How does the self retain identity when it's in constant flux? In this episode, we conclude the second half of this investigation, discussing modern advancements in neuroscience that shape our understanding of this metaphysical Self and its ever-shifting nature.

In loving memory of Angelina Low.

What happens when two minds govern the same brain? Do parasites dictate my identity? In this episode, we investigate the brain's influence over the metaphysical self and ask how it can be considered actual, given its ever-shifting nature.

Chapter 10: In this episode, we investigate psychedelic research, neurobiology, meditation and its effects on the brain - all so that we can further unpick the fundamental nature of self and mortality.

Materialism or Idealism? What is reality's ultimate character? Matter, Mind or other? And perhaps more importantly, how should we be thinking about these questions and the answers we offer?

Welcome to Unfoldings, a subseries designed to support our regular monthly 'Infinite Now' chapters. A chance to enable a deeper reflection upon some of the more nuanced philosophical and scientific concepts and also provides a place for our community to offer their thoughts, insights, and feedback.

Chapter 8: In this episode, we unfold the pillars of quantum mechanics—from superposition to wave-particle duality—and continue our ongoing inquiry into the physical self. So, don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.

Chapter 7: In this episode, we begin our exploration of the self, asking: Is there any physical basis for our idea of self? Where does the thread of life really begin? Body or life, colour or eye, chicken or egg — what came first? Who is the observer? So, don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.

Welcome to Unfoldings, a subseries designed to support our regular monthly 'Infinite Now' chapters. Offering a deeper reflection upon some of the more nuanced philosophical and scientific concepts, as well as a place for our community to offer their thoughts, insights, and feedback. This week, we discuss the philosophy of science, the expansion of space, the timeless state of a photon, and the unavoidability of the observer. Enjoy!
