Bernardo Kastrup @bernardokastrup

We did it, and it was a blast! Our invitation-only 2025 conference may have been a seminal moment, a first step on the road to science's first predictive theory of the noumena. Thanks everyone for participating and contributing so much! #EssentiaFoundation #engelberg #engelbergswitzerland

Recording: What perception veils and reveals Dashboards, dials and what lies beyond. Q&A with Bernardo on 14th Oct 2025

Most people think that the sun and stars, the rivers and trees are what is 'out there.' @bernardokastrup.bsky.social contends that this is impossible - our experience is a dashboard about reality, not a window onto it. Summary of this conversation is here:

SiPearl’s Athena1 promises dual-use security for European defense and aerospace Athena1 is described as the most secure CPU ever designed, but questions remain over whether Europe’s sovereign chip can compete with rivals when it launches in 2027.

"The launch is part of Europe’s growing push for independence in semiconductors and follows European startup Euclyd’s freshly announced CRAFTWERK SiP that claims bandwidth levels far beyond Nvidia’s designs."

Dreams, horror & beauty are real Dr Sthaneshwar Timalsina & Bernardo Kastrup dialogue 7th Oct 2025

In Trika, raw emotions like love, humour, and grief can connect us to the absolute. But in this dialogue @bernardokastrup.bsky.social did not shy away from a deeply human response to the horror reality can contain.

Now let me turn around my messaging: the best way to stop the fascists is for the non-fascists in power to be competent. If non-fascists screw up, there's no stopping populist fascism. The latter won't make anyone's life better, but will ruin everything before the people realise their mistake.

Last time, when tens of millions were killed or murdered and the world was left in ruins, history recorded those who had a public platform and nonetheless opted to remain silent in face of the rise of fascism. This time it won't be any different. Let the record show I haven't remained silent.

A youth dream come true. I was finishing high-school when this came out, but the price was way above my most daring dreams of consumption. This machine was a market flop, but a triumph of pure design and computer engineering.

Well, if there was any doubt about the US's descent into fascism, there is none now. The whole playbook is being used, even the same words. We've seen this before. You gotta be alarmingly blind or naive not to see it is happening again. This isn't a softer 21st century version; it's the full monty.
