Beyond Dichotomy.
Engaging with scientists, seekers, and philosophers to explore how our views on life and thinking can help us tackle urgent issues today. By love and philosophy, I refer to the people, passions, and ideas that influence our lives and shape our society. Drawing from my background and research in philosophy, neuroscience, and technology, I aim to examine the clear divides in our academic and personal lives—such as science and spirituality, mind and body, technology and biology. What positive roles do these divisions have? How can reevaluating them create new possibilities? How can we step into a better future? This involves the important questions about consciousness that we often overlook but that consistently impact our health and potential.
