It's become increasingly clear that the Turing Test -- determining whether human interlocutors can tell whether a conversation is being carried out by a human or a machine -- is not a good way to think about consciousness. Modern LLMs can mimic human conversation with extraordinary verisimilitude, but most people would not judge them to be conscious. What would it take? Is it even possible for a computer program to achieve consciousness, or must consciousness be fundamentally "meat-based"? Philosopher Ned Block has long argued that consciousness involves something more than simply the "functional" aspects of inputs and outputs.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/01/05/339-ned-block-on-whether-consciousness-requires-biology/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Ned Block received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard University.

Psilocybin is neurologically proven to unwire years of bad habits, enhancing focus, emotional control, and mental clarity. Society has intentionally hidden the truth about how this powerful compound can optimize your mind and body, but that changes now. In episode 847 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Adam Schell, a former cannabis industry insider who now dedicates his life to psilocybin. Adam shares his incredible story, from a life altering psychedelic experience to losing millions and rebuilding. He explains the real science behind how microdosing psilocybin improves brain function, helps manage trauma, and promotes spiritual growth. They discuss the difference between a microdose and a hero dose, who is a good candidate for each, and why these substances are far safer and more beneficial than alcohol. This conversation reveals how you can use this tool to improve your health and become a more effective human being.If you are ready to apply this same level of optimization to your physique, join Robert's FREE Bodybuilding Masterclass to learn the proven system for building muscle and achieving your fitness goals. https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Code "SAVAGE" to save 15% off Adam's Site BrainSupremeGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters:0:00 - Microdosing vs. Hero Dose: What's The Difference? 1:10 - The Philosophy of Building an Authentic Business 3:35 - How My First Psychedelic Trip Changed My Life Forever 6:00 - An Unforgettable Encounter With a Traumatized Veteran 8:29 - Why I Left The Cannabis Industry For Psychedelics 10:34 - The "Glorious Mutation" That Created Our Unique Strain 11:10 - A Beginner's Guide to Psilocybin Doses 13:20 - The Realistic Expectations for Microdosing 16:02 - Who Should Consider a "Heroic Dose" of Psychedelics? 18:04 - The Science of What Psilocybin Actually Does to Your Brain 19:54 - "Vertical" vs. "Horizontal" Psychedelics (Mushrooms vs. LSD/DMT) 22:12 - How a Hero Dose "Turns On The Lights" in Your Mind 24:39 - How Psychedelics Define My View of God & Religion 27:01 - Unlocking The "Ethereal Mycelium Network" 28:33 - Does Psychedelic Use Align with Organized Religion? 30:39 - Why I Can No Longer Support My "Home Team" 33:44 - I Lost $6.5 Million and Almost Got Myself Killed 36:10 - My Stance on Cannabis After Leaving The Industry 38:20 - My Book Deal Imploded, The Housing Crisis & Michael Jackson 41:45 - The Critical Difference Between Weed and Mushrooms 44:12 - The Downsides of Weed vs. Psilocybin 47:32 - Is It Possible to Get "Stuck" in a Bad Trip? 50:16 - Is Using Psychedelics for Growth "Cheating"? 53:04 - The Ancient & Mystical History of Psychedelics 55:25 - Why There Is a Stigma Against Psychedelics 58:05 - A Breakdown of Our Life-Optimizing Formulas 1:01:21 - How to Find Your Perfect Microdosing Protocol 1:05:33 - Does The Effect of Microdosing Wear Off? 1:08:32 - What Makes Our Brand Different From The Rest? 1:10:33 - Our Unrivaled Approach to Customer Service 1:14:24 - Where to Find More Information & A Discount Code

For our first episode of 2026, Dr. Ezekiel “Zeke” Emanuel, oncologist, bioethicist, architect of the Affordable Care Act, and author of Eat Your Ice Cream joins us to share why he believes the longevity movement is overblown and how real health comes down to simplicity. In his new book, Zeke argues that instead of chasing expensive fads and wellness trends, we should focus on six straightforward habits that make life healthier and more enjoyable. In this conversation with co-host Steve Kraus, he explains why complexity is one of healthcare's biggest threats, how public frustration is reshaping policy, and why the path to better health may be far simpler than we think.We cover:

Along the way, Jay reflects on pedagogy, philosophical formation, and what it means to affirm philosophy at moments when its value can no longer be taken for granted.

A provocative defense of a forgotten Chinese approach to identity and difference. Historically, the Western encounter with difference has been catastrophic: the extermination and displacement of aboriginal populations, the transatlantic slave trade, and colonialism. China, however, took a different historical path. In Chinese Cosmopolitanism: The History and Philosophy of an Idea (Princeton UP, 2023), Shuchen Xiang argues that the Chinese cultural tradition was, from its formative beginnings and throughout its imperial history, a cosmopolitan melting pot that synthesized the different cultures that came into its orbit. Unlike the West, which cast its collisions with different cultures in Manichean terms of the ontologically irreconcilable difference between civilization and barbarism, China was a dynamic identity created out of difference. The reasons for this, Xiang argues, are philosophical: Chinese philosophy has the conceptual resources for providing alternative ways to understand pluralism. Xiang explains that "Chinese" identity is not what the West understands as a racial identity; it is not a group of people related by common descent or heredity but rather a hybrid of coalescing cultures. To use the Western discourse of race to frame the Chinese view of non-Chinese, she argues, is a category error. Xiang shows that China was both internally cosmopolitan, embracing distinct peoples into a common identity, and externally cosmopolitan, having knowledge of faraway lands without an ideological need to subjugate them. Contrasting the Chinese understanding of efficacy--described as "harmony"--with the Western understanding of order, she argues that the Chinese sought to gain influence over others by having them spontaneously accept the virtue of one's position. These ideas from Chinese philosophy, she contends, offer a new way to understand today's multipolar world and can make a valuable contribution to contemporary discussions in the critical philosophy of race.

