None of that is true and it reads like a hormonal teenager wrote it.

ha! I had a convo with my SO about that essay, tried to wrap our heads around it, ended up chatting about the ego for a bit.
I enjoy Kastrup, his writing supports interesting thoughts and conversations about the philosophical implications of living in a non-local universe. Without having to delve into old religions.

To each his own. I really enjoyed most of the essays in Science Ideated and his other books are certainly worth a read. Starting Decoding Schopenhauer's Metaphysics now, we'll see how this one goes.
Its exciting, to me at least, diving into books who challenge the tacit acceptance of determinism, etc. Especially nowadays when we know for a fact we live in a non-local universe.

Is this going to be environmentally friendly like tar sands and fracking?
