    Summary

    Mark Gober is the author of the “Upside Down” series of seven books—spanning the topics of consciousness, politics, economics, UFOs, medicine, cosmology, and more. His first book, “An End to Upside Down Thinking” (2018), won the IPPY award for best science book of the year and was endorsed by researchers with affiliations at Harvard, Princeton, UVA, and UCSF (among others). He then wrote “An End to Upside Down Living” (2020), “An End to Upside Down Liberty” (2021), “An End to Upside Down Contact” (2022), “An End to the Upside Down Reset” (2023), “An End to Upside Down Medicine” (2023); and “An End to the Upside Down Cosmos” (2024). Mark is also the host of the 8-episode podcast series “Where Is My Mind?”, released in 2019, which explores the scientific evidence for telepathy, the afterlife, and more. Additionally, since 2019, he has served on the board of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Previously, Mark was a partner at Sherpa Technology Group in Silicon Valley and worked as an investment banking analyst with UBS in New York. He has been named one of IAM’s Strategy 300: The World’s Leading Intellectual Property Strategists. Mark graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University, where he wrote an award-winning thesis on Daniel Kahneman’s Nobel Prize–winning “Prospect Theory” and was elected a captain of Princeton’s Division I tennis team.

     

    Mark Gober discusses his journey of exploring consciousness, the implications of the hard problem of consciousness, and the intersection of science and spirituality. He critiques Centralized science, modern medicine's reductionistic approach and highlights the potential for mind control and social engineering in contemporary society. Gober emphasizes the importance of understanding consciousness for the future of humanity and the need to reclaim our health and awareness. Ryan and Mark Gober delve into the complexities of spirituality, consciousness, and the importance of discernment in navigating the modern world. They discuss the psychological warfare that has influenced societal beliefs, the necessity of questioning authority, and the role of individual and collective consciousness in fostering a more authentic existence. The dialogue emphasizes the need for genuine inquiry, compassion with discernment, and the exploration of darker aspects of reality to achieve a deeper understanding of truth and existence.

  • #72 Prof. Karl Friston - The Nature of Consciousness, Sentience & Artificial Intelligence

    Prof. Karl Friston is one of the most highly cited living neuroscientists in history. Karl Friston is a theoretical neuroscientist and authority on brain imaging. He invented statistical parametric mapping (SPM), voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and dynamic causal modeling (DCM). These contributions were motivated by schizophrenia research and theoretical studies of value-learning – formulated as the disconnection hypothesis of schizophrenia. Mathematical contributions include variational Laplacian procedures and generalized filtering for hierarchical Bayesian model inversion. Friston currently works on models of functional integration in the human brain and the principles that underlie neuronal interactions. His main contribution to theoretical neurobiology is a free-energy principle for action and perception (active inference). Friston received the first Young Investigators Award in Human Brain Mapping (1996) and was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (1999). In 2000 he was President of the international Organization of Human Brain Mapping. In 2003 he was awarded the Minerva Golden Brain Award and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2006. In 2008 he received a Medal, College de France. He became of Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology in 2012, received the Weldon Memorial prize and Medal in 2013 for contributions to mathematical biology and was elected as a member of EMBO (excellence in the life sciences) in 2014 and the Academia Europe in (2015). He was the 2016 recipient of the Charles Branch Award for unparalleled breakthroughs in Brain Research and the Glass Brain Award – a lifetime achievement award in the field of human brain mapping. He holds Honorary Doctorates from the universities of York, Zurich, Liège and Radboud University. He received the Donald O Hebb Award (International. Neural Network Society) in 2022.

     

    Professor Karl Friston discusses his journey into neuroscience, the nature of consciousness, and the intersection of artificial intelligence and natural intelligence. He emphasizes the importance of uncertainty in curiosity, the impact of ideology on human progress, and the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in scientific advancement. Friston also explores the significance of mitochondria in consciousness, the free energy principle, and the importance of novelty in human experience. He addresses the implications of technology on attention, the complexities of schizophrenia, and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. The conversation concludes with reflections on philosophy's role in understanding consciousness and the nature of suffering.
