Donald Hoffman is great in explaining the basis of Kantian thought: we don't see reality as it is, but instead a filtered representation that has been useful in evolutionary competition. What we see as physical items are just minds way to show the world.


Bernardo Kastrup and Steve Patterson discuss about idealism vs. physicalism. Bernardo has very strong scientific background (for example worked in CERN) so they are able to discuss the matter in an enjoyable detail.


In this 7 part course, Bernardo Kastrup goes through his theory of Analytic Idealism. He goes through some problems in mainstream way to see the world through materialistic lenses and explains metaphysics in which we could deduct everything into sole ontological primitive: mind. He also explains how this view differs from panpsychism.


Thich Nhat Hanh talks about how the notions of birth and death are concepts created by humans to describe the phenomena around us, but that these concepts may not have metaphysical basis.
