Topic of discussion : Kabbalistic Panpsychism

Summary:
In the episode, after a brief introduction, the discussion kickstarts with Prof. Hyman Schipper, leading into a deep dive into the enigma of consciousness and the theory of Panpsychism. The Kabbalah, a significant spiritual reference, is explored alongside the distinctions between Theism, Pantheism, and Panentheism. As the dialogue progresses, concepts like Ten Sefirot, Ein-Sof, and the intricacies of laser holography are introduced. The episode also delves into the depth of Kabbalistic perspectives, including its stance on consciousness, the concept of the "Unknowable Head," and a unique look at the hard problem of consciousness. Engaging questions from Ivy and Prakash enhance the dialogue, touching on topics from the nature of terms, AI's future, and varying philosophical insights. Notably, the conversation also contrasts Kabbalistic Panpsychism with Mahayana Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, wrapping up with Hyman's views on reality and the philosophy of Materialism/Physicalism.
