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.

I’d never heard of him until today, so I can honestly say he has not influenced me in any way. But I like what he has to say. 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.
