Fabricating Unscientific Fables for Corporate Business Interests
This is a continuation of another post I wrote on March 29th 2014 where other well known scientists were justifying tree removal by the timber industry because they reasoned that trees in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California were responsble for why the streams and rivers went dry. According to them, the drought and climate change had nothing to do with humans lacking water. It was those evil trees gulping down the water.
Stupid unscientific things said about Forests and Trees

Now comes another story out of South America and the Amazon rain forests of Brazil where fear about the Zika Virus is running rampant across the media, setting up a scenario for the world's pharmaceuticals & Biotechs to cash in big time on the next gold rush rumors. This is reminiscent of the bogus 2009 fearmongering propaganda story about the Franken-Mutant Swine/Bird Flu which was going to create one of the largest pandemics the world had seen in decades since the Spanish Flu. This isn't to downplay the dangers of such a virus. But some of the dumb explanations and solutions coming down to us, not from the usual suspects like CEOs, CFOs or other execs and board members of giant pharmaceuticals, Biotechs or Agro-Chemical corporations with a vested interest in profiteering off the scare, but rather the dumb statements from some Scientists themselves who propose making mosquitoes go extinct as the solution. In other words, once again nature is viewed as flawed, badly designed and the world won't hurt if the Mosquitoes disappear. But don't worry folks, they say there won't be any bad consequences to pay for later. Other organisms they say will pick up the slack or void.

The big question is, should we eliminate for good the virus carrying mosquito, Aedes aegypti, from the environment ? Absolutely say some Entomologistts and Biologists. Would there be any dire consequences ? You'd be surprised to hear that many of the world's prominent scientists say - No! Below I'll list a few of the quoted gems these experts came up in a recent NPR article.
"There's been lots of debate in the last 10 years whether we should eradicate mosquitoes, or at least the 100 species or so that serve as disease vectors for humans. If you look at the science, the majority [of scientists] think we could probably eliminate mosquitoes without too much harm on the environment."
David Magnus, Director of Standford Univeristy's Center for Biomedical Ethics
"What we learned is that the biting midge is the only known pollinator of cacao. "If we were to eradicate that particular disease vector, we may not have chocolate by the end of it. Which a lot of people would consider a catastrophe"
Dina Fonseca Professor of Etomology at Rutgers University
In one corner of her mouth a Professor of Entomology says that the little bitting Midge is the only pollinator known for the Cacao tree, but the only consequence she could come up with as far as an environmental impact is that humans wouldn't have chocolate. The only consequence ? How does she know that ? No explanation, but then here is what she said about the elimination of the Mosquito:
"I'm not worried about eradicating an invasive mosquito. It's an urban species that specializes on feeding on people," she says. "The result of removing them is health to humans and more people."
Then we have another gem by an entomologist and biologist:
"It's sad the passenger pigeons were lost, but did ecosystems collapse? No. Did anything bad happen? We just lost a pigeon, that's a shame."
"If we took out Aedes aegypti, that would be something. Nothing good comes from them, just that people get really sick."
Andrew Read, a biologist and entomologist who specializes in the ecology and evolutionary genetics of infectious disease at Pennsylvania State University
This was a strange statement a biologist to make about the now extinct Passenger Pigeon. The Passenger pigeon used to migrate in such enormous flocks which were described as stretching for miles and dense enough to blacken the sky. They were nomadic and were constantly searching for food, shelter, and breeding grounds. They were once believed to be the most abundant bird in North America, numbering around 3 to 5 billion at the height of their population. Does Andrew Read really believe that such massive population of a single living creature had no real ecological impact on the environment they lived in ? Do a google search on the Passenger Pigeon or read what American Naturalist and Artist, John James Audubon had to say in his first hand description of them. Seriously, no impact on the environment ?

Of course the Scientific World's only viable answer for combating the Zika Virus is to genetically engineer mosquitoes with so-called 'kill-switches'. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called mosquito control "the most immediate line of defense" against its spread and they are encouraging further testing of GE mosquitoes for this solution. Here is the WHO statement:
"Given the magnitude of the Zika crisis, WHO encourages affected countries and their partners to boost the use of both old and new approaches to mosquito control as the most immediate line of defense."
" … For genetically modified mosquitoes, the WHO Advisory Group has recommended further field trials and risk assessment to evaluate the impact of this new tool on disease transmission."
WHO Report: 'Mosquito control: can it stop Zika at source?'
This degenerate worldview outlook about Nature having major flaws and being badly designed are not recent admissions by so-called scientific experts. Back in July 2010 an article published on this very subject in Nature quoted two other scientists with the same perverted perspective about making organisms go extinct.
"Yet in many cases, scientists acknowledge that the ecological scar left by a missing mosquito would heal quickly as the niche was filled by other organisms. Life would continue as before — or even better. When it comes to the major disease vectors, "it's difficult to see what the downside would be to removal, except for collateral damage", says Insect Ecologist, Steven Juliano of Illinois State University in Normal. A world without mosquitoes would be "more secure for us", says Medical Entomologist Carlos Brisola Marcondes from the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil. "The elimination of Anopheles would be very significant for mankind."

Update March 30th 2016 - NPR provides another article which reveals not only how Scientists are on board with making a specific organism go on Earth extinct, but also a 5 step plan on how to go about it
Image - Matt Twombly for NPR
"Most scientists we interviewed, as it turns out, would be all right with saying goodbye to the species. Aedes aegypti carries other deadly diseases harmful to humans, like yellow fever and dengue. Animals don't depend on this species as a major food source, and the critters don't pollinate plants. And anyway, they're an invasive species, infiltrating our cities, where they thrive."

I hope nobody is putting blind faith in these Scientists or their Journalists. Never forget, the present ecological mess that our planet is presently experiencing is the result of the misuse and abuse of science by industrial scientists. Choose you Scientist wisely. I won't waste further time on the irresponsible Corporate Biotechs and their biased Consensus Supporters for correcting our Natural World's imaginary flaws while at the same time making a hefty profit under the propaganda cloak of "We only want to help poor people in other countries." But we should note that there are other more important factors which have directly contributed to the imbalance and increases in diseases which effect us. But it does seem that no one appears to be interested in changing the irresponsible human behavour which is changing our planet's environment. None or at least a very limited few of the world's authorities have any interest or backbone for devising a strategy for reversing the negative effects created by irresponsible human behaviour by means of restoring what has been lost in the natural world. Their only answer is to obliterate through genetic engineering a mosquito with a kill switch which will cause an otherwise valuable ecosystem component to go extinct. The first thing the public needs to understand is that people in white lab coats are for the most part totally out of touch with the reality of how the natural world operates and functions. How many of you folks ever hear of any modern day college students working towards getting a PhD in Botany, Ornamental Horticulture or any other related ecological fields of study ? That's correct, None! Most of these people are out of touch with how whole plant systems actually work within their respective ecological systems. On that note, let's look at the real cause for outbreak below.
Aidenvironment - Riau 2006
Remains of peat forest in Indragiri Hulu, Riau Province,
Indonesia to make way for oil palm plantation.
A recent article by veteran journalist science writer, Jim Robbins in Yale Envirnment 360 had this to say;
"A growing body of scientific evidence shows that the felling of tropical forests creates optimal conditions for the spread of mosquito-borne scourges, including malaria and dengue. Primates and other animals are also spreading disease from cleared forests to people."
Below here are some relevant quotes which highlight how human ignorance and greed have dismantled old growth forested ecosystems and changed the ecological balance to one that is more conducsive to mosquito populations growing unchecked and quickly adapting their behaviour into a more aggrassive critter which increases it's attack on human beings than previously:
"What research is demonstrating is that because of a complex chain of ecological changes, the risk of disease outbreaks, especially those carried by some mosquitoes, can be greatly magnified after forests are cleared for agriculture and roads."
"A flood of sunlight pouring onto the once-shady forest floor, for example, increases water temperatures, which can aid mosquito breeding, explained Amy Vittor, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Florida. She is an expert in the ecology of deforestation and malaria, which is where this dynamic is best understood."
"Deforestation creates other conditions conducive to mosquito breeding. Leaves that once made streams and ponds high in tannins disappear, which lowers the acidity and makes the water more turbid, both of which favor the breeding of some species of mosquito over others. Flowing water is dammed up, deliberately and inadvertently, and pools. Because it is no longer taken up and transpired by trees, the water table rises closer to the forest floor, which can create more swampy areas."
As agriculture replaces forest, "re-growth of low lying vegetation provides a much more suitable environment" for the mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite, Vittor says.

