Quantum Physics and the Mind-Body Problem: Science, Philosophy, and Technology in Democracy


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore key topics in contemporary philosophy, such as the debate between naturalism and supernaturalism, the mind-body problem, and the relationship between science and consciousness. We also discuss how technology and data collection are impacting democracy and labor, drawing from recent studies and influential books like Data and Democracy at Work by Brishen Rogers. Additionally, we reflect on the impact of quantum physics theories on our understanding of reality and the human mind. πŸ€”πŸ’‘
