Tim Maudlin and Bernardo Kastrup Debate Quantum Realism

YouTube link https://youtu.be/rd7a_5M_37I Tim Maudlin, a physicist specializing in quantum mechanics, and Bernardo Kastrup, a philosopher with focus on consciousness studies. Topics include the ontological interpretations of quantum theory ("realism") and Bell's theorem. An attemptolocution. NOTE: The perspectives expressed by guests don't necessarily mirror my own. There's a versicolored arrangement of people on TOE, each harboring distinct viewpoints, as part of my endeavor to understand the perspectives that exist.