Historical Perspective on Humans Altering the Environment
image: Alex Wild/alexanderwild.com
An adult Mosquito emerges from its watery nursery
The image above looks like something out of a spooky Sci-Fi flick from the 1970s. Back in November 2014, Science Magazine published an article about an experiment with disease-carrying mosquitoes in Africa which showed a surprising result. They only switched to human blood just mere thousands of years ago. Back in November 2014, there was a press release from Rockefeller University which explained how they isolated the scent that the disease-carrying mosquitoes preferred:
"The researchers guessed that Or4 must be detecting some aroma in human body odor. To figure out which one, they asked volunteers to wear pantyhose for 24 hours. And then they placed those stinky stockings in a machine designed to separate their scent into the hundreds of individual chemicals that make up body odor. The researchers came up with one match, a chemical called 'sulcatone' that was not found in pantyhose worn by guinea pigs."
Apparently, the research at both Rockefeller and Princeton Universities showed a recent switch by one variety of mosquito, Aedes aegypti aegypti, from its close cousin, Aedes aegypti formosus. The latter variety bit guinea pigs in the lab, but showed no attraction to humans; but this was not the case with the first mosquito - Aedes aegypti. Interestingly it would seem that humans have a lot of 'sulcatone', but guinea pigs do not. It appears that a variant in the Or4 gene caused the mosquitoes to be attracted to sulcatone. But the question is, when did this occur ???
"The switch from preferring animals to humans involves a variety of behavior adjustments: Mosquitoes had to become comfortable living around humans, entering their homes, breeding in clean water found in water jugs instead of the muddy water found in tree holes. "There's a whole suite of things that mosquitoes have to change about their lifestyle to live around humans," Vosshall says. "This paper provides the first genetic insight into what happened thousands of years ago when some mosquitoes made this switch."
These scientists never really said how many thousands of years ago this occurred (we'll probably never know), but it's conceivable that the beginning of Mosquito behavioural change started at the time when humans began spreading their agricultural practices on Earth as they spread their various civilizations around the globe. On that note, there was another recent study which came out and revealed that the alteration of all the Earth's plant and animal ecosystems happened around 6000 years ago [actually the calculation was 5998 years ago] when humans spread agriculture around the globe. The University of Vermont research revealed where the pattern of human ignorance and mismanagement of the Earth's natural resources first began:
"When did human domination of the planet start? A new study in the journal Nature reports a dramatic shift in one of the rules of nature about 6,000 years ago—connected to growing human populations and the rise of farming. UVM's Nick Gotelli used his world-leading expertise on ecological statistics to find the pattern."
"When early humans started farming and became dominant in the terrestrial landscape, we see this dramatic restructuring of plant and animal communities," said University of Vermont biologist Nicholas Gotelli, an expert on statistics and the senior author on the new study.
In the hunt for the beginning of the much-debated "Anthropocene" — a supposed new geologic era defined by human influence of the planet — the new research suggests a need to look back farther in time than the arrival of human-caused climate change, atomic weapons, urbanization or the industrial revolution.
"This tells us that humans have been having a massive effect on the environment for a very long time," said S. Kathleen Lyons, a paleobiologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History who led the new research.
Chart published in Nature
The above chart shows what they call a Weighted Loses curve with shaded 95% confidence intervals illustrates reduction in the proportion of aggregated species pairs in the Holocene (log scale). Dotted vertical line at 5,998 years delineates the linear model breakpoint in the trend. I'm not sure how they actually get to the 5,998 years, but that must be why the average 6000 years is used for the benefit of the readers. Apparently, prior to the beginning of human civilization spreading of agarian society's farming practices around the globe as human population spread about 6,000 years ago, the prior 307 million years revealed that Earth's various ecosystems were relatively stable with regards animals, plants, birds, etc. But that all gradually but radically changed as humans spread their agriculture everywhere they went around the globe. Here is another quote:
"For modern communities of plants and animals, recent studies show that segregated species pairs are more common than aggregated ones. But when the team investigated the composition of ancient communities using data from fossils, they were surprised to find the opposite pattern: from 307 million years ago to about 6,000 years ago, there was a higher frequency of aggregated species pairs. Then, from 6,000 years ago to the present, the pattern shifted to a predominance of segregated species pairs. An ancient rule had changed."

