The Primacy of Consciousness April 28, 2013 6:33 pm ER

Those of you who follow some of my more philosophical posts (“nature-of-the-universe-shit”, subjective perception vs objective reality, etc) may recognize that Peter Russell seems to be sailing some of the same seas I’ve been exploring lately.

He makes a lot more sense than most of these touchy-feely, Swami Suchabanana guys normally do. He also seems to have a good background in the hard sciences, so I am comfortable with the way he thinks.
