Philosopher and consciousness researcher Bernardo Kastrup argues that reality isn’t made of matter — it’s made of mind. And that insight, if true, changes everything: how we relate to each other, how we handle grief, how we understand mental illness, and even how we live day to day.

In this conversation, Simon and Bernardo explore what it means to live from a worldview that sees all of life as interconnected. They go deep into fear, death, empathy, identity, and the consequences of seeing through the illusion of separation — not as a spiritual ideal, but as an existential truth.

They discuss:

  • Why Bernardo fears death — and what it might mean to merge with all suffering
  • The lived consequences of seeing others as yourself
  • How this view affects grief, kindness, and the way we consume
  • Where materialism breaks down — and what might replace it
  • Why moments of flow, play, and stillness matter more than we realise
  • The role of madness and suffering in our evolution as a species

Bernardo's book Analytic Idealism in a nutshell: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Analytic-Idealism-Nutshell-straightforward-metaphysics/dp/1803416696