Seriously, what else can I say ? Currently, it would not be a surprise to anyone that there are organizations [Biotechs, Agro-Chemical, Pharamceutical, Investors, etc] who are figuratively high fiving each other over the prospects of making some type of obscene profit over the misfortunes of others. There is currently no vaccine available for the Zika virus and only the symptoms of the virus can be treated. They also have no solution for the other avenues for which Zika virus transmission is possible. For example, like the AIDS virus, this Zika virus can also be transmitted through Sexual Contact and Blood Transfusions . Couple of problems here. First, no real leaders in our modern times wants to place recommended limitations on human sexual behaviours. They either don't have the guts or backbone to educate those who look up to them or they realize that their following just recent being told how they should live. I can only guess what their apathetic stance and reasoning is, given some time, Science just may come up with a "Fix-It-Pill" to reverse any of the negative consequences brought to us by Zika virus as a result of irresponsible human behavioural choices. Second, the Blood Industry in the medical world makes a fortune off their blood business model. Recommending the Public use safer alternative transfusions like Ringer's Lactate, Saline Solution, etc are not an option for them. There is no money in it. It's absurd. Hey, even the United States military is spending millions of dollars on non-blood surgery which makes sense from a logistics standpoint. It should honestly be noted that not all scientists and other researchers follow this corporate lead or flawed worldview about our natural world being flawed and at fault. But people everywhere should start questioning who and what you are putting your unquestioning trust and blind faith into.
Update - March 6, 2016
This is a bit of depressing News Report which came out about the actual company who is behind the GMO Mosquitoes and the fortune they hope to reap off the ecological tradgety
A Biotech Evangelist Seeks a Zika Dividend
"An outbreak in the Western Hemisphere could give countries including the United States new reasons to try wiping out mosquitoes with genetic engineering."
"Lots of organisms process detritus. "Mosquitoes aren't the only ones involved or the most important. If you pop one rivet out of an airplane's wing, it's unlikely that the plane will cease to fly."
Insect Ecologist - Steven Juliano - Illinois State University
Yeah, you betcha!
NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth News
And in another bit of flawed double standard reasoning, GMO cheerleader, Mischa Popoff, caused the "Irony Meter" to go off the scales recently on this very subject of controlling Mosquitoes. He criticized Texas Agrilife Specialist Dotty Woodson who talked with Katy Blakey about mosquito abatement for home and yard. The subject of using Bacillus thuringensis (known for it's infamous BT Toxin which kills insects), here is what spewed back in May 2015:
Mischa Popoff: "The problem with using bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to kill mosquitoes is that it kills a lot of non-target insects which are food to aquatic animals."
Ironically, there was an article of April 1st, 2016 in the online journal, "politico Magazine," Mr Popoff made this statement below after poking fun at Cuba's small organic farmers who number around 383,000 farms, many of them small urban farms.
Mischa Popoff: "Cubans won't feed America's appetite for anything until they can feed themselves. And to that end, it's time for Cuban farmers to start using synthetic fertilizer, pesticides and GMOs."
Patrick Moore & Mischa Popoff
Let's see here, 'double standard', 'two-faced', double-tongued', 'pot to kettle black' & major hypocrisy spilling out all over the place. Disagree with Mr Popoff and you are immediately labeled an anti-science Luddite from the dark ages. I know, because this is the same guy who censored, edited and deleted many of my posts on the subject of GMO discussion over at his precious journal pages on the Heartland Institute's website. Needless to say I discontinued my DISQUS ACCOUNT. To the right here Mischa is pictured with his good buddy Patrick Moore who like Mischa, is both pro-gmo and climate change denier. Once again, ironically, I do not argued against GMOs from an autism, cancer, etc position, but rather from an ecosystem replication standpoint based on my own application in which all of Earth's plant communities operate efficiently under the same biological guidelines and rules found in nature and when replicated properly negates the need for GMOS and Synthetics. Clearly industrial science and their scientists hate biomimetics. There's no money in it which is ultimately what this has always been about. Maybe I went to the wrong science classes when younger. But if their version of industrial science has the power to control & establish what truth is, then I guess I am a Luddite after all.

HÀ NỘI — Hoàng Thư Đà Nẵng beat Sanna Khánh Hòa 1-0 in the second day of the National Futsal (indoor football) Championship yesterday in HCM City.
Sanna Khánh Hòa was considered a strong team due to their better experience in both local and regional tournaments.
They showed their power right after the whistle. However, their players, Nguyễn Nhớ, Thành Đạt, Minh Hiếu, and Khắc Chí, failed to score a goal throughout the match.
Just two minutes before the end, Hoàng Thư Đà Nẵng's Trần Văn Trung converted a corner kick by teammate Ngọc Hào into the only goal. National team keeper Nguyễn Đình Ý Hòa was startled and let the ball go through his hands into the net.
Sanna Khánh Hòa tried the power-play tactic to score a goal, but two minutes were not enough.
It was Hoàng Thư Đà Nẵng's second win in a row, while it was Sanna Khánh Hòa's second loss.
"It is the rule of football. If you attack a lot but could not score, you would be a loser. Sanna Khánh Hòa still has a chance to fix the problem in the next matches," said coach Đặng Đình Khang.
On Hoàng Thư Đà Nẵng's side, coach assistant Bùi Ngọc Tú said the win resulted from his team's hard work and strong determination. His team then won over Sanna Khánh Hòa, a veteran team in national futsal with remarkable success.
In the other matches, Sài Gòn FC was defeated 3-4 by Hải Phương Nam Phú Nhuận, in a match that saw teams taking turns in scoring goals.

How time creates identity
In this episode of Essentia Readings, actress Nadia Hassan reads an article by Bernardo Kastrup, wherein he argues that time is what creates the illusion of personal identity in the framework of one universal mind.
Idealists all over the world
The repeated emergence of metaphysical idealism—the notion that reality is experiential in essence—across cultures, geographies and history should be explained not in terms of its cultural motivations, but its plausibility as a correct account of nature, argues Prof. Tartaglia in this scholarly but very accessible essay.
Prof. James Tartaglia, PhD
EF-Keytoe Analytic Idealism Course
Welcome to the Essentia Foundation/Keytoe Academy course on Analytic Idealism The course below has been produced in a collaboration between Essentia Foundation and Keytoe Academy. Unlike our previous course, which was based on slides and more formal in nature, the present one is more informal and conversational. Our executive director, Bernardo Kastrup, simply talks to [...]
Consciousness cannot be reduced to brain activity: Doctor Raymond Tallis on the mind-body problem
Professor Tallis—a philosopher, poet, novelist, cultural critic, retired medical physician and clinical neuroscientist—discusses the relationship between mind and brain, as well as the big questions about the nature of reality.
Quantum physics and the first-person perspective
The Nobel Prize in physics this year (2022) went the scientists who showed that the physical world is a product of observation and relative to the observer. And so Essentia Foundation's conference this year is organized in collaboration with the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna (IQOQI-Vienna), home to Prof. Anton Zeilinger, one of this year's Nobel Laureates in physics. The conference will be hosted by IQOQI-Vienna's Dr. Markus Müller and feature seven other speakers.
Experience requires no personal self
We tend to think that experiences are given to our personal subjectivity. Dr. Stew shows here, using easy-to-follow Western reasoning, that no such personal self needs to exist for experience itself to exist.
Dr. Graham Stew, DPhil.
An objective science of subjective experience
The West has attempted to develop its own methodology for the objective study of our conscious inner states: phenomenology. A work in progress as it still may be, it provides an antidote to naive positivistic attitudes that have dominated science until very recently. Dr. Stew reviews the historical timeline of this methodology and relates it to materialism and idealism. In so doing, he provides a systematic framework for understanding much of what Essentia Foundation publishes and promotes. This is the first part of a two-part series that will be continued next week, so stay tuned for the follow-up.
The Copernican Revolution of the human mind
Today's Essentia Readings episode calls for a revolution. And like a number of revolutions in history, it is an attempt to dethrone a controversial king; one the author thinks has long outstayed his welcome, and led us all rather astray. He presents the way to our freedom, and the promise of truths therein.
Can brain anatomy and function account for psychiatric conditions?
In this in-depth interview, Prof. dr. Sarah Durston discusses the limitations of trying to account for psychiatric conditions based solely on measurable brain anatomy and function. Her candid answers may surprise those who think that brain-reductionism rests on solid ground for at least the most common psychiatric conditions.
Metaphysics underpins all of our thinking (The Return of Metaphysics)
To criticize metaphysics is itself inevitably to rely on certain metaphysical claims, thereby making metaphysics impervious. Metaphysical ideas underpin all our thinking, argues Prof. Robert Stern.
Prof. Robert Stern, PhD
A child's sense of Self
This special video production explores a child's pre-intellectual, felt sense of self and other, which reflect age-old intuitions rooted in nature. The video is an invitation to revisit rooms in the palace of our minds that we've left behind many, many years ago; rooms that contain forgotten treasures whose unspoiled authenticity is an antidote to many of modern life's ills.

