Why Does The Universe Exist? Panpsychism, Fine-Tuning & Cosmic Purpose | Philip Goff

Philosopher Phillip Goff explores the nature of consciousness, reality, and the complexities of the human experience. He dives deep into pan-psychism and its surprising intersection with mystic religions. Drawing from his decades of research, he speaks on our finely-tuned universe, meaning/ purpose of life, quantum mechanics, and the Many World’s Theory. The discussion culminates in a call to move beyond polarization and dogma in the pursuit of truth.
