Sacrifice, Meaning, Nietzsche, Consciousness & The Daimon — Dr Bernardo Kastrup, PhD

Bernardo is an author, scientist, philosopher, and the Director of the Essentia Foundation. He holds two PhDs - one in philosophy and the other in engineering. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. In this conversation, you’ll learn: — How the life of Friedrich Nietzsche can be thought of as a microcosm of a cultural macrocosm we are currently experiencing — Why life is inherently sacrificial and how understanding this can provide a rich and deep source of meaning in our lives — Bernardo’s concept of the “Daimon” and how to harness it to live a life of service and let nature work through you.