The symbiotic ecology of the psychedelic realm
The many seemingly autonomous entities encountered in the psychedelic realm suggest that human consciousness is the result of psychic symbiosis, entailing both personal and transpersonal formative principles, argues Dr. Walden in this fascinating essay.
Asher Walden, PhD
There is no personal self
Today's Essentia Readings episode challenges our currently held notion of self and how we typically define experience, as well as consciousness itself. It argues that the concept of an isolated self is an illusion, and drawing from the Buddhist teachings, illustrates what constitutes consciousness, and how we actually experience—and relate to—ourselves, the world, and others.
Metaphysics is inescapable: Even Wittgenstein was a metaphysician (The Return of Metaphysics)
In distancing himself from the Big Questions, such as the nature of reality and the meaning of life, Ludwig Wittgenstein ends up applying a generally-defined form of metaphysics as an antidote to unclear thinking.
Prof. Adrian William Moore, PhD
Prof. Richard Grego, PhD
Playing in the field: The nature of children and consciousness
Through their play and the extraordinary inner experiences they report, children reveal a broader, non-local, decentered and shared self. Because children are less conditioned than adults, this may be a clue to the true nature and scope of self and reality, as well as the role of consciousness within it, argues Dr. Donna Thomas.
Donna Thomas, PhD
The timeless mind: A thought experiment
Mind cannot be reduced to matter. Therefore, instead of looking for the origin of mind, we must understand reality in semiotic terms: as a universal set of signifiers and meanings. This is the argument put forward by Massimilano Sorrentino and Daniela Panighetti in this essay.
Massimiliano Sorrentino, PhD
A psychiatrist's perspective on dissociation and complexity
Today's article is a master class on dissociation, from the field of psychiatry. It breaks down the complexity of this phenomenon, and shows us that it is a much more common process in life than is generally thought. Furthermore, when observed in the realm of mind and then extrapolated beyond to consciousness as a whole, it allows for a better understanding of the fundamental premise at the heart of analytic idealism.
How to understand your mind, beyond thought
The unmediated experience of where the question "what am I?" arises in our mind is already its answer, writes Johannes Jörg; an answer that cannot be produced by thought alone. To understand our own minds, we must go beyond conceptual reasoning and explore our older, more primary mental faculties. By merely being aware of our often-ignored inner states, we can restore balance to our lives. This is because living systems are self-organizing: when dysregulation comes into awareness, it is already being regulated.
Johannes Jörg
How Idealism—and Schopenhauer—saved Tolstoy's life
In the grip of the nihilistic ethos of late 19th-century materialism and Darwinism, Leo Tolstoy contemplated suicide. He would be saved only by finding confirmation, in Schopenhauer's idealist philosophy, of his own earlier idealist intuitions. Idealism would go on to deeply transform Tolstoy's life and work, reconnecting him to the simple but profound intuitions of meaning that pervade the lives of peasants. This easy-to-read essay recounts the existential difficulties of a world-famous individual who presaged both our cultural ethos today, and the transformative opportunities offered by modern idealism.
Michael Asher, BA, FRSL
Can we live without searching for ultimate truths? (The Return of Metaphysics)
It is second nature for human beings to look for ultimate truths and ground our lives on that search. But should we give up on ultimates altogether and, instead, live pragmatically on the basis of the best 'literary story' we can come up with? Dr. Danielsen Huckerby describes how philosopher Richard Rorty argued for just that.
Elin Danielsen Huckerby, PhD
Physicist and inventor of the microprocessor, Federico Faggin, on life, the universe and everything
Physicist Federico Faggin is the inventor of both the microprocessor and silicon gate technology, and probably the world's most well rounded idealist alive. This interview is an open, free-ranging but very accessible conversation with Mr. Faggin.
The world as cognitive construct
Today's article examines our decidedly limited mental representation of the world, and how it is fundamentally linked to the systems of meaning available to us, to our perceptual constructs. It lays out incredible data to show just how much and in how many ways our perception can be manipulated, and the role we often take in our own delusion.
The world in mind: Transcendental idealism in Husserl and Kant
Although the philosophies of Kant and Husserl are not logically inconsistent with a hypothetical world outside mind, both deny that there is any meaning or significance to such a theoretical abstraction. Therefore, both Kant and Husserl were true idealists, argues dr. van Mazijk.
dr. Corijn van Mazijk
How hyper-dimensional spacetime may explain individual identity
How can one natural consciousness appear to be many? Prof. Bernard Carr proposes that multiple dimensions of time, which can also be associated with the notion of a 'specious present,' can resolve the problem both rigorously and in an intuitively satisfying manner.
Prof. Bernard Carr, PhD
Consciousness, spacetime and the intelligence of nature
Closing the second day of the 2021 'The Science of Consciousness' conference, dr. Jacob Jolij, dr. Esmee Gerken and Dr. Iain McGilchrist take questions and debate consciousness, spacetime and the intelligence of nature.
Prof. dr. Sarah Durston
Fictions and simulations: The case for idealism
A new, creative and compelling argument—even a new type of argument—for idealism is elaborated upon in this long-form essay, which is fluid and easy to read.
Alessandro Sanna, PhD
Falling for naive common-sense: Russell and physical realism (The Return of Metaphysics)
The story of our falling for naive physical realism—the notion that we can become directly acquainted with non-mental entities, which are supposed to have standalone existence—in the early 20th century, and how modern thought is now bringing us back to more mature Idealism.
Prof. Fraser MacBride, PhD
Is the human brain a model of the universe? Read and commented on by Nadia Hassan
The article Nadia Hassan reads today presents documented similarities between the human brain and the cosmos, and poses the question: can either be modeled after the other? This very exciting possibility might allow as of yet undiscovered truths about both realms, and bring us closer to the Holy Grail of modern physics, the Theory of Everything.
Is Western thought marching towards Eastern Idealism?
Prof. Grego argues that, if we extrapolate the evolutionary trajectory of Western scientific and philosophical thought since the European Enlightenment, it becomes possible to discern that it is progressing towards a consciousness-only ontology convergent with Eastern thought.
How can you be me? The answer is time
That you believe you were your five-year-old self is grounds to believe that you can be another person, right now, while still being you, argues our executive director in this stimulating theoretical essay.
Bernardo Kastrup, PhD, PhD
Interview with Dr. Iain McGilchrist, on the nature of reality (Part 2)
Here is the second and final part of our interview with Dr. Iain McGilchrist, on the nature of reality. Unmissable!
Interview with Dr. Iain McGilchrist, on consciousness and its role in nature
Essentia Foundation's Natalia Vorontsova interviews psychiatrist and author Dr. Iain McGilchrist about his new work, "The Matter with Things," and the role of consciousness in nature. Unmissable!
The Three Minds, read and commented on by Nadia Hassan
The article Nadia Hassan reads today shines an important light on the field of medicine, allopathic medicine in particular, and questions the largely biomedical approach underpinning mainstream practice. It argues for a more connected and balanced view, one in which the role of mind is paramount in understanding illness, and the process of healing.
The futile search for the non-mental: Derrida's critique of metaphysics (The Return of Metaphysics)
Jacques Derrida argued that finding some 'uncontaminated' presence of reality is impossible, for our experiences are determined by our mental contexts. Yet, perhaps far from refuting metaphysics, Derrida may actually make a case for the recognition that our reality isn't just contaminated by the mental, but is mental.
Higher dimensions of consciousness?
In this much anticipated presentation of the 'Science of Consciousness' conference 2021, dr. Jacob Jolij brings advanced physics and philosophy of mind together, to discuss higher dimensions of consciousness.
Jacob Jolij, PhD
Mind may be older than we think
We may have reasons to believe that life is an intentional work of art; and not a very original one, for it may be based on a form of planetary imitation!
The Collapse
Hans Busstra and his guest, Dr. Markus Müller, make Quantum Mechanics intuitively understandable, while remaining true to it. They argue that we must start from a first-person perspective and predict what we will see next, as opposed to the metaphysical presupposition of an external, objective physical universe with standalone existence. If truly understood, as this episode attempts to help you do, his views are as compelling as its implications are world-changing.
Idealism rediscovered (The Return of Metaphysics)
Prof. Paul Redding highlights the recently rediscovered importance of German Idealism, particularly Hegel's idealism, in articulating solutions to present-day problems.
Prof. Paul Redding, PhD
Blobs of order
In this fascinating presentation, filled with surprising images, Dr. Esmee Geerken looks deeper into the symbiosis between animal and mineral, aiming to form new materials through biomineralization mechanisms.
Esmee Geerken, PhD
The miraculous epicycles of materialism
Faced with a growing mountain of refutations in the form of empirical evidence and clear reasoning, materialism tries to survive through a bizarre display of absurd imaginary entities, hypotheses and hollow rhetoric, writes our executive director in this week's mid-week nugget.
Can consciousness understand itself?
Has human consciousness evolved enough to understand what it is and isn't? Dr. Hogan warns against a rush to judgment when it comes to answering the big questions of life, self, and reality at large.
John Hogan, PhD
The Platonic realm emerging in mind and nature
Prof. dr. Erik Verlinde, well-known for his ground-breaking theory of entropic gravity, talks about emergence in mind and nature, as well as the Platonic realm physicists tap into to describe the world.
Prof. dr. Erik Verlinde
The fantasy behind Sabine Hossenfelder's superdeterminism
Our Executive Director critiques physicist Sabine Hossenfelder's proposed 'superdeterminism,' which aims to account for the theoretical difficulties of quantum measurement without departing from physicalist metaphysical assumptions.
Idealist stones hurt too
Physical realism is a leap of faith compelled by fear induced by a failure of the imagination, argues Dino Alfier. He provides a comprehensive take-down of Samuel Johnson's attempt to refute Bishop Berkeley's idealism by famously kicking a stone and proclaiming, in a peculiar display of circular and illogical reasoning, "I refute it thus."
Dino Alfier, PhD
The ethics of Idealism, read and discussed
Today's article is a fascinating deep dive into the subject of morality and the neurological mechanics of our joint human condition. It is an eye-opening presentation of how we actually relate to each other, and what this could mean for the future of our collective consciousness.
The Science of Consciousness: Panel discussion, first day
Closing the first day of the 2021 'The Science of Consciousness' conference, dr. Bernardo Kastrup, Prof. dr. Heleen Slagter, Dr. Steve Taylor and Prof. dr. Henk Barendregt take questions and debate.
Is intelligibility a pre-condition for existence? (The Return of Metaphysics)
University of Chicago's Prof. Robert Pippin returns to Kant and Hegel to ask the question: is intelligibility a precondition for existence? Are our thought processes and their inherent capabilities and limitations fundamentally linked to what can or cannot exist in nature? He reviews German Idealism to ponder what it could mean for us today.
Prof. Robert Pippin, PhD
The force that complexifies nature
A form of consciousness that pervades all nature impels physical structures to become more complex and, eventually, canalizes itself into our individual being. This is what Dr. Steve Taylor, from Leeds Beckett University, argues in his presentation during our 2021 'The Science of Consciousness' work conference.
Steve Taylor, PhD
What lurks behind spacetime?
The cosmic riddle of structure without extension—of how complexity can exist outside space and time—is tackled by our Executive Director in this first edition of our 'mid-week nugget.'
Whirlpools in Universal Consciousness
Dr. Nagaraj reminds us of the extraordinarily rich and long history of metaphysical Idealism in Indian philosophy, and of the power of metaphors to illustrate, to the common person, the simultaneously profound and simple truths of Idealism.
Nithin Nagaraj, PhD
The mathematical logic of consciousness
In the second presentation of the 'Science of Consciousness' conference 2021, Prof. dr. Henk Barendregt brings the rigor of mathematical logic to our understanding of consciousness and its various states and manifestations. For good measure, he also discusses Vipassana meditation within this formal context.
Prof. dr. Henk Barendregt
Conscious storms and the origin of life
