I'll just echo other comments here. PLEASE interview Bernardo Kastrup, Lex. I can't believe that Goff didn't even mention Idealism. Bernardo is leading the charge for modern Idealism and has impressive credentials (a PhD in computing/AI and a PhD in philosophy) and a very formidable mind. I find his arguments far more coherent and persuasive. His ideas are very much in line with Donald Hoffman's work. Don is someone else I'd very much recommend interviewing on this subject.,(reply>), Yeah, Bernardo is interesting af. I second this.
