation with Hans Busstra, the legendary CPU inventor explains his quantum theory of consciousness in more detail and outlines some of his novel ideas, to be presented in his upcoming new book. youtu.be/cXlxCOoNZ7E

This is literally surreal... I never imagined I would live to see anything even remotely like this... www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

57% of Republicans strongly support or support _military_ action in Greenland (😮), against an European (former) ally... It's not just the delinquent orange child... The Atlantic alliance is over, at least for a few generations now. maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/u...

(1 of 2): I predict that there will be a whole new level of political consensus emerging in Europe over the coming few years: the right will concede that a more federalized EU is necessary for us to defend ourselves against the USA, China, and Russia. ...

In this remarkably observant essay, Brian Fang shows that the mathematics of the ubiquitous Fourier transform—which ties the words of events and frequencies together—provides a formal grammar for understanding how temporality is a facet of eternity. www.essentiafoundation.org/the-magic-of...

Keep in mind this is not analytic philosophy. Neither is it a formal argument in an academic paper. It is an informal thought experiment, meant to open some avenues of ideation during an informal conversation, not to constitute a strict, internally-consistent chain of reasoning. youtu.be/bPYuhR0-VRI

"In een stevig essay zet filosoof van de geest en halfgeleiderondernemer Bernardo Kastrup dat verhaal op zijn kop. Hij ontkent niet dat Europa achterloopt, maar stelt dat de focus op eigen modellen het echte probleem maskeert." www.debelegger.nl/post/euclyd-...

The #Iranian people are showing the world how to stop a self-absorbed, totalitarian, belligerent regime, and regain their dignity, prosperity, and ability to live in peace with their neighbours and world at large.

"Bernardo Kastrup sees one last opportunity for Europe in the global AI race. Sovereignty will not be won in software, but in hardware, the Euclyd CEO writes in a long and uncompromising article. We analysed his main line of thought for you:" ioplus.nl/en/posts/eur...

A thought experiment that allows you to see, for yourself, that everything exists in nothing ;) youtu.be/r68Jx_MIRVM

In this conversation, neuroscientist Dr. Christof Koch, philosopher Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, and Hans Busstra explore what it means to take mystical experience seriously without abandoning scientific rigor. youtu.be/7wOhvPx2g0I?...

My grandmother passed away 30 years ago. She would have been 115 today. This is an old photo of me and her, when I was 12. I used AI to enhance the resolution. I hadn't seen her in such high-res since she was last alive... I remember this moment as if it had happened yesterday.

Here @bernardokastrup.bsky.social guides two powerful thought experiments which, despite his protestations, place him on a par with any spiritual teacher I've encountered. The conclusion is that everything exists, not in time, not in space, but in you: www.withrealityinmind.com/the-big-bang...

"Today’s AI hardware is general-purpose, bloated, power-hungry. We can do better. Not by mimicking Nvidia, but by designing dedicated architectures for AI workloads, from the ground up. Not by catching up to Taiwan’s fabs, but by changing the game entirely." bits-chips.com/article/euro...

Een prachtig, menselijk interview. Ik viel bijna van mijn stoel toen hij mijn naam noemde, rond de 50e minuut. Wat een eer. Mijn hart gaat uit naar hem en zijn vrouw. youtu.be/WFyTJ5WjArw?...

BREAKING: Denmark announces historical claim to North America. 🇩🇰 Our Vikings were there in 1021 CE, 755 years before USA existed. If we’re doing territorial grabs based on ”who was there first”... we’ll see ourselves in. From Angeliquenorland on Threads 😂

I am surprised by how much the Greenland farce is affecting me psychologically. It really hits home, and I feel personally insulted and assailed. Plus the sheer disbelief of the degree of derangement, stupidity and destructiveness at the root of the issue. Everyday this angers me, every single day.

#Europe _can_ and _must_ have its own sovereign #AI hardware supply chain for core datacenter compute before this decade is out! Here is a long-form opinion piece on this, by yours truly, just published. iai.tv/articles/eur...

"What then is time? If no one asks me, I know. If I wish to explain, I know not" - Saint Augustine This week, we discuss with @bernardokastrup.bsky.social time from the perspective of Analytic Idealism. You can find out more, and join the session via this link: www.withrealityinmind.com/time/

On the cusp of the new year, @bernardokastrup.bsky.social reflects on rituals, distinguishing actions to shape the future (which misunderstand causal chains) from rituals aimed at alignment with nature. Enrich your spirit at this time of beginnings: www.withrealityinmind.com/new-year-ref...

There is a load of very recent videos just released in my YouTube channel. Have you seen them? www.youtube.com/@bernardokas...

Finally a thoughtful video produced by people with understanding of the issues involved. So AI is not a bubble, okay. But even then, it surely can be done with a lot less chips and a lot less energy! #Euclyd youtu.be/Wcv0600V5q4?...

Happy new year everyone!

In #2025, #EssentiaFoundation has reached new heights in the breadth and depth of its coverage, and has established itself as a significant media voice in both science and philosophy. We're particularly delighted with our conference in Engelberg. The plans for #2026 are even more ambitious!

#2025 was the year #Euclyd emerged from stealth mode—and we did so with quite a media splash! As we close out the year—happy and, frankly, surprised by how much we have accomplished—we look forward to more accomplishments in #2026 and wish you all a happy new year!

Hello there, nice to meet you! And hey, long time no see... For some reason, I am deep into bridging the illusory walls of time right now...

If I live another 35+ years, this is what you may see ;-) I like this old man's kind face, I can see myself wearing it ;-)

In this conversation, Professor of physics Ivette Fuentes reflects on her original, cross-disciplinary approach to physics: first, one must fully master the classical forms, but true novelty only emerges when one dares to break the rules. www.essentiafoundation.org/the-physicis...

Rituals tune our internal state into sympathetic resonance with the flow of the world. @bernardokastrup.bsky.social finds rich meaning in the symbols of nature. Winter solstice can attune us to a rhythm of pause and reflection, and welcome the coming light. www.withrealityinmind.com/solstice-the...
