Are plants aware? What is thought without a brain? From Mimosa to mycelial networks, we explore how plants and mushrooms challenge our concept of thought, intelligence, consciousness and even free will. From biology to metaphysics, we explore whether intelligence is truly confined to neuron's or if it’s something much more ancient and expansive.

There’s more to your room than walls, windows, and furniture. Beneath what you see lies a structure shaped by consciousness—a hidden universe born not of matter, but of relation, attention, and limitation. In this episode, we follow a path from ordinary space to extraordinary insight: where a single shape in an endless desert opens up worlds, and where perspective reveals not just what’s seen, but what’s missed.

We reimagine consciousness not as a property of the brain, but as a kind of lens through which the infinite becomes finite. This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and see the unseen.

What are the boundaries of Consciousness? Biologically, it's thought that we can identify a capacity for sentience or sapience simply by the structure of an animal's nervous system, but are the lines of consciousness that easily drawn? Join us as we explore the complexities and the implications of measuring consciousness.

From the hard problem of consciousness to integrated information theory, humanity has desperately tried to understand the bounds of consciousness. But can it be reduced to a numerical value? Join us as we explore the complexities and the implications of measuring consciousness.

What ties mind to matter? Does the self die during teleportation? Can the self be uploaded? Join us for our final chapter of Act 1, as we journey through the realms where science and philosophy meet.

Is Time fundamentally quanta? And if so, are the self and consciousness also fundamentally quanta? What is it for something to be considered quanta in the first place, and furthermore… what does it mean to be fundamental? In this chapter, we unpick these and try to understand our 21st-century concepts of self, mind, time and reality.

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.
