Exploratory Chats on Consciousness, Perception & the Nature of Reality

Topic for 5/6: Altered States of Consciousness: Psychedelics and Meditation

In this series, we will dive deep into the complex and fascinating questions about the nature of reality, consciousness, and perception. We’ll explore how consciousness arises, the mysteries of quantum mechanics, and how our understanding of reality is shaped by our minds. Topics will include the observer effect, simulation theory, the nature of experience, states of consciousness (including altered states), AI and consciousness, and much more. Each session will challenge our understanding of what is real, encouraging thought experiments, discussion, and the exploration of cutting-edge theories from both science and philosophy.

To keep conversation focused and meaningful, a few pieces of contextual information will be presented at the start of each session, followed by a set of questions to guide our discussion.