This surprisingly coherent and empirically well-grounded essay argues that, although governed by blind, purposeless laws of nature, the Earth's atmosphere—just like biological brains—may be associated with a subjective first-person perspective, and may have therefore purposely created life on Earth. The essay coherently brings together a compatibilist approach to free will, an idealist metaphysics and speculations about abiogenesis.
The predictive mind
In a fascinating exploration of some of our minds' most amazing abilities, Prof. dr. Heleen Slagter, Principal Investigator of the Cognition & Plasticity Laboratory of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, talks about the predictive mind: the ability of our cognitive systems to not only perceive the world, but also infer what the world should be like, given our previous experiences.
Prof. dr. Heleen Slagter
Nadia Hassan reads 'Re-thinking identity: Children's experiences of self'
In the best episode of 'Essentia Readings' yet, Nadia Hassan introduces us to her young niece, a child who is aware, during sleep, of the fact that she is asleep. This suggests that our original, natural sense of self and consciousness, before culture tells us how to think about both, is much different than our adult understanding.
What neuroscience actually shows about consciousness
In his opening presentation of the 'Science of Consciousness' conference 2021, Essentia Foundation's executive director Bernardo Kastrup reviews the neuroscientific evidence and discusses what it actually tells about consciousness. He also discusses, in explicit and specific detail, what he perceives as widespread physicalist confirmation bias in both academia and mainstream media.
The spirit of the universe
The gap between panpsychism and idealism is bridged if one infers that fundamental consciousness, instead of being a property of elementary material particles, pervades the fabric of space itself, from where it is then canalized into living beings.
Iain McGilchrist: "Consciousness is the stuff of the cosmos"
Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Iain McGilchrist laid out his idealist metaphysical views unambiguously in the closing presentation of the 'Science of Consciousness' conference, 2021. His clarity, lucidity and almost hypnotically compelling style provided a spellbinding end to the conference. Video and transcript follow.
Idealism may not be what you think
It increasingly strikes us that the reason why many scientists and scholars reject idealism—the notion that reality is essentially mental—is based on simple misunderstandings of what idealism states or implies. In this brief editorial, we would like to discuss and correct some of these misunderstandings.
Nadia Hassan reads, 'Near-Death Experiences during cardiac arrest'
In the fourth episode of the Essentia Readings podcast (available for free on all major platforms), Nadia Hassan reads Dr. Pim van Lommel's 'Near-Death Experiences during cardiac arrest,' a half-hour of fascinating material.
Conceptual reasoning might seem as central to our understanding of self and world today as the Earth once seemed central in the pre-Copernican cosmos. But just as the Copernican Revolution repositioned the Earth in the orbit of a much larger system, an on-going revolution in our understanding of ourselves will dramatically expand the boundaries of our inner cosmos.
Reality Reminded, a podcast like no other!
We're launching the Reality Reminded podcast, with acclaimed Dutch documentary filmmaker Hans Busstra. Could it be that we have 'un'minded reality and now need to 're'mind it? This is a show like no other, in that each episode covers a specific theme, as opposed to a specific interviewee; the listening experience has an almost visual feel to it; and the content covered is more akin to an ongoing television documentary than a podcast. And best of all, it's all FREE.
Nadia Hassan reads 'What is consciousness?'
In the third episode of the Essentia Readings podcast (available for free on all major directories), Nadia Hassan reads Dr. Gerald Woerlee's What is consciousness? A half-hour of fascinating material that may surprise you.
The eternal background of consciousness: An interview with Prof. Vyacheslav Moiseev
When a special kind of 'beingness' organizes itself by taking on form, it presents itself to itself, from within, against its own background, thereby igniting consciousness into existence.
Announcing 'The Science of Consciousness' online conference, 2021
Every year Essentia Foundation organizes an online conference featuring some of the world's leading scholars, scientists and academics, on a topic relevant to ontological idealism. This year, we are delighted to focus on The Science of Consciousness, in a very special edition of the conference organized by Prof. dr. Sarah Durston. We're even more delighted to count as our partners, this time, the Sentience and Science Foundation and the Institute for Advanced Study of the University of Amsterdam.
Sinking into life: the tragedy of our lost philosophy
In an age when abstraction and conceptual games have come to dominate our philosophy, we must wonder whether we've lost something important, even crucial, in our way to relate to the world, one another and even ourselves.
The ethics of idealism
Research suggests that there is a neurological foundation to the experience of social connectivity, and that it is the same as the foundation of consciousness itself: synchronistic alignment appears not only within an individual brain in correlation with experience, but also between people taking part in joint tasks. This can form the basis for an objective ethics, argues Dr. Walden.
Nadia Hassan reads 'Communicating through the collective unconscious'
In this fascinating second episode of the Essentia Readings podcast, Nadia reads Prof. Victor Petrenko's work. Nadia's commentary towards the end is particularly spellbinding! This podcast is available through all major platforms.
The hierarchical structure of the universal mind
Spanish science journalist and doctor Antonio Rial delights us with the perspectives acquired after decades studying and communicating science. He regards reality as the image of a hierarchical structure of mental processes, an evolving ecosystem of minds.
Antonio Rial, MD, PhD
Inducing the mental creation of experiential realities
Can people—even those ostensibly not hypnotizable—be coaxed into creating entire virtual realities that they then take for facts? Can the same techniques be used to alter our memories of the past? If so, is this significant for our understanding of what reality—the real reality—actually is? Psychologists Prof. Petrenko and Dr. Kucherenko share astonishing results produced by Russian clinical and experimental psychology, which answer these questions in the affirmative.
Prof. Victor F. Petrenko, PhD, PhD
On the self-validating nature of idealism
While physicalism is impossible to confirm even in principle, idealism suffers from no such limitation. This intrinsic verifiability makes it a more fruitful avenue of investigation.
Aditya Prasad
Launching the Essentia Readings podcast, with Nadia Hassan
We are delighted to launch today the Essentia Readings podcast. In it, British-Lebanese artist Nadia Hassan reads a selection of the material published by Essentia Foundation, adding her own commentary and impressions. With this initiative, we hope to reach you with quality, enriching content not only during your reading time, but in other moments of your life as well.
Depression, anxiety and the grip of metaphysics
Metaphysical beliefs modulate our experience of all aspects of life. As such, explicitly assessing the metaphysics we internalize can be the difference between depression and contentment, anxiety and vibrant aliveness. In this brief editorial, we highlight the crucial importance of metaphysics to every facet of our lives.
Keeping a close 'I' on 'reality' in social science
In seeking to ameliorate social injustices by debunking the egoic self as measure of all things, the social sciences risk inadvertently abolishing the very notion of a subject of experience, argues Dr. Donna Thomas. The way forward, according to her, is to embrace metaphysics and understand the self not as a separate social agent, but as the ontic ground of all reality, common to all of us.
There is no self: the periodic table of experience
Theologian Dr. Asher Walden argues that the self can be accounted for purely as a momentary aggregate of mental factors. Although we normally think of experience as some kind of relation between a subject and an object, in truth there is just experience.
This 'zero-worlds' theory might just be crazy enough to be true
Journalist Hans Busstra interviews physicist Dr. Markus Müller on his so-called 'zero-worlds' theory, which was not meant as a proof of idealism, but does 'give you idealism for free.'
The activity theory of consciousness
Prof. Vladimir Serkin discusses a theory of consciousness whereby the latter is not regarded as merely a product of physiological function. His isn't an idealist approach and, therefore, we at Essentia Foundation reserve judgment about it. However, the theory is undoubtedly scholarly and reveals the remarkably interesting directions in which Russian academia is pursuing an explanation for mind. They aren't as held back by physicalist prejudices as similar efforts in the West, and thus deserve our careful attention.
Prof. Vladimir Serkin, PhD, PhD
Dissociation and complexity: A psychiatrist's perspective
The claim that individual human consciousness is a segment of a universal mind, separated from it via dissociation, is supported by the neurobiology of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), according to psychiatrist Dr. Yulia Perch. In this essay, complexity science and Dr. Perch's own clinical experience are used to demonstrate that dissociative processes in a living psyche are not specific to DID, but widespread and inevitable.
Yulia Perch, MD
What's out there when our brains quit telling us stories?
If the reality we think we inhabit is but a story confabulated by the brain's 'default mode network,' what is the world 'out there,' and the self 'in here,' when the inner storytelling is subdued through meditation?
Communicating through the "Collective Unconscious"
Prof. Petrenko shows that we may be regularly, though implicitly, using the so-called "collective unconscious"—a transpersonal field of subjectivity we all share, but which we can't explicitly access through introspection—to tap into each other's minds, minds in the animal kingdom as a whole, and perhaps even beyond.
Our free Analytic Idealism Course is now online!
Today we're releasing a complete, carefully produced but free online course on Analytic Idealism, perhaps the most modern and intellectually compelling formulation of Idealism currently available. The course is based on a series of seven videos, totaling over 6 hours of content. It is conducted by Essentia Foundation's executive director, Bernardo Kastrup.
Analytic Idealism Course
Analytic Idealism Course This is a carefully produced but free, online, video-based course on Analytic Idealism, with over 6 hours of content, conducted by Essentia Foundation's executive director, Bernardo Kastrup. Whereas the course has been designed to be accessible to a non-specialist audience, it makes very few concessions in terms of the substance and thoroughness [...]
The primordial quantum language
Consciousness is the inner reality of the world, governed by the laws of coherent quantum systems, while matter is but an expression of the meaning inherent in this inner reality. The classical world of matter conforms to the statistical properties of a primordial quantum 'language' spontaneously used by the inner quantum reality to express itself. These are the insights of physicist—and inventor of the microprocessor—Federico Faggin in this captivating essay.
Federico Faggin
The flip, and the flipped: leaving materialism behind. An interview with Jeffrey J. Kripal.
Journalist and documentary filmmaker Hans Busstra interviews Prof. Jeffrey J. Kripal on 'the flip': the sudden change of worldview away from the materialist paradigm that is increasingly experienced by scientists, scholars and academics the world over.
Contact with universal consciousness through the research of human mentality
One of the most respected psychologists in the Slavic world—where materialist prejudices are less pronounced—Prof. Victor Petrenko, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, discusses his views on the nature of mind and reality. He shows, through remarkable experiments, that our very perception is conditioned upon our ability to tell ourselves, conceptually, what we are perceiving. It is possible that we simply do not perceive what we have no conceptual categories to make sense of. This way, we may be immersed in effectively alien aspects of reality that we cannot cognize. This captivating essay introduces to a Western audience the high-quality—and arguably less metaphysically biased—scholarship of the Slavic world in an area of knowledge whose relevance to our lives cannot be overestimated.
Near-Death Experiences during cardiac arrest
In this short and powerful essay, cardiologist Dr. Pim van Lommel summarizes and discusses four rigorous studies of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) carried out in clinical settings. He concludes that, on a scientific basis, the materialist notion that brain activity somehow is or generates consciousness is not adequate to accommodate and make sense of the empirical evidence available.
dr. Pim van Lommel
Is it possible to make a conscious computer?
Science fiction and certain voices in academia have manufactured cultural plausibility for the notion that we should, one day, be able to build a conscious computer. But is this idea even coherent to begin with? Who best to ask but the creator of the microprocessor and artificial intelligence pioneer, Federico Faggin.
Can a physicist embrace idealism?
Is science in general, and physics in particular, compatible with a consciousness-only worldview in which matter is merely an appearance of extended mental processes underlying all nature? Physicist Dr. Claus Metzner doesn't see why they shouldn't.

