UFO/UAP
Bernardo Kastrup on Aliens
Bernardo Kastrup, double PhD in philosophy and computer engineering, weighs in on non-human intelligence.
I find Doctor Kastrup to be a fascinating read, and a lively interview for a podcast dipping into the Metaphysical. Being interested in the metaphysical, even if it’s limited to speculative philosophy, I have dabbled because of personal experiences. Kastrup acknowledges he has been dismissive about UAP and the potential that non-human intelligence is the driving force, which to me feels like a contradiction. Can there be metaphysics without non-human intelligence? Can there be any science without non-human intelligence? Humanity, through science, has deemed itself the top of the intellectual pyramid by comparing and contrasting other species on earth. There is a measure for human versus ‘Other.’ Our self ranking doesn’t make us top dog. Is there “Other?”
Of course there is. Even if there was absolutely zero evidence for non-human intelligence, the fact there is life on Earth and other planets, more than anyone could have dared put a number on it 20 years ago, results in the natural inference there is non-human intelligence somewhere. That is no longer even debated. If life is a natural occurrence, then it happens everywhere.
