    In this episode, Professor Tim Maudlin explains the great rift in physics. He talks about the violation of Bell’s inequality and explains the historical development of general relativity and quantum physics. We explore the collapse of the wave function, non-locality versus locality, and deterministic and non-deterministic theories. He shares his thoughts on free will, compatibilism, string theory, and loop quantum gravity. We discuss the terms observer and measurement, and the notions of eternalism and the block universe. He discusses his own current work and shares his thoughts on why philosophy is valuable and what it has to give to a person.

    How Your Brain Learns To Be Conscious | Prof. Axel Cleeremans

    In this episode, Professor Axel Cleeremans explains his radical plasticity thesis and talks about implicit learning. We explore how much of our knowledge is unconscious and automatic, and how consciousness may emerge through learning about our own mental processes. We also discuss the role of language, metarepresentation, and memory in developing higher levels of awareness. We consider whether consciousness increases over time, from newborns to adults, and compare human consciousness with AI. Finally, we reflect on philosophical issues such as the hard problem of consciousness and the distinction between access and phenomenal consciousness.

    Direct Democracy: A Bottom-Up Form Of Governance | Ioannis Damianou

    In this episode, 22-year-old parliamentary candidate Ioannis Damianou explains a different form of governance—direct democracy. As a member of the new political party Direct Democracy Cyprus, he discusses how giving people direct influence over decisions could reshape modern politics, and why current systems often fail to represent those affected by them. We then move into education, where he challenges fixed curriculums and emphasises curiosity-based learning—learning how to utilise information instead of just memorising it. We end the episode by discussing the key lessons Ioannis has learned about human behaviour and psychology through his past work as a video editor for Fidias, the founder of the party, whose channels have generated millions of subscribers and viewership. Lastly, Ioannis shares the transferable skills and strategic thinking he has developed through chess, where he was national champion in 2019.
