“If I sell the thing,” he’d told me once, “then I’ll have only satisfied one client. If I leave it where it is, then every one of them will think it can be theirs one day.”

“Can we begin to imagine a different kind of science? Thompson is making a modest start by putting his own work in touch with both neuroscience and Buddhism, as well as phenomenology. (He has participated in the Dalai Lama’s Mind and Life Dialogues.) Whatever else it is, a new science of consciousness will likely be a hybrid enterprise, informed by the values of empiricism and experiment but also by philosophy, imagination, and the arts (as Levin suggested); Indigenous epistemologies; Buddhism and other spiritual traditions; personal experience and intuition; and, yes, altered states of consciousness too.”

A few viewers have made some snide comments. Carl: For fuck’s sake. I can really do without the random peanut gallery comments. Donut: I BET THE SYSTEM AI LIKED IT.”

“Our senses exist mainly to refine, or error-correct, our minds’ best guesses as to what we’re experiencing.”

“One last piece of advice,” Odette said. “Never trust someone unless you know what they’re getting out of it.”