What does it mean when a radical understanding of National Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth century's most important philosopher? Martin Heidegger's sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, "to lead the leader." Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heidegger's "Black Notebooks," it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected. His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was mainly that it did not go far enough. The notebooks show that far from being separated from Nazism, Heidegger's philosophy was suffused with it. In Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology (Yale University Press, 2022), Richard Wolin explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas--and why his legacy remains radically compromised.

Stefan Molyneux looks at the difficulties in getting kids to understand morality, pointing out how dense philosophical ideas and religious lessons often fall short. He takes aim at old-school punishments that don't really build a true sense of right and wrong, and instead pushes for a straightforward approach that children can pick up on naturally. He stresses the need to focus on empathy, wrapping up with a call to create straightforward ways to teach morals that let kids tap into their own sense of agency."On the Nature and Existence of GOD!" is at https://fdrpodcasts.com/6244/on-the-nature-and-existence-of-godSUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Episode 467 | The Art of Mentorship & The Philosophy of K-BeautyIn this episode, Susy and Barbara get real about the highs and lows of the grooming life—from surviving Northwest floods and "fish pond nightmares" to the emotional toll of losing a beloved pet. But the heart of today's show is all about growth. First, we explore the essential traits of a great grooming mentor. Are you rushing in to fix mistakes before they happen? We discuss why "living in the mistake" is a vital part of the learning process, how to provide non-judgmental feedback, and why being an available, skilled guide is better than being a "famous" influencer.Then, Barbara takes us into the classroom to break down K-Beauty (Korean Beauty) philosophy. It's not just about ingredients; it's a mindset of nurturing the skin barrier rather than just fixing problems. Learn why hydration, ceramides, and a "gentle, layered" approach might be the future of your grooming tub.Inside this episode: Mentorship Mindset: Why patience is your greatest tool. The "Half-Dog" Method: A practical way to teach styling. K-Beauty vs. Western Dermatology: Shifting from "fixing" to "nurturing" skin. The Skin Barrier: Why Barbara is moving toward a K-Beauty approach for pets. Special thanks to our sponsors: Best Shot, Show Season, Precision Sharp, and Groomore software.
What does it mean when a radical understanding of National Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth century's most important philosopher? Martin Heidegger's sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, "to lead the leader." Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heidegger's "Black Notebooks," it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected. His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was mainly that it did not go far enough. The notebooks show that far from being separated from Nazism, Heidegger's philosophy was suffused with it. In Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology (Yale University Press, 2022), Richard Wolin explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas--and why his legacy remains radically compromised.

Could consciousness be more than an illusion? Could it be the very fabric of reality itself?The Mind-at-Large Project is a three-year conference series, with associated film and other media, that investigates consciousness and its role in reality. The project seeks to challenge the common yet unnecessarily-restrictive worldview that posits that brains alone are required for consciousness. The first gathering, “A New Dawn,” inaugurates this unfolding inquiry. Convening April 15-17, 2026 at the University of Exeter, thought leaders and emerging scholars will come together to explore the deeper nature of mind- from the quantum to the ecological, from the human to the transpersonal.We invite papers that engage creatively and critically with the re-emerging paradigm of “mind-at-large,” traversing multiple thresholds of philosophical, scientific, and cultural discourse, including but not limited to:- Philosophy of Mind: panpsychism, idealism, dual-aspect monism, process philosophy, nondualism- Mind & Matter: quantum theory, observer participation, the metaphysics of measurement- Biology & Consciousness: cognition in plants, animals, and bioelectric systems- 4E Cognition: embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended mindIndigenous and Animist Perspectives: relational ontologies and ecological mind- History of Science & the Disenchantment of Nature: recovering participatory modes of knowing- Theology & Cosmology: panentheism, pantheism, and the divinization of nature- Extraordinary Experience: psychedelic, mystical, and psi phenomena as windows onto a wider consciousness
What can the body, in pain, teach us about the hilarity of our own finitude?Hotel Bar Sessions is currently between seasons and while our co-hosts are hard at work researching and recording next season's episodes, we don't want to leave our listeners without content! So, as we have in the past, we've given each co-host the opportunity to record a "Minibar" episode-- think of it as a shorter version of our regular conversations, only this time the co-host is stuck inside their hotel room with whatever is left in the minibar... and you are their only conversant!This week's Minibar episode features Bob Vallier's reflections on what he learned after a serious automobile-meets-bicycle accident in late-2024. (Bob was on the bike!). The pain, the trauma, the rehab-- and the friendships that showed up along the way to help manage it all-- turned out to be an unexpected lesson in not only what able-bodied people naively assume about their world, but also what insights can be gleaned from the sudden interruption of those naive assumptions.Turns out, according to Bob, there's a lot more that's funny about our finitude than is immediately obvious in our pain!Tune in for the first episode of Season 15 on January 23, 2026!Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/minibar-pain---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!