Re-thinking identity: Children's experiences of self
Dr. Thomas argues that children, before a conceptual, culture-bound notion of self is inculcated in them, have a more spontaneous, broader sense of identity that defies our current worldview. She argues that their more natural, fluid self is more conducive to overcoming the despair characteristic of our present situation, and that it has much to teach us about reality itself.
Consciousness is more fundamental than, and precedes, higher-level mental activity such as thoughts and emotions. Therefore, it is possible that consciousness—as a kind of primary 'operating system'—is present even in the complete absence of recognizable mental activity, argues dr. Woerlee with the authority of an anesthesiologist. We may thus be conscious even during states of seeming unconsciousness, which is relevant for metaphysics—such as idealism—that consider consciousness fundamental.

The physics of first-person perspective: An interview with physicist Dr. Markus Müller
After Dr. Müller's extraordinary presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference, we, the editors, felt the need to interview him and explore his ideas further. If you haven't watched his presentation already, we recommend you do so before reading on. The video is linked.
Hello, we are Essentia Foundation
In this inaugural editorial, we introduce ourselves to you by discussing our perspective on an urgent challenge facing our society, our vision for how to address this challenge, and how we hope to contribute to the solution.
The Flip: Recalibrating the humanities and the sciences around extraordinary experiences
There are extraordinary experiences that, although commonplace, contradict the current materialist metaphysics. This is what Prof. Jeffrey J. Kripal argues in his presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference.
Prof. Jeffrey J. Kripal, PhD
Conscious realism
Is matter merely a 'graphical user interface' to a deeper, conscious reality? In his presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference, neuroscientist Prof. Donald Hoffman argues compellingly that this is indeed the case.
Prof. Donald D. Hoffman, PhD
Making space and time for matter and mind
A new understanding of space and time is a prerequisite for making sense of the mind-body problem, argues Prof. Bernard Carr in his presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference.
Consciousness unbound
Has rigorous empirical research ever contradicted materialism? In his presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference, Prof. Edward F. Kelly discusses decades of solid scientific work that does precisely that.

