Deepak & Russel - MetaHuman

... of the self can't be anything but another product of brain activity. If every self a delusion, then why should we believe a scientist when he tries to debunk the self because he is a self, yeah. Wouldn't we be taking the world of an illusion? Yes. The whole argument is hopelessly illogical. I really like that this conversation is taking place because for me, that is the new dogma that it says, in a sense, the way that orthodox religion

strayed beyond its territory of providing comfort to people, and the kind of motifs and methods for surviving knowing that we are finite. Now the world of science has strayed into this kind of colonization of reality. Dominating, truncating, putting out fires and inquiry, stamping on the space between people where the connections need to occur. So yeah, I've read some of the book but I will read the rest of it. What I am realizing right now, by the way, is you don't need to! [Laughter] Well, I'm going to anyway, just for the vocabulary. Okay. Thank you, Russell.
