Unlock the mysteries of the market's collective consciousness with 'pracademic' Patrick Skotanis, as we navigate the Market Mind Hypothesis, blending cognitive science with the rhythmic pulsations of financial markets. This episode promises a revolution in your understanding of economic agents, far from the usual depiction as emotionless automatons, and instead as components of a living, breathing organism. We bridge the gap between the pioneering ideas of John Boyd, Karl Friston, and George Soros, bringing a fresh perspective on how consciousness influences market behavior and investing decisions.

Feel the pulse of the stock market as if it were an extension of our very minds. Prices flicker not just with numerical data, but with the heartbeat of collective emotion and intelligence. We discuss how narratives—fueled by the works of Schiller and McCloskey—shape economic events and the profound implications of recognizing the market as an interconnected web of human consciousness. Patrick Schotanus eloquently weaves through the philosophical underpinnings of this view, challenging us to consider the market's moods and vibrations as more than metaphorical, but as real forces directing capital and research in the financial realm.

In this riveting episode, we don't just theorize; we examine the practical applications of treating markets as cognitive networks. Delving into the extended mind theory, we explore the symbiotic relation
