The Birth of Thought
On the origin of creativity, the universe & you - Q&A with Bernardo Kastrup, 2nd June 2026
What gives rise to creativity, to the universe, to a thought, and to you?
From the perspective of Analytic Idealism, these could all be variations on the same question. After all, the universe is one great thought, and, if Bernardo is correct, so are you. One that is temporarily dissociated from all the other thoughts, and with a vantage point all of its own...
For tomorrow's session with Bernardo, I've selected questions from past AMAs that revolve around these themes:
- The formation of thought - Kristen Masters
- Inner life of a thought - Robert Ruxandrescu
- The origin of creativity - Alastair Porwal
- Evolution of metacognition - Sara
- Why am I here and now, not there and then? - Sally Campbell
Fertile territory for profound conversation...
See you there!