Kabbalistic panpsychism: The enigma of consciousness in Jewish mystical thought
There are uncanny correspondences between Jewish mysticism and cutting-edge theories of reality such as idealist cosmopsychism, as discussed by neurologist Prof. Hyman M. Schipper in his presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference.
Prof. Hyman M. Schipper, MD, PhD, FRCPC
Essentia Foundation's 2020 work conference
Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference In late 2020, Essentia Foundation has brought together an elite group of scientists and scholars to discuss, over two different days, the role of mind in nature. Is mind merely epiphenomenal? Or is it the very ground of reality? The discussions unfolded along a broad variety of disciplines, from hardcore [...]
The role of mind in neuroscience
After failing to find anatomical or functional correlates of a variety of psychiatric conditions, Prof. dr. Sarah Durston has moved away from metaphysical materialism. This is what she discusses in her presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference.
Prof. Mikhail Ilyin, PhD, PhD
A word from our Founder
Fred Matser, Essentia Foundation's Founder and Chairman, explains his motivations for taking this initiative.
The limits of conceptual communication
Fred Matser, Essentia Foundation's Founder and Chairman, invites us to contemplate the limits of mere words and concepts in our interactions with one another and nature at large. Are we missing out on important things because we assume that what cannot be said also cannot exist?
Is the human brain a model of the universe?
In this eye-popping essay, physicist and mathematician Melvin Felton explores the uncanny and unexpected similarities between the structure of the human brain and the universe at large, at both unfathomably small and unfathomably vast scales. Nothing in today's science explains these bewildering similarities.
Melvin A. Felton
Is what you see, what you get?
Is what we see, what we get? Are the seemingly material objects around us what the world actually is? Or are our perceptions merely providing us with a coded representation of a deeper, mysterious reality?
Mind before matter
So what comes first, matter or mind? Prof. Kak's answer is nuanced and deserves a thoughtful read.
Prof. Subhash Kak, PhD
The three minds: A framework beyond biopsychosocial medicine
In this cogent essay, emergency physician Dr. Anoop Kumar elaborates on his view of the fundamental role mind plays in healthcare, as well as his three-minds model.
Anoop Kumar, MD, MMgt
Where is your mind?
Does the brain produce the mind? Or is the relationship between the two something altogether different? We explore the latest science in this short film.
Kabbalistic panpsychism
In this powerful essay, Prof. Schipper unveils the uncanny similarities and correspondences between the ancient Kabbalah and cutting-edge theories of reality such as idealist cosmopsychism.
Seeing things: The daimonic nature of reality
Are popular myths and tales merely an expression of naive superstition, or do they reflect—metaphorically or symbolically, as the case may be—something real about the underlying nature of reality? Author Patrick Harpur's answer is as thoughtful as it is nuanced.
From enigmas in physics to a structural version of idealism
Our first-person perspective is primary, the external world emergent, argues physicist and member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Dr. Markus Müller, in his presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference. A follow-up interview with Dr. Müller, expanding on the topics of his presentation, is also available.
Is matter but a superficial appearance?
Does the matter that surrounds us have a standalone reality, irrespective of observation? Or is matter merely the thin, superficial appearance of a deeper, mysterious reality?
Limitless life
Prof. dr. Jan van der Greef discusses his intellectual journey from childhood polio to life sciences, entrepreneurship, art, and finally to a non-dual relationship with nature at large. Watch his presentation during Essentia Foundation's 2020 online work conference.

