Cosmos Café [2020-04-21] - The Idea of the World 5 (Part V)

It’s been good listening, which I’ve treated somewhat like a podcast in that I am not watching you on screen but doing work with my hands (usually in the kitchen) while following the conversation as best I can, not having read the text and not being able to take very good written notes. However, I have enough background in philosophy to follow most of the ideas—I’ve also listened to a few of Bernardo’s lectures. His PhD defense was conceptually a trip; I enjoyed the supportive-yet-challenging, highly proficient parrying of the traditional scholastic format. He is like a virtuoso pianist of his own cognitive music. It is edifying listening, even if I would say things differently or make dissections where he does not (“mental nature of reality?”). I hope that I am passively growing brain cells—or learning something!

Deep bows and thanks for your efforts to think wider & deeper, with fellows and strangers alike.
