"Why Materialism is Baloney"

[Don Salmon]

Hi folks:

Just thought I'd share this with you. There's a wonderful new book just out.  If you would like to hear the author speak, look up 'Science and non Duality" (our Thomas McFarlane has given a wonderful talk, available on Vimeo, at one of their conferences) and "Bernardo Kastrup".

There's a very interesting discussion of his books going on here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/metaphysical-speculations/K5_PDMPK79c

I'm sure you'll find all sorts of philosophic limitations - he's a computer scientist, not in any way a trained philosopher.  He's very very open about this, and somehow manages to sustain a level of humility that is all too rare these days

Anyway, just thought I'd let y'all know.

Very best,

Don

Thanks, Don.  Just in time for a seminar in two weeks.  This will be useful.

I had a group of friends in a study group read your "Integral Psychology - end of Wilbur V"...(approximate), to much appreciation.   The only critique, "too long"...  (for our format).  Otherwise, much good comment and discussion.   

Of all the good concepts in the paper, somehow the Mickey Mantle (.."or Reggie Jackson, for your younger people...") analogy was highly memorable.   It helped put a lot of parapsychology research in perspective.

I look forward to this most recent reference.   Thanks again, Don.

Yes, i've received the "too long" feedback quite a bit:>)   Glad you found the paper helpful. I had fun writing it.   Hope you enjoy Bernardo Kastrup.  I've listened to and read more of his stuff since writing, and it seems his philosophic thinking may be more subtle than I thought.  Will be interesting to hear what you think. 

there, not too long:>))