Anthony Trujillo is a member of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, one of the six Tewa speaking pueblos located in the upper Rio Grande Valley. He is a PhD candidate in American Studies at Harvard University with a Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School. His research focuses on Indigenous engagements with – and resistance to – colonial Christianities in the 18th and 19th centuries with particular attention the effects of Christianity on Indigenous connections to their homelands and waterspaces and the downstream impacts on territorial, spiritual and political sovereignties of contemporary Native nations and descendent communities. He is the coordinator of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Working Group at Harvard.
Both Benjamin and Apess discern that historical narratives are imbricated with notions of futurity, that is, which bodies and polities are allowed to inhabit and thrive within the temporality in which the "not yet" and the "always already" co-constitute each other.
William Apess, like Walter Benjamin a century later, sought to shift the paradigms of society with history and theology as orienting poles for colonial critique. Anticipating Benjamin, Apess looked to those who had been wrecked by the advance of colonialism as the grounding site for historical and political theological inquiry.

Q: Convert varchar 'hh:mm:ss' to datetime hh:mm:ss in SQL Server I tried to convert a varchar variable stored in my database as HH:MM:SS to an actual datetime format HH:MM:SS. I did get the value for HH:MM:SS but the attempt also prefixed the YYYY:MM:DD along with the expected result.
Following is the code that I used to convert this varchar value to HH:MM:SS and the result I got.
Code I tried :
DECLARE @Duration Varchar(10)
SET @Duration = '00:01:23'

SELECT CONVERT(datetime, Duration, 8) AS duration

The output I got :
1900-01-01 00:01:23.000

The expected output:
00:01:23

Please let me know what needs to be changed in this. Thank you!

A: If you want time, why are you converting to datetime? Given the name it shouldn't be surprising you get both date and time. Try:
DECLARE @Duration char(8) = '00:01:23';
SELECT duration = CONVERT(time(0), @Duration);

Results:

duration

00:01:23

*

*Example db<>fiddle
Just keep in mind that time (nor any date/time type) is not meant to represent a duration or interval. Because what happens when your duration or interval exceeds 24 hours?

A: What you posted is a time, not a date or datetime. A duration isn't a date. The date types are binary, they don't have prefixes.
You can define a time directly with :
Declare @Duration time ='00:01:23'

Or you can cast a string to a time:
Declare @Duration varchar(10)
Set @Duration = '00:01:23'
Select cast(@Duration as time)  as duration

or
Declare @Duration varchar(10)
Set @Duration = '00:01:23'
Select convert(time, @Duration,8)  as duration

Unfortunately that's not a duration, it's a time of day. It can only store values between 00:00 and 23:59:59.9999999.
SQL Server has no interval/duration type.

A: Declare @Duration Varchar(10)
Set @Duration = '00:01:23'
select convert(time,@duration,8);

2011 NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS: Factsheet 2
Ethnic Origin and Visible Minorities
This factsheet looks at data on ethnic origin and visible minorities released by
Statistics Canada as part of the 2011 National Household Survey1. In the
Census, visible minorities are defined as persons who are non-Caucasian in race
or non-white in colour and who do not report being Aboriginal.
Ontario's Population is Highly Diverse
Ethnic origin refers to the ethnic or cultural origins of the
respondent's ancestors.
The ethnic origin most often reported in the 2011 National Household Survey was Canadian. An estimated 2,946,095 people living in Ontario reported Canadian as their ethnic origin, either alone or in combination with other origins.
Canadian was followed closely by English, reported by 2,925,660 Ontarians.
Other most reported ethnic origins in Ontario were Scottish (2,080,545), Irish (2,069,110), French (1,362,320), German (1,154,550), Italian (883,990) and Chinese (713,245), East Indian (678,465) and Dutch (508,595).
In total, more than 200 ethnic origins were reported by Ontarians in the 2011 NHS.
One in Four Ontarians A Member of the Visible Minority Population
In 2011, 3,279,565 Ontarians identified themselves as a member of the visible minority population.
These individuals comprised 25.9% of Ontario's total population; represented more than half of Canada's total visible minorities (6.3 million).
The vast majority of visible minorities live in urban centres, of which 2.6 million live in the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA).
Between 2006 and 2011, Ontario's visible minority population increased nearly five times faster than the population as a whole (19.5% vs. 4.0%). Ontario's 301,430 people who self-identified as aboriginal are not counted as part of the visible minority population.
Of the 3.3 million Ontarians who identified themselves as visible minority, three in ten (31.0%) were born in Canada, while 69.0% were born outside Canada.
South Asian was the Largest Visible Minority
Combined, the three largest visible minority groups in 2011 – South Asians, Chinese and Blacks – accounted for nearly two-thirds (65.1%) of visible minorities.
South Asian was the single largest visible minority group, accounting for 29.5% of visible minorities and 7.6% of Ontario's total population.
The South Asian population grew 21.6%, from 794,170 in 2006 to 965,900 in 2011.
Visible Minorities in Ontario's CMAs
In 2011, nearly all (98.3%) of Ontario's visible minorities lived in Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs). They comprised 31.8% of the province's total CMA population.
The Toronto CMA was home to 2,596,420 visible minorities which accounted for 47.0% of its population. This represented 79.2% or nearly 4 in 5 of Ontario's total visible minorities (3.3 million).
Ottawa-Gatineau (Ontario part) had the second highest proportion (22.8%) of visible minorities among all the 15 CMAs of the province.
Windsor ranked third in the proportion of visible minorities (17.2%), followed by Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo (16.2%) and Hamilton (14.3%).
South Asians, Chinese and Blacks: Toronto CMA's Largest Visible Minorities
South Asians, Chinese and Blacks were the three largest visible minorities in Toronto. The 2011 NHS counted 833,085 South Asians, 531,635 Chinese and 397,175 Blacks.
South Asians in Toronto represented 32.1% of all visible minorities in the CMA and 15.1% of the total population of Ontario. They accounted for 86.2% of all South Asians in Ontario.
The Chinese made up 20.5% of Toronto's visible minorities and 9.6% of the total population, while Blacks made up 15.3% of the CMA's visible minorities and 7.2% of the total population.
Markham and Brampton Have the Highest Proportion of Visible Minorities Among CSDs (Municipalities)
Town of Markham had the highest proportion of visible minorities in Canada. Visible minorities accounted for nearly three quarters (72.3%) of its population, up from 65.4% in 2006. Over half (52.9%) of Markham's visible minorities were Chinese and over one quarter (26.4%) were South Asian.
In Brampton, visible minorities represented 66.4% of the population, the second highest among Ontario's Census Subdivisions (CSDs). South Asians comprised more than half (57.8%) of the visible minorities.
Over half (53.7%) of Mississauga's population were identified as visible minorities, of which 40.5% were South Asians.
1 Comparability between the 2006 Census and the 2011 NHS estimates:
When comparing estimates over time, two key differences should be considered: 1. The NHS is a voluntary survey and may be subject to potentially higher non-response error than the 2006 Census. 2. The two sources represent different populations ̶ the 2006 Census includes residents in collective dwellings and persons living abroad, while the NHS excludes these groups.
