The Importance of Psychedelics, Consciousness, and Emergence in Virtual Environments

In this episode, I bring together a number of 'ingredients' to talk about how we might be able to create more immersive and responsive interactive virtual worlds. I talk about Process Philosophy as introduced in Kent Bye's Voices of VR ep 965; Lex Fridman's interview with Matthew Johnson on episode 145 about Psychedelics; RCT Studio's paper titled 'From Rules to Emergence' and a number of other great resources such as the Webaverse community and the World Science Festival video on 'Rethinking Thinking'.
